Faith, The Key TO Joy Pt3: Thinking Differently
We need to think differently. “But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind”. What is it that would drive a group of 25 men in Syria, during the time of the Isis occupations that were sweeping the land, to purchase for themselves a graveyard to bury one another in for the almost certain death that would come for the preaching of the gospel of Christ? What would drive a young father, recently turned to Christ from Islam, to hand…
Faith; The Key To Joy pt2. Where It Began
The Key To Joy: Where It Began Luke 2:8–11 8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 11 For unto you is born this day in…
Faith, The Key To Joy Pt 1: Them That Honour Me…
The consideration for this series is one where I fear many of our brethren seem to be struggling so greatly in these days. The struggle is with faith and with the KNOWLEDGE of how valuable each of them are to the kingdom of God and that, abiding in the kingdom, we are to live in a constitution that is diametrically opposed to that manner of living evident in the world. Those who honour me I will honour. (1 Sam 2:30) There…
The Devil Pt 1: His Beginning
The Devil His Beginning Reading: Ezekiel 28:11–15 Introduction As we move on through the wonderful doctrines of the word of God, having established now the base and foundation of all Scripture through first our acknowledgment of the Bible and its own nature (while not ignoring the efforts of corruption now current in all English versions but one), then moving toward the author himself, God the father, Jesus Christ (The Word Incarnate) and God the Holy Spirit. Nine sermons given on the foundation of our faith, The…
Pt 7 Power Love and A Sound Mind
Power, Love and a Sound Mind 2 Timothy 1:6–14 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according…
The Unity Of The Spirit
The Unity of the Holy Spirit Ephesians 4:1–6 1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is…
The Apostasy Of The Last Days
The Apostasy of the Last Days (Hope Baptist Church) Reading: 2 Timothy 4:1-8 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Introduction: The issue of apostasy is close to my heart. For those of you who are unfamiliar: Apostasy might briefly be described…
Israel: A Promise Kept
What is the purpose of Prophecy?? “that ye may know” “ye may believe” When our Lord tarried at Jerusalem two more days after he was told that Lazarus was sick, Lazarus died. In John 11:11 Jesus then told his disciples the news saying; John 11:11–15 11… Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well. 13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he…
Baptism: Someone Saved
Someone Saved We had six, or perhaps more individuals today who have chosen to brave the weather conditions and be Baptised. Six people who testify to the most dramatic transformation a person can ever have, to go from death to life. A light has sparked in them that has brought them overwhelming joy and it’s a testimony those who are closest to them can see and have witnessed. They have been SAVED. It’s an expression that understands the just condemnation each…
