Cosmic Christmas – Part 2

Revelation 12:1-5 — As we continue to study this remarkable passage of Scripture, we turn our attention to the identity of the child. Who is this baby who is to “rule all nations with a rod of iron?” And what are we to make of the drama that unfolds? The dragon threatens to devour the…

Cosmic Christmas – Part 1

Revelation 12:1-5 — In this text of Scripture, the Apostle John describes two remarkable signs – a pregnant woman clothed with sun and a seven-headed dragon.

A Fitting Ending For Today

II John 12-13 — “Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full.” Due to the COVID pandemic, we have had to deal with restrictions that kept us from seeing our friends…

Part 5 – The Helmet of Salvation

Ephesians 6:17 — “And take the helmet of salvation…” A soldier’s helmet protected a vital part of his anatomy. It was a life-preserving piece of his armour and because it afforded him protection, it enabled him to go into battle confidently.

They would lose things that…

Part 3 – Feet Shod With The Gospel

Ephesians 6:15 — “And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” As we continue our study of the armour of God in Ephesians 6, Steve explains to us the Gospel shoes and what it means for a Christian to be prepared. Often we struggle in the spiritual battle because we’re not prepared…

Deceivers & Antichrists

II John 7 — “For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” In this study we come to the main point of the Epistle — John’s warning to his dear friend about false teachers. We see what…

Part 2 – The Breastplate of Righteousness

Ephesians 6:14 — “Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness.” A soldier’s breastplate protected his vital organs, it was a lifesaving piece of armour. So is righteousness to the Christian.  In this sermon, we think about what righteousness is and about how it’s something we desperately…
