Leaving Your First Love

Revelation 2:1-7 — “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.” The church at Ephesus was highly commendable in many ways. The congregation were doing a lot of things well, but there was one critical problem. A problem that cast a pall over everything else they did. Their love for Jesus…

Joash

II Chronicles 34 — In this sermon we consider the rise and fall of the boy king Joash and we discover a story filled with importance for Christians today. It highlights the influence that Christians have in the lives of others. It illustrates the dangers of a shallow faith and outward conformity. It speaks of…

Stand Up For Jesus

Acts 4:13-22 — When Peter and John were dragged before the Jewish council for preaching the Gospel, they displayed great courage. They were plain and direct in answering their accusers and they refused to be silenced.

Nehemiah was sorely grieved…

God’s Way Is Better Than My Way

Exodus 13:17-22 — And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near…” When the Children of Israel were finally set free, why didn’t the LORD lead them via the most direct route to the land of…

Finally Free

Exodus 12:33-42 — “And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years… that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.” As we look at the events that took place on the day that Israel left Egypt, we are presented with a scene that magnifies…
