Respond to the Message of the Gospel

  The readings will be parts of Acts 24, 25 and 26. We are looking at four men, Paul, governors Felix and Festus and King Agrippa. Paul as he so often does is sharing his testimony, we see this especially in Acts 26. He tells of his early life as a persecutor of Christians and how as he traveled from Jerusalem to Damascus to met him, verse 15. There on that road he surrendered his life to God and was transformed from a

Today You Will Be With Me In Paradise

Luke 23:33–43 There are moments in life when a single sentence can change everything. A doctor’s diagnosis can change a family’s plans. A judge’s sentence can change one’s future for someone and their family. A word of forgiveness can heal years of pain. A prophetic word can change the course of life. But on the cross, that day, Jesus speaks a sentence that changes all of eternity for all of us: “Today you will be with me in paradise.” Point 1 –

Do You Think God Has The Same Senses We Do

Are You Recognized?

Acts 4   Peter and John brought the name of Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit to raise up a man who had been lame his entire life. The reaction of the crowd brought the concern of the temple officials because they didn’t want their authority undermined. Peter and John, who had been jailed the night before, were given opportunity to defend themselves in the highest court in the land. The boldness of the two men was noted. The authorities recognized they had

Hope Through the Resurrection

1Cor 15:9,13 John 20 Our greatest hope is that Jesus is coming again at the Resurrection. Because He was raised from the dead we too will be resurrected either in death or at the time of the Rapture. This sermon follows Mary Magdalene’s journey from sorrow to hope when she encounters the risen Lord Jesus Christ. Mary initially sees only an empty tomb, blinded by grief and unable to recognize Christ’s victory. The empty tomb, framed by two angels, is presented as the fulfillment

The Full Mosaic of the Messiah

These reflections develop on my message on May 31 based on Isaiah’s detailed foretelling about Jesus seven hundred years before His incarnation. The details include his physical appearance, the purpose of his human ministry, and the severity of his punishment, agony, and suffering. It confirms that Jesus always was, even before creation, before the Gospel recordings, and always will be into eternity.                     . Malcolm Ross    

Anniversary Sunday Message

It is estimated that in the year 1900 25% of Canadians were born-again believers, meaning they had placed their faith in Jesus as their personal saviour. In Kenya that same year only 5% professed faith in Jesus. Today 2026 less than 5% of Canadians claim to be born-again believers while in Kenya 25% profess faith in Jesus as Saviour. A preacher underlined the danger of 100 years. He listed a number of schools, colleges, universities and church denomination that started out with

The Good Shepherd

(This is a precis of John’s message from Sunday June 28) John 10   Let’s focus on this metaphor today, first on God’s sheep and then on Jesus the Good Shepherd. The sheep are referenced in a sheepfold, they gather and stay together. Sheep hear the shepherd’s voice; they listen and follow it. Sheep discern other voices and will not follow the direction of a stranger. Sheep know the shepherd and maintain a strong relationship with their shepherd. So too we should gather regularly

Jesus’ Relationship With His Heavenly Father

  (A brief summary of Malcolm’s message) Jesus’ Submission to the Father’s will: (John 1:10-12) Our relationship with our earthly father may not be a healthy one; if so we need to let God transform our hearts. Jesus’ Obedience to His Father’s Word: (John 8:28-29, John 11:41-42) Jesus said yes to an impossible journey. He prayed, he listened for his father’s voice.  We too have to submit to what God wants us to do, with prayer, daily communication with God. God can do the impossible;
