This sermon examines the status of the modern-day Christian, compared with Biblical characters. We often find ourselves thinking that we fall short of the standards set by all of those greats of the past. But this is not true. Even the humblest amongst us can shine like stars in the heavens. This sermon was delivered in the early 1990’s – and I feel I made some errors. ERRORS: at 5:30 – my concept of Jonah has changed. At 8:30 I state that Jonah should have stayed in Ninevah – I am certain that he did. See: https://reneweddayafterday.home.blog/… And for a you-tube https://reneweddayafterday.home.blog/… ERROR at 12:55 onwards. I refer to Hazael and Naaman as Assyrians, when they were in fact, Syrians. Email at john_carelinks@live.com
sermon
Deborah & Barak
Deborah and Barak; two of the greatest heroes of the Old Testament. They were lauded in David’s Psalm and Barak is listed in the faithful of Hebrews 11. But why did God choose to perform His great act of salvation through two women, Deborah and Jael? How did two women foreshadow the greater salvation through Jesus Christ?
Christian Romance
We all need romance in our lives. We crowd into movie cinemas or into theatres to escape the world we live in. We immerse ourselves in books or binge on TV series. We all seek escape or romance. The greatest romance ever offered came from God. We are caught in a world of sin and earth, but we are offered the greats escape of all: eternity with our Lord.
