Sermon
by Jonathan Pippy
Did Christ Fulfil Matt 5:17
given Peterborough Canada 21 Nov 2009
Christianity found in the world is radically different from the Truth found within scripture. Nowhere is this more true, than the approach toward God's Law. The world's view is that it was nailed to the cross. But the scriptural Truth reveals a very different picture - making the entirety of God's Spiritual Law - including all ten of the 10 commandments - even more binding than ever before.  (10.0 Mb)

Wise as Serpents, Harmless as Doves
given Wales UK 7 Nov 2009
Being "wise as serpents, harmless as doves" (Matt 10:16) is a passage of scripture quoted by the world to indicate using an approach which is both canny and trusting. But the passage it comes from has far more to tell us. This sermon asks: What is the context? When should it be applied? Who is it specifically about? How should we apply the instruction? and Where in scripture, can we see examples? (12.0 Mb)

Embracing The Promises
given Wales UK 24 Oct 2009

“Just what is an APOSTLE?”
Just what is an Apostle?

Today we find the Church of God in a “wilderness of religious confusion!”

The confusion is not merely around the Church – within the religions of the world outside – but WITHIN the very heart of The True Church itself!
