Worship (A Sermon: 1 Kings 8)
1 KINGS 8:22-24; 27-30THE KING’S PRAYER TO THE GREAT GODON A GREAT DAY It’s a remark that I have been hearing for years from parents of adult children. They sometimes wonder where they went wrong. They go to spend a weekend with their children and they end up being the only ones attending church. They […]
Prophets Vs. Pharisees
Some notes of a sermon I preached in my home church (Syndal Baptist, Melbourne, Australia) last Sunday. It’s being sent to those on our list. Why not join us? Reading: Matthew 12: 1-21 Being an itinerant (‘hit-run’) preacher has some advantages. I remember a Sunday evening service in a conservative church in rural Victoria, Australia. […]
Christianity: The Search
Here’s my daughter Lindy’s first sermon (she’s 22), preached recently at Heathmont Baptist Church, Victoria, Australia… (This week she’s leading a mission-trip with 15 others to Hong Kong, China, India and Thailand for three months). She’s happy to share this with you, and for you to give it away to others… Shalom! Rowland Croucher ‘THE […]
In 1997 Expect Trouble (A New Year Sermon)
The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; he is their refuge in the time of trouble. Psalm 37:39. As servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities. 2 Corinthians 6:4. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering […]
Christmas
THE BIG QUESTIONS… Text: Philippians 2:1-11 In a cartoon, a weary mother has been Christmas shopping. She rests with her little son on a seat in the middle of a very busy department store. He’s asking ‘what’s it all about?’ questions, and she answers: ‘No one is quite sure how Christmas got to be like […]

Saul’s Conversion
ACTS 9:1-22 It’s there for you to read if you want to take a little trip to England to visit a cemetery. The burial ground in question is in Olney, England. The grave stone reads this way: Here lies John Newton, Clerk, a libertine and former slave trader, was by the rich mercy of our […]
I Cor. 13:1-13 — The Glory Of Christian Love
You can scarcely pick up your TV remote control these days without running into some courtroom scene. Investigators still haven’t decided whom to charge in the murder of a 6-year-old Colorado girl. Turn the newspaper page and you’ll read another story about some Gov’t official being investigated or indicted for improper conduct while in office. […]

The Trinity
Here’s a thoughtful approach to the doctrine of the Trinity (from Mark Drake on the newsgroup bit.listserv.christia)… Why I believe in the Trinity I’ve stayed out of this trinity discussion so far, but mostly because I felt that many of the posts had little content, and I didn’t want to contribute in the same fashion.
