The God Who Works Miracles
What are miracles? Why does God do them? In essence, miracles are forms of revelation that reveal God and increase our faith in him.
On Head Coverings
What was the practice of head coverings for women? Why was it practiced and is it still relevant for us today? This text produces many questions in our minds and in this sermon, we explore these questions and more. We’ll see that the principles are still applicable today in our generation.
The God Who Upholds (part 2)
Just how in control is God? How does he govern this universe? Does he allow secondary causes (laws of nature) run their course or is he more involved? What we see is that God unholds, governs, and sustains every single particle in his universe for his own glory. Not only does he govern every particle, he directs and upholds every single individual. This is our God!
How Can We Trust God?
In times of suffering, pain and difficulty we can be tempted to sin. We can be tempted to deny God, to distort the truth of God, or to doubt his word and promises. How do we fight against these temptations and trust through times of great adversity? In this sermon, we look at three key attributes of God that are going to kindle a fire of trust in our hearts, give us strength and carry us through the darkness.
I Am the Resurrection
Jesus demonstrated that he has power over death and has life in himself. The enemy of death is no match for the authority of Christ. Death is something that we all must face. Some sooner, others later. In fact, a man who sat listening to this sermon was killed in a car accident later the same day. Turn to Christ to live. Believe in him. He has demonstrated his power in the raising of Lazarus and in his own public…
Jesus, Apostle and Priest
Willem Van de Leur preaches on Good Friday about Jesus who is apostle and priest.
Do All to the Glory of God
With all the discussions about rights, what about our responsibility to glorify God? What we see from this text is that everything we do is to be done for the glory of God. That is, our actions are to serve others, further the gospel, and honor our Lord. This is a mandate for every single believer.

Learning from the Past
If we fail to take the lessons from the past and learn from them, we’ll be prone to repeat the same mistakes. In this passage, failing to learn from the past could mean facing God’s eternal judgment. In a stern warning and urging to live the Christian life like an Olympic athlete, this passage is a call for us to flee from the false worship and religions of our day and to pursue the heavenly prize of the glory of…

Rights and the Gospel
As Paul discusses giving up rights for the sake of Christian brethren, he looks at his own example when it comes to the gospel. As a man who’s been transformed by the grace of God he gives up his rights or what he could rightful demand or claim so that the gospel can go forth unhindered. We look at this important text together and then draw 7 principles that apply to our own evangelism.
