At the Tower of Babel, over 4,000 years ago, God decided to confound the language in order to restrict the ambition of man at that time. This sermon looks briefly at several areas – knowledge with particular reference to the internet, technology, cloning, outer space, sexual behaviour and mind pollution, but there are many other areas that could fall into the same categories – areas where we are reaching the point – if we haven’t already done so – where nothing shall be restained from them. That was a telling phrase over 4,000 years ago and God took action. 4,000 years later, we are in the same position again where “Nothing Shall Be Restrained From Them.” God will again take action – this time sending Jesus Christ back to this earth.

The Church Does Not Have Perfect People
This sermon looks at some of the problems in the early Corinthian church as well as problems experienced more recently, and what our response should be particularly with the Passover coming up in the future.
The first letter to the Corinthians, as well as other parts of the New Testament, describe all sorts of problems that were extant in the church at that time. Some of these things seemed to be consuming member’s lives to the point where they were focused on themselves and on the concerns of their immediate physical world, losing their focus on God, His Commandments and His purpose for their lives. We face the same challenges today. Unless we take the time to draw close – and stay close to God – and determine to live by His instructions – we too can lose our focus with all the disastrous consequences that that can have. We need to ensure that our focus is where it should be, and the Passover season is the time to make any vital course corrections that may be necessary.
Pride Precedes Punishment
Pride seems to be commonplace these days. But why is God so displeased with pride? Why is it sometimes so difficult to detect pride in our lives, and to overcome pride? Why is it absolutely essential that we get rid of it? Why will we encounter godly correction if we are proud? Who was the first being allowing pride to overtake him? Against whom is pride directed? And what is the godly characteristic with which we must replace pride?

The Rod and Staff
Psalm 23 refers to God’s Rod and Staff. Were these actual physical items, or merely figurative? What other physical items in the Bible also possessed Miraculous or Holy properties? What did they mean for our ancestors and what significance do they hold for us today?
Nothing Will Be Impossible For Them
The accomplishments of modern science have brought into focus nightmare scenarios that were unthinkable in earlier times. The Bible prophesied that in these last days, technological knowledge would increase–but not necessarily for the good of mankind. The question whether God approves or disapproves of certain scientific “progress” rarely enters the mind of man.

To Tame The Tongue
What should we do when we are in a situation with somebody, where what we say, how we say it and how we act can either determine a positive or negative outcome? Since we need to focus on a positive outcome, there are several principles that can be applied to do just that, so we can be a shining example to those we converse with.
There Is Hope!
The Bible offers all of mankind the only true future–the only real hope that can have expectation of attainment. However, the vast majority live their lives apart from God with only a hope in this life. The Gospel reveals hope for eternal life in the glory of the Family of God for those who turn to God and embrace the future salvation He promises.
Three Times Seven
In the book of John, Christ identified Himself seven times as the God of the Old Testament, by using the words, “I am,” in combination with certain godly characteristics. The book of John also records seven miracles performed by Christ prior to His death, and the four gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John have preserved Christ’s seven last sayings on the cross. What do all these passages mean for us today?
