    Be Doers Not Just Hearers Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 16, 2026
     | 151 views

    This message looks at some of Jame's practical advice for the early church and individual beleivers.

    The book of James is one of my favourite books in the Bible. It’s so practical for us as believers today, and James doesn’t pull any punches as he deals with issues from two thousand years ago that are very similar to what we as believers have to deal with today. Now, not everyone shares my ...read more

    Faith In The Fire Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 2, 2026
     | 198 views

    This is the introduction to our series on the book of James, and includes instruction on how to react when life is hard, which is always.

    Have you ever gotten a phone call or a text from someone who just identifies themselves by their first name?  Hi, It’s Matt! And you are thinking: which Matt?  Or maybe you immediately go to that Matt. There was a time in my life when I had a plethora of Mikes in my immediate ...read more

    The Fragrance And The Silver

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 27, 2026
     | 241 views

    In these verses, we see the contrast between Mary's gift and Judas' betrayal.

    What an incredible turn of events. These verses sit between Palm Sunday, or the Triumphant Entry, which is celebrated this week, and the events of Good Friday, which we will be recognizing in just a few days. And we see here an occasion of worship and an occasion of betrayal. I’m not sure how ...read more

    Being Human From The Beginning Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 3, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 509 views

    This is the intro to our series, "What it Mean's to be Human". We go back to the beginning to see why we were created.

    If you are going to start a sermon series on being human, then it would be best to start at the beginning. And the first words of the Bible are found in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God . . . And that’s where I want to begin this morning. In the beginning. With God. Now, I know that not everyone ...read more

     | 409 views

    This was the conclusion of our series, and it was our Christmas Eve Service

    As she made her way along the road, she wondered about the sense of it all. Although she had agreed she still couldn’t understand why. She lived in a poor country that was occupied by a foreign army. Violence was never far away and often during the night you would hear soldiers entering the home ...read more

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 20, 2025
     | 389 views

    Throughout the New Testament, we are told how much we are loved by Jesus, it was his gift of Love that led to the first Christmas

    The words that were just read, came from the prayer of Jesus, in the garden just before he was betrayed by Judas and arrested by the temple guards. And you’re thinking, that’s a weird advent reading. Maybe, or maybe not. This Advent season your preaching team has been focusing on Gifts from the ...read more

    When Jesus prayed in the garden, he was praying for the Joy he had given at the first Christmas

    The Gift Of Hope Series

     | 330 views

    On the shortest day of the year, Jesus offers us the gift of Hope

    How often have you heard the phrase or description “It’s the most wonderful time of the year”? But what if it’s not? What if Christmas doesn’t bring alive warm happy memories for you? What happens when there is an empty chair at the table and Christmas becomes a reminder of a lost loved one or ...read more

    The Challenge And The Call Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Nov 1, 2025
     | 554 views

    The Rich Young Ruler is the only person we see in the New Testament who was invited to follow Jesus who walked away. This message takes a deeper dive into the story of the Rich Young Ruler

    I remember when I used to answer every call that came in on our telephone with a sense of excitement and anticipation. In the days before caller ID, spam calls, and scam offers, answering the phone was always a bit of a mystery. You never knew who might be calling. And of course, you always hoped ...read more

    A Call To The Market Place Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Sep 27, 2025
     | 573 views

    When we think of a call, we often think of a full-time vocation. This message looks at what it means to be called to the Marketplace.

    When you hear that someone has been called to something or has answered a call on their life, who do you think of? A preacher? A missionary? Maybe a doctor, a nurse or a teacher. There seem to be certain professions that we feel particular folks are called to. For many people, a call means that ...read more

    Martha's Lament

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Sep 13, 2025
     | 669 views

    Martha felt free to speak the words of disappointment and anger that we sometimes feel but are hesitant to speak. This message examines Martha's words as a model for biblical lament.

    She was frustrated, disappointed and angry. And she wasn’t holding it back. Her brother had been sick, and as his condition continued to deteriorate, Martha and her sister Mary had sent a message to their friend Jesus. In a situation, which seemed to have no hope, Jesus provided hope. They had ...read more

    A Tale From The Crypt Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 19, 2025
     | 783 views

    When Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb, he wasn't just offering him life, he was giving him freedom.

    It was so dark, and so cold. He had no idea where he was, how long he had been there or what he was supposed to be doing. The last thing he remembered was being at home in bed. He had been sick; nobody knew what to do or even what was wrong. The doctors had come and gone leaving behind potions and ...read more

    Let Go Of Your Loaves Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 19, 2025
     | 1,031 views

    It's easy to make the story of the loaves and fishes just about money, but the reality is that it is a story of surrender.

    Let Go of Your Loaves It was a beautiful day. Jesus had crossed over the sea of Galilee and the crowd discovering where he was going followed on foot, covering a distance of approximately 15 kilometres and Luke tells us in chapter 9:10 that they finally caught up with him in Bethsaida. And it was ...read more

    Colossians: Household Rules Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 21, 2025
     | 692 views

    This passage contains the dreaded "S" word, submit. But what did that mean 2000 years ago in Colossa and what does it mean for us today.

    It was a struggle; I was thinking that this week I would preach from Colossians 4:5–6 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. I thought that I would ...read more

    The Choices We Make Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 7, 2025
     | 1,266 views

    In Colossians chapter 3, Paul tells us that there isn't a multitude of choices to be made, there are only two. Will your take off the old and put on the new. Or won't you

    Colossians Your Choice I have a confession to make. I have way too many shirts. I don’t know what it is, but I have a closet full of shirts. Now before you judge me about being fiscally irresponsible, I’m also a Frenchie’s shopper. For years, when I was at my heaviest, I found it difficult to find ...read more
