    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 1, 2024
     | 611 views

    We sing O Little Town of Bethlehem, but it seems like a strange choice for Mary and Joseph to travel 120 km when Mary was "Great with Child". This message seeks to answer some of the questions

    O Little Town of Bethlehem, So you probably know the story, the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her the exciting news, she’s going to be a mom, even though she is still a virgin, they work out the details but then there is the entire process of telling her parents and her fiancé, in ...read more

    A Return To Civility: 10 Don't Covet Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Aug 31, 2024
     | 311 views

    We don't hear the word covet a lot this days, but being greedy is pretty close. This message looks at why we shouldn't be greedy.

    A Sunday school teacher was asking her class if anyone knew what the Tenth Commandment was, to which a little boy responded, “You must not take the covers off your neighbour’s wife.” Pretty close. Well, here we are—the last week of our series, A Return to Civility. When we started the series in ...read more

    A Return To Civility: 9 Do Not Lie Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Aug 24, 2024
     | 260 views

    lies, distortion, exaggeration. They are all they same. This message looks at why we lie and the damage those lies can cause to others and to us.

    I think that if we were honest today, we’d all agree that there is a feeling of violation that happens when we feel that we have been deceived. Most relationships can take almost anything except deceit. It was Friedrich Nietzsche who said, “I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset ...read more

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Aug 3, 2024
     | 269 views

    When we are little our parents are like God to us, it's no wonder this is the pivotal command between our relationship with God and our relationship with others.

    Civility 5 A little change in direction here. We started this series on the Ten Commandments, back in June and after the first four commandments, there’s about to be an abrupt turn. Last week, knowing that this week was going to be one of our three family Sundays this summer, I spoke on ...read more

     | 378 views

    This message looks at the 6th commandment, Do not Murder. It seems like an easy one to keep, but what happens when we broaden it out?

    A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to "honour thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat, ...read more

    A Return To Civility: 4 Keep The Sabbath Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 20, 2024
     | 452 views

    In this crazy world, where it's rush, rush, rush, the idea of a day set apart for rest and reflection seems almost impossible. But, is it?

    What a crazy world we live in today. Do you ever feel like the Rabbit in “Alice in Wonderland”? You know the one, he’s always rushing this way and that looking at his watch and muttering, “I’m late, I’m late”. It seems that every hour of every day is filled to the limit with things that need ...read more

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 14, 2024
     | 376 views

    In today's world God's name is used as a curse and an exclamation point, this message looks at how we are to use it and not use it.

    Recently I was reading an article written by a friend of mine, Mike McNeil. Mike and I are from the same home church, and he taught at Kingswood University for forty years before taking a teaching position with Kings Church in Saint John. Mike writes a column called Soul Apologetics, and this week ...read more

    A Return To Civility: 2 Creat No Idols Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jul 6, 2024
     | 438 views

    This message focus on the second commandment as we look at the loss of a mutual morality in today's society.

    A couple of weeks ago we began our series “A Return to Civility” and I mentioned how earlier this year I had speculated on what I saw as a loss of civility in our society. We’ve come to a place where we can no longer agree to disagree, and we’ve stopped treating one another with respect, at least ...read more

    A Return To Civility: Intro Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 23, 2024
     | 947 views

    I noticed that as a society we've seemed to have lost our Civility, we no longer show one another respect. Could that be because we've lost our common morality? This is a new look at the 10 Commandments

    Earlier this year I was struck by how uncivil our society has become. I can’t remember if it was a personal encounter with someone or something I saw on the news or read on social media. But I do remember thinking: Why can’t we just be civil to each other, what can’t we just be nice? It seems that ...read more

    Finding Wisdom For Your Reconstruction

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 25, 2024
     | 547 views

    We need wisdom to reconstruct our faith, this message helps us to discover how do we find the wisdom we need.

    If you’ve been with us since the beginning of April, our theme has been Reconstruction, and we’ve been looking at ways to strengthen our faith, and possibly reconstruct our faith, if we’ve been struggling with what we believe and why we believe it.

    Reconstructing Our Faith In The Bible.

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 4, 2024
     | 552 views

    Sometimes, in talking to someone who has walked away from their faith and the church, they will say that their process of deconstruction began when they began to question the bible. This message looks at some ways to avoid that.

    This might make you think less of me, but sometimes I google my name. I know, I’m so vain. There is a little bit of truth in that, but it’s also to keep an eye on who’s preaching the messages that I post online and also to track where my books are being mentioned. And yes, I am a little vain; the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 465 views

    The entire Easter Story hinged on the word but, and it started with Good Friday

    Choices were made. That is the reality of life; choices are made. Good choices, bad choices and indifferent choices, but life is determined by the choices we make. And often, we don’t understand the consequences that might come as a result of the choices we make. We are simply living in the moment ...read more

    Taking Christ Out Of Christmas

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 2, 2023
     | 1,649 views

    If Christmas has become a "cultural" holiday, This message looks at what happens when we try and take out all of the religious elements.

    Have you noticed that every year, people seem more intent on secularizing Christmas? They wish you a “Happy Holiday” or “Seasons Greetings” and then have presentations at school that make no mention of the Manger or the Wise Men, let alone the Christ Child. Now, I may be a little overly sensitive, ...read more

    We are told that we are given everything we need to lead a godly life, but what does that mean?

    Therefore 2 Peter 1 When I was at university, one of the courses I had to take was homiletics, which is simply defined as the art of preaching or writing sermons. The goal of the class was to teach us to do both things: how to write sermons and how to preach sermons. My professor was a former ...read more

    As we continue our therefore series, we take a look at Hebrews 12, and how we are the run our race.

    Part of my misspent youth was spent hanging around Racehorses and those who bet on horse races. I’ve mentioned before that my sister and I both had horses when we were teenagers, and when we lived in Hammond River, just outside of Saint John, New Brunswick, we boarded them at a farm that provided ...read more
