  • A Call To The Market Place Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Sep 27, 2025
     | 162 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

     | 216 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.

In a situation, which seemed to have no hope, Jesus provided hope. They had ...read more

     | 331 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
     | 472 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
     | 297 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

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 7, 2025
     | 738 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

  • To Be Or Not To Be Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 24, 2025
     | 418 views

    Paul tells the Colossians they were dead. But what did he mean by dead? And how do we know if we are spiritually dead?

    The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes. That, of course, was from the Merchant of Venice, which I studied in grade 11. Do they still teach Shakespear in High ...read more

  • Colossians The Promise Of Baptism Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 10, 2025
     | 386 views

    As Paul takes the Colossians back to the elementary principles of their faith, he takes time to remind them of when and why they were baptized.

    Baptism. Before I was baptized, I never really thought about baptism. My family was nominally Baptist, that is, as I’ve explained before, the local Baptist church was the church we didn’t go to when we didn’t go to church. So, when we lived in Lower Lincoln, outside of Fredericton, we didn’t go ...read more

    The Christians in Colosse had lost their way, and the purpose of Colossians was to show them the way back.
