    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 10, 2025
     | 57 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.

    This message was a part of a stewardship series that looked the cost and sacrifices associated with Solomon's Temple.

    A Heart for His Building He walked across the dusty, stony ground, kicked a rock and bent and drew in the dirt.

    Your Own Pillar Of Fire

     | 410 views

    Sometimes we wish we had a pillar of fire to guide us through the wilderness. This message looks at the Wesleyan Quadrilateral as one suggestion.

    It was 1987, I was pastoring in Truro, and co-chairing a young adult’s event just outside of Washington, DC.

    based on 1 rating
     | 597 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
     | 455 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

     | 633 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

    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
