    As men of Christ we are to live moral and virtuous lives based on Scriptural principles and to be a light of encouragement. And The result will not only be the renewal of our own lives; It will bring renewal to our families, to our churches, to our community and ultimately to our world.

    Someone noticed ... that the word "father" appears in the dictionary ... just before the word ... "fatigued" ...and just after the word ... "fathead." So, ... to all of us fatigued, ... fathead fathers, ......Happy Father's Day! (Long Pause) Today is ...read more

    Because of Easter we have a new focus in our lives, something to live for. That focus is shaped by our worldview, witness and works.

    EASTER – A NEW FOCUS When Cynthia Manley realized she had only twenty minutes left to live, she figured the best thing she could do with the time she had left was to send text messages to her two daughters. Her one daughter, Alanna, was a student at Seattle University. She texted, “Stay strong and ...read more

    Beloved you are God's. Twice His. First, you are His because He created you. He made you. And second, you are His because He bought you.

    Read Ephesians 1:3-14 (Text of the day). This story is reported as true ... though true or a parable ... it speaks to the importance ... of the One ... of one who can save. It was almost 1:00 in the morning... when the phone rang. Dr. Leo Winters, ...a highly acclaimed surgeon... was abruptly ...read more

    To Infinity And Beyond!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 14, 2022
     | 2,191 views

    Though all associated with this life is impermanent, the future for the child of God is bright with hope. Christ has redeemed us by His death and resurrection. Now, through faith in Him, we anticipate a permanent home in Heaven.

    “We know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, if indeed by putting it on we may not be found naked. For while we are still in ...read more

    God has promised us a new creation and empowers us to live it in the here and now, as it has already been purchased for us through Jesus’ death on the cross.

    Years ago (in fact it was the first summer after we were married), Karen and I decided that we would spend our summer vacation visiting her relatives and my birthplace here in Nova Scotia. We didn’t have a large salary between us, and we were young and adventuresome, so we decided that it would be ...read more

    There's No Place Like Home Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 16, 2022
     | 5,252 views

    It is the cross and the promise of a life after this one that makes this world, with all its ups and down, with all its sorrow, with all its conflicts and challenges all that much more bearable when we know that all of this is just temporary.

    “There’s no place like home.” Who said it? Right … Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Why is that line so iconic? As soon as you hear it, you see Dorothy … aka Judy Garland … holding Toto, clicking the heels of her ruby red slippers three times, and uttering the words … “There’s no place like ...read more

    Funeral Sermon: Many people have a longing inside and life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home. Our true home is in heaven; but until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. He is also our guide leading us home.

    I was praying about what I should share today, and I was searching for something that would address a wide range of needs, for those who are Christians and those who aren’t; and the Lord led me to 2 Corinthians chapter 5. Let me assure you that Marshall was a Christian. He had a personal ...read more

    For many people, life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home; but our true home is in heaven. Until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. This is the expanded version of a funeral sermon I did called "Looking for Home."

    Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more

    All Glory And Honor To The Son Of God

    Jesus' Divinity was shown in the healing of a man on the Sabbath Day (John 5:16) and declaring Himself equal with God (John 5:17-18). The religious authorities sought to kill Him yet should have honored Him. Their failure to do so condemned them. Don't make that mistake.

    The Scriptures tell of the authority and power the Lord Jesus has over His creation and the affairs of humanity. The four gospels present what Jesus said and did to demonstrate to those who were willing to truly hear and see that He was the fulfillment of prophecy and the One who was the ...read more

    The caterpillar has the potential to become a butterfly. But it must go through changes. Where are you in your walk with God?

    In one of the December issues of People Magazine, there was an article about Christina Onassis.

    The article stated, “I'm sure we all felt bad over the tragic death of Christina Onassis at the age of 38…” Her stepsister Henrietta Gelber commented: "She lacked a sense of achievement; what she was striving for was just to be a normal human being with normal family relationships, which ...read more

     | 2,372 views

    Jesus’ teaching and ministry was a way of reframing the use of Scripture. The Scribes had made notes that were superimposed on Scripture. Jesus holds before us a new way of living life. One based on mercy, grace, and love. Jesus modeled the heart and intent of God.

    As a child we would attempt to salvage anything and everything. The house I remember from early childhood was an interesting building.
