New Beginnings Series

Contributed by Tim Zoltowski on Jan 2, 2016

We are often disappointed with new beginnings, especially with our resolutions to change in the coming year. The reason might be that we are looking to change the wrong things. We look at circumstances instead of looking at who we are within.

Happy New Year! Some have heard me say before that this is my favorite time of year. It is … it feels sorta like we can start over … doesn’t it? In some ways we feel like we are starting fresh and because of this everything is possible. We haven’t done anything or failed ...read more

Ministry Of Reconciliation Series

Contributed by Tim Zoltowski on Jan 11, 2016

When we become a new creation in Christ, we become ministers of reconciliation having been given the message of reconciliation as if God is making his plea through us: Be ye reconciled to God. We are therefore, ambassadors for Christ.

Let's talk about New Beginnings and especially the new beginning in our life born again, saved by the Grace of God. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! Now we see that we are a new creation. We might be called by the same name, we might ...read more

The Ministry Of Reconciliation: Your Life Mission Defined

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 23, 2021

What is given to us, as regenerate believers is what the word of God calls "the ministry of reconciliation." This is a mission set to consume our lives. We must do it, because the word of God says "It's as if God were making his appeal through us."

The word of God says, 2nd Corinthians 5:11-21 (NIV) "Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience. 12 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an ...read more

In The Mean Time...

Contributed by John Newton on Jan 15, 2022

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

I Met Him And He Gave Me A New Heart Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 11, 2021

Saul’s conversion into Paul is an example of the fact that no one is too far from God or too far beyond God’s reach or God’s power to save, to transform a person, and give them a new heart … a heart for Him alone.

Today, doctors can literally give you a new heart … well, new to you at least. It once belonged to someone else. Someday medical science may be able to give us a mechanical heart … but I truly believe that only God can give you a change of heart. When I say that, I’m not talking about this ...read more

Christ, Our Passover

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Apr 19, 2021

The words of the Lord to Israel concerning the Passover should be precious to us, “When I see the blood, I will pass over you.” We are all offered the gift of being “passed over” – salvation through faith in the shed blood of Jesus, our Passover Lamb.

1 Corinthians 5:7 - Therefore purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new lump, since you truly are unleavened. For indeed Christ, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. Paul writes this letter to the Corinthians believers who were most likely familiar with the Exodus event of the Passover To ...read more

We Are A New Creation Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on May 11, 2020

Just who are we in Christ? Beginning in this sermon series, I beginning using the Christian Standard Bible as a more easier to unstandstand translation over the New King James Version I had been using for many years.

Today we start a new sermon series: “Who we are in Christ.” A favorite phrase of Paul is the term “in Christ.” Paul’s use of the phrase is a whole study by itself. Paul, for the most part was the only one to use this phrase. The NT in the CSB, the term “in Christ” can be found 90 times in 88 ...read more
