Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 16, 2019

Christ is the King of Glory. He is the One who ascends into the Presence of the Lord. Only He has perfectly fulfilled the Law in perfect righteousness. Christ, who went to the cross and defeated our two greatest enemies: Sin and death!

It’s funny how things go sometimes. A couple of years ago I wouldn’t have started out preaching by making a political disclaimer but, given what’s going on today with the government shut down and caravans, I feel the need to be perfectly clear that what I am about to say is not political in any ...read more

Be In The Know (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 28, 2019

2 Peter 1:3 says that God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him. Knowledge is key. Even though knowing is not enough, we must also be doers, we can't minimize the importance of knowing the Lord and his ways.

BE IN THE KNOW Last week, in my sermon on having a fresh restart, I talked about being refreshed. I went to 2nd Pet. 1:3-13 and we did some audience participation and highlighted all the refreshing things in that passage. Peter said God's power has given us everything we need for life and ...read more

Balancing The Books

Contributed by John Hamby on Apr 2, 2019

Where is God’s justice and judgement? Why does God delay His judgment? Why doesn’t He vindicate His people now? Is He unable to, or does He not care? Some had seized on the ‘delay’ in the appearance of God’s judgment as an excuse to ignore or reject the idea of God’s judgment.

Procuring God’s Peace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 10, 2018

This sermon is part of our spiritual first aid series and it looks at how we go about procuring God's peace for our lives. We look at having peace with God and the peace of God, and how we have peace through God's word and forgiveness.

Spiritual First Aid Procuring God’s Peace Before I begin, let me say that God considers peace so important that not only did He give it as a title to His Son, Jesus, calling Him the Prince of Peace, but He also made it part of two life changing teachings. The Apostle Paul lists out peace as one ...read more

Setting A Good Example (Part Two) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 1, 2018

Paul was a good example. Paul said in 1st Cor. 11:1, "Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ." How did Paul set a good example?

We need to set a good example for the lost to see and be drawn to and for the church to see and want to follow suit. Recap: Jesus was a good example of humility and service.

Living Under Judgement And Loving It.

Contributed by Cameron Conway on Oct 3, 2018

God is not just storing up all of His judgments for the last day like some vindictive squirrel, but He is watching and judging the world, the church and ourselves constantly.

At one point or another you’ve probably heard a Christian talk about God’s judgment falling on some person, place, organization, or even on yourself. Biblically it is the great equalizer that reminds us that one day we are all to stand before God for our celestial hearing (Revelation 20:11-15) ...read more

The Golden Rule

Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 19, 2018

"Love" should be more than just a buzzword for Christians. God showed his love for us when we were still sinners. Likewise, we should love our friends and our enemies alike and show it by treating them the way we want to be treated.
