This Changes Everything: The Second Advent Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Nov 27, 2022

We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that

“I love it when a plan comes together.” Those of you who are older than dirt probably remember this phrase being used by Hannibal Smith in the A-Team. It was first used in the pilot of the show on January 23, 1983. That will be forty years ago in two months. Forty years before that Canada was in ...read more

Reasoning In Righteousness

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 1, 2022

The Lord Jesus told His followers to go out and preach the Gospel to every living creature (Mark 16:15). That means using of Scripture, thought, reason, and logic under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to show people the need to turn to Christ for salvation.

In today's butchery of the English language where emojis are used more than words to share information and ideas, I think that it is time for all of us to get off the machines for a few moments and learn something from the great men of God whose counsel and wisdom have been forgotten. We ...read more

The Night Jesus Was Born

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 14, 2022

This message will answer the following questions: Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? What did the shepherds do after they left Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus? What did Mary do? What other events might Mary have pondered in her heart?

Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? (Luke 2:8-16) God chose to tell His good news to the lowly. He sent His angels with the message to shepherds, who were watching their sheep in the fields that night. An angel said, "A Savior, who is Christ the Lord, has been born today in ...read more

Waiting For Jesus

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 1, 2023

Don’t wait for angels while waiting for Jesus to return. Be ready for Jesus by being someone’s angel.

A couple of decades ago there was a really popular television show called Touched by an Angel. How many of you used to watch it? It was pretty good, wasn’t it? It was optimistic and uplifting without being overly sugary or sentimental. So think back. Wouldn’t it be great if, just when you most ...read more

Sermon On A Trip Home

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 29, 2023

The Ascension of Jesus has been defined as the Christian belief, reflected in the major Christian creeds and confessional statements, that Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after His resurrection, where He was glorified, exalted as Lord and Christ, sitting at the right hand of God.

Mohadesa Najumi, a female British writer once remarked: “Life is a useless passion, an exciting journey of a mammal in survival mode. Each day is a miracle, a blessing unexplored and the more you immerse yourself in light, the less you will feel the darkness. There is more to life than nothingness. ...read more

How Christians Must Understand The Israel And Hamas Situation Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2023

The civilised nations are appalled at the horrible events in Israel in recent days, but Israel is the focus of God’s plans and God’s prophetic time clock. We look at how we as Christians can understand these events and what lies in the very near future for Israel and the Church.

HOW CHRISTIANS MUST UNDERSTAND THE ISRAEL AND HAMAS SITUATION One would have to be deaf and blind not to realise all the news on the terror situation in Israel. It is not my desire to recount the things that have happened, but it is my concern and desire to see all this from the Christian point ...read more

The End Times Series

Contributed by Dr. Lewis W. Gregory on Nov 2, 2023

Someone asked: “What’s all the fuss? Why are some Christians giving so much attention to the end times? There are so many different theories. Everyone thinks his or her theory is right. Where did these theories come from? It is all very confusing.

Depending on what you’ve heard, it certainly can be confusing. However, it should give us great comfort to know that God has a plan for our world, and it is all coming together according to His Divine purpose. Almighty God, who knows the end from the beginning, will make sure that everything turns ...read more

A Time To Wait, A Time Not To Wait Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 4, 2022

The believers were instructed to wait in Jerusalem. They were not ready, but why not? They were absolutely convinced of the resurrection, but still not ready to launch out and take the Gospel to a lost and dying world. Wait for the power of the Holy Spirit.

We gain a lot by studying the book of Acts. We learn about how the church grew in its infancy stage. Now over twenty percent of the world’s population claim to be true disciples of Jesus. But we are starting here with one hundred and twenty loyal believers huddled together in one room. It helps us ...read more

Unveiling Divine Promises SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 11, 2023

Acts 1 reveals three divine promises that surpass any other promise in Scripture. Do you know what these promises are? And do you understand their significance to us?

Please stand with me as we sing the hymn "Standing on the Promises." Sing along with me: "Standing on the promises that cannot fail When doubts and fears assail, By the living Word of God, I shall prevail Standing on the promises of God." As humans, we often struggle to keep our promises. We ...read more

Solemnity Of The Ascension Of The Lord And Mother's Day

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Apr 11, 2024

We are chasing a sense of enoughness. But it remains ever out of reach, and the effort and anxiety are burning us out. American "performancism."

Martha Campbell said of flunking her final exams and the resulting report card, and what her parents did: "I got a no TV for a week in math, a no dessert for a month in history, and a just wait 'til your father gets home in social studies." My seminary Bible teacher said, “The ...read more
