  • What The Hell Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 31, 2016
     | 6,309 views

    This sermon looks at the question: How can a loving God send people to hell?

    Long before I knew about God’s grace I knew about Gods’ wrath. Long before I had encountered a loving God I knew about the fires of hell. Some of those images came from culture and some came from art. All in all I think I prefer Larson to Michelangelo, but I’m that kind of ...read more

    We all want our churches to grow, but do we understand the growing pains that go along with the process?

    The Pain of Growth You ever have growing pains? If you didn’t you probably know someone who did, maybe your own kids. You know when you were around 8 or 9 you’d wake up with your legs aching. Growing pains are kind of a generic diagnosis that covers a variety of aches and pains ...read more

     | 6,580 views

    Grace, something we talk about and preach about, but where do we get this theology of Grace?

    For most of us, sometime over the next two days we will celebrate the Feast of the Dead Bird, better known by many as Thanksgiving Dinner. And as a part of that tradition at some point before we actually begin to consume food someone will ask “Uncle Bob would you return thanks?” or ...read more

     | 6,096 views

    There can be debates an disagreements over who should or shouldn't be permitted to receive communion, but let's go back to the Last Supper to see who took part.

I had just completed my first year of university and for the summer I volunteered with an organization called the Shantymen Christian Association, now referred to simply as SCA.

     | 7,590 views

    As Christians we've all been called to be Holy, but what does that calling entail?

    For those of you who have kids, do you remember when your children were little, and you envisioned all they could be? You never pictured them as being average, normal yes, average no.

    In a society that seems to be obsessed with self love the concept of crucifying self seems a little odd. This message looks at what it means to crucify our sinful nature.

    Enough with the selfies. And you thought that selfies were harmless. When selfies first came out I thought taking pictures of yourself with a cell phone was a passing fad.

    Grace is evident throughout the Christmas story, what would Christmas look like without grace?
