The Know It All Series

Contributed by Hal Mayer on Nov 3, 2008

This is a message about the destructiveness of pride and the value of humility

We begin a new series- Did you hear the one about- parables of Jesus. • Parable- Jesus taught using these because He understood the power of a story. • We remember the stories we hear often more than the sermons… Today- we are tackling the subject of the know it all… more specifically the 2 ...read more

Risking It All

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Nov 13, 2008

We say God is all-powerful, but when push comes to shove are we ready to put all our faith in Him? Is believing in God a risk?

President John F. Kennedy once said, “There are risks and costs to a program of action. But they are far less than the long-range risks and costs of comfortable inaction.” History is strewn with people who took risks and in so doing they changed the course of history. It is something we don’t like ...read more

Three For All Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Jul 25, 2012

Presents the work of the Trinity in bringing salvation

Introduction What I will first note is that we are reading an epistle. An epistle is not, as one young student guessed, the wife of an apostle! It is a letter. This letter, as with most of the letters or epistles, starts off with the standard form of address. We begin with “Dear… ...read more

Once And For All

Contributed by Samuel Fulkerson on Aug 23, 2012

God, in Christ Jesus, removed all the distinctions of the temple by becoming sin for all and giving His own righteousness to all.

Isaiah 64:1-10 1- “Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, 2- s [when] the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, [that] the nations may tremble ...read more

With All The Angels

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 27, 2008

Angels are our helpers in the mopping up action that is life in the Church between the Resurrection and the Second Coming.

St. Michael and All Angels September 29, 2008 We are born into a battle, but we are born ill-equipped for that battle. It is a battle, as St. Paul teaches, with principalities and powers, with mighty spiritual beings. But, by the infinitely powerful grace of God, we are reborn through baptism, ...read more

All In The Family Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

Have you ever stopped and thought, “Why me? Why did God choose me to be his child?" It just pleased God to do so. It gave God pleasure to choose you to be his child. And when God does something he does it so he derives personal pleasure from it.

INTRODUCTION Today I want to talk to you about being part of God’s family. We’re all so proud of our parents– or at least we ought to be–like the little boy in school who was bragging about how tough his daddy was and he turned to a little girl and said, “You know, my ...read more

All Of Grace

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 23, 2014

We accomplish God's will by God's strength. We receive God's favour by God's grace.

Deut 9:1-2 1 Hear, O Israel. You are now about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities that have walls up to the sky. 2 The people are strong and tall - Anakites! You know about them and have heard it said: "Who can stand up against the ...read more

To All The Saints Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 23, 2013

The Apostle Paul is writing to the church in Philippi, all of the Christians and, basically, the church board. What does it say to us today?

Philippians 1:1-11 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for ...read more

All Is Well

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 5, 2014

Our common faith was expressed so aptly in the words of Dame Julian of Norwich - but these words were anticipated and exceeded by far by another great woman in today's Scripture passage.

ALL IS WELL. 2 Kings 4:18-26. In England’s original ‘second City’ - Norwich - there is a little church named after an all-but-forgotten Saint Julian, where worship is still conducted to this very day. Yet the church is not remembered for its patron, but for a certain 14th century recluse who ...read more

And Justice For All Series

Contributed by Bruce Rzengota on Mar 26, 2014

Custom's set us apart; they become our culture, the attitudes, actions and values that define us. In His early messages Jesus kept referring to the coming kingdom of God and the culture that defines it.

Faith Challenges that will Change Your Summer And Justice for All Matt 5:33-48 7/14/2013 Introduction * The Masai tribe, located in Kenya and Tanzania, greet each other by spitting. When greeting elders, a tribesman must spit in his hand before offering a handshake, thus showing respect. The ...read more

Lord Of All

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Jan 28, 2014

A reminder of the complete sovereignty of Jesus

I’ve talked about Steve and Alberta Kelly’s dogs before. They’re not just regular dogs. These dogs are hardship cases. Every one of them has a story - one nearly died of exposure as a puppy; one has been shot with a shotgun; one, hit by a car. The vet fixes them up, and they ...read more

Sell It All?

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 18, 2009

The command to become poor for the Gospel’s sake is really a liberation to preach the Gospel.

Tuesday of Second Week in Easter John 3 Today’s reading from Acts is a little scary. We always worry about the preaching of the Gospel, lest it impact on our lifestyle. It looks today as if Luke is telling us to sell our property and give it to the poor or to the community for the poor. A ...read more

All Things

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 14, 2010

Final message on the church's vision statement. Christ's lordship over all things means that there is nothing worthy that we can leave out of our work, but it will succeed if we are focused on Him and not on our own success.

At the very center of the Christian faith there is Christ. That sounds self-evident: it seems obvious. But we keep forgetting it. We keep on trying to live without a center. Think about a wheel which has no hub; if you try to roll that wheel, its spokes will collapse. And no church will hold its ...read more
