“he Was Tortured By The Romans” Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 20, 2015

The Romans tortured Jesus out of ignorance. But is that a justifiable excuse?

It’s interesting to contrast how the suffering of Jesus is portrayed. There are depictions that are rated PG. There’s hardly any blood; and Jesus looks more annoyed than in pain. There’s a heavenly glow around His head, as He gazes into heaven. Then there are depictions that more ...read more

Can A Man Resist God Almighty? Series

Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Dec 15, 2015

Can a man resist God's laws? Can he resist God's grace? Two different questions...

Contributed by John Gullick on Dec 23, 2015

2nd sermon of this title by me ten years apart. This one is for Christmas 2015 - uses a metaphor that Christmas eve is a splash of colour on a black backdrop of history. I will probably do a painting as I preach it.

'tis The Season To Be Expectant And Jubilant Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Jan 2, 2016

Our expectations can bring limitations on people or on God. Jesus works in the realm of faith. He freely limits Himself based on our expectations of Him. It is our expectations of His faithfulness that create and sustain Joy in us.

Intro: Harvard social psychologist Robert Rosenthal’s classic did a study of children to see how they responded to expectations. All the children in one San Francisco grade school were given a standard I.Q. test at the beginning of the school year. The teachers were told the test could ...read more

Son Of The Living God

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Mar 11, 2014

Who do men say that I am? This is an awesome passage showing that the knowledge of who Jesus is comes from only God Himself. This is a grand statement on the Christ, the Son of the Living God. Verse 18 however has been hijacked and the truth must be told.

This week was the beginning of lent. Lent was based on a 40 day fast that some people did in the early church attempting to emulate the 40 day fast of Jesus that took place immediately after His baptism. Over the years it has become connected with the 40 days preceding the resurrection of Jesus ...read more

Contributed by James Lee on Nov 19, 2013

Parts of this message was adapted from a sermon by Pastor Jerry Shirley. Today I want to focus on the idea of “Have I crossed the line?” Have I committed the unforgivable sin? People often ask what is the “Unpardonable or the unforgivable sin”?

A pastor asked his congregation this question. “Is there anyone here who has never sinned? If there is, please stand up.” Well In the back of the room John stood up. The pastor said “John, are you telling me that you have never sinned?” “No” said John, ...read more
