    Confident That We Are His!

    Through Jesus Christ we approach God with confidence, trusting 100% in His merits and righteousness and none of our own. Jesus reveals the Father heart of God to us, and we're called to pursue God in holiness and love.

    August 26, 2018 Sermon - 1 John 5:13-21 - “Confident That We are His!”. For much of my adolescence and young adulthood I struggled with how I felt about myself, with confidence. Or should I say a lack of confidence. I thought I just didn’t measure up, didn’t have much to offer, barely warranted ...read more

    Two Revealing Prayers Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022

     | 4,372 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

    A balanced approach to healing.

    If you receive prayer requests via e-mail and listen to those at your prayer meetings, it does not take long to see that about ninety per cent of those prayers relate to some illness or physical weakness. We are a sickly people. Health and health care are primary issues for most of the world. ...read more

    Christ says we need to be childlike in our approach. There is a lot we can learn from the children.

    Cain & Abel Series

     | 2,885 views

    We can properly approach God as seen through 1) The Characters (Gen. 4:1-12), 2) The Crime (Gen. 4:3-8) and finally 3) The Consequences (Gen. 4:9-16).

    Genesis 4:1-16. [4:1] Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, "I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD." [2] And again, she bore his brother Abel.

    There’s nothing that reveals more about a believer than his/her prayer life. How we approach God of what we’re willing to ask for shows how we view God. It is very similar to how a child will make a request of their father.

    Reflection B.1 / Does God Have A Purpose In Coronavirus? / How To Approach The Question

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 11, 2020
     | 1,348 views

    We should ask whether God has a purpose in coronavirus. It's a logical and reasonable question to ask. But we first need to think about how to even approach the question.

    In my second Reflection I wrote: “Some Christians are asking why we’re experiencing this pandemic. Is coronavirus a judgement from God? Are we living in end times?” In my fifth Reflection I noted that the Daily Express [an English newspaper] had asked another question: “What does the Bible say ...read more
