Freedom

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 20, 2022

Real freedom in Christ occurs when we live in God's Spirit and are useful in influencing other's lives for God. Jesus Himself showed us what freedom is. Today the word freedom has been misunderstood to mean license to sin.

FREEDOM Gal. 5:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Sometimes we take our freedoms too far. Like evry other president, William Howard Taft had to endure his share of abuse. One night at the dinner table, his youngest son made a disrespectful remark to him. There was a sudden hush. 2. “Well,” said ...read more

Come To The Table

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

The table is more than just a place to have a meal. Other things happen at the kitchen or dining room table. Conversations take place at the table; people play games and do projects at the table. Special things happen at the table.

COME TO THE TABLE We just had Thanksgiving where we got together with family and friends and gathered around the table. We like to hear that call, "dinner's ready, everyone come to the table". But that's not just a call to come and eat. The table is more than just a place to have ...read more

The Final Post Resurrection Appearance In John's Gospel Series

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Apr 24, 2020

Peter had failed Jesus by denying him 3 times and Jesus forgives him by allowing him to negate each of the three denials. We will fail but when we come to Jesus he will restore us

Jn 21:1-19 Introduction As I mentioned last Sunday and also on Easter Sunday, John records only four of the Post Resurrection appearances of Jesus. I think his reason for doing so is that the aim of his book is to awaken faith – and not to be - JUST another historical record of the times of ...read more

The Last Shall Be First Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 9, 2018

The world teaches that those who finish first are always declared the winner. Much emphasis is placed on our perceived position and status in life. Jesus challenged this teaching, declaring the Last shall be First.

The Last shall be First Matthew 20:16 Much of life is guided by perceived standards and expectations. We are quite familiar with these standards, being exposed to them as long as we can remember. In order to be accepted and successful, one is taught to believe they must abide by these long held ...read more

Against The Currents Series

You Are The Salt Of The Earth Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2022

Jesus calls us to be the salt - the preservative - of the earth. He warns us against losing our sense of mission. Or, considering the Greek, perhaps he is warning us against being pushed off course. But either way, his message is: stick with it.

Today, after a bit of a break, we’re returning to Jesus’ longest recorded sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. Can you remember how Jesus starts his sermon? What was his first WORD? Jesus’ first word is ‘blessed’. ‘Blessed’ means happy or fortunate. Jesus wants us to be blessed. He is going to ...read more

Jesus Among Secular Gods, Part 2 - Has Science Disproven Christianity Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 24, 2019

Many people have heard unfounded rumors that science disproves God. People will commonly say, I don't believe in God, I believe in science. God and science aren't mutually exclusive, but science actually points to God and His existence.

Have you ever had a conversation with someone about your faith, and their response was, “I don’t believe anything that cannot be scientifically proven?” That’s a pretty popular argument today among many people who claim to be atheists. The argument is that since God cannot be proven by scientific ...read more

Zebra In The Kitchen Series

Contributed by Coz Von on Jul 24, 2018

“Is this life, with all its toils, struggles, and disappointments, the sum of all that we are, or could be? and if we’re lucky— ends in dust? Is this our fate?” Well, yes, if the following view of our origins is correct. But on the other hand . . .

What does the purpose of our lives really depend upon? On how we got here— what else? As the oak is in the acorn, so our end is in our beginning. And what does that mean? Two primary, overarching views of human origins exist. The first sees the universe and everything in it as a product of purely ...read more
