Waiting For An Important Call Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 14, 2008

A sermon I preached the Sunday before our annual revival. There is a need for the church to be revived, but revival ought not to last only a week.

Preparing for Revival Introduction: One week from today we begin our revival. Every year we bring in an evangelist to preach our revival, however I wonder if it ever works. The sermons are usually fantastic as we do our best to bring in powerful communicators of the Word of God. The problem ...read more

Journey From Freedom To Slavery Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Mar 14, 2013

The point of this whole Bible miniseries is to have the opportunity to see how even the ancient major stories in the Bible are relevant to us and reveal God's intentions toward all of us.

Many of us have stories of our ancestors don't we. Maybe it's the Grandpa that came to Canada with $5 in his pocket. Or a family member who fought in a famous war. And of course the parent who walked to and from school uphill everyday in 6 feet of snow. I never could figure out how it's uphill both ...read more

Just Like Us (Part Five) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 11, 2019

Going Into Battle

Contributed by Mark Engler on Sep 28, 2017

But the church today isn’t living in power, it isn’t going into to battle and we have a hard time obeying Jesus. Even Christians dislike each other and sometimes even hate each other. Even Christians would rather do worldly things rather than Godly thin
