    A New Year’s message that would work well anytime a challenge is needed to respect the power and importance of choice.

    Navigating Life Living And Dying With The Choices We Make -I’m not a big Country music fan…but I do think that country music has the best song titles of any musical genre hands down… Here are a few: "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" "You Can’t Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd" "Thank ...read more

    Jesus meets a Samaritan woman at a well, speaks of living water, true worship, and the fields white for harvest.

    John 4:1-42 “Water for Dry Times” INTRODUCTION The writer of John paints a stark contrast between the Jewish leader, Nicodemus in chapter three and the Samaritan woman at the well in chapter four. The Pharisee and religious leader has a name, the woman is unnamed. The man was a ...read more

    This sermon is focused on helping us to press on to enjoy the life that is our for the experiencing – a life that is progressive, a life that understands how the Lord corrects and prunes us for our benefit and a life that enjoy the fruits of being an authentic Christ follower.

    Creating Heaven On Earth In Christian Community

    Contributed by Nigel Heath on Jul 28, 2009
     | 3,494 views

    Authentic relationships in truly Christian community have far greater appeal than church programs. All will know we are Christians by our love.

    26.7.09 CREATING HEAVEN ON EARTH IN CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY INTRO I believe we are just coming to the close of the Glasgow Fair fortnight – a time in the year which many people look forward to in order to experience a time of rest.

    A higher Christian life is: 1. Faith in the Promises of God. 2. Consecration to the will of God 3. Fellowship in the presence of God 4. Testimony to the Honor of God 5. Warfare Against the Enemies of God 6. Victory in the Name of God

    A Higher Life Hebrews 3:11-11 Introduction: Some people are content with limping along the fence. Others want to launch out into the deep. Where true revival is taking place, Christians become interested in doing more for Christ, not less. They are not content with living the same kind of a life ...read more

    Welcome Home

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on Feb 7, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,544 views

    This sermon looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son, and explores the relationship between the father, the younger son, and the older son. The intertwined relationship of this family shows that love and respect should be the key values of our church.

    Lately I have been binge watching this new American TV series called “This is us”. It’s about a family with triplets and their intertwining stories with each other now, when the characters are grown up, but it constantly flashes back to their childhood times. It shows how their loving parents ...read more

    True Worship

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 20, 2025
     | 656 views

    TRUE WORSHIP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 4:23-24 Supporting Texts: Psalm 95:6, Romans 12:1, Isaiah 29:13, Hebrews 13:15, Revelation 4:10-11 INTRODUCTION: True worship is not a mere act of singing, lifting hands, or attending church—it is a spiritual response to the greatness, ...read more

    Embracing Change — Making Room For Pure Religion

    Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Jun 1, 2025
     | 195 views

    Change is never easy. But in the Kingdom of God, change is often the doorway to growth. The Church has always been called to adapt—not by compromising truth, but by shedding old forms that no longer serve the mission.

    Thank God.

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 11, 2013
     | 8,123 views

    The Bible isn’t a list of rules. The Bible is a relationship waiting to happen. You need Jesus. And Jesus isn’t going to leave you because you mess up

    The Bible tells us how to live. Not necessarily as a list of rules, but, more like guidelines. Sometimes we confuse the Bible with a list of rules and then we really worry about whether we’re keeping them all or not. I know I used to live that way. The problem with trying really, really, ...read more

    Speaking The Truth In Love - Loving The Immoral Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Jul 17, 2013
     | 4,123 views

    We love immoral people by holding on to what we believe and sympathizing with the weaknesses of others because we know what our weaknesses are.

    Jesus says the most important command of God for us to obey is this, “To love God with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and to love others.” So for the last few weeks we’ve taken some time to define what this kind of love is. We can summarize our last few lessons this way, ...read more

    True Love Acts

     | 15,115 views

    Words are cheap. True biblical love is love in action.

    If you ever feel frustrated with your church—God forbid!—then just read the Bible book of 1 Corinthians. First Church, Corinth was a real mess! People were fighting and gossiping. People were prideful. People were cliquish. And so the Apostle Paul wrote them a letter, trying to ...read more

    What To Do When Your Job Stinks!

    A short sermon concerning Jesus' tears, written for All Saints Sunday.

    I’m a Saints fan, and sometimes I like to turn down the sound on the TV and turn up the sound on the radio, and listen to the radio broadcast from the Saints broadcasting network. It makes for a much more fan friendly broadcast to listen to the “home” team announcers on game day. ...read more
