    New Things

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Apr 17, 2021
     | 3,988 views

    There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things. To some degree in our mind and hearts, we wipe from our mind and heart all the failures of the past year, all the heartaches and disappointments of the past year.

    Philippians 3:13-14; it takes a big person to know what to forget and what to remember. This being the first Sunday of the new year, I want to use the subject of the New Year for our message today. There is a certain excitement that comes with New Things.

    David The Warrior Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 21, 2024
     | 1,016 views

    David's experience as a warrior is unparalleled. There is a huge amount we can learn from him when it comes to fighting battles. The biggest lesson of all is that the decisive factor in a battle is God being with us.

    INTRODUCTION Today we’re returning to our series on ‘Learning from David’ and looking at the subject of ‘David the warrior.’ I thought we’d look at this subject this way. We’ll start by thinking about David and consider three questions. Did David fight? Why did he fight? And how did he fight? ...read more

    Faith To Go Series

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 25, 2025
     | 125 views

    This sermon highlights Abraham's radical obedience, who, by faith, left his place of comfort to follow God's call without knowing his final destination, trusting only in the promise of his Guide.

    Introduction How many of us are comfortable with the unknown? Most of us, if we're honest, are planners. We like a GPS for our car, an itinerary for our vacation, and a five-year plan for our career. We find our security in knowing what's coming next. We like maps. Today we come to one of ...read more

    When Job had fully experienced God, he came to understand more about God, life, and himself.

    Most preachers will tell you that the Book of Job can be tough to preach from. The story line itself isn’t exactly a feel-good experience, but you have to admit, it does make you think. Job discovered a new understanding of God’s purpose, and his suffering gave him a new perspective of himself as ...read more
