    John's gospel ends, leaving us reassured in our faith, so we can pray for leaders at all levels in church – that they humbly serve their flocks, and we can all re-fix our eyes on Jesus in love, and follow him, relieved of distracting comparisons.

    Sermon by Rev Ruth Newmarch You know how in some movies, the music tells you the end has come, but sometimes the ending has been so dramatic, that you are still taking it in...the implications and emotions are swirling around the audience. Then credits start to roll, but the director has added in ...read more

    In a previous message we looked at GOD’S PURPOSE IN THE BAD that comes our way.

    When the bad comes our way, we need to remember Romans 8:28. “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Some folks feel that this scripture is teaching that whatever comes your way, you should scream and shout ...read more

    A time of shaking is coming a time in the world when everything is shaken, except certain things which can never be shaken. All that is not built upon Christ the solid rock will fall and only things eternal will stand.

    Unshakable Things By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer Jr. PRELUDE: - I grew up in the church back in the day when we sang songs that stirred something up deep down on the inside. I’m not talking about emotionalism because you can be emotional without being spiritual, but you can’t be spiritual without ...read more

    We frequently look in other directions to try to see spiritual transformation for our churches. Our only hope is a move of the Spirit, who can bring the dead to life.

    DRY BONES: There are moments that seem hopeless. - Ezekiel 37:1-3a. - The immediate context here is the life of Israel. Things had become hopeless for them. - Their disobedience had led them to a place of despair and defeat. As they looked at their ability to stand up to their enemies, the army ...read more

    At the first of the year it seems good to think of the “first things” God wants us to do. Following are most of the NT scriptures with the word “first” in them.

    FIRST THINGS Matthew 6:31-34 and other Scriptures Intro One week a Sunday school teacher had just finished telling her class the Christmas story, how Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem and how Jesus was born there. So the teacher asked, "Who do you think the most important woman in the Bible ...read more

     | 5,038 views

    “The Main Thing” is a sermon which assumes you have placed your faith in Jesus the Christ as your Savior & Lord and eagerly desire to live a life that is pleasing to God. It is also for those who want to know what true Christianity is really all about.

    THE MAIN THING C. Bishop For the [true] love of God is this: that we do His commands [keep His ordinances and are mindful of His precepts and teaching]. And these orders of His are not irksome (burdensome, oppressive, or grievous). 1 John 5:3 (AMP) I want to impress on your mind that God says we ...read more

    In week one we looked at the example of Jesus. In week two we looked at the example of Paul. Today, we'll see that it's not only the good examples we can learn from but the bad examples too.

    SETTING A GOOD EXAMPLE (part three) We have learned from the good examples of Jesus and Paul and we learned some ways that we can be good examples. However, it's not just the good examples we can learn from; we can learn from the bad examples too. On September 19, 1997, a drivers-ed teacher gave ...read more

    Lust craves to use people for our "needs" and desires. It is the exact opposite of the love and focus on the needs of others that Jesus calls us to.

    II Samuel 11:1-5, Matthew 5:27-30 “A Good Gift Gone Bad” (Lust) INTRODUCTION We live in a society that panders to lust. Everywhere we look—billboards, magazines, movies and television—we view provocative pictures. The goal of modern clothing fashion is to be alluring. The idea of turning ...read more
