Pep Talk

Contributed by Bala Samson on Dec 14, 2015

None in this world can pat you on your back and cheer you, coax you, urge you, push you, embolden you, support you and stir you like the way our Heavenly dad does!

The Honour Of Second Place

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Jan 17, 2017

In life there are those who seem to be born leaders but leaders need the essential support of others and appear to take 2nd place. The disciple of Jesus, Andrew shows us very clearly that there is Honour in taking Second Place.

I’m sure in the past you have either applied for a job or some position and you attended an interview panel or selection board. Well picture the disciples before such an examining board which was appointed to choose Jesus' closest associates. Peter stood there smelling of fish -- uncouth, ...read more

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Feb 19, 2017

This sermon supports the understanding of humility, which used properly is one of the best weapons in a Christian’s arsenal; and that is by traveling a second mile on a difficult, lonely road; a road Jesus traveled, a road that he want us to travel.

Emotions Under Control Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

I know it is a popular myth that the Christian is supposed to experience only the good ones of love, joy, and peace, but unfortunately the Word of God will not support this myth. God's people in the Bible felt every feeling there is to be felt.

Three Frenchmen have come to the rescue of fathers who have no pleasure in trying to discover if their baby needs a diaper change. They have invented a little electronic device that fits right into the infant's diaper. As soon as there is any contact with moisture it breaks out with a bubbly ...read more

God’s Brooks

Contributed by Samuel M on Apr 26, 2025

God sends Elijah to Cherith Brook, a spring of water that dried up after sometime. It supported Elijah for a season, after that it dried up. God’s brooks, or provisions are not continuous or lifelong springs but rather seasonal streams.

Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, which flows into the Jordan. And it will be that you shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” 1 Kings 17:2-4 And it happened after a while ...read more

Sermon # 46 - What God Desires Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 5, 2025

Jonah failed to understand the compassionate and merciful nature of God. We as a church must know the heart of God and be actively involved in sharing the good news of the gospel and inviting those outside to be part of God’s Kingdom.

We read in Jonah 4:8, “And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, It is better for me to die than to live.” (KJV) As we observe the works of God they astound ...read more

You Missed The Point

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 23, 2003

Why do we scold fathers on Father’s Day, when it is often that their children simply miss hearing their counsel. The sons of Josiah ignored their grounding in God’s word and the support of the Temple and misunderstood the value of hard work.

The difference between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day is that we honor our mothers but we scold our fathers. We talk of saintly moms, who wore their fingers to the bone to cook and clean and sow for us. We honor them for their industry, their mother wit, and their prayer life. And that is as it ...read more

The One Constant Series

Contributed by Jake Kircher on Sep 27, 2007

Too often in life, we are looking to so many things to be constant in our lives and support us. Money, family, friends, jobs, etc. The fact is, all of those things will fail us, only God remains.

Tonight, I wanted to start off our time together by talking about being let down.

What Would Jesus Say To Harry Potter? Series

Contributed by Greg Hanson on Apr 16, 2007

This is, I believe, a balanced look at the Harry Potter phenomenon, acknowledging that Christians have supported and opposed it. But beyond that, this message looks at what Jesus might have to say to Harry, if Harry were a real person.
