     | 26,276 views

    10 lepers were healed but only one returned. Are we part of the nine, or are we the One? Those who truly worship and serve the Lord are few in number compared to the many who are blessed.

    Where Are the Nine? Sunday, March 8, 2015 By Rev. James May The time was drawing near for Jesus to pay the price of our sin upon the cross. Yet even in his last days upon the earth, Jesus never lost purpose in everything that he did. His mind was never so preoccupied with the things that he was ...read more

    What could cause us to lose our song? Imprisonment? Financial setbacks? A major accident? A serious health condition? In the moment of tragedy sorrow is inevitable but what about afterwards? Let's look at some people who sang in 'unsingable' situations.

    As we get ready for the Lord's Table, we must prepare ourselves, because hard times are ahead. Even so, we can be grateful.

    Several years ago, in a small-town church in upstate New York, a well-loved pastor who had been there for 35 years retired. He was replaced by a young pastor just starting out in ministry. The young man had a great desire to do well, but after just a few weeks he began to perceive that the people ...read more

    Be open to being used in whatever way you can, the impact is yet to be seen but will forever be felt by someone else.

    Intro 1: Good morning! Welcome again to our English service, I say that so often, but just speaking makes that phrase redundant. Bottom line, I’m happy you are here, I’m happy you are signed in, I’m glad we can worship together today, whatever that looks like. It has been a very interesting 9/10 ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 137 views

    God calls and equips ordinary people to serve and minister, emphasizing surrendered hearts over methods, so that every believer actively participates in Christ’s mission.

    Some of you walked in today with a song on your lips and a smile in your eyes. Others arrived with a sigh, carrying calendars that feel too full and hearts that feel a bit thin. God sees you. He knows the names on your to-do list and the needs you don’t know how to name. And into this ordinary ...read more

    The Sinner And The Saint PRO Sermon

     | 143 views

    True acceptance with God comes not through self-righteousness or comparison, but through humble confession and receiving His mercy offered in Jesus Christ.

    Some stories slip into the room and sit right beside us. This is one of them. It whispers to the weary, “You can put down the mask,” and it nudges the proud, “You can put down the measuring stick.” Picture it: two people walk into God’s house—one with a polished prayer and a proud posture, the ...read more

    You are intentionally created by God, uniquely valued, and your life has purpose and dignity that reflect His love and glory.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache behind the smile. You know the one—the ache that wonders, Do I matter? Does my life count? Have I been seen, heard, known? We carry comparisons like heavy coats in summer. We replay old comments, old failures, old fears, and they whisper their worn-out ...read more

    Visible Faith

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 19, 2024
     | 1,508 views

    People tend to think about faith as a private matter. James would argue otherwise for a visible faith.

    As we’ve been studying the book of James - we have observed how he calls us to have a “spiritual wholeness” - a faith that runs throughout all that we are. A faith that is revealed in our character, exhibited in conflicts, and heard in our conversations. He calls us to… persevere amidst trials, ...read more

    This sermon uses the imagery of a storm-tossed ship and a lighthouse to illustrate how Christ offers steadfast guidance amid the chaos of life. Through Colossians 3, it calls believers to spiritual renewal by putting off sin and embracing Christlike virtues with intentionality and gratitude.

    The Might and Majesty of Nature Close your eyes for a moment. Let your senses tune in to the might and majesty of nature. Listen closely. Can you hear it?

    Communion isn’t just a private moment; it’s a shared act that shapes the church. In 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 Paul corrects abuses and gives a pattern: remember Christ, proclaim His death until He comes, examine ourselves, and consider one another.

    Old Man Thanks God for a Solitary Lunch This week we’re in our second week of our communion series, and before I get into the sermon today, I just want to go ahead and encourage you to grab the elements if you haven’t yet.
