    In Christ (Part One )

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 2,053 views

    Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

    IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God. Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now ...read more

    This Christmas season as we seek to meet our Christmas Expectations, how can we help others meet those expectations, by our being the gift.

    Be the Gift! Matthew 2:1-12 December 9, 2018 In past years we’ve talked about the art of regifting. And it is an art. How do you tactfully give a gift which you’ve been given and remember who gave it to you, so that you don’t regift to the giver? That can be pretty exhausting in and of itself. ...read more

    Perfect peace is found only in Jesus Christ by developing an intimate relationship with Him. Two ways to help with that is developing our prayer life and being obedient to Him.

    Shalom! Peace! Jesus offers us the gift of his peace. Pope Benedict XVI, said of this, “Here, the traditional greeting with which people wish one another shalom, peace, becomes something new: it becomes the gift of the peace that Jesus alone can give because it is the fruit of his radical victory ...read more

    Jesus was strengthened by his wilderness experience, and so are we. Jesus left the wilderness, called his disciples and started doing God’s work. We can also leave the wilderness and do God’s work, all the time being confident that we can face temptation.

    Have you ever faced temptation in your life? Each and every one of us has faced life’s temptations at some point in time, and we are always faced with the issue of how we are going to face them. Even Jesus was tempted, as we have heard in today’s Gospel reading. We can be tempted at any ...read more

    The quality of mercy is not strain'd. It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest: It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.
