    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,134 views

    The Bethlehem shepherds left their lambs being born in the fields to attend the birth of The Lamb of God who is also the Good and Great Shepherd. But, they were also unique as they pastored the Temple flocks of lambs who would die at the same place, time

    The Deeper Significance of the Unique Bethlehem Shepherds "And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night." (Luke 2:8) Shepherds are correctly included in every Nativity scene and church Christmas pageant … usually ...read more

    Destined To Sing Revelation 15:1-5 Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 20, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,069 views

    Sin stifles our ability to flourish and grow and become all God has designed us to be. In some cases it destroys the lives He created for good and fulfillment and fruitfulness. But God has designed us to sing to His heavenly music.

    Revelation 15 "I saw in heaven another great and marvelous sign: seven angels with the seven last plagues—last, because with them God’s wrath is completed. 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the ...read more

    Jesus Forgives A Paralysed Man Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,219 views

    We often get carried away by the performance, but is the message being proclaimed clearly. Are we speaking the gospel in every situation we find ourselves in? Are we offering forgiveness and mercy. Are we engaged in the main game or just the side show?

    Have you noticed how mobile phones are now an essential accessory for so many people? It seems like no matter where you are you’re likely to find yourself standing next to someone who’s having a conversation on their phone. And if you’re like me you probably find yourself ...read more

    Addressing The Realities Of Life Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Mar 23, 2015
     | 7,255 views

    Being human is generally a good thing. The temptation in our day is to manipulate or engineer human nature and deny its realities. But a church is about real people, redeemed by Jesus, but fully human — even more human — because of that redemption.

    Addressing the Realities of Life (I Timothy 5:1-16) 1. Some people have a sanitized view of life. Life, however, is often less glamourous. 'Cash, check or charge?' I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a ...read more

    Matthew 17:19-20 – Why Don’t I Have Enough Faith? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Oct 8, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,002 views

    Is faith just optimism draped in impotence? Jesus faith is positive and powerful? Is their faith a bonsai faith, kept small and so stunted that it is inept; dwarfed by the enormity of circumstances that are in need of a miracle? How could this be? Midget faith is not mustard seed faith!

    Matthew 17:19-20 – WHY DON’T I HAVE ENOUGH FAITH? Why are some people healed and others not healed? Is it my faith that is deficient? Jesus is asked a similar question by His disciples when they had not been able to heal a little boy. In Matthew 17:19-20 (NLT) they ask “Why ...read more

    "fan Or Follower?" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Jun 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,336 views

    There are two groups and we have to decide which one we are going to be. There are fans and there are followers. Here’s the difference. Fans only follow when you are popular. Once you make one wrong move they turn against you.

    NOBODY BUT JESUS Fan or Follower? Mark 8:31-38 Let me ask you a very deep question this morning. Serious business. Did you know that Ben & Jerry’s has a new ice cream flavor? They put cookies and actual peanut butter cookie pieces mixed into the ice cream and then they bore a hole down the ...read more

    A Study Of The Book Of Revelation, 2: The Things Which John Saw Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Jun 11, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,548 views

    John's final book begins with glorious encounters in the heavenlies. God's outline of the book was,1. The things you have seen, 2. the things which are, and 3. and the things which shall be. This is part one of the outline, and most important!

    1. The things which John saw. (1:1-20) Address of origin (1: 1-2). John receives this document from an angel. Even when Jesus appears to be speaking, the angel is delivering the message. Knowing just this one fact will make much of the reading in the beginning and especially at the very end of the ...read more

    God's Call For Resolution

    Contributed by Shawn Miller on Dec 31, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,547 views

    A message about not being so concerned about things in which we have no control over in life because there are much bigger things to be concerned about. Just as we are tempted to envy the prosperity of the wicked so was Jeremiah but he learned not to.

    God's call for Resolution Scripture: Jeremiah 12:1-17 Introduction: A new year is upon us and if we ever had need for resolution it is today. The term resolution has come to be known as something you promise yourself to do at the beginning of the new year but then give up on shortly after you ...read more

    O Lord It Is Hard To Be Humble

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 27, 2011
    based on 427 ratings
     | 71,963 views

    Being humble is difficult because as soon as you believe that you are becoming more humble, you in essence are not humble anymore! Reminds me of the old Mac Davis song O Lord it is hard to be humble when you are perfect in every way.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Joshua:3:7-17; ; Psalm 107:1-7,33-37; 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13 and Matthew 23:1-12. A Texas rancher met up with a Vermont dairy farmer.

    Marijuana Use: Willingly Walking Into Bondage

    Contributed by Terry Frazier on Feb 1, 2014
     | 8,255 views

    What's really behind the movement in America to legalize marijuana? Why do we want to sanction people being put into bondage to a substance and in a broader sense sin? This is very troubling as Christians seem to be having a hard time standing against sin

    A couple of weeks ago I preached a message on the Christian views on legalizing marijuana in America. If you’ll recall, I wasn’t very supportive of the idea. The notion that we can legalize sin and somehow make state sanctioning of sin a good thing despite the fact that legalizing ...read more

    How To Behave In A Cave Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,511 views

    When all your crutches are gone and you feel your life is being lived in a cave, then David has some lessons to teach us. First, he shows us how to react, then he shows us who we will attract.

    How to Behave in a Cave 1 Samuel 22:1-2 When we ended our study last week, we saw how God had taken everything away from David. We saw how David lost every crutch he had that could have taken the place of God. He lost his position, his wife, his prophet, his friend Jonathan and finally his ...read more

    Genereous: Discovering The Generous Character Of God Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 4, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,840 views

    If you examine the Bible from Genesis to Revelation we find that again and again God is giving. He is generous in creation, salvation, and sanctification. If His character is so generous shouldn't ours be? God is lavishly generous as we identifiy with

    Intro: What is it that will cause us as Christians, followers of Christ to give in a manner that glorifies God? It will not be capital campaigns, it will not be gimmicks. Instead it will be when we understand the depths of God’s character and His goal to spread His kingdom by seeking and ...read more
