It's Tradition Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jul 5, 2021

Many of us participate in Traditions, but never ask the question, "Why do we do that?" Communion is so much more than a simple tradition. It's about remembering what Jesus did for us.

July 03, 2021 It’s funny how traditions get started. They are important, to be sure, because they remind us of home and family and culture, but sometimes we participate in them not knowing why we do them because we have never stopped to ask, “Why do we do that?”. ...read more

Why We Don't Observe Sabbath - Or Do We? - Genesis 2:1-3 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 23, 2021

On the seventh day God rested. So today we’re going to ask the question, what do we do with the Sabbath day?

If you’d open your Bibles with me to Genesis 2 today. We’re in Genesis 2. I entitled this series of messages that we’re working on “Understanding Your Roots.” It's this whole study in the book of Genesis. The reason I call it “Understanding Your Roots” is because if you understand the book of ...read more

Why We Gather, No.2, Rhythm

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 15, 2021

God wants human life to have a rhythm to it and meeting together on Sunday helps us to establish that rhythm.

INTRODUCTION Two weeks ago we started a new four-talk series titled ‘Why we gather?’ I got the idea for the series from a website called SermonCentral. For the past 16 months most of us haven’t been gathering, or at least, not in person. Two weeks ago we started to meet again. So I think ...read more

God's Day Off Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 23, 2021

As Christian we ought to have it clear in our minds that we are no longer under the law with all of its Sabbath regulations. If we were, we are all storing up the wrath of God for the day of judgment.

I had the unique opportunity to talk deeply about biblical matters with a wealthy orthodox Jew. Among other things we talked about the Sabbath. He was a very conscientious Jew who knew his Bible quite well, and so I asked him how he reconciled operating a business on Saturday when the ...read more

As Unto The Lord

Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 20, 2020

Jesus dignified work. Work is part of God's plan to bless us, bring us joy, and glorify God.

Introduction Everyone knows that Jesus was a carpenter. But where in the Bible does it say that? Mark 6:1-3 Is this not the carpenter? Not a priest. Not a merchant. Didn’t study at the university. Not a professional, like a lawyer or doctor. Not in government. A craftsman, he had ...read more

Remember The Sabbath Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021

I want to change your thinking when it comes to God’s command for one day of rest. I want you to think more about what you are commanded to do rather than what you are not commanded to do.

We are in a series featuring the Ten Commandments. We began with an overview of the scene when the Ten Commandments were first given in Exodus 19. And now we find ourselves examining the fourth commandment. Today’s Scripture “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, ...read more

Are You Committed? Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 21, 2021

Nehemiah is great study of leadership, but also challenges us on Godly obedience. However, obedience to God’s calling is one of our greatest hurdles in today’s world. Nehemiah established a covenant with the people that is still in effect today, if we are willing to be faithful to God!

Introduction - Nehemiah is great study of leadership, but also challenges us on Godly obedience -- Obedience to God’s calling is one of our greatest hurdles in today’s world - Last week we saw the people’s need to worship God and why: 1. He is completely Sovereign 2. He is always ...read more

A Priceless Gift

Contributed by Gerald Du Preez on Nov 6, 2015

The value of the seventh-day Sabbath as a day of rest.

A Priceless Gift I recently celebrated a birthday that placed me into a special category - a category that allows me to order from the Seniors menu at a certain local restaurant; to park in the seniors' bay at the mall and to receive double points from a loyalty card at one of the local chemists. ...read more

Papa God!

Contributed by Bala Samson on Sep 24, 2015

After God created Adam, ‘Papa God’ got busy doing things one after the other for His son Adam, it was like a home with a new born baby!

Papa God! Genesis 2:8” And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed.” I read something delightful today from the book of Genesis chapter two, and I thought it would bless you too! May be there’s something in it for each one ...read more

The Blessing Of Work Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 30, 2021

Labor Day: Work was ordained by God in the beginning and was intended to give us a level of satisfaction and purpose. This topical message looks at some prominent Bible passages on work to see how work is a blessing.

I wish to begin with an illustration: “On one occasion, Thomas Edison came home very exhausted from an extended season of work. His wife insisted that he needed some rest, so she suggested a vacation. Edison mulled it over but wasn’t sure where he should go. His wife said, ‘Just decide where you ...read more

Sabbath Rest Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 16, 2021

Labor Day: The word "sabbath" has something to do with "rest." But like the word “sabbath,” the word “rest” has become lost in American society. This message brings awareness to a forgotten and important spiritual principle.

This morning we are going to take a look at “Sabbath Rest,” and try to understand what it is. The word “sabbath” seems so foreign to us today, and whenever we hear the word we tend to think of Sundays or going to church; however, that’s not entirely what sabbath is about. In the Bible the sabbath ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Sep 21, 2021

The seventh day is mentioned three times here in Genesis 2:1-3. The seventh day is unique; it has incomparable significance, indicated also by the fact that this is the first time the word “holy” is used in Scripture.

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 26, 2023

Secular psychologists have developed methods for dealing with Low Self-Esteem. But what does the Bible teach concerning this matter? This message offer three principles for dealing with self-esteem based on Scripture.

Intro Last week we introduced the subject of self-awareness. Self-awareness is a fact of life.
