    INTRODUCTION In the weeks ahead, in light of Memorial Day and Father’s Day, it is my intention to bring a series of messages that will challenge your faith and call you to choose sides in the spiritual warfare that is being waged in our lives. After those messages I’m going to be dealing with four ...read more

    The disciples’ walk to emmaus begins a developing Experience of Christ - Heart-Breaking at his death but when Jesus joins them it becomes Heart-Searching and ends as Heart-Burning Experience.

    I read about a minister who was given the honour of preaching at an important meeting of his denomination. Just before he was to start his sermon he was seen to be looking anxiously around the congregation. The chairman whispered to him, "What’s the problem? Is there someone here who’s heard the ...read more

    Paul, Pt. 15

    THE BEST IS YET TO COME (EPHESIANS 3:14-19) There once was a sculptor working hard with his hammer and chisel on a large block of marble. A little boy who was watching him saw nothing more than large and small pieces of stones falling away left and right. He had no idea what was happening. But when ...read more

    1. People often miss the presence of God. 2. The Kingdom of God comes in simple ways. 3. We are called to live in awareness.

    “How do you expect me to believe in God,” asked Woody Allen, “when only last week I got my tongue caught in the roller of my electric typewriter?” There are many people like Woody Allen who focus on the annoyances of life rather than wonderful things of life. It always seems that the troubles of ...read more

    Jesus, our Aslan, has overcome.

    “See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.” “Safe?” said Mr. Beaver. Don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” C.S. Lewis published the first installment of his ...read more

    Why would C.S. Lewis use a "white witch" to depict the evil of Satan? And what can we learn from Satan’s attempt to deceive Jesus in the desert?

    Love In Large Denominations

     | 3,348 views

    We have ’Free Church Homecoming’ - an ecumenical service once a year. This sermon is an encouragement to go and to be the church universal, not just a congregation.

    I have a confession to make. I have not been looking forward to Free Church as I ought. I remember when I attended my first one eight years ago, I looked forward to it. But nowadays, sometimes it seems like it’s getting just a little bit old. It’s tempting to say that the idea has had its day and ...read more

    Our viewpoint of death is a stark contrast to God's viewpoint.

    Since I have retired I have developed a new hobby. It is called sleeping. I love to sleep. After 34 years of averaging 6 hours sleep a night it is nice to now get 8 or more. In fact I have to set the alarm or I would probably sleep the entire day away. There is an old saying “I fell dead ...read more

    We are saved for good works as God's artwork, and the difference He makes in our lives must be seen.

    Sculptures have always amazed me. You have heard the story of the man who carved art out of logs using a chain saw. His specialty was carving the shape of an angry bear. He loved for people asked him how he did it. He would answer, “I just cut away everything that doesn’t look like an ...read more

    Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 21, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,201 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

     | 10,649 views

    Godliness is not something that happens over night. It takes work and discipline. It takes exercise!

    Do you remember the last time you left a service all fired up to change? You were determined to be different. "This time," you said, "I mean it; I am going to become the person that God wants me to be!" "No Really! I'm going to change! I won't give in to that temptation. I will read my Bible every ...read more

    This is a look at the ways David observed in Psalm 8 that God displayed His Majesty in Creation.

    O LORD, HOW MAJESTIC IS YOUR NAME Ps. 8:1-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man was told by his doctor he only had 6 months to live. “What should I do, doctor?” he asked. 2. The doctor said, “Move to Arkansas and marry a younger woman with 8 kids.” 3. “Will that make me ...read more
