Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 28, 2025

In the first chapter of 2 Samuel, David receives news that King Saul — the man who tried to kill him, who obsessed over destroying him — has died. If anyone could celebrate, it would be David.

Strong Enough To Serve

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025

Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

Unprecedented  faith - "Creating An Environment Of Faith”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 11, 2026

As we begin our new series on Unprecedented Faith, I believe it’s wise to lay the foundation for creating an environment where our faith can grow and mature as we pursue God's promises. This faith environment is revealed in Joshua’s life and his parting words to the next generation.

Why Tell Shepherds And Ignore Kings?

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 23, 2024

Why did God announce the birth of His Son to humble shepherds and ignore informing kings?

“In the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, ‘Fear not, for behold, I bring you good ...read more

Sermon # 47 - Avoid The Hot East Wind Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 10, 2025

God sent the hot east wind to rebuke the prophet Jonah. If we want to avoid the hot east wind from blowing over our lives we must set aside pride and disobedience and live in humility and obedience to the sovereign Lord.

Our meditation is based on Jonah 4:8, “After the sun had risen, God sent a hot east wind, and Jonah was about to faint from the heat of the sun beating down on his head. So he wished he were dead. "I am better off dead than alive," he said.” (GNB) Jonah was a prophet of God who preached ...read more

God’s Strength Is Made Perfect In Our Weakness.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Sep 8, 2024

By using the story of the gentile woman, whose daughter was possessed, we can learn the process of prayer, and how we need to become nothing to allow God to work through us and bless us abundantly whilst doing so.

This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity Church in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 8th September 2024 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O ...read more
