     | 5,278 views

    Risk taking at times needs to be bold and calculated. Other times require spontaneity. Risk taking is taking on something that causes fear and has the possibility of failure. Risk taking is an essential ingredient in ministry in the Kingdom of God. Most B

    We can be easily defeated by words or ridicule. Pray and focus on what God has called us to do. Overcome fatigue, frustrations and fears by asking God for help, getting reinforcements and remembering the great and awesome God.

    What we learn last week: • God uses anyone who is willing to offer themselves to serve. He looks for availability, not capability. • So you and I have a place in God’s church, and being a member of this Body, our contribution is valuable and vital. • Since we are different ...read more

    History in advance; a panoramic picture of God’s dealings with Israel, the Antichrist, the coming Messiah, and the end of the age.

    1. Have you ever been reading a book, OR a novel and you come to a place where you think, “WOW, this is great! I don’t think it’s going to get any better than this?” • You just hit a place where the plot thickens, the characters expand, the story gets intense… and you’re absorbed with ...read more

    The Baptism Of Jesus Series

    The second sermon in a series on Mark. This message focuses upon the reasons for Christ’s baptism and the Triune nature of it. It stresses the unique nature of Jesus to His Father, and shows how we too may have the Father’s pleasure.

    Over the years, although I have kept no count, I dare say I have baptised dozens of people, people of all ages and with all kinds of backgrounds in rivers, lakes and sea, as well as swimming pools and baptismal tanks. Most baptisms I have completely forgotten the details of, but a few stick ...read more

    Faith and endurance go together. Faith is not faith without endurance. Let’s stop bragging about our faith, and let’s live out a faith that will endure any situation that we may face.

    Euodia and Syntche will forever be remembered for not getting along in the church at Philippi. What did Paul have to say about Church members in conflict?

    “WHY CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?” To many of us the L. A. riots of several years ago were just a news story. A score of people were killed and several thousand were injured in the ensuing fights that erupted over a racially charged situation. The African-American community in L.A. correctly ...read more

    If we do not have support systems we risk losing strength and stability. Everyone needs support systems. How do you draw strength for the journey? If you don’t have a close spiritual advisor, mentor, friend, you may want to look for one.

    I read a great little story this week. “In 1904 William Borden, heir to the Borden Dairy Estate, graduated from a Chicago high school a millionaire. His parents gave him a trip around the world. Traveling through Asia, the Middle East, and Europe gave Borden a burden for the world’s hurting people. ...read more

    Waiting is essential to the spiritual life. But waiting as a disciple of Jesus is not an empty waiting. It is a waiting with a promise in our hearts that makes already present what we are waiting for.

    The Wait Is On Advent #1 Nov 27, 2011 Intro: What do the following have in common: • Doctor’s office • Holiday shopping • Connecting flights • Red light • Advent Can you guess? The answer is waiting, and that that is what we are going to explore together ...read more

     | 22,574 views

    Jonathan Edwards wrote “God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by it being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it…” The question before you is "Do you truly delight in God?"

    Delighting in God Psalm 37:4 "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart." Have you ever asked yourself - "Why was I created? What is the purpose of life?" In 1 Peter 4:11 we read. "That God in all things may be glorified." The chief end of man is to ...read more

    Seize The Day / Strike While The Iron Is Hot

    Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Oct 25, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,019 views

    There is an adage: "Strike while the iron is hot". When the time is right, you should act. You should seize the moment or you will lose your opportunity. We are called to be a witness and to bring others to Jesus. We need to strike when God gives us an opportunity.

    There is an adage ... that you may still hear at times even today: .... "Strike ... while the iron is hot". The saying is basically telling us .... that when the time is right... you should act... you should seize the moment ... or you will miss out ... on your opportunity. The adage ...read more

    Providence - God's Ongoing Work

    Contributed by Todd Catteau on Feb 22, 2022
     | 2,342 views

    Is God active in the world or a passive observer? The doctrine of Providence claims he is the former - the creator who is still sustaining the world and working in it to bring about his purposes. This sermon explores the ways He is active and the peace providence gives us.

    Providence Today I want to talk about God – shouldn’t surprise you since we are in church • He’s a being that the more you know the more you don’t know • God is knowable but incomprehensible • We will never totally understand everything about God but that shouldn’t keep us from knowing what we can ...read more

    In this message, we will see how the birth announcement of the King of Kings wasn’t delivered to the rich or royal, but it was instead delivered in the least expected place. It was delivered to some lowly shepherds.

    When people send out baby shower invitations, they primarily mail them to family and friends. I once saw a really funny movie, a comedy, where a couple sent out fake shower announcements when they weren’t really going to have a baby.
