Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Aug 19, 2019

This is the 20th sermon in a series we've been doing on John's Gospel. In this sermon we focus on seeking Jesus as He is the greatest treasure, the only meaningful gift, not necessarily what He gives us, but He, Himself.

False Conversion And Its Rotten Harvest

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2021

The Lord Jesus warns that not everyone who calls Him, "LORD" is truly His servant. Works done in His name do not necessarily demonstrate a genuine love for Him. This is a terrifying illustration of false conversion, and what to do about it before it is too late.

The True Vine Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus the True Vine is the Only source of spiritual life. For us to know if we are a true disciple or a fake disciple we need recognise the difference between the Father bringing us through a difficult pruning process, or the Father cutting us off.
