    Because He Stayed: Why You Can Trust God

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 5, 2025
     | 238 views

    Jesus stayed on the cross when leaving was easier. His staying reveals God’s faithfulness, secures our salvation, and proves He can be trusted forever.

    Trust is a fragile thing. It rises slowly and breaks quickly. It is shaped by what we have lived through more than what we have learned. Many people want to trust God, and many say they do, but beneath the surface there is a tremble, a hesitation, a quiet fear that maybe God will treat them the ...read more

    The Crucifixion - The Ultimate Display Of God's Glory

     | 9,963 views

    A Good Friday sermon based on the crucifixion story from John’s gospel, where the ultimate glory of God is shown in the most improbably place, on the cross.

    And so we come to the crucifixion. The cross stands at the very heart of Christianity. It has come to symbolise Christianity the world over. We put crosses at the front of our churches, crosses on the top of our churches, we were jewelery in the shape of crosses and crosses form the cover art for ...read more

    In this message we look at 5 snapshots/pictures of the church. These snapshots help the listener see the NT church as it is intended to be.

    “The High Cost of Discipleship” Luke 14:25-35 I think that one of the most deceptive things we see in our world today are ads that tell us one thing but when we look closer there is a lot they are not telling us. Ads for cars are notorious for this. You’ve seen them. They advertise a car at one ...read more

     | 237 views

    In a world of social media influencers, self-proclaimed prophets, false teachers, and endless noise, we are bombarded with voices that claim to offer truth, hope, and direction. But not every voice is from God. Some may sound spiritual or wise, but they do not carry the authority of the Lord.

    Go! And Test the Prophets - Deuteronomy 18:22 Opening Scripture Deuteronomy 18:22 (NLT): “If the prophet speaks in the Lord’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the Lord did not give that message.

    We stand at the feet of Christ, guilty of the sin that precipitated those feet being nailed to the cross. But those wounds also mean forgiveness, grace, and healing.

    The Feet of Christ Luke 7:36-50 First Sunday in Lent March 5, 2006 Feet. We don’t think too much about our feet, do we? We pretty much take them for granted…that is unless they start to cause us trouble…blister on our heel, a corn on our little toe, an ingrown toenail. Pretty much though, we ...read more

    Jesus’ love is fearless and protective, as a hen gathers her chicks. He wants us to seek His love and we have the power to choose–if we are willing.

    When you know you’re going to have a bad day, affirm God’s justice; affirm God’s authority; and affirm God’s mercy. It will help you get through the day.

    According to a recent survey, the average American knows their day is going to be bad by 8:36 a.m. in the morning. For example, they say, “You know you’re going to have a bad day if you wake up feeling sick (35%), if you suffer from poor sleep (31%), or if you start the day with a headache (29%).” ...read more

     | 5,245 views

    It is by our genuine obedient faith in Jesus and His atoning work on the cross that makes us free. When we surrender our life to Jesus and His death on the cross which paid for our sins, we can be really free. This freedom supersedes anything any nation or people can provide for us.

    The cross, especially in the day of Jesus, stood for persecution; it stood for suffering; it stood for death. So anyone who elected to follow Christ-they knew what they were getting into. If anyone would come after me you must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
