    Pastor Jon continues his study through Hebrews, looking at ways in which the New Covenant in Jesus fulfills the Old Covenant.

    If you were with us last week, you remember hearing about how Abram (later called Abraham) chased after the kings and their armies after they defeated Sodom and captured Lot.

     | 12,065 views

    Last Sunday we had a gender reveal party to find out if we’re having a boy or a girl in April. I was so convinced it was a boy, based on how different the first trimester had been this time around. But then, with friends gathered around, we popped a large black balloon with question marks all over ...read more

    If you want to be free from a guilty conscience, don’t depend on restrictive religion, which is limited by its procedures, its place, its people, and its purifying power.

    Two neighbor boys were the best of friends on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Sunday, however, they didn’t talk to each other, because one was a Catholic and the other was a Baptist. Their parents were concerned, so they agreed to let their sons visit each other’s ...read more

    Why do churches practise Baptism? From where does it come?

    Eighteen months after Leni and I were married we went on a bit of a world tour. We visited places that were important in our development as people. Leni took me to Greece, to see the places where we parents came from. I took Leni to South Africa, where my mother was from and the place where I ...read more

    Living Sacrifices

    based on 61 ratings
     | 9,583 views

    This is the 6th sermon in a series on Paul’s letter to the Romans. The problem with living sacrifices is they keep getting down off the altar.

    “living sacrifices” Now that’s an interesting turn of phrase. It sounds like an oxymoron. Living and sacrifice don’t really seem like they go together, do they? When I think of the word ‘sacrifice’, certain images come to mind. I think of a play made in baseball, where one player is tagged out ...read more

    There Is A Generation

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on May 11, 2008
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,326 views

    There is a generation that does not bless their mother. Let it never be said of the people of God that we failed to bless our mothers.

    There is a Generation Proverbs 30:11–14 In this passage, a literal translation of the phrase that begins each verse is "there is a generation." Among the bad things that typify Agur’s generation is a general dishonoring of parents. We can get a feel for the severity of the situation by looking ...read more

    Jesus confronts Pharisaic tradition.

    Acceptable Worshi) Mark 7:1-23 INTRO.: As we read the second through the seventh chapters of the Gospel of Mark, it seems to me there is a major emphasis on the controversy between the Pharisees and Jesus.
