Sermon On The Widow's Mite

Contributed by William Meakin on Jul 2, 2024

The Widow’s Mite is regarded as a small contribution that is willingly given and is all one can afford.

Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett, a female British-American novelist and play-write once remarked: “If nature has made you for a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart; and though there may be times when your hands are empty, your heart is always full, and you can give things out of ...read more

David Rejected (1 Samuel 29)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 24, 2025

Have we ever been rejected and later found out that God had another purpose in it? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 29.

Can rejection be God’s blessing? Did David actually need to return home? When we are rejected do we look for God’s hand? Let’s begin in 1 Samuel 29.

Big Idea: We are God's prized possession! This sermon brings into focus several aspects of our identity in Christ and what it means for believers to be God's prized possession, as the Apostle Peter lays out in his first epistle.

INTRODUCTION Do you remember playing that “What do these things have in common?” game when you were younger?

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Mar 15, 2025

From Wretched To Blessed

Contributed by David Roth on Oct 5, 2020

The religious leaders of Isreal were removed from the kingdom of God because of their rejection of the prophets and of Christ. As Christians, Christ has placed us into His kingdom, that we would serve Him by handing over the fruits His righteousness produces.

J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “From wretched to blessed” Two weeks ago, we heard Jesus tell a parable about a vineyard, and how the owner of the vineyard paid the same wage ...read more

Christ’s Childhood Series

Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 22, 2011

As Christians, we have responsibilities on earth (family, work, school, society, etc…), but we must always remember where we ultimately belong (we are citizens of heaven)!

When Jesus Christ was on earth, He was fully man and fully God! This of course is a mystery, but it is truth. This is similar to the truth and mystery of God is One but exists in Three Persons. If Jesus Christ was fully man and fully God on earth, how was His growing up? God gives us a glimpse of ...read more

This is the cornerstone question behind finding your individual role within your local church and the Body of Christ as a whole.

“So, what do you do for the Lord?”, I asked Joe, a fellow believer and gung-ho Christian. “Brother, I do whatever the Lord asks me to do,” he confidently replied “Joe, pardon me for saying this,” I said, “but isn’t that a part of every Christian’s job?” Joe looked a bit puzzled, so I continued: “I ...read more

Follow The King

Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 17, 2025

When Christ is the cornerstone of the church and its foundation is the word of God in action, the church will grow and will weather the greatest storms.

As we spoke about the word “fear” last week, it doesn’t connote running from God because of dread but running to God, clinging to Him, loving, and serving Him. The fear or reverence of the Lord is our response to His love, His majesty, holiness, as well as His wrath. This kind of fear is not ...read more
