Joy At Christmas Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Dec 20, 2025

This sermon proclaims that the true joy of Christmas is not found in changing circumstances or earthly comfort, but in the unshakable, eternal joy that comes from God drawing near in Christ—who lived, suffered, died, and rose again to secure our salvation and remain with us through every trial.

To begin our discussion this morning, let’s do a quick, informal congregational survey. I’m going to describe a few scenarios. If the scenario brings you joy, give me a thumbs up. If it brings discomfort, frustration, or sorrow—give me a thumbs down. Just respond honestly. First scenario: ...read more

Nothing You Can Do To Make God Love You More Or Less

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 25, 2024

Recently I have been hearing quite a few pastors using a quote from Henri Nouwen a Dutch Catholic priest that states, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more and nothing we can do to make God love us less.” Is that true? Let's see what God's Word has to say about it.

Do you have a Bible? I was once told that in a simple Bible with no maps, no apocrypha and no commentary you would find the Psalms in the center of the Bible. So, I thought maybe it would be Psalm 119 since it has 174 verses and is the longest chapter in the Bible. However, in my Bible it turns out ...read more

Set Apart For God

Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Oct 13, 2024

If we don’t set ourselves apart, we are doomed to be no different from wordly people. If we contine to conform with the world, we will be lukewarm Christians.

Please bring out your bibles. Or your bible app? And if you don’t have one, please feel free to get a bible in the back or to share with your seatmate. I would really prefer that you use a real bible, why – because the real bible doesn’t have any other applications inside the book. It doesn’t have ...read more

Ang Panalangin Ng Pagsisisi: Paano Humingi Ng Kapatawaran Sa Araw-Araw Na Pamumuhay Kristiyano

Contributed by Jephthah Fameronag on May 14, 2025

Ang paksa ay kinuha mula mismo sa panalanging itinuro ng Panginoong Hesus sa Mateo 6:12, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” Minsan iniisip ng ilan na sapat na ang minsang paghingi ng kapatawaran noong tayo ay naligtas — ngunit hindi iyon ang itinuturo ng Biblia.

Sermon 11 - Investing Your Life In Reaching People Series

Contributed by David Owens on May 19, 2025

The mission for all disciples of Jesus includes helping others become followers of Jesus. We are to be "fishers of men" and help others learn to do the same.

Do I Want God To Forgive Me As I Forgive Others? Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 20, 2025

Jesus puts forward challenging words in the second half of v. 12 - calling us to ask for forgiveness in the same way we have forgiven others. Verses 14-15 emphasize the expectation from God that we will forgive others as part of having been forgiven by Him. What happens when we live this out?

DOES THIS SCARE ME? Do I want God to forgive me as I forgive others? - Matthew 6:12b, 14-15. - I said last week as we unpacked the first half of v. 12 that we often don’t put a lot of thought into what that actually means. In that case it had to do with making confession of our sins a regular ...read more

Good morning church and welcome to a unique moment. Today, we're not just speaking to everyday life—we're speaking to the road, the trail, and the race. Let me ask you something: Have you ever run past a water station and immediately regretted it? You’re feeling strong, a bit proud even, ...read more

Murder Mystery Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. I'll wager there's not one person in this room who doesn't take at least one good look at him or herself in the mirror every day. Maybe you don't care much. But you ...read more
