    Training Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 28, 2022
     | 2,039 views

    The focus of this sermon is to help the congregants get sold on the idea that training is a regular part of the Christian life. It is difficult to engage in any sort of intensive training activity unless you are convinced that there is a need for that.

    Debbie and I were blessed to be able to end our vacation on a seven-day cruise through the western Caribbean. Here is a picture of us enjoying dinner in the ship. It was a very enjoyable time. We actually got to swim with stingrays. But, you know what, all that food and sun and swimming is a ...read more

    God has an arsenal of tools or weapons at His disposal to mold and shape believers, as well as to draw unbelievers to Himself. This arsenal might even include bigger and better rattlesnakes.

    The Fellowship Of The Church

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Jul 20, 2007
    based on 40 ratings
     | 14,157 views

    The fellowship of the church is critical for our growth. Fellowship is all about relationships, not activity. God is in the fellowship. It is about the meeting of needs.

    The moment we come to know Christ, we are connected. • We are members of God’s household. • Verse 21: “…the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.” • Verse 22 “you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.” This ...read more

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2015
     | 3,739 views

    The traditional vows between a man and a woman at the time of marriage are beautiful and full of self abandonment and commitment. We who are in the Church, are there because of a mutual commitment between Christ and ourselves, like marriage.

    Marriage - what a wonderful creation of God! Just yesterday Pastor Karenlee and I were privileged to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our friends who live in Rochester! May the Lord bless their union and their lives. Jesus Himself believed in marriage. Listen to what He told the Pharisees ...read more

    What is church? If I asked you that question this morning how would you answer? In just one word – what would you say? Boring, irrelevant, out of date, hypocritical – or would you say that it is a place of joy, hope, love, companionship, caring?

    On Sunday 31 May – which was Pentecost Sunday, the BBC showed a service from Kingsgate Community Church in Peterborough. It’s quite a large, dynamic, vibrant church and they were holding a baptismal service. The following day, Chris Moyles, who is a Radio 1 DJ who presents the breakfast show ...read more
