    Imagine if a governing authority told you, you must travel on January 1 – no exceptions. Let’s say you were given a one-way plane ticket where you can travel first class. Immediately you are excited but in the midst of your packing you pause to ask, “Where am I going?”

     | 2,426 views

    Some people have turned ministry into a cash cow. Some people have just fleeced the sheep. Some people have completely overcompensated themselves, and they have found a great way to work the system.

    I’m excited about finishing 1 Corinthians with you. God willing, we’ll discuss divorce, singleness, the resurrection, idolatry, spiritual gifts, tongues, love, and money in the weeks to come as we move line by line, sentence by sentence through this New Testament letter. Remember, every word ...read more

    Turing Trials Into Triumphs Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021
     | 6,317 views

    The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

    A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2.

    The Bible And Abortion Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 5,306 views

    We believe life begins in the womb at conception. It is the only place in the universe where there is a new strand of DNA out of nowhere that is not the mother and is not the father.

    Today, I want to talk about the sanctity of human life and specifically abortion. This morning I want you to join me in a celebration of life. There is a widespread divide regarding the issue of abortion … people are not indifferent regarding this contested issue. Even now, bring the very word up ...read more

    Christmas: Jesus Came To Declare War Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,930 views

    The reason why I believe in Satan is because Jesus believed in Satan. Jesus said, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (Luke 10:18).

    I’m really glad God came up with the idea of Christmas. What did God have in mind when He created Christmas? Turn 1 John 3 (page 1303 in pew Bibles) What motivated God to bring Christmas to us? When we think about Christmas, we normally turn to passages inside our Bibles that tell us the story of ...read more

     | 4,728 views

    While Mary has enjoyed high status throughout the centuries, she was the subject of gossip in her day. Mary’s scandal is this: she was an unwed pregnant teenager and all the tongues were wagging were in her small, conservative town of Nazareth.

    As we move away from COVID restrictions this message was to remind folks why we worship in person

    I never thought I would see the day in Canada that Christians would be unable to come together, in person, to worship. Then again, I never imagined a Global Pandemic either. The joke with pastors is that we all skipped the class on pastoring in a pandemic. I’ve been asked many times if what we are ...read more

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,930 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

    How To Handle Temptation Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 29, 2021
     | 6,921 views

    James moves from how to handle trials to how to handle temptations. Even though temptation is inevitable and giving into temptation is inexcusable, we can learn that temptation is predictable and conquerable.

    Introduction: A. Once there was a little boy who always went next door to play alone in the neighbor’s yard even though his mom had warned him against doing so. 1.
