Unshakable Faith Series

Contributed by Perry Fowler on Jul 24, 2024

There are going to be times in life when you are trusting God and things do not make sense in our mind, but still stands strong in our heart. There will be times when things seem to be going in the wrong direction-- but you know God is leading the way. What gives us an unshakable faith?

Have you ever heard the phrase, “And they lived happily ever after”? Probably most people think this phrase originated from Walt Disney but actually the while the phrase was used, often it was not actually put into song by Disney until its 10th anniversary of Disney in 2017. The phrase actually ...read more

The Challenge

Contributed by David Tack on Nov 22, 2024

Second Timothy was a letter written by the Apostle Paul, who finds himself a prisoner confined in a Roman prison awaiting certain execution. Here, we find the Apostle challenging one of his young converts (Timothy) not to be timid because God gives the spirit of power, love and of a sound mind.

Like An Ox To The Slaughter Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 23, 2022

Wouldn't be nice if the choice we have to make in life where black and white, simple and clear cut ... but they aren't. In Proverbs 7, Solomon uses a 'spicy' way to discussing how Sin can be right up in our face and yet we can't see it ... until it's too late.

Last week we looked at Proverbs 9 in which Solomon contrasts Lady Wisdom with Lady Folly. Solomon attempts to make the choice between Wisdom and Folly as clear and as obvious as possible in the hopes of helping us to make the right choice. Would that it were that simple, amen, as making such an ...read more

The Lord Shows His Excellence In All The Earth

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 12, 2021

God’s excellence shines so clearly in all his works. The Lord could have crushed those who bore his image when we sinned, yet God was mindful of us. The glorious God who first stooped down to create us, then stooped down to save us through his only Son.

As we lead busy lives each week, we need to slow down. In the middle of the activity of work and school and home life and church life, we need to pause and ponder. For how often do we really think about who God is, who we are, and what to do with the few days on earth that God has given? It’s easy ...read more

Life In The Spirit Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jun 26, 2002

If we wonder whether we’re truly followers of Christ then this is one way God helps us: are our minds set on the things of God, is our failure to obey, something we struggle with, do we relate to God as our father, rather than someone distant and remote?

I keep coming across people who are struggling with whether their faith is real. People whose Christian experience is something like what Paul describes at the end of Romans 7. They struggle to believe that they could be truly God’s children when their life is so full of sin. If you’re one of those ...read more

Twenty-Three Areas Of Repentance

The Christian And The Human Family

Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 30, 2007

Living In Limbo

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jan 13, 2007

Too many of us are living in spiritual limbo because we have chosen to sit back and ‘let things happen’ or as we say “Let the cards fall where they may”. We often catch glimpses of what God has in mind for us but somehow the vision never becomes reality.

Michelle Collins of the Globe & Mail: When 26-year-old Geoff Emery put money down on his first condominium, he started looking forward to moving out of his mother’s house.

Temptations Series

Contributed by Steven Buhr on Jan 25, 2008

Jesus was tempted in three areas, as we are – Lust of the flesh (our body), lust of the eyes (our mind), pride of life (our soul). (1 John 2:16). He faced up to these temptations by knowing the scriptures. If we know our Bible, we can face up to the tempt

What Was Joseph Thinking?

Contributed by Steve Greene on Nov 29, 2006

What was Joseph thinking that night outside the stable. Have you ever thought about it? What would have been going through your mind? This message challenges us to do what Joseph did. He obeyed God even when it didn’t make sense.

What was Joseph Thinking? It may sound a little bit morbid to begin a message like this, but I have always told my wife, when I die, if she believes it can be said with integrity, I want my epitaph to include Genesis 6:22.
