    Three Things To Remember This Mother's Day

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on May 10, 2015
     | 10,608 views

    In this message, we will study closely the right attitude to our mothers, how we express our appreciation to them and the result when we honor them. The more we express our love and appreciation to our mothers, the longer our lives will be on earth.

    Exodus 20:12 (NIV) "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you." There are three things we are going to talk about from this verse: 1. What is the right kind of attitude we need to show towards our father and mother? We are to HONOR ...read more

     | 11,180 views

    Confessing sin is more than just speaking words; it may involve a broken heart. The mature Christian and those living close to God, recognize that their sin is degrading and offensive to a Holy God. Deep sorrow will flow from the heart when sin is confe

    Memorial For A Dear Friend

    Contributed by Michael Stark on May 11, 2017
     | 12,495 views

    A funeral message delivered on the death of a close friend. Though a good woman, she never professed Christ, nor did her family confess the Saviour. Nevertheless, they were good to me over a long period of time, showing respect for the Faith of Christ.

    “Just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him” [HEBREWS 9:27, 28]. Among the most difficult services over ...read more

     | 4,172 views

    This was a message for a unique worship service. A little country church that closed its doors years ago, and now just has one service a year. This was a Memorial service for all those who had died from the community over the previous 40 years.

    TOUCHED BY OTHERS AND THE PASSING OF TIME Mark 14:1-11 INTRODUCTION: 1.) Today is certainly a special time as we assemble to remember the lives and contributions of members of this community who over the years have gone to be with the Lord. 2.)

    The Rejected God

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,819 views

    We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.

    [Sermon preached on 4 March 2018, 3rd Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] It is so endearing at times to see little children in a big supermarket or shopping mall. They come in with mom or dad, but as soon as they see something interesting—toys, candies, pets, or anything else that ...read more

     | 3,452 views

    Part 2 of "I am the Good Shepherd" looks at what the good shepherd does and then Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Then we examine Jesus as The Sacrificial Shepherd who gave His life to save the sheep. To close, Jesus is the Chief Shepherd.

    “I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD” – HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE - John 10 – PART 2 The study of the great “I AMs” of John’s Gospel is so lovely as we look at the Person and Ministry of our Lord Jesus. In all His offices He is serving His Church and all the individuals in the Church. Those are termed sheep, and ...read more

    As the body of Christ today, sometimes we feel like the 300 at Thermopylae don’t we? It often seems like the darkness is closing in on all sides, particularly in the west. New forms of evil on every side seem to grow and spread like locusts

    The Danger Of Following From Afar (Peter's Story)

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 11, 2025
     | 383 views

    Peter’s story is a powerful warning and an encouraging reminder. Though he followed from afar and fell, he also found restoration. Let us not be casual in our walk with God. A distant walk leads to disaster, but a close walk leads to destiny.

Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Matthew 26:57–75 “But Peter followed Him afar off unto the high priest’s palace, and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.” – Matthew 26:58 (KJV) Supporting Texts: Luke 22:54–62, John 18:15–18, ...read more

     | 382 views

    The Lord wants all of us to be in close fellowship with Him. And in the New Covenant relationship we have with Jesus, our time around the communion table as we partake in the Lord's Supper is a high point connecting us with Jesus in a special way.

    We have the tendency to fall apart during difficulties in our lives and not able to see beyond them as Nahum was able to see far beyond what his eyes and emotions were able to see. He had a deeper appreciation of God’s Grace.
