Hearts Of Stone Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 13, 2022

There are several places in the Bible where God has promised to give us new hearts … hearts for Him alone … but in order for Him to give us new hearts, hearts of flesh, hearts for Him alone, He has to break our hearts of stone.

[Note: The theme for this Lenten series is "stone." I have stones at the church and each week the people are asked to pick up a stone and hold it during the service and then place it at the foot of a wooden cross placed at the front of the sanctuary. Each stone has a meaning. On the ...read more

Drop It Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022

I stand before you this morning a condemned man … every bit as guilty as that poor woman caught in the act of adultery. I don’t know whether or not Jesus wrote their sins in the sand but He certainly knows my many sins and I do know that my sins were swept away that day on the cross.

[Pick up little stone.] Yeah … there’s been a lot of jokes about the risk I’m taking by handing out stones before the sermon. Look at the stone in your hand. Yeah … getting hit by a rock this size could hurt … especially if it hit me in the head or hit me in the eye or something, amen? I guess ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2022

Gangs can make you quite the offer: power, wealth, and community. But join, and you'll end up dead. The passage turns into a broader appeal to avoid ill-gotten gains.

Introduction Although my wife Heidi and I have been married for less than 5 years, we’ve moved a lot in that time period. We’ve lived in three states, 3 apartments, and two houses, and we feel a bit like gypsies without a real home. Heidi and I met up in Manitoba at Providence Bible College. ...read more

A Next Generation Prayer Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 17, 2021

Notice that this prayer puts the spiritual before the physical. The Bible always places your spiritual health before your physical health. We are always doing the opposite. We nearly always talk about physical problems – money problems, marriage problems, and health problems.

A Sacrificial Heart

A Christian’s heart is a sacrificial heart. It’s a heart that offers God the whole of who we are because of Jesus’s sacrifice, giving His life as a sacrifice for our sins.
