Contributed by Guy Glass on Aug 5, 2005

This message, though, not part of the mini-series on marriage builds from a principle revealed in that series - "We do not know what God is going to do". Hence, we need to look at where we are as an opportunity, not a stepping stone

The Narrow Door

Contributed by David Nichols on May 28, 2009

Jesus calls us to walk the narrow way; that’s positively countercultural.

Danger Of Unbelief

Contributed by Nicky Evans on Jul 18, 2011

In this sermon we briefly examine the greatest hindrance to God's plan for our lives.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, God has a plan and a purpose for each one of us in this room. God doesn't choose, call and save a soul JUST to leave him/her sit it out on the sidelines to just attend Church every week. No, He has a plan for each one of us, young or old. We, the Church, ...read more

Paul's Song Series

Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Oct 12, 2017
