    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,296 views

    We make disciples by telling others about our Jesus. But how do we do that, and what does it look like when we do?

    For years, they say there was a Divinity School that would invite people to pack a sack lunch and join them on a grassy picnic area where they’d have a prominent theologian give a lecture about God. One year they invited a liberal scholar to come speak and he spoke for 2 ½ hours telling the ...read more

     | 3,603 views

    In this exposition of Zechariah 10:5-12, God's promise to restore and reunite the northern 10 tribes with the southern 2 tribes is explored. Who are the Lost Tribes of Israel and how will they be restored to their homeland?

    Intro Our text last week was Zechariah 10:1-4. For context, we will begin by reading that passage. “Ask the LORD for rain in the springtime; it is the LORD who sends the thunderstorms. He gives showers of rain to all people, and plants of the field to everyone. 2 The idols speak deceitfully, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 168 views

    When King Balak approached the Prophet Balaam with a request that was in contradiction to God’s will and allured him with gifts, Balaam was in dilemma if he should obey God or Balak. May we too not lose focus, but do the will of God and be in partnership with the right

    For today’s meditation we will consider Numbers 22:6, “Please come and curse these people for me, because they are too strong for me. Maybe then I'll be able to defeat them and force them out of the country. I know that whomever you bless is blessed and whomever you curse is cursed." ...read more

    God Will Be With You

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 22, 2025

     | 346 views

    All through the bible we read and understand that God called people, but He also assured them that He would be with them. Irrespective of what our issues or situations are, we can hold on knowing with the assurance that the loving Lord Jesus will never leave us nor forsake us.

    For today’s meditation we will read Joshua 1:5, “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.” (ESV) This were the words of God to Joshua as he assured him that He would be with him just as ...read more

    Sermon # 22 - God's Divine Presence Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,522 views

    All through the bible the Angel of the Lord appeared to God’s chosen ones to strengthen them and encourage them with His divine presence. No matter what we are going through God’s presence is more than enough to handle all of it to come forth victorious.

    Gideon encounters the Angel of the LORD In Judges 6:16 we read, Then the Lord said to him, Truly, I will be with you, and you will overcome the Midianites as if they were one man. (BBE) As we studied in the previous chapter, the word of the Lord came to Gideon in Judges 6:16, when the Israelites ...read more

    Peace On Earth Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 25, 2016
    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,227 views

    Jesus was born to bring us peace - that's what Isaiah declared and angels sang. But what does that mean? What kind of peace did Jesus come to give me, and how can I receive it?

    The past few weeks we’ve been looking at the gifts Jesus was born to give us. This week, we’re focusing on the gift of “peace” and (because today is Christmas) I wanted to start the sermon with a Christmas Carol that had peace as part of its message. But as I searched ...read more

    Sibling Rivalry Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 23, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,543 views

    Sibling rivalry starts with one person feeling they've been slighted. They deserved to be treated better. And expect this kind of rivalry in children - it's when we become adults that this desire to "be the star" can destroy families, churches and relationships.

    OPEN: Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVI2fX-1uPU That clip was from a popular TV series called “This Is Us” where a couple of the main actors (brothers Kevin and Randall) get into a fight. The scene is an excellent example of a common conflict most families experience called ...read more

    The Kisses You Do Not Want Series

    based on 114 ratings
     | 36,703 views

    Even back in Bible times (where they did a lot of kissing) there were certain kisses you didn’t want. And the worst kisses were those of enemies and betrayers. How did God say we should deal with people who attempt to deceive as those would?

    (A Poem) Oh, innocent victims of Cupid, Remember this terse little verse To let a fool kiss you is stupid But to let a kiss fool you is worse. (Readers Digest 2/77 p.103) As I noted a couple of weeks ago, the Bible is just filled with kissing. They did a whole lot more kissing back then than we ...read more

    We look here at a lot of quotes to try to understand the distorted and wicked thinking of Liberals. They operate in a lot of areas with three prominent ones - denial of and attack on the scriptures, promotion of abortion/homosexuality, and to implement socialist beliefs.

    Why Do I Need Church?

     | 19,672 views

    Jesus built HIS church out of flesh and blood. He took sinful, selfish and self centered people and created a church that would last forever. But how could He make a world changing church out of such useless material? Preached at Unity Service

    OPEN: About 9 yrs ago, the Russian Orthodox Church had a 200 year old Church Building that had fallen into disuse. They wanted refurbish and begin worship services there, but when they arrived at village where the church building was … it wasn’t there anymore. It had disappeared. It seems that some ...read more

    We are called to pass on the baton of our faith as we received it. This sermon reminds us that salvation is by faith in Jesus and nothing else.

    Sports days are upon us once again at our local schools and I had a sense of “been here before” when I was watching my son Matthew practising his sprinting and his baton changing in the relay races at the Junior School this week. Some of the baton changes were smooth and effective, others were slow ...read more

    Peacemakers are blessed, said Jesus. But they are not to be confused with 2 other kinds of people ... Peace-Breakers and Peace-Fakers.

    “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.” We live in a world that is filled with (characterized by) fighting and rivalry. Every level of society is affected. In the midst of such continual strife, God calls His people to be ‘peacemakers’. “Blessed are the ...read more
