    Contributed by Perry Greene on Sep 22, 2014
     | 7,735 views

    Recently we had an incident in worship that inadvertently evoked some strained relations within the congregation. This lesson deals with HOW to treat one another in such instances.

    1. Teamwork A traveler was driving along one day and had an accident. He drove his car into a ditch in a desolate area. A local farmer came by to help with his horse named Buddy.

    This sermon is the first for 2023, encouraging the congregation to take the opportunity of a new year to determine by God's grace to press in like never before to Jesus.

    Sermon for January 1, 2023 Fresh Grace for a New Year, Boundaries Series: Creation Welcome to 2023. Who knew we’d make to 2023. Isn’t that the future? I remember when it turned 1975, and I was 12 and I felt like changing to 1975 was this huge catapult into the future. I was so excited! That’s ...read more

    Practising Belonging Series

    What is expected of new believers? The answer to this question is revealed through examining the life of the first congregation after the body was flooded with a multitude of believers following Pentecost.

    “Those who received [Peter’s] word were baptized, and there were added [to the Faith] that day about three thousand souls. “And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs ...read more

    Spiritual Gangrene: Necrosis Of The Body Of Christ

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 3, 2020
     | 3,648 views

    Paul warns Timothy to avoid godless chatter because it will spread like gangrene. Sin, like gangrene, has a way of spreading and causing division in the congregation.

    When it comes to the church, church growth is naturally related to church health. Healthy churches, like healthy people, must grow. In his book, The Purpose Driven Church, Pastor Rick Warren says that if our church is healthy, attendance will be the least of our problems. He writes that ...read more

    I Have A Vision!

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 1, 2022
     | 2,619 views

    The assemblies of the Lord must recognise the marks of the false prophet and the false teacher. They must guard themselves against succumbing to the alluring message that leads to destruction of the congregation.

    The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: “Hear the word of the LORD!” Thus says the Lord GOD, Woe to the foolish prophets who follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! ...read more

    The Gifts Given

    Contributed by Matt Stacy on Sep 30, 2019
     | 3,820 views

    The congregation may understand that each of them, by virtue of being a believer, have a spiritual gift given to them and that they are expected to use them in a humble fashion. 

    Introduction: This scripture implores the reader to consider the fact that any grace that they have been given has been given to them by God. It tells us not to think too highly of ourselves. If you have an obvious gift from the Lord, it's not because you're extra spiritual. As a matter of ...read more

    Encourage the congregation to answer God's call to serve and work in His field, emphasizing that God equips those He calls, and there are great rewards in serving Him.

    Good morning, church family! I'm so glad to see all of you here today, ready to dive into the Word of God together. Let's turn our hearts and minds to Matthew 9:35-38. Here, we see Jesus reflecting on the need for willing workers in his harvest field, the bountiful rewards that come with serving ...read more

    When Is It Right To Be Contentious? Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 6, 2026
     | 288 views

    God entrusts defense of the Faith to members of the congregation of the Faithful. Each church member is to stand firm against error rather than depending upon specialists.

    “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.” When our children were young, we taught them a little rhyme. You may have recited it with your ...read more

     | 16,806 views

    Christ's message to the Church in Ephesus speaks to churches today that are beginning to lose their ardour. His message is a clarion call to stir up the flames, to stoke the fire.

    “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands. “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil but have tested those who call ...read more

    This is a "Great Commission" message that I have preached in the USA this year to congregations ranging from 700 to 2500 in Attendance. It has a bit of a post-modern twist to it.

    The Three “D’s” of Purpose Introduction: Of course some people here might we wondering, “WHY did pastor have a MISSIONARY come and speak here this MORNING/EVENING?” Illus: My Dad had a schoolmate from Bible College and he was known as the missionary who always preached the RIGHT length of ...read more

    How A Church Can Change For The Better

     | 41,883 views

    In this message, we explore five paradigm shifts that a church can make to have a better future. This is a kind of "halftime" talk from a pastor/coach to the congregation/team.

    To compete for a championship, during a game a great team has to make some adjustments. I sometimes think of the New Year as a kind of halftime. My personal internal calendar starts in August when the kids go back to school. The first semester is over. Now, it’s the halftime before the second ...read more

    Message for a Pastor appreciation service. What the members of the congregation need to do in order to profit the benefits God has for them. Are you under the influence of the Holy Ghost.

    “Under the Influence” By Elder Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. Matthew 8:9 When I think of the phrase “Under the Influence” my mind goes to two (2) different aspects that we normally associate with that phrase. The first aspect we automatically think of is D.U.I., Which is driving under the ...read more

    A message reminding the congregation of what the definition and purpose of true worship is; and what the benefits are to those who keep the many forms of worship in the center of their hearts and focus.

    Today’s message title is, "Here I Am To Worship." I love that song! In these short lyrics, we find the true heart of worship. ‘Here I am to worship; Here I am to bow down; Here I am to say that You’re my God!’ The first thing I want you to do this morning is lift both your feet off the ...read more
