     | 5,933 views

    Accept no substitute. Jesus Christ has no equal

    In the last few weeks, people searched for the perfect Christmas gift, hunted for bargains, decorated their homes, burned candles, over-ate, wrapped some packages and tore others open; and by tomorrow morning stores will fill again, as the gift return season begins. Sad, isn’t it? It is so easy ...read more

     | 6,155 views

    In Matthew 22 Jesus actually gives us the secret of life that so many search for.

    What is the secret of life? Have you ever been asked that question? Or maybe you have asked that question yourself in one of those kind of quiet, contemplative moments in your life. Maybe one crystal clear summer night you were lying on your back on the grass looking up at the millions of stars ...read more

    When Foolishness Becomes Creative Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 10, 2014
     | 4,273 views

    Foolishness is not just a general concept, it shows itself in concrete situations, like the three we will examine this morning.

    When Foolishness Becomes Creative (Proverbs 22:13-14, 16) 1. Sometimes you wonder how some creative people could have such little sense. 2. A New York fugitive that jumped bail and fled from one of upstate New York’s biggest pot busts in history has been caught in Oregon after 20 ...read more

    The God Who Runs

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 6, 2014
     | 5,707 views

    A perspective on Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32. The loving father does he wait for a lengthy and rehearsed apology from his returning son. He sees him coming in the distance and with joy runs out to greet him. In this way he brings honour again to his son.

    Luke 15: 1-3, 11b-32 The God Who Runs God loves to have a party. He has been known to host the best and biggest celebrations in heaven whenever a sinner turns around from following their own desires and decides to come home to God. Everyone is invited to celebrate. Our parable today is not so ...read more

     | 7,988 views

    For the disciples, the death of Jesus appeared to be the death of all their hopes and dreams, but those who lived through both Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday never doubted God again. Easter transformed them and the world.

    “From Grief to Joy”, John 16:16-22 -Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts (Easter Sunday 2015) Tomb, you shall not hold Him longer.

    Great trails extend between cities, connecting people, and we drive from here to there traveling the roads. We go from here to there, day in and day out. Trees roll across the horizon.

    The Perils Of Contentment

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 14, 2014
     | 2,896 views

    Contentment is a trap, because it keeps us from growing in ability and interior commitment.

    Recently we were viewing one of the original episodes of the Twilight Zone. A successful but elderly actor was ruminating over his long career, and his multiple marriages, and told his butler a secret. He said that in his whole life, he had only one length of time in which he had felt true ...read more

    Do We Have A Clean House This Easter? Series

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Mar 12, 2010
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,746 views

    Jesus twice clean the temple. This message looks at "our house" and asks the question, "Is our house clean?" One interesting point is that the temple had become a den of thieves. Often our attitude robs ourselves or others from worship.

    A Voice From The Beach

    Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 29, 2014
     | 6,844 views

    A perspective on John 21: 1-14. Like the disciples in the boat who listened to the voice of a ‘stranger’ from the beach, somehow you too will know at the right time where to ‘cast the net.’ At that time, you too will say with joy, “It is the Lord.”

    John 21: 1-14 A Voice From The Beach The Gospel according to John closes with one more miracle given by Jesus. Although it is the final miracle recorded in the Gospel, it is the first of his resurrected life. It happened this way: Some of the disciples of Jesus were sitting about on the shore by ...read more
