    Harmony And Fire

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 19, 2022
     | 2,369 views

    Luke 12:49-53 is paradoxical. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in this passage, He says He is bringing division. This sermon explores how this fits with the overall message of Luke.

    Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, ...read more

    A Living Wage Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 28, 2022
     | 1,409 views

    There’s a difference between dead-end religion and living faith.

    I expect the issue of minimum wage will come up in Congress again this year. There are good arguments on both sides - Those who are in favor of raising it will argue, rightly, that you can’t support a family on a minimum wage job, and that people who “work hard and play by the rules” should be able ...read more

    Mary and Joseph have different perspectives about Mary's pregnancy

    A Christmas Perspective Matthew 1:19-25 & Luke 1:26-38 Good Morning… The dictionary defines perspective as a particular attitude toward or a way of regarding something; or a point of view.

    In 2021 bread is seen as simply a side and not a staple, what did it mean when Jesus said, I am the Bread of Life.

    When I was a child, our family lived in Germany and the bread was dark and coarse. When we moved home to Canada my image of bread became my Grandmother’s home-made bread enjoyed warm with homemade strawberry jam and a slice of old cheddar cheese. During my teen years, bread was used as a figure ...read more

    One of the greatest hindrances you will encounter in your Christian walk is that of the religious spirit. Religious spirits endeavor to interfere with the free flow of the Holy Spirit in our lives.

    Jesus teaches that the things that defile a person are the things that come from the heart. This sermon offers four habits to be cultivated as means of grace to allow the Spirit room to root out the sin that lurks within our hearts.

    It Came From Within Introduction Growing up spending many days at my grandfather's home we watched television a lot. While I was a child of the 80s, we also watched old films. There were those that put my young mind in suspense with titles like The Creature From the Black Lagoon and It Came ...read more

    John 6 (3) Where is Jesus when times are tough? When I was in high school, my parents bought a boat. I guess it was because my dad’s parents had boats when he was young and he wanted us to share some of the same experiences. Any of you who have ever owned a boat, know that if you have one, you ...read more

    Don’t compromise in your commitment to the Lord nor with the godless culture that surrounds you, lest you be consumed by it.

    There is an old Russian parable about a hunter who came to a clearing and encountered a bear. The hunter raised his rifle to shoot when the bear said, “Wait, what do you want?” The hunter replied, “A fur coat.” “That’s reasonable,” answered the bear. “I want a full stomach. Let’s sit down and ...read more

    When an opportunity for revenge arrived on Joseph's doorstep, we see in him a level of faith and confidence in the sovereignty of God that can inspire us all to greater faith in God.

    We have been studying the life of an Old Testament character by the name of Joseph. Joseph’s story is filled with such emotion. He encountered all kinds of turmoil. And yet, Joseph navigated every situation with absolute faith in God. Joseph’s story reminds us that… Sometimes God may seem ...read more

    An Altered Gospel Is Creeping Into The Church

    There are far too many people standing in the pulpit who are teaching false doctrine. What we’re seeing in the Church today was prophesied more than 50 years ago. This message looks at a portion of that prophecy.

    In February, I saw a short videoclip of a young, charismatic pastor preaching to members of his congregation. I want you to listen to what he said. “I don’t beat nobody up for smoking, drinking and having sex and doing all that, not because I did it, but because I can relate. I can relate. If you ...read more
