Let me start with a confession. I’m not much of a handyman. I try. I really do.

Procuring God’s Peace

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 10, 2018

This sermon is part of our spiritual first aid series and it looks at how we go about procuring God's peace for our lives. We look at having peace with God and the peace of God, and how we have peace through God's word and forgiveness.

God Of Grace And God Of Glory Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

Have you ever been in a relationship with someone and it seemed like you could not please them? That’s somewhat true of God, because if you try on the basis of your own behavior to earn God’s approval or his glory, you’ll miss the target every time.

INTRODUCTION People often say about others, “To know him is to love him!” This is really true of Jesus. To know Jesus is to love him. If you know him, you love him. If you don’t know him, you can’t love him until you do know him. I hope today you will meet him if you ...read more

Fearing Fear

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 15, 2010

Delivered 1986. Fear is often a self-fulfilling prophecy, based on our image of a vengeful God. But challenging God is faith-filled, and His response is Jesus, who experiences all that we experience.
