Big Life Little Life - Mark 15:1-15 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on May 22, 2024

What is it about the natural human heart that prefers someone like Barabbas to Jesus? If we don’t know the answer to that question, we’ll miss one of the most important messages of the whole book of Mark. And when it comes to a choice, we’ll make the wrong decision too.

Finding Yourself: A Divine Inquiry SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 9, 2023

When God asked Adam 'Where art thou', He wasn't seeking his location, but prompting Adam to understand his own state. Today, He continues to pose the same question 'Where art thou', urging us to introspect and realize our own condition.

Today, we will explore the significance of God's question to Adam in the Garden of Eden. This question goes beyond simply asking for Adam's location; it serves to make him aware of his condition. Even today, God continues to ask us the same question: "Where are you?" When God called out to Adam and ...read more

Sermon Title: When Friends Turn Away And People Walk Away: By Pastor Joseph Ondu

Contributed by Joseph Ondu on Jul 23, 2025

Brothers and sisters, We live in a world where relationships are fragile. One day people are with you, and the next, they are gone. The pain of abandonment, betrayal, or silent withdrawal can cut deeper than a knife. It can leave you questioning your worth, your calling, and even your faith.

Sermon # 43 - Know God's Will And Do God's Work Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 7, 2025

There are two groups of people that Jesus spoke about. One who may initially reject God, but later repent and truly turn to God. The other group are those who claim to follow Jesus, but are dichotomous and far from doing the will of God. The question is, ‘Where do we stand?’

We read in Proverbs 22:29, “Do you see a person who is efficient in his work? He will serve kings.

Sermon # 47 - The Chosen Few Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 26, 2025

Though a majority followed Jesus, there were only a chosen few who in total obedience fulfilled the Great Commission. All through the bible God worked mighty wonders through a few faithful men and women. The question is, “Are we part of God’s chosen few?”

For our meditation today we will look at Luke 14:25, “Now a great number of people went with him.” (BBE) There was a multitude of people who followed Jesus while He was here on earth. Though these people were from various vocations, they set them aside, to follow Jesus as He travelled and preached ...read more
