     | 5,408 views

    The deepest desires of our hearts are meant to be met as we experience God's glory, but fulfillment of our desires has often been hijacked by cheap imitations provided by our culture.

    In preparation for today’s message, continuing our exploration of the glory of God, I read a sermon by CS Lewis entitled “The Weight of Glory”. And it launched me down a path that I am going to attempt to describe, and hope that you might accompany me on, this morning. Now, the ...read more

    The Curse Of Death - Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Nov 24, 2021
     | 1,485 views

    There are a number of repercussions instituted by God as a result of the fall. Most movements in our culture today are opposition to this curse. What we fail to understand as a society is the masterful weaving of grace in the curse.

     | 2,208 views

    Church congregations need to withstand storms: changes in membership, changes in leadership, differing political situations, changes in culture, and a host of potential challenges. Church congregations need to be strengthened and reinforced.

    Built to Last (Romans 16:1-27) Intro 1. My kids just got a puppy that is scared of every appliance in the house, but one in particular. I suggested they name the dog, “Nature.” Because nature abhors a vacuum. 2. Appliances are not what they used to be. Old appliances were built to last. 3. We had ...read more

    Explore the joy of singing, praying, and reading the Scriptures as forms of worship, and to encourage believers to express their faith in ways that reflect the Christ within them more than the culture around them.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. It's a blessing to gather here together with joyful hearts to praise our Lord. I'm reminded of a quote from A.W. Tozer, who once said that, "Worship is no longer worship when it reflects the culture around us more than the Christ within us." Today, ...read more

    We live in a world made with many different peoples, languages and cultures. Among these people are different religions. The diversities are too great to fathom the idea of one people.

    So much of what comes “naturally” to us is shaped by sin, self, and the culture around us. But what the Holy Spirit compels us to do—that is divine wisdom at work.

    Go! And Walk in Godly Wisdom - James 3:13–18 (A Sermon in the “Go! And…” Series) Introduction Good morning, Church. Today I want to begin with a quote from Dr Charles Stanley.

    Within these verses, Jesus paints a picture of a father whose character and attributes transcend time and culture, providing a model for all who desire to nurture, guide, and love with depth and grace.

    On Father’s Day, as we pause to celebrate and honour the men who help shape our lives, the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15:11-32 (KJV) offers a profound portrait of fatherhood.

     | 101 views

    How should we live in a world that is hostile to Christianity? Not by adopting the culture around us uncritically, nor by rejecting the world completely, but by engaging with the world while guarding against sin.

    This morning, we continue with our study of First Peter. As a reminder, 1 Peter is a general epistle, meaning that it was a letter written to Christians in general, rather than to a specific church body. The first verse of the letter tells us that it was written: “To God’s elect, exiles scattered ...read more
