A sermon examining the hope of restoration after a major failure.

WHEN JESUS PUTS YOU IN YOUR PLACE John 21:1-19 Most of us have been there, at some point in our lives we have stepped out of line and someone, somewhere “put us in our place”.

Christmas music tends to separate people into two camps: people tend to either love it or hate it. For those who hate it, they will often either just tune it out, or just turn the channel for this one time of year. Even for those who love Christmas music, it tends to be a one a year delicacy. ...read more

Recycling Our Pain Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2014

Our scripture for today falls into this category of verses I don’t understand when I first read them. Here it is. Happy are those who are persecuted.

“Recycling our Pain” Matthew 5:10 In my personal study of the gospels one of the things I have noticed is that some of the teachings of Jesus are just very difficult for us to follow. At times when we read them they don’t even make sense. For instance, Jesus said: • If ...read more

Is Everything Alright?

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 15, 2016

Many People Have Had Divine Opportunities That They Have Blown. Either they did not realize the significance of what they had or they knew but took it for granted. Gehazi the servant of Elisha is one of such examples. He trampled on a divine opportunity.

IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT? 2 KINGS 5:14-27: 14 So he (Naaman) went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy. 15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before ...read more

The Burden And Blessing Of Forgiving Others

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Feb 2, 2021

The gospel has made us all brothers and sisters, one in Christ Jesus. It has torn down whatever dividing walls used to stand between us, and it’s given us a reason to love and to forgive.

There are two sisters who aren’t speaking to one another because of things that happened, years ago: What does the gospel say to them? There’s a brother in the church who’s made a serious mistake: What does the gospel say to him, and those around him? There’s a whole congregation that needs ...read more

Living In The Light Lane Series

Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Feb 4, 2021

John uses familial, language (e.g., children, young men, and fathers) to talk about the fellowship/koinonia, the church. These are terms to describe Christian maturity. The church is energized by a flow of those in each stage of maturity.

Has Christianity been rejected by many based on a caricature which has been mistaken for the real thing? Perhaps! Yet, John calls us back home, to our foundation, to the fundamental matters of our faith. God uses John to help the church repair that which is broken, to correct the twisted ...read more

Valentine's Day 2021

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 13, 2021

This message is about love - not how the love the is generally expressed on Valentine's Day, but how it should be lived daily in the lives of Christians. If we love the way we are commanded to, the purchasing of a gift would never be needed to prove our love - it would be a bonus.

Valentine’s Day 2021 Scripture: John 3:16; First John 4:8 & 16; First Corinthians 13 Good morning New Light.

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Feb 14, 2021

The Transfiguration of Christ was the greatest “mountaintop experience” in history. Interestingly, Mark presents the story like a deeply moving movie: There’s a preview, the main attraction and after-movie conversation. This sermon examines the Transfiguration.
