    Seven Days To Revival

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 25, 2021
     | 3,130 views

    We look at 3 key turning points in Scripture. We have the choice of living in a backslidden state or to take definite steps to change, to decide "I will have more of God and God will have more of me!"

    SEVEN DAYS TO REVIVAL INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It happened at an Amazon Call center. The manager was walking down a line of cubicles listening as the phone staff fielded orders for products. 2. He stopped when he overheard one say to a customer, “No ma’am, we haven’t had any for weeks now, ...read more

    Gathering For Encouragement Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 2, 2021
     | 5,374 views

    Hebrews 12:1 tells us to 'run with endurance'. Only long races need endurance - marathons, for example. In a marathon, encouragement makes all the difference. The Christian life can be tough. We need encouragement and we need to encourage others.

    Today we’re starting a new series. We will have four talks on the theme of ‘Why we gather’. Last Sunday we met back at church after sixteen months of having our morning services online. That’s a significant moment. But something else has been happening. About four months ago we started a new ...read more

    Preserved, Not Pickled

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 8, 2021
     | 4,434 views

    When canning fruits and vegetables, there have always been two primary ways to preserve them: as preserves, or pickled. The difference? Preserves are sweet but pickled things are sour. Which are you?

    PRESERVED, NOT PICKLED Ps. 121:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Week after week, a man came to his preacher with a big problem. He said, “When I go to bed, I can’t sleep because I’m afraid of monsters under my bed. I know it’s silly, but I can’t help it.” 2. His preacher recommended prayer, ...read more

    Did the walls of Jericho actually fall? (hint: yes they did) And if they did, what can that tell us about God's power and of our faith in Him?

    Children’s moment – a short clip from Veggie Tales “Josh And The Big Wall” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDpM_j1MZG8&t=11s PRAYER/SCRIPTURE OPEN: I love reading Bible Stories to my grandson.

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 17, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,652 views

    The words of Jesus about ‘eating His flesh and drinking His blood’ have caused a lot of misunderstandings and divisions. But the all-knowing God is really checking to see if we will trust Him even if we don't understand!

    THE TEST OF THE BREAD OF LIFE John 6:56-69 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A new chaplain was hired for a prison unit. He was excited to preach his first Sunday service in the prison, but he was also very nervous. He didn’t want to say the wrong thing. 2. On Sunday morning he arrived at the prison. ...read more

    A Tree Planted By Water

    Contributed by Rev. Duraimony Dickson on Aug 27, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,326 views

    God wants us as believers to be fruit bearing as a tree planted by water. To bear fruit while we are going through our desert experience, and to not be anxious in a year of drought.

    A Tree Planted by Water Jeremiah chapter 17:5-8 talks about two different people. A man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, and a man who trusts in the Lord. In our lives, all of us have experienced a desert, either you are in a desert now or have experienced one before. When we speak ...read more

    Paul calls the Philippians to stand firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel. His relationship with the church in Philippi illustrates what he's talking about. It's challenging!

    [INTRODUCTION AND RECAP] We’re doing a series on ‘why Christians gather together.’ We’re emerging from the Covid pandemic and the various lockdowns and we’ve started to meet together in person so it seems a good time to ask why we gather together. I am loosely following a sermon series I found on ...read more

    God gave us Jesus as a way of saying, "I love you and you are special to me." That is a really great gift, isn't it? Much better than Valentine's cards, or candy, or flowers.

    God’s Unconventional Love Vs Valentine's Day “I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge — that you may be filled to the ...read more

    This parable tells us that God wants to bless us, bless others and to be fruitful.

    FAILURE IS A CHOICE Text: Matthew 25:14 - 30 Matthew 25: 14 -30 14 “For it is as if a man, going on a journey, summoned his slaves and entrusted his property to them; 15 to one he gave five talents,[a] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he ...read more

    Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. 2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness.

    What it means to take up our cross and follow Christ.

    “The God We Need” Mark 8:27-38 Peter gets the title right, but he doesn’t seem to understand what that title means. And so, when Jesus starts to talk NOT about the road to glory but instead the one that leads to the Cross, Peter rebukes Him…and then Jesus rebukes Peter right back. Which might ...read more

     | 9,749 views

    Worldly society is pressuring Christians to agree that sinful lifestyles and habits are normal and acceptable . We need courage to stand for what God says in His Word, the Bible. The 3 Hebrews set an example by refusing to acquiesce to the king's demands.

    Paul reminds us that as new born-again-baptized people, we are new creatures in Jesus Christ who are called to exemplify His light in our living and witness, walking as Gods children of light (Ephesians 5:8).

    Ephesians 5:8-14  for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light  (9)  (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true),  (10)  and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.  (11)  Take no ...read more
