    Father, Forgive Them

     | 7,874 views

    Jesus’ first cry on the cross ushered in His ministry of intercession for the world. He has not ceased to intercede for us. Man’s greatest need is the forgiveness of our sin.

    Jesus prayed, "Father, forgive them..." (Luke 23:34). This was the first recorded cry of Jesus on the cross. • It sums up the reason He was there. It encapsulates the meaning of the cross. • He was asking God to give men what they needed most – forgiveness of their sin. • Jesus is going to pay ...read more

    There are three questions each Christian should ask themselves when it comes to deciding just how far to go in serving the Lord. They are not easy questions, but your answers will reveal much about yourself. In 2 Corinthians 6, Paul gives us a clear choic

    Answer this question for yourself: “I feel good about my life when …” In a way, the Apostle Paul could be asking the Corinthians to consider this question when they judge him. If you answer the question: “I feel best when external circumstances are not difficult and when ...read more

     | 3,488 views

    A Lenten sermon that explores that God can use our situations so others may know He is the saviour.

    The Gospel reading from John 11, which we read this morning, is another sign that Jesus is the true Messiah. In the Gospel of John we have 7 of these signs: • Jesus changed water into wine (2:1-11) • Jesus healed the officials son (4:46-54) • Jesus healed the paralytic (5:1-9) • Jesus fed the 5000 ...read more

    Four Rules for attempting the impossible: RULE ONE: Don’t get counsel from your detractors; RULE TWO: Don’t attempt the impossible in your strength; RULE THREE: Don’t stay in the boat; RULE FOUR: Don’t focus on the circumstances

    ATTEMPTING THE IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD Matt 14:25-32 INTRODUCTION My message is about Attempting the Impossible.

    Location. Location. Location.

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 28, 2015
     | 4,755 views

    Each of us is either “in Adam” or “in Christ.” That is why I have called my sermon Location. Location. Location. Where you are – what your location is – makes all the difference in the world, and, more than that, it makes all the difference in eternity.

    James Montgomery Boice says that this is “possibly the most difficult [passage] in the Bible.” Great! Right? One thing’s for sure: Paul’s argument in these verses is dense and tight. One commentator begins by defining some of the terms in the text in hopes that that will ...read more

    "Finding God's Strength" Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 15, 2014
     | 7,925 views

    Like many of the teachings of Jesus, the words He spoke did not really go along with the popular views of the day. Listen again to what he said…blessed are the meek…they will inherit the earth. This is certainly not the teaching that is found in the business world today.

    Finding God’s Strength Matthew 5:5 and 11:28-30 The setting for the message this morning is found in one of the highlights of the ministry of Jesus. His ministry had its share of highs and lows but this was definitely one of his finer moments. In the background, Jesus had just gone through ...read more

    Often we allow problems to define who we are and where we are. There is a river of possibilities flowing from the altar of God. Joy is not freedom from problems, but releasing God's plan.
