    Whose Fault Is It?

    Catastrophes happen. As Christians, we need to be careful when assessing the cause of tragedy. It is natural to ask, “Who or what is to blame when tragedy or disaster strikes?” Let us examine this issue.

    Whose Fault Is It? Luke 13:1-5; John 9:1-3 When catastrophes or tragedies strike quite often we become like the disciples in John 9 when they met a man blind from birth. Their immediate reaction was that it was the judgment of God upon either this man or his parents. When the devastating ...read more

    Last of 5 in the series "A Light Unto My Path: Growing Through God’s Word." This sermon brings the series to a close with the exhortation to live by the truth of the Bible.

    Text: James 1 19-26 I remember as a little boy watching Saturday morning cartoons and a consistent theme was the Genie in the bottle or the mind controlled slave who responded to the master’s every wish with the monotone reply "I hear and obey master." I’m sure that you were all much more ...read more

    Paul’s Version Of The Christmas Story Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Dec 15, 2020
     | 3,940 views

    Sometimes it isn't easy to explain the Christmas story, or the reason why Jesus was born into this world. For a good number of people in Galatia, they didn't understand so Paul was led to explain it to them.

    Introduction: many of us are familiar with the stories of Jesus’ birth, as recorded in Matthew’s and Luke’s gospels. Paul seemed to know the story, too, but he never seemed to say much about it in his messages or his letters. He did explain the story to the Galatian believers, though, and this ...read more

    Job faced struggles and pain in life that most will never encounter, at least in that magnitude. No doubt, he had more questions than answers. However, in the midst of his uncertainty, there were e few things of significance that Job knew without doubt.

    I know my Redeemer Lives Job 19: 25-27 Job is an interesting and somewhat mysterious character in the Bible. While most Bible readers are familiar with Job and the great trials he faced in life, little is known about his background. He is believed to have lived around the time of Abraham, with the ...read more

    I think that the problem is not with what people believe; the problem is that too many of us don't live what we claim to believe.

    Belief in God is pretty strong among Americans. A survey shows that 53% say that they know God exists and they have no doubts. 18% say that they believe in God but they still have some doubts. And 4% believe in God just sometimes. Another poll found that more than 68% of Americans identify as ...read more

    Joseph's journey from favoured son, to slave, to servant, to prisoner, to prophet, to Prime Minister. Why because God had a plan. God has a plan for your life also.

    Genesis 43-45: God in the middle of the mess. We have been journeying with Joseph through his sale into slavery, imprisonment, interpretation of dreams and then into the role of what we could describe as the Prime-Minister of Egypt appointed because of his wisdom by the Pharoah. His brothers had ...read more

    What Does It Mean To Believe?

     | 1,478 views

    Do you ever wonder what it means to “believe?” Today we are going to consider what it means to “believe” by examining the passage from Numbers 21 alongside the gospel reading from John 3.

    Is it true that you just believe in Jesus and you are saved? When I first became a Christian at the age of 16 and was taking confirmation classes at Cocoa Presbyterian Church, I remember Reverend Flanagan telling us that if you believe in Jesus you will be saved. Right away that statement raised ...read more

    The story of the Prodigal Son will teach us many lesson on what we should avoid, and what we should value in order to continue in the place of abundance, and not end up in want.

    We continue our meditation on 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) There is power in the word of God, and we must allow God’s word to be actualized in our ...read more

    Why doesn't God divorce his unfaithful people? We would, in his place.

    Hosea must have been crazy. God told him to marry a prostitute named Gomer, and so he did. Now, stories of reformed prostitutes who settle down and become good wives and mothers are a staple of romantic fiction.

    Justice is based on the idea that every human has been created by God, carries the image of God and is special to Him. Therefore the true worship of God should always lead to justice, righteousness and loving our neighbor.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more
