    A sermon about trusting Jesus.

    Matthew 14:22-33 "Getting out of the Boat" I'm trying to remember if it was in KidzJam or Sunday school. It was one or the other. I was tucking Mary Ellen into bed on a Sunday evening and I asked her what she had learned in, again, either KidzJam or Sunday school. And she told me this ...read more

    We learned them as children, but did we learn from them? There is truth wrapped up in these tales!

    I. Introduction We learned them as children. They are forever burned into our memory. However, just because we learned them doesn't mean we learned from them.

     | 7,747 views

    There are many times when we can feel weary, burdened and overwhelmed. The invitation from Jesus is to come to Him for soul-reviving rest for he is still sovereign when we are overwhelmed. This is true rest which is given to all the saints today, and into eternity.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Matthew 11:28-30 When I Am Overwhelmed I am not going to presume that your feelings through this time of COVID-19 are the same as mine. But I think it would be true to say that most of us … perhaps even all of us. … have had moments when we have felt overwhelmed. Where we ...read more

    When catastrophe, such as a worldwide pandemic, occurs we are heightened in our end-time awareness. Our sovereign Jesus uses catastrophe to shake us from the rocking rhythm of the ordinary life.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Matthew 24:6-8 When End Times Events Appear On the day of Pentecost, when the disciples were proclaiming the Gospel in all sorts of languages they had never learnt, Peter directed everyone back to Scripture and said, “this is what was spoken”. The Scripture helps us to ...read more

    Jesus will return and is in the process of returning. Are we living as expectant advent-people who are ready?

    WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE: ENTERTAINING GUESTS IN OUR HOME. HOWEVER, THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING THEY ARE COMING AND WHEN THEY ARE JUST DROPPING BY FOR A VISIT.

    God wants our hearts to be at rest and established by His grace toward us! That’s where and when we find inner peace! It’s not about what you can do, it never has been about what you can do...

     | 15,682 views

    Just because a decisive path seems right doesn't mean it's the right one. But that does not mean it is wrong either. When at a crossroad, we must, therefore, ask and trust God to show us which way to go.

    YOUR CROSSROADS AND GOD'S ROADMAP "This is what the Lord says: “Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you reply, ‘No, that’s not the road we want!’ Jeremiah 6:16. Just because a ...read more
