What's My Motivation

Contributed by Chip Monck on Sep 26, 2007

This message followed up one on the Biblical Bridal Paradigm, and reflected on the motivation of living and participating in ministry out of love.

Sealed With A Kiss Series

Contributed by Jonathan Campbell on Oct 4, 2007

Song of Solomon presents us with a soul-ravishing view of Christ. In this sermon we focus on a colour, a contact and a comparison.

There ...read more

And because of His holiness God will have no fellowship or connection with sin. Before the fall God and man had close fellowship with each ...read more

Images Of Light

Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jan 12, 2008

By making the claim to be the light of the world in the temple, Jesus was invoking images that we may have never thought of before. Here are the images of light that Jesus roused in the minds of His listeners.
