    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 1, 2022
     | 2,925 views

    The focus of this sermon is to introduce the series on the book of Ecclesiastes and the idea that life lived in the hear and now (i.e., under the sun) cannot compare to a life lived under the Son (Jesus Christ)

    Good morning. It is great to be back in the ‘burgh rain and all. For some of you who don’t know, I was away for a few weeks for a sabbatical. It was a study time, and I was able to feel somewhat productive. I also had a time of rest. The better news is Debbie and I got to see our lovely ...read more

    Everyone needs to be BORN 2X or in a more familiar term, Born Again. The term “Born Again” is not invented by men or Christian groups. The term “born again”, which is a central theme in Christianity, is a term spoken by Jesus Christ.

    BORN 2X [INTRODUCTION] Is it true that when you’re young you like everybody to remember your birthday? But when you get older, you’re hoping everyone forgets it!

    It is important every so often to talk about money in church, not so that offerings will go up (which is what people think), but so that you and I keep a proper perspective on money and our possessions.

     | 3,941 views

    Two men in the bible are called Lazarus . The interesting thing about these two men is that both were dead. Dead men don’t speak; they are silent – or are they? Both men spoke from the grave in a very special way. Both are unique. We look at both but mainly Lazarus from John 11.

    THE SILENT MAN WHO SPOKE NOT A WORD – Message John 11 LAZARUS Part 1 THE CHARACTERS OF JOHN’S GOSPEL Today we are looking at a very interesting but important episode in the Gospel of John. It takes up most of one chapter and a bit of the next. The character we are studying is known as ...read more

    To Whom Will You Liken God? Series

     | 3,054 views

    To whom shall the LORD be compared? Who is his equal? There really is none like him! When we really see that truth, and we accept it, then we’ll be comforted in all our trouble, our sin and brokenness.

    There’s a lot of power in a good question. Because sometimes a question is so pointed that it leaves no possible answer but absolute truth—there’s no wiggle room, there can be no hesitation, just plain truth. In the Bible there’s lots of questions like this. Think of the powerful questions in ...read more

     | 2,405 views

    Christ will not break the bruised reed nor quench the smoking flax. None of his believers are disposable, none are useless to him. Be sure that when you go to Christ with your troubles, He will help. Be sure that when you repent and bring your sins to him, He will be gentle.

    The book of Isaiah is sometimes called ‘the fifth gospel.’ In the New Testament we have four gospels, of course: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. These tell the story of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus. Well, you could say that Isaiah does the same thing, because his book is such a great ...read more

    The Perversion Scheme Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,876 views

    Satan realizes that if he takes something that God created for good, and twists it until it is completely unrecognizable, and even causes it to look like something evil, that he can cheat us out of what God wanted us to have.

    The devil is not a creator. He is very good at perverting things, but he never creates new material. He can only use God’s material. - Daniel Heimbach(1) I want to begin by reminding us how the Bible says that we are at war daily with Satan and his demons (Eph 6:11-12). The devil is real, his ...read more

    God’s Wisdom Is Health For The Whole Body

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Nov 21, 2021
     | 2,345 views

    Either our heart is slowly being filled with evil things, or gradually being filled with good. One heart condition ends in death, the other leads to life. So guard your heart! Then God will bless your life, from the inside out.

    Some of us are involved in health care. In our church, we have nurses and others who work at nearby hospitals or nursing homes. Health and wellness are their daily focus. But health is vital for everyone, of course. We should all give it attention. How do you care for the body God has given you? Do ...read more

    God has given us different talents because God has different jobs for each of us to do.

    Most of us understand that, but what many do not seem to understand is what God has called them to do and equipped them to do, HE EXPECTS THEM TO DO! Our desire should be as Christ's. He said in John 4:34, "...My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." ...read more
