    Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, what kind of news do you anticipate when you turn on your TV set? Good news or bad news? Probably bad news.

    Having No Fear

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,736 views

    Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

    Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

    Resurrection Observations

    based on 20 ratings
     | 2,751 views

    This is not the typical Easter sermon. It is specific to our church and where we are. It looks at some different implications of the events surrounding the resurrection.

    This is a slightly different Easter message than you may be used to. It’s not typical. There are some observations that are appropriate for where we are as a church and where we’re headed. Read Luke 24:1-12. Many of us have read or heard this passage a million times. We heard a number of sermons ...read more

    A talk given at our evening Ash Wednesday service. Jesus's death on the cross has paid the price for our sins but our bad habits, bad behaviour and the things that trip us up still need to be confronted.

    A young man once visited the great German preacher Martin Luther to ask for his advice. He said that he was constantly plagued by wrongful desires and lustful thoughts and did not know what to do. Martin Luther’s reply was typically blunt and to the point. He said, “You can’t stop ...read more

    Knowing How He views my sin is vitally important if I’m to experience victory over it; this message describes His view of me and my sin and the encouragement to run to Him when I sin.

    Relationship with Christ is everything. Nothing “deeper.” How did Jesus respond to Sin? It is vitally important to know and be convinced of how He responds to my sin, so that when I sin I can go to Him immediately. Lk.5:31-32 - “Jesus answered them, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but ...read more
