     | 15,623 views

    Communion emphasizes our common unity in Christ. Message focuses on Communion's connections to Passover and ends with some correctives to help us not approach this meal in an unworthy manner.

    Last Meal with the Master Mark 14:22-31 Rev. Brian Bill February 10-11, 2018 We all like a good meal, don’t we? I recently read what was served at some of history’s most memorable events. • At President Abraham Lincoln’s second Inaugural Ball in 1865, dinner was served at midnight on a 250-foot ...read more

    Divine rewards demand that we conduct our lives according to God's rules provided in His Word.

    I consider the initial verses of this chapter to be among the most significant verses of the book. They are, as well, perhaps the most neglected verses of the missive which Paul wrote. I confess that I am ploughing quite a narrow furrow in these expositions. Note that the Apostle appeals to ...read more

    The key to thriving in a season of waiting is contentment, and trusting that God has a good purpose in it.

    As you probably know, it’s now officially Autumn. Along with many of you, I was in southeastern Ohio yesterday for the church’s family retreat at Seneca Lake. It was beautiful there, wasn’t it? The air was crisp and cool, the sun was warm. The leaves were just beginning to turn. It was one of those ...read more

    We Had Hoped...distraught By The Cross Series

    This sermon takes a look at the cross through the eyes of the disciples and how the cross which was originally one of suffering and shame became one of rejoicing and elation.

    How could they have been so wrong. One by one they each chose to leave everything and to answer the call to follow Jesus and become fishers of men. For 3 brief years they watched in anticipation as Jesus worked miracles and taught with authority. Peter even stated that Jesus was indeed the ...read more

    Are we taking what we prefer, or what we see as a good thing and entering into the Kingdom of God and claiming it as God’s will, when it is nothing but our own doing?

    Pile the kids in the car, hit the remote, garage door opens, and out you go on another drive. Grocery store. Hardware store. The bank. Costco. It is just a trip across town. Nothing exciting, just an every day trip. Kids either don’t want to go, or they complain about going or they act bored out of ...read more

    Our Christian life and journey is not always smooth and easy. When things get tough we can either give up or continue on. Let’s learn how to move on and not turn back.

    We read in John 21:4, “Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus” (ESV) They failed to recognize Jesus It was indeed an unusual situation on the sea shore that day, as the resurrected Jesus stood on the shore, and his own disciples who ...read more

    A deductive exposition of the text calling seekers to receive Christ and believers to grow in grace in order to meet him face to face without any shame when he returns.

    Many extremists become myopically fixed on certain issues. They cannot see that the Lord is more concerned about winning people to Christ, discipling them and growing churches that reflect all of His loving attributes.

    The example of the Macedonian our Corinthian churches give us tremendous advice on the sensitive subject of tithing for NT believers today! Advice that is easy to understand requiring very little interpretation!

    So much is said about tithing and yet it is probably the most difficult subject for me to speak on. I think it would be actually easier if the church was wealthy. Why is this such a sensitive subject? Or maybe its me, but why is it so hard to preach on? What about to you? Think about it for a ...read more

    Why are God’s people often not living counter-culturally or don’t seem to clash with culture? Maybe the problem has something to do with being intellectually or scientifically stimulated about Jesus and the mysterious cosmic phenomenon rather than experie

    I read a fascinating article last week that invited me to watch a breath-taking phenomenon that only occurs once every 44 years. It is the aligning of Jupiter and Venus with the Moon.

    The life of a Christian is often hot to handle that we may be tempted to even pack it in. But the Apostle Paul urges us not to do so for our groaning will give way to glory.

    I have a loonie here that I want to give away. Who wants it? Before I give it to you I want to burn off some of the germs that are on this coin. (Hold coin in candle flame with a pair of pliers for a couple of seconds.) Done. Go ahead. Take the coin. Did your fingers get burned? No? That’s good. I ...read more
