     | 1,762 views

    The Rapture allies with hope and the hope of the Christian is looked at. This part will examine the crown of righteousness, and exactly what the "APOSTASY" of 2 Thessalonians really is. The Holy Spirit is the Restrainer and the Lord delivers His Church from the wrath to come

     | 7,962 views

    Christmas is also about the gifts we are to offer in return, not to earn God's favor, but like the magi it is worth a life’s journey to follow whatever destinations may be given us to worship and to give our treasures to our Savior and our King.

    Matthew 2:1-12 The Magi’s Sign 12/8/02 D. Marion Clark Introduction “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are.” At least that is everyone’s concern about the star of Bethlehem. Of all the elements of the Christmas story, the visit of the magi who ...read more

    ‘stand firm’ in the freedom which Christ brings, and Christ alone brings. Do not go back into the old way of trying to earn or win God’s favour by obedience to the Law. (1 Peter 1 v18-19)

    This morning I want us to think about freedom, what we have freedom from and what we have the freedom to do. Christians often talk about something we refer to as the Gospel, the Gospel simply means Good News or glad tidings. And one of the best ways we can explain the Good News about Jesus ...read more

     | 4,262 views

    Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for deceptive people; those who creep into the fold to snatch away our vision, and plunder our hard-earned spoils in an act of spiritual piracy.

    Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for dream catchers! Now, when I speak of dream catchers, I am not referring to the round wooden frame resembling a spider’s web, which was handcrafted by the Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans for the purpose of ...read more

    This sermon contrasts Abel's faith-based worship with Cain's self-reliant religion, demonstrating how a life of true faith earns God's approval and creates an eternal legacy that still speaks of righteousness today.

    Life is a gift, life is a game. How do we treat it matters a lot. The given name and earn name differs at many occasions. Let’s strive for a great and good name which comes from the life lived with the fear of God and humility.

    The account of Jesus' suffering and death on our behalf has become so familiar that if we are not careful we can skim right through it when reading the Bible and never give it a second thought. Let's look at it again to day with fresh eyes of wonder.

    Let's stand and read together our memory Scripture for this first quarter of 2018. 2 Timothy 2:11-13 “Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with Him, we will also live with Him; if we endure, we will also reign with Him.

    We're all familiar with the story of Mary and Joseph and the baby in the manger... but where does God fit into the story?

    A Sunday School teacher had her students put a manger scene in a corner of her classroom.
