    Like A Palm Tree

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 2, 2023
     | 2,877 views

    [Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

    Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

    Building Blocks In God's Holy House

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 23, 2022
     | 2,491 views

    We are “living stones,” called to be linked with one another in Christ, tightly integrated like stones in a wall. This requires us to strengthen our connections with each other, in fellowship, mutual support, and prayer.

    God has given us a real blessing in this church building. In many ways, it’s a hub for congregational life. It serves as a centre of our worship, our learning and study, and it’s a place for our communion together. It’s a good gift of God to us. Yet how does the Bible speak about our places of ...read more

     | 9,602 views

    God's kingdom is like a great feast. Are we treating it as one?

    Parable of the Great Feast (Luke 14:16-24 NIV) Jesus replied: "A certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. {17} At the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.' {18} "But they all alike began to make ...read more

    We are in a study of Philippians. Our text today is found in Philippians 3:7-11. We will begin by reading that from the New International Version. “But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth ...read more

    We choose what is good enough for us, cars, entertainment and homes. God expects offerings to him to be more thatn good. HE demands excellence.

    A Good Little Church There are a lot of good things in life. We all make choices in what is good enough. Like how many premium channels on our TV.

    This warning in the book of Hebrews speaks of: the impossibility of those who fall away from “being brought back to repentance.” The Hebrews are not in danger of having their salvation stolen, but are in danger of giving it away.
