    Half our miseries are caused by fancying things that we think are coming upon us: half the things that we expect to come upon us never come at all. Where is our faith? “Do not be worried about tomorrow” that is the commandment of Christ, and it is the way

    Opening illustration: A seminar leader wanted to make an important point, so he took a wide mouth jar and filled it with rocks. “Is the jar full?” he asked. “Yes,” came a reply. “Oh, really?” he said. Then poured smaller pebbles into the jar to fill the spaces between the rocks. “Is it full now?” ...read more

    The Apostle Peter reassures us: There will be a final judgment. Also we look at the reality of hell, and why people refuse to believe in it - SIN, they want to justify their sin. See sermon for details......

    A little note about the sermon title: I had a little boy say outloud "Hell In A Handbasket". His mom said sternly: "Where did you hear such a thing?" "I was just reading the sermon title mommy". Maybe I should have gone with my alternate title: H. E. double toothpicks. An old sourdough [that’s ...read more

    Mark presents the only act of devotion to Jesus we will see until his death.

    Introduction The Passion begins. Beginning now through the end of chapter 15, we may as well title the section, “The Death of Jesus,” for every scene is about his inevitable death. From early on Mark had intimated Jesus’ death, building the tension as his story progressed. The ...read more

    Jesus commends a rhythm for life - worship, then work.

    Let It Out!

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 5, 2020
     | 4,378 views

    Last week in my sermon on showing appreciation made me think of the biblical accounts where people were not restrained in showing their appreciation or excitement. Let's see what we can learn from some of the ones who did that.

    LET IT OUT! Last week in my sermon on showing appreciation, I had mentioned what Jesus said to the Ephesian church in Rev. 2 about how they had forsaken their first love and they needed to repent and do the things they were doing in the beginning. I talked about how we may need to rekindle the ...read more

    That morning when the sun rose, the Son Jesus Christ rose also. But the thing is this that moment was not witnessed by crowds, it was not celebrated with trumpets, there was no crowd of people shouting. It happened quietly, but in that quietness everything changed.

    Well good morning newlife, it is great to see you today at our sunrise service this morning as we celebrate the son that has risen. You know as we gather here early this morning, the world around us is waking up, the sky as you can see is changing from night to dawn. The sun is breaking through ...read more

    Laodicea: Knock, Knock! Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 14, 2021
     | 4,325 views

    Becoming a tepid or lukewarm church doesn’t take any effort at all … none. All we have to do is sit in the pews, sing the same old hymns, hear the same old sermons over and over again, and eventually you’ll end up with a tepid church full of lukewarm Christians.

    The sun showed them no mercy. Directly overhead, it blazed and beat down on them. They were tired and hungry and very thirsty, so the sight of a well … even a Samaritan well … was a more-than-welcome sight. Jesus and the Disciples didn’t have a jar or a bucket with them, so they had no way to ...read more

    Abandoned To The Potter

    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,614 views

    When clay is soft and pliable it is easy to make an impression on. When it becomes dry and hard change doesn’t come easy. In fact it can’t come unless the potter applies water and pressure to bring a pliable nature back to the clay.

    JEREMIAH 18; Go down to the shop where clay pots and jars are made. I will speak to you while you are there.” So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so the ...read more
