    We all have ideas and ideals of how things are and how they should be that have been shaped by our experience and our world. Paul is saying we need to look away from the world to develop new values and thoughts based on God's values.

    Ephesians 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their ...read more

    Sometimes we forget God has a plan and purpose for our lives. Often we move through life without giving God’s plan a second thought and we seem to forget He has designed a specific pathway for each of us.

    Powerful Pathways Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take. (Proverbs 3:5-6) Sometimes we forget God has a plan and purpose for our lives. Often we move through life without giving God’s ...read more

    The world is setting itself against the ways of God and persecution is headed our way. How do we prepare ourselves so we can stand firm in our faith. Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    Read text. Pray. Francis Chan has long been a favorite preacher/author of mine. Over the years he has shared many ideas that are very similar to those of our brotherhood. For instance, there’s a meme where he says, “If the Bible and I don’t agree, I must be wrong.” He has spoken of being ...read more

     | 932 views

    Our study continues with a few serious matters. The place of PRIDE and GOSSIP is opened up, plus some thoughts on MONEY; and the way some like to dominate others. They all cause tensions in churches. Faithful, honest preaching is vital to reduce potential conflicts.

    DEALING WITH TENSIONS AND CONFLICTS IN CHURCHES AND CHURCH ORGANISATIONS – PRACTICAL EXAMINATION AND SUGGESTIONS – PART 2 Last time we began a list of issues that I have seen over my lifetime that can cause tensions and conflicts in the church.

    Perfect peace is a gift from God to those who trust in Him and fix their thoughts on Him. In a world filled with chaos, may we be known as people of unwavering trust and minds fixed on the One who offers us the peace that surpasses all understanding

    Perfect Peace: Trusting in the Lord Introduction: Begin with a warm welcome to the congregation and introduce the key verse: Isaiah 26:3 (NLT) - "You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!"

    Reasoning In Righteousness

    The Lord Jesus told His followers to go out and preach the Gospel to every living creature (Mark 16:15). That means using of Scripture, thought, reason, and logic under the guidance of the Holy Spirit to show people the need to turn to Christ for salvation.

    In today's butchery of the English language where emojis are used more than words to share information and ideas, I think that it is time for all of us to get off the machines for a few moments and learn something from the great men of God whose counsel and wisdom have been forgotten.

    Preaching Your Sermon - True Ministers Regurgitate, Or Do They – Should They Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 19, 2024
     | 617 views

    Here, we are sharing some thoughts about church ministry especially the tendency to preach on what someone else has done because one has not bothered to study for oneself. Every situation is specific to its own church but here are general principles.

    PREACHING YOUR SERMON - TRUE MINISTERS REGURGITATE, OR DO THEY – SHOULD THEY? I keep some finches and just recently one pair had babies. It is interesting the way the Lord has arranged for the babies to be fed. I think most people have noticed the method used by birds as the young are fed. ...read more

    Ancient Israel's wilderness wanderings have lessons for us. I gave ChatGPT detailed prompts and it helped me organize my thoughts for this sermon. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I will rework it and preach it again.

    Title: Routines, Ruts, & Revolutions Opening: This quote is often attributed to the genius of Albert Einstein. Before him, art critics and psychological theorists had recognized the idea.

    Heaven's Open Door Policy

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 3, 2025
     | 609 views

    The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

    We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

    28. The Kingdom Parables – The Seventh – The Dragnet – Part 4 Of 6 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2025
     | 71 views

    Christians can be weak and blind and wear dirty garments when out of touch with the Lord. We look at the Lord’s remedy for these lukewarm, sinful Laodiceans pitifully smug in their church. They thought they were rich but they were wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.

    28. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE SEVENTH – THE DRAGNET – PART 4 OF 6 The seven Kingdom parables of Matthew 13 are a wonderful study of integration. In all these we have looked at the parable itself to understand it. Then we looked at the parallel church in Revelation chapters 2 and 3 that matches ...read more

    What does it mean to "honor God with your lips" and yet be far from him? This sermon explores the type of followers Jesus is calling us to become.

    Mark 7:1-23 “Does God want a Dirty Church?” 7:1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus and 2 saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were "unclean," that is, unwashed. 3(The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they ...read more

    Turning to Christ involves repenting of sins, rejecting selfish living and all that is unjust, renouncing Satan and all evil. It’s living every day as a disciple of Christ, loving God with our whole heart, and our neighbour as our self, until life's end.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings ‘1, 2, 4, 7, 9, Here we come.’ That’s how my sons, Micah and Joshua, like to count down when we play hide and seek. There’s usually not much time to get ready! Actually every time they count down differently. One moment they’re ...read more
