    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 21, 2019
     | 4,233 views

    This sermon uses Ephesians 3:14-21 to give biblical teaching on the NEC core value of Praying And Worshipping where we seek “To rely on the power of God by being a community which glorifies God in all that we do.”

    Note that I preached on our Core Values in 2010 - four of the six messages were very different to what was preached then, but this one is very similar. As such I have removed the older sermon and just updated it. Message Praying and Worshipping A sermon on Ephesians 3:14-21 Do you have days ...read more

    The life of discipleship has three steps: attachment, understanding, and imitation.

    God is unquestionably the world’s greatest fisherman. And he’s not at all offended by the description, either, because that is what he called us to be.

    The Aspects Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 12, 2022
     | 3,060 views

    In this text, Jesus spoke of nine different aspects of prayer that we are encouraged to embrace as we pray. His focus deals with the attitude of the heart. This is not a sample, replacement prayer we are to use instead of seeking the Lord for our needs and desires.

    The Aspects of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 We have come to one of the most recognized portions in all of Scripture. I think it would be safe to say, this passage is among the top three most quoted passages, along with Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Most of the time, it is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. I ...read more

     | 812 views

    To be a true disciple of Christ, to be assured of eternal life, we must never be ashamed to confess His holy name. We must also be willing to follow Him always, forsaking our own desires and even our family and friends.

    I have entitled our message, “Jesus Before All Else.” Author Mike Mazzalongo wrote a book entitled Jesus Above All Else. He says that Jesus told His followers, “in no uncertain terms, that in order to be His disciple they must place Him above all else.” He explains that “above all else” means ...read more
