    Are you willing to identify the desires of your heart and bring them to a trusted mature spiritual mentor/guide to help you hear the voice of God?

    Did you ever play that game where you asked the question, “What would you do if you won $1 million?" What would you do? I asked my dad that question when I was about 10 years old. He looked at me very seriously and said “Martin, if I won a million dollars I would go to work, stand in my chair ...read more

    The only way back to God is through the way God has provided for us.

    This is the third Sunday in Lent. This forty days is traditionally a time of reflection and repentance, a time to acknowledge our own sinfulness and need for God’s grace.

    Ephesians 5 On Marriage

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 30, 2025
     | 373 views

    The Biblical view of marriage is very different indeed to the contemporary world's view of marriage. The Bible demands a huge amount from us. But through a Christian marriage, we can model Christ's relationship to the church!

    INTRODUCTION After our relationship to God, marriage is the most important relationship we get into. But society’s view of marriage has changed dramatically over the past half century or so. What I would like to do today is give you two pictures. The first picture is what I’m calling the ...read more

    The account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego reveals some truths about tribulation and demonstrates how to live by internal principle and not by external pressure.

    This morning, we come to one of the most well-known accounts in the entire Bible. But our familiarity with the account of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace is actually one of the biggest obstacles we face in being able to understand what this passage has for us today and how we ...read more

    In this final sermon of 2006, the message is that Jesus can make all things new. As the old things pass away, Jesus replaces them with New things, if we will only give our hearts to Him.

    New Things By Pastor Jim May As we enter this New Year of 2007 I thought it would be good for us to think about having some new things. Don’t you just love being able to have something new? I love the fresh smell of a new car, before the aroma of French fries and hamburgers lost under the seat ...read more

    A coach leads his team and instructs them on how to achieve victory. He relates the players focus by revealing WHO they are in respect to the team and HOW they are to serve the team. The same goes for believers we must focus on our 'coach' Jesus Christ!

    How to remain faithful to God for the long haul.

    In some ways I wish that the book of Nehemiah had ended with chapter 12. There we saw the prepared, participating, purified passionate praise of the people that permeated their culture. No doubt that was one of those mountaintop experiences that we find throughout the Scriptures. On the other ...read more
