    The Fourth Sunday In Advent: Love Series

     | 3,765 views

    We sometimes hear a lot about love during Advent and the Christmas season. May we never forget the incredible love God has for us. John 3 isn't usually a Christmas text but what Jesus said there is good for Christmas, too.

    (Based on and edited from a message preached at First Baptist Church, Chamois, MO on 12-18-22. This is not an exact transcription.) Introduction: There is no greater expression of love, anywhere, when we think about how Jesus left Heaven to come to this earth, to be born like us, live with us, die ...read more

    I Have A Friend Who Thinks That The Bible Is Just Another Book

    based on 81 ratings
     | 2,964 views

    If God who we know exists were to write a book - we would expect it to be unique (to be in a class all by itself) accurate (we could trust what it says) and supernatural (it would know stuff that only God could know) - I contend the bible is such a book.

    I Have A Friend Who… (pt 2) Thinks The Bible Is Just Another Book Last week we began a new message series called – “I Have A Friend Who…” The theme verse is 1 Peter 3:15… “…always be ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with ...read more

    In this message we will talk about how the bible is like no other book throughout human history and how all the evidence points that is was written by God.

    “The Bible: Is It Just Another Book?” There’s a story of a guy on an airplane who was an atheist. He was sitting next to a little girl who was traveling alone, and the little girl brought out a Bible to read during the trip. The man struck up a conversation with the little girl, and after a ...read more

As we gather together in this sacred space, let us remember that we are ...read more

    Peter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, steps up and delivers and epic message. Using scripture to show what was happening the people were cut to the heart and over 3000 were added. Are we adding to the church's numbers today??

Earlier this year we spent some time looking at Peter and his time of ministry didn’t end with Jesus ascension. In many ways that is when ...read more

    The supernatural doesn’t exist for a Christian. It’s all normal and to be expected. Do you access it in your daily life or do you ignore it for what you can see and touch?

    Last week we began a new teaching series around the supernatural. We discussed the idea that Jesus' presence and works 2000 years ago represent an orderly working of the world many don’t recognise nor do they understand, so they call the events - supernatural. But are they? One magician ...read more
