     | 2,014 views

    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

     | 1,142 views

    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. And traditionally, too, pastors temporarily drop whatever track they were on and preach a series of special sermons just for ...read more

    The High-Value Saint

     | 2,901 views

    Kevin "the Godfather" Samuels, revived the idea and coined the phrase of the High-Value Man. He formulated six principles that create the High-Value Man, but Christ has given us six principles to make us High-Value Saints. We find these principles in the parable of the Hidden Treasure.

    Three months ago, the world of social media lost an icon. Kevin "the Godfather" Samuels, YouTuber, image consultant, life-coach, dating expert and influencer, died on May 5, 2022. Rolling Stone magazine reported that Samuels had amassed 1.4 million subscribers on his YouTube channel ...read more

     | 2,537 views

    We live in a world that is full of concerns and worries. And all the more so with a weakened economy, a weakened military and a question of leadership. These concerns put pressure on us.

    Endeavoring To Keep The Unity

     | 1,645 views

    “The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.” I believe we all will concur with that statement.

    The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” But if it is true that a church full of people who love the Lord and each other is the nearest thing to heaven on this earth, it must also be true ...read more

    All Murders Even The Forgotten Ones Will Be Judged And Avenged - Revelation 9 V 21 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022
     | 1,995 views

    In the Tribulation period that happens after the Rapture, God's judgements fall on this world but the human heart is so hard it refuses to repent even then. In particular 4 sins are mentioned, one of them being murder, which is the topic for today.

    ALL MURDERS EVEN THE FORGOTTEN ONES WILL BE JUDGED AND AVENGED - Revelation 9 v 21 This is a horrible world; a world of torment and ugliness, of torture, pain and death. The atrocities of this earth are like an iceberg – the majority is hidden underneath and is not seen. Two posts back I had an ...read more

    Ephesians 5 On Marriage

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 30, 2025
     | 275 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

    What Are The Five Biggest Problems Of Life And Does God Really Care?

    Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009
    based on 15 ratings
     | 16,518 views

    God not only cares, but when you are rightly related to God, you have the answer to the five biggest problems of life. This message examines Psalm 23 and explains how when the LORD is your shepherd, it’s enough.

    I am no different from anybody else here. And the proof of that is that there are times I feel like looking at people and saying the same seven words you do. They are, "Sometimes I wonder if you really care." Now obviously there are times I feel like saying that more than others and there are some ...read more

    Air Conditioning Hell

     | 3,000 views

    As much as even some in the church at large desire to "air-condition" hell, the doctrine of eternal punishment is a foundational doctrine for believers in Jesus
