    Forward In Faith: Free From Sin, Not Free To Sin Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,738 views

    ‘stand firm’ in the freedom which Christ brings, and Christ alone brings. Do not go back into the old way of trying to earn or win God’s favour by obedience to the Law. (1 Peter 1 v18-19)

    This morning I want us to think about freedom, what we have freedom from and what we have the freedom to do. Christians often talk about something we refer to as the Gospel, the Gospel simply means Good News or glad tidings. And one of the best ways we can explain the Good News about Jesus ...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

    Conformity Is This World’s Sheep Dog Trials – A Very Serious Matter Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022
     | 2,050 views

    Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

    CONFORMITY IS THIS WORLD’S SHEEP DOG TRIALS – A VERY SERIOUS MATTER INTRODUCTION TO CONFORMITY The sheep dog trials found in sheep breeding countries is a competition where sheep dogs round up a group of sheep and ensure they are penned.

    We often find ourselves in spiritual wilderness, a season of testing that shape our faith. Even Jesus, the Son of God, was tempted. His victory in the wilderness over Satan provides us with a model how to resist sin and standing firm in our faith.

    The Wilderness of Temptation A Sermon on Matthew 4:1-11 Life is a journey. This journey is filled with trials, challenges, and temptations. Followers of Christ are not exempted. We often find ourselves in spiritual wildernesses—times of testing that shape our faith. Even Jesus, the Son of ...read more

    If I Am A Man Of God

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 31, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 14,157 views

    I suppose the term "man of God" means different things to different people. However, we have the account of an individual who was called a "man of God" and commanded to respond to a king's command. Because he was a man of God, certain characteristics marked his life.

    “After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel. “Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and lay sick; so he sent messengers, telling them, ‘Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.’ But the angel of the LORD ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 3,389 views

    Do not let other people squeeze you into their mold through man made rules, regulations and restrictions. Paul wrote, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."

    "Seek God’s Will” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 7, 2019
     | 7,723 views

    Seeking god's will begins with our learning to think as God wants us to think. From Epaphras' prayer for the Colossians we learn how we need to go about renewing our minds in order to stand firm in all the will of God.

    Paul shares with the Colossians that their brother in Christ, who was sent to minister to Paul in prison, Epaphras, was “wrestling in prayer” for them that they might “stand firm in all the will of God.” What did Paul mean by “all the will of God?” He was saying we should seek to be in God’s will ...read more

    Jesus The Rock Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 24, 2024
     | 1,170 views

    The Old Testament knows God as the Rock. But Jesus is also The rock. He is the only firm foundation to build our lives on. But we need to learn from the ancient Israelites. They were unfaithful and most were destroyed. We must not make the same mistake.

    INTRODUCTION We’re in a series looking at descriptions of Jesus. The Bible is full of descriptions of God the Father, of Jesus, and of the Holy Spirit. Last week, we looked at one of Jesus’ descriptions of himself. He said, ‘I am the good shepherd’ [John 10:11]. We looked at what shepherds were ...read more

     | 389 views

    Can any man (or woman) truly be greater than the Gospel? Even with all the pomp and ceremony of the Roman culture, Paul stands firm on the premise that life is not about us, but is about Jesus. This is his testimony, and one that we can learn to emulate also!

     | 379 views

    Paul knew that God’s promise to deliver and protect him is all he ever needed. For us, even today, God’s promise to save you from your own trials also stands just as firm. Will we cling to Him for rescue?

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on May 3, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 621 views

    In a world saturated with deception and shifting opinions—even infiltrating the church—believers must stand firm in the timeless truth of God's Word, pursue godliness through disciplined devotion, and anchor their hope in Christ, who alone is the unchanging way, truth, and life.

     | 89 views

    Brethren, let us open our hearts and minds to the Word of God this morning. We gather as the Church, the body of Christ, and it is crucial that we understand the structure and foundation upon which we are built. For without a firm foundation, no building can stand. And so it is with the Church.

    Death Of A Nation

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,179 views

    When God says, "Enough!" how shall His people respond? The response of God's people to the sinful drift of our nation should lead us to grieve for our fellow man and plead with them to turn to Christ and His righteousness.

    “Righteous are you, O LORD, when I complain to you; yet I would plead my case before you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive? You plant them, and they take root; they grow and produce fruit; you are near in their mouth and far from their heart. ...read more
