    With a great sense of urgency, and a deep and abiding faith, the first century church grew and developed quickly. The same resources must be utilized by the contemporary church.

    A friend of mine, Brett Kays, some time back noticed some things that are true of scenes in almost every movie or TV show. If you determined reality according to the way Hollywood defined it, you could be very confused. According to Hollywood: • All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick ...read more

    First John 2:7-11 gives us another visible, objective evidence that someone's profession of faith to be a Christian is credible.

    Scripture John wrote his three letters to oppose the false teaching that was creeping into the churches for which he was responsible. This false teaching was an early form of Gnosticism. The false teachers were claiming that they had a knowledge of God. The word “gnostic” comes from the Greek word ...read more

    This message is the first in a series that looks at diseases that plague the Church - this message looks at the attitude ’Pastor Feed Me’ and encourages listeners to learn to feed themselves!

    This week we are starting a new series that I think is going to be a lot of fun... It’s called “Outbreak” and it looks at the deadly diseases of the church. The idea is pretty simple, right?

    Jesus, Our Hero

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 17, 2015
     | 3,685 views

    Jesus calls on us today to be heroes like him. We can be heroes like Jesus by doing things such as making our beds, washing the dishes, helping our parents with chores around the house or doing things for our friends or neighbours.

    Good morning boys and girls! Can anyone tell me what a hero is? A hero is someone who helps someone else, especially when the person being helped is in danger. Who are your heroes? Sometimes we like to imitate our heroes by copying the way they act or the way they dress. Have any of you ever ...read more

    This is a letter from Paul to the church in Philippi, a Roman city in Greece that Paul visited with Silas on his second missionary journey.

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,445 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more
