Persistence In Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

We fail in prayer as we do in every other area of life, and we are often frustrated, but Jesus says that we are to never give up, but keep trying and keep learning. Persistence will make you a winner in the long run.

A fisherman's experiment is described in a tract. It tells of how he caught a large black bass and instead of putting it in the frying pan he put it in a glass tank. Each morning he would bring a minnow to the tank and drop it in. The bass would make a dash for the minnow and soon finish him ...read more

What's Love Got To Do With It? Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 27, 2016

Tina Turner asked this question but she downplayed the significance of love; calling it a ‘second-hand emotion’ and a ‘sweet old-fashioned notion'. But for those who understand the true essence of love it means much more. What’s love got to do with it?

WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? Tina Turner asked this question but for a different reason than what I’ll be focusing on today. In fact, in her song, she downplays the significance of love; calling it a ‘second-hand emotion’ and a ‘sweet old-fashioned notion'. She ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jan 1, 2023

Paul commands the Thessalonians not to quench the Spirit. We will consider that and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the use of gifts given to every believer. Biblical prophecies are not to be despised through neglect or misappropriation. Victory in storms.

Mission Possible

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 24, 2023

Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

Fiery Furnace Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 28, 2022

The great men of the kingdom came from far and near and stood around the image. Among them, by command of the King, were Daniel's three friends, the young Jews, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. For some reason, Daniel himself was not there.

Fiery Furnace There was in the land of Judah a wicked king-named Jehoiakim, son of the good Josiah. While Jehoiakim was ruling over the land of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, a great conqueror of the nations, came from Babylon with his army of Chaldean sersoldi.

Not By Might But By My Spirit

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Nov 8, 2025

This sermon proclaims that God’s work in rebuilding His temple—and in strengthening His people today—is never accomplished by human effort but solely by the empowering, obstacle-flattening, hope-renewing work of the Holy Spirit.

Not by Might but by My Spirit Zechariah 4:1-9 Let’s begin with the remarkable story of how God’s people — weary from exile yet renewed by hope — rebuilt the house of the Lord. Because of their idolatry, moral corruption, and rejection of God’s prophets, the nation of Judah fell to ...read more
