    Words have power. And whether that power accomplishes good or evil depends on where it comes from, and what it is intended to do.

    “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” You’ve all heard that saying, haven’t you? We’ve probably all used it, in fact - usually when a child comes home from school upset because someone called her a bad name. We do distinguish between words and actions. That is what ...read more

    The 78th Psalm teaches us how to turn the tide of evil in our nation. What is the key to making a nation moral?

    Back in the 1800s, there was a famous preacher by the name of Peter Cartwright. Cartwright was known to be a very bold and uncompromising preacher, and one day the President of US - Andrew Jackson - was going to visit his congregation. But the elders were concerned and warned Cartwright: “You ...read more

    Big idea: From the 1st century on, the church has been threatened by heresy and false teaching. We also must be on our guard.

    INTRODUCTION There was a man who walked into a gas station with a $20 bill. Just a regular Tuesday. He handed over the cash to the cashier, who paused, held it up to the light, scribbled on it with one of those little pens—and then called the police. It was a counterfeit. The man was stunned—he ...read more

    Christ Lifted Up

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 70 views

    Looking to the crucified Christ does not erase every snake, yet it drains sin’s poison and gives real, resurrecting life.

    So close, and yet so far. That phrase has a sting to it, doesn’t it? When your destination is right there. When what you’ve longed for is finally within sight. When you can feel the finish line in your bones… and suddenly the road you’re on dissolves beneath your feet. Israel knew that ...read more

    Finding The Love Of Your Life Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Mar 20, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 641 views

    Life is about what you love. Jesus said that we should love God with all our heart, soul, and mind. The Book of Titus challenges us to discover, "Who or what is really the love of your life."

    Life is about what you love. In the last 300 years the way people see life and the definition of a “successful life” has changed. It has moved from morality to money; from God to goals, from Christ to culture. This is not new; this same setting was the type of culture Paul was addressing in the ...read more

    When Christ calls us to be with Him, He honours us. He does not treat us as we deserve should we fail Him, but He is glorified in raising us up and employing us to His glory.

    “Jesus went with [his disciples] to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to [them], ‘Sit here, while I go over there and pray.’ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, ‘My soul is very sorrowful, ...read more

    To quote a familiar television show, "Is that your final answer?"

    “Surely he was the Son of God!” (Matthew 27:54) “I know who you are -- the Holy One of God!” (Mark 1:24) Those two statements about Jesus came from rather unlikely sources. Do you remember who made the first statement? That was the centurion’s confession of Jesus on Good Friday. He was the man ...read more
