Sermon On Golf - A Source Of Life?

Contributed by William Meakin on Jun 23, 2025

Golf is defined as a game played on a large open-air course, in which a small hard ball with dimples is struck with a club into a series of small holes in the ground, the object being to use the fewest possible strokes to complete the course.

P. G. Wodehouse, a British writer once remarked: “Golf… is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.” Proverbs 27:17 reminds us: “Iron ...read more

Sermon # 40 - No Longer A Slave Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 30, 2025

You are God's children, and you will receive everything he promised his children.” (ERV) As Paul addressed the believers in the church at Galatia, he reminded them that they were no longer slaves.

Still waters are defined as a part of a stream where no current is visible.

Sermon # 11 - Chosen For A Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 25, 2024

The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

Sermon - The Paradox Of Biblical Faith

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 15, 2024

Believers today must likewise persevere in faith and trust God, even when they do not see all the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. The faith that pleases God is a faith that can surrender God's promises back to Him and trust God for their fulfillment according to His will.

Subject: The Paradox of Biblical Faith Scripture Text: Hebrews 11:13-16 "All these people died still believing what God had promised them.

Sermon # 18 - Peace-Makers Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 18, 2024

Jonah’s disobedience to God resulted in total chaos and turmoil for all aboard the ship. God’s call to His children is to be peace-makers wherever we are. The word of God cautions those who cause disunity and discord of serious consequences.

We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) The background to this verse is that a sea-voyage which commenced peacefully, with the hopes of a tranquil journey, was suddenly confronted with a furious and violent storm. ...read more
