    We don't hear the word covet a lot this days, but being greedy is pretty close. This message looks at why we shouldn't be greedy.

    A Sunday school teacher was asking her class if anyone knew what the Tenth Commandment was, to which a little boy responded, “You must not take the covers off your neighbour’s wife.” Pretty close. Well, here we are—the last week of our series, A Return to Civility. When we started the series in ...read more

    There will be times in our lives when confidences are broken, tears are shed, feelings are hurt and trust gets damaged. All of this leads me to an extremely important question: who or what can you genuinely trust? Tonight I want us to learn four impor

    Life is a Matter of Trust Proverbs 3:5-6 Introduction We place our trust in all sorts of things on a daily basis. If you have something on your calendar tomorrow, you are trusting that you will still be alive. Each day we trust that we are going to have power. We place a certain amount of trust ...read more

    Providing Comfort During Trials

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 13, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,106 views

    How do we respond to those who are enduring hardships? Do we dish out criticism and judgment, or do we show genuine compassion? The experience from our own trials can help us better minister to those in trouble and anguish.

    Samuel Chadwick said, “Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn; but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but it takes heart to comfort.”(1) How do we respond to those who are enduring hardship? Do we dish out criticism and ...read more

    A Light In The Darkness

     | 9,689 views

    This world can often be a very dark place - senseless acts of violence, hatred and abuse - selfishness, greed and anger in our own hearts and lives. A saving Light appears that brings genuine peace and lasting purpose. See how Jesus is a Light in the darkness of this world.

    What do you do when you walk into a dark room? You reach for the light switch, right? For many of us, it’s probably hard to imagine living without that little thing called “the lightbulb” – that little glass bulb that instantly dispels the darkness and brings light. Can you imagine experiencing ...read more

    John’s moral test for genuine salvation consists of: 1) The Test Stated (1 John 2:3), 2) The Test Applied (1 John 2:4–5) and 3) The Test Exemplified (1 John 2:6)

    Most of us don’t like tests. Tests conjure up bad images in our minds: that horrible math final exam your senior year in high school, that stress test the doctor has ordered, or that dreaded driver’s license test with a dour instructor in the car with you demanding that you display ...read more

    John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

    Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

    GOD’S TIMETABLE By Pastor Jim May While most of the Psalms were songs and poems of worship written by David, the sweet singer of Israel, this Psalm is attributed to Moses, and was a prayer that Moses prayed unto God as he led the Children of Israel from Egypt to the Promised Land.

    "Be united in spirit” is used to describe souls that beat together, in tune with Christ and with each other. This word is made up of two words "sun" (together with) and psuchos (soul, self, inner life, or the seat of the feelings, desires,affections). So

    As this letter paints a magnificent and majestic portrait of Jesus it highlights the immensity of how our lives are affected as a result of who Jesus is and what he has done for us. What better way to inspire those whose faith is flagging or whose hearts

    AIM: To elevate our perspective of JESUS so that any sense of flagging faith is renewed by a fresh understanding of the importance and significance of JESUS.

    The Song of Songs is a poetic love story between a King and a lowly country girl, which uses exotic and striking language. It celebrates love and affection between a man and a woman that cuts across class barriers. But what did God intend in including it

    Personally I’m not much of a gardener; at best you could call me a ‘weed exterminator.’ But I certainly enjoy walking round a beautiful garden. What are the ingredients needed for a successful garden? I guess, the soil must be suitable, and needs to be plenty of water, sun and shelter. For a garden ...read more
