    How a death of a young Christian can be used for the Glory of God.

    Why Does God Take the Good Ones? When I heard that one of our youth at the church had been killed in a car accident, my first question was “Why Spike, why not someone else?” As always when I unjustly question God, He gave the answer through my lovely wife. She said, “Because God wanted him now.” ...read more

    The Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 18, 2024
     | 1,144 views

    Jesus said 'I am the Good Shepherd.' This is one of Jesus' most famous descriptions of himself. It gives us a lot of encouragement. But there are some things he calls us to do: follow, listen and flee.

    INTRODUCTION A couple of weeks ago, we started a new series for the afternoon services, looking at WHO JESUS IS. In the Bible, God the Father and Jesus have many titles and descriptions. They tell us something about God the Father or Jesus. When Jesus was crucified, Pilate had a notice prepared ...read more

    What’s So Good About Good Friday Series

    Contributed by Lalachan Abraham on Apr 17, 2025
     | 315 views

    Beyond etymology, Good Friday can be called “good” because of the results of Christ’s death on the cross. Jesus’ sacrifice was a demonstration of God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).

    The significance of a person’s death depends largely on two things: who they are and what caused them to die. Good Friday, the Friday before Easter, is the Christian day to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus and His death at Calvary. Jesús willingly suffered and died by crucifixion as the ...read more

     | 20,164 views

    What is it that hinders us from doing the good that we should be doing? We are often like the Priest and the Levite, sometimes we just miss the point of our faith. Sometimes Christianity becomes just a religion to us and not a lifestyle

    Focus On The Good Youth Sermon

    based on 4 ratings
     | 792 views

    Our thoughts can either bring us down or lift us up. Focusing on the negatives makes it hard to see the positives. We need to focus on what is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.

    Today we're going to talk about focus. You know, like when your teacher tells you to stop daydreaming and pay attention in class. But we're not talking about algebra or history, we're talking about life and our relationship with God. Let's be real, there's a lot of stuff out there trying to grab ...read more

    Jesus was not only crucified but he became a curse for us.

    HE BECAME A CURSE The crucifixion was a horrifying experience. It was a method of torture. Beatings, the crushing of bones, tearing of flesh was some of the things that Jesus faced.
