    Joshua And The Walls Of Jericho

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 22, 2020
     | 10,464 views

    This is a great children's story. But as adults, it prompts some difficult questions. Is it even true? How could God destroy an entire city? It's also a wonderful example of God's people overcoming a seemingly-insurmountable obstacle through faith and obedience.

    JOSHUA AND THE WALLS OF JERICHO INTRODUCTION We’re moving from our series on prayer to a new series called ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ There are some famous stories in the Old Testament which we may have heard as children, perhaps at home or at Sunday School. In this series the idea is to ...read more

    Worry? That’s For The Birds!

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 31, 2019
     | 6,079 views

    Birds and flowers are two of the small creations Jesus cites as examples of God's care and provision. His idea is, "If God cares about them, how much more does He care about you?" So why are we worrying?

    WORRY? THAT’S FOR THE BIRDS! Matt. 6:25-34 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A guide was conducting a group of tourists around the Empire State building. On the elevator ride to the 102nd floor, a nervous woman asked, "What if these elevator cables should break? Would we go up or down?" ...read more

    The exhortation, the example, and the encouragement from James 5:7-8 (Outline from C. Jerdan at Bible Hub: http://biblehub.com/sermons/auth/jerdan/long-suffering_in_view_of_christ's_coming.htm; material from David Jeremiah's book, Living With Confidence)

    HoHum: At times we become so excited about an upcoming event that we have trouble waiting. It may be a holiday we are looking forward to, a vacation, or a party, and we wonder every day – "how many more days?" We have this with our boys with going to DC in a few weeks! Sometimes, while on ...read more

    Endurance Under Stress Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 9, 2022
     | 2,324 views

    Does coming to Christ mean the end of suffering? Sorry, no it does not. To this, suffering, you were called. Christ suffered and left an example of suffering. We have great verses in 21-25 about what Christ’s death on the cross means. Christ suffered for you.

    It was one of those dramatic stories. The town ruffian named Big Joe became a Christian. After all the noses he had broken, black eyes he had given the meanest toughest man in town accepts Christ and becomes a changed man. Now instead of a violent temper he endured patiently, even under stress. ...read more

    What Does "morality" Even Mean?

    Contributed by Ian Hyde on Nov 24, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,287 views

    How do we define morality in an increasingly relativistic, materialistic world? When we realize our inherent blind spots, we find that morality must be rooted in something outside of ourselves, and only the example of the incarnate Christ is firm foundation enough for discerning right from wrong.

    A CLASH OF WORLDVIEWS In our passage this morning, Paul is speaking to the faithful in the church at the Greek colony of Colossae, now in modern day Turkey. Many of these believers came from a pagan background. They didn’t grow up with the benefit of stories about God’s providence or saving work ...read more

    "Being Transformed To Be More Like Jesus As Worshipper Of God”

    Contributed by Barnabas Park on Jan 8, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,404 views

    To worship God we have to be transformed by renewing our minds. Being transformed means being more like Jesus because Jesus is the best example of living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God. To be transformed like Jesus, we have to renew our minds resembling the mind of Jesus.

    “Being Transformed to be more like Jesus as Worshipper of God” (Romans 12:1-2) V.1 Therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship. V. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but ...read more

    Fathers Day 2023

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Sep 7, 2023
     | 1,606 views

    Ever tried moving on loose sand? Our relationship with God is important as it always ensures we have a secure footing. A couple of examples this Fathers Day of how we are defined. We are defined through our relationship with our Heavenly Father as we come to him through The Son.

    Father’s Day 2023 Father’s Day and we all have different experiences of Fatherhood, the truth is that we will all have different experiences even as siblings of the same Father. One of my sons has a thing with me that when we get together, we will go for a walk and a chat where the other one and ...read more

    The Birthright (2008)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,000 views

    When we make problems for ourselves where God had intended for us to make progress, we cannot usually reset our course. The Old Testament story about the Esau’s birthright that he surrendered to his brother Jacob is perhaps one of the best examples of this.

    THE BIRTHRIGHT Text: Hebrews 12:16 President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said, “Our problems are man made; therefore they may be solved by men. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.” There is a lot ...read more

    Sermon # 51 - Obedience God Desires Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 16, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 427 views

    Joseph and Mary are great examples of ones who implicitly obeyed God, and thereby were instrumental in being channels to bring forth and raise Jesus, the Son of God. Are we willing to obey God, despite not having logical reasons to do so and even when it is hard to do so?

    For our meditation today we will consider 1 Samuel 15:22, “And Samuel said, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.” (ESV) The prophet Samuel spoke these ...read more

    Character Study Of Jonah Series

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Mar 23, 2025
     | 628 views

    Jonah’s story is a powerful example of God’s mercy, human weakness, and the necessity of obedience. His journey from rebellion to reluctant obedience and his struggle with God’s grace teach us that God’s will must be done, and His mercy extends to all who repent.

    CHARACTER STUDY OF JONAH – PROPHET SENT TO NINEVEH By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Jonah 1:1-2 "Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me." Supporting ...read more

    Paul wants to provide the Thessalonicans with every possible incentive to continue in the faith as they develop their church in the midst of opposition.

    Paul’s Missionary Approach To the Thessalonicans Coming to Thessalonica, Paul and Silas were able to preach in the synagogue for only three weeks with outstanding success despite incredible opposition. Quickly, the Jews incited a riot against the missionaries and their host, Jason. (Acts 17:1-9) ...read more

    Elders In The Congregation Part 2 Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 20, 2018
     | 7,197 views

    When Paul left Crete, there were certain things that still needed to be set in order; there were false teachers to be silenced, and there was the pressing need for recognized spiritual guides in the assemblies. He left Titus to handle these matters.

    Chapter 1, Verses 5-9 Title: Elders in the Congregation For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of ...read more

    God has given us some incredibly insightful guidance for blessing our children.

    "Teach Your Children Well" Ephesians 1-4 We hear so much about parents and their children today on the television and in newspaper articles.
