    Contributed by Allan Quak on Mar 30, 2016
     | 11,962 views

    Jesus is not broken by arrest and crucifixion process, so He is able to help us when we are broken

    Message John 19:28-37 “Pierced but Not Broken” What would it take to break you? If you had a secret … a really important secret … how much punishment could you endure before you would give that secret up? What if they started hurting your family members? Would you hand over the secret ...read more

    Message John 4:19-24 Worship In Spirit and Truth What is it about worship, and the issue of worship, which has the potential to create so much dissension among the people of God? I’m not saying that it is happening in our congregation but I am sure you have heard the stories. We know of ...read more

    Message Matthew 5:21-26; 43-48 The Power of Love Humans are interesting creatures aren't they? On the one hand we mostly want to be seen as being good people who are doing the right thing and who make a positive contribution to the community. On the other hand – in order to achieve this ...read more

     | 5,035 views

    The Ninth Commandment teaches that believers have been transformed from an old way of life to a new way of living, therefore our lives must be free from lying and false witness.

    Message Colossians 3:9-10 The Truth Matters We are up to the ninth commandment in our series. You shall not give false testimony against your neighbour. Exodus 20:16 Which is actually not as simple as it sounds. Imagine that you are a Christian who is living in Syria. ISIS has come to your door ...read more

    God's Eye View

    Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Apr 4, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,999 views

    Tough love or tender love. The disciples toiling in rowing, and Jesus unusual response. (He would have passed them by.) When we get close to God we will have sympathy for others, we can also gain insight into the best way to help them.

    God's Eye View Intro: In many video games there is something called, "God's Eye View." What they mean by that is seeing things from a much better perspective and vantage point. For example, if we had a battle scene, there is the perspective of the individual soldier facing enemies that his limited ...read more

    Paul reminds us that even though we are married and have a family, God and our relationship with Him is still the priority in our life.

    When Jesus died the disciples had to wait for the promise of the Father. None of us like to wait. If we are willing to wait we will discover hope waits in order to develop us!

    Intro: How many of you like to wait? I will just be honest I don’t like it at all. In fact I do everything I can to keep from waiting. I try to calculate in my non-mathematical head which Wal-Mart line will be the quickest and in my hurry I end up choosing the wrong one. I don’t ...read more

    Holy, Holy, Holy

    Contributed by Dr. Robert Crowder on Apr 16, 2016
     | 20,234 views

    There are only two places where we see the expression in the Bible, “Holy, Holy, Holy.” Isaiah 6:3 and the Apostle John’s praise and worship of God found in Revelation 4:8. Why is God considered Holy? Why did the Seraphim say Holy three times?

    Introduction I love that hymn, “Holy, Holy, Holy” written by Reginald Heber (1783-1826) and John B. Dykes (1823-1876) Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty," read Reginald Heber's widow. Among her dead husband's papers, she found the words of one of the most powerful and beautiful hymns ...read more

    We are not created for death; We were created for life, but unfortunately we chose death in that Garden so long ago. We were in a prison of our own making and there was no escape until we were recalled to life.

    Total Recall Ezekiel 37:1-10NLT Introduction: Most of you have heard of Charles Dickens’ book~ “The Tale of Two Cities.” "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times," Charles Dickens writes in the opening lines as he paints a picture of life in England and ...read more

    Transformation: Possible--The Transformation Of Zacchaeus Series

    Contributed by Lynn Malone on Apr 26, 2016
     | 10,904 views

    This sermon reflects on the transformation of Zacchaeus from taker to giver, from greedy to generosity and seeks to discover how we might apply that same transformation to our lives.

    Okay. We can’t read Zacchaeus without doing some short jokes, right? Why do short people get mad so easily? Because they have short tempers! Unfortunately, I crashed into the back of a car at the lights today. A really short guy got out of the car and said, “I’m not ...read more

    Jesus calls us to recognise the devastating consequences, namely an eternal place in Gehenna, when we allow sin to impact our lives. We need to take radical action against our sin.

    Message Mark 9:42-50 “Cut Off Your Sinning Hand”. What would it take for you to cut off one of your limbs? Aron Ralston … If you have seen the movie 127 hours it is a movie about him.

    Becoming A Difference Maker

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 2, 2016

     | 8,948 views

    This sermon looks at how we can make a positive difference in our communities for Christ. We look at things that we can do 1) Change our thinking (Confession and Repentance). 2) Meet the needs of others, and 3) Share the Gospel message.

    Becoming A Difference Maker It's easy to assume that because we’re just one person we can’t possibly make or affect any sort of real change or difference. In "It’s A Wonderful Life", Jimmy Stewart plays a man named George Bailey. George has big dreams, but instead he winds up ...read more
