Come To The Other Side

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 10, 2024

Two disciples were challenged to cross the sea of Galilee. It takes faith to cross over, and we must make the crossing if we ever hope to be in God's will. Crossing over is about moving from where we are to where Jesus is.

“Many years ago, it was decided to put a suspension bridge across a wide gorge. How could they build a bridge across such a wide space? If fact, how could they even start?

The Good Soldier-2(2025)

Contributed by Byron Sherman on Jun 3, 2025

2 of 2. Paul encouraged Timothy as a 'good soldier' of Christ Jesus. The level of commitment needed, for a believer to fulfill their calling in Christ, is comparable to that of a good soldier. BUT...What rules does a ‘good soldier’ live by?

A Tale Of Two Churches

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Jul 5, 2025

A Sermon for a Church who have just recieved a new priest (not me) - that the secret of growth won't be him - it will be them.

Who here would like St Jo’s to grow? [presume lots of hands go up] So [go round asking people] what would it be like if St Jo’s grew significantly? [take a reasonable number of answers to unpack the question – before returning to the sanctuary] Jesus stands in the middle of the crowd and says ...read more

It’s Not About The Prodigal Son

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 16, 2025

This message is about three parables that Jesus told that, although separated in Scripture, is really one message about how we should respond when someone repents and accepts Christ as Lord and Savior.

It’s Not About The Prodigal Son The title of my message this morning is “It’s Not About the Prodigal Son.” This sermon title might not make sense to some of you but I promise you that by the end you will understand what the Spirit is saying to us through this title. When the Bible was translated ...read more

I Must Be Born Again? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 7, 2024

When you see Nicodemus before you, it is difficult to imagine a person more qualified to be a good human being. Yet, he was a moral and spiritual failure. The Bible wants you to be asking yourself this question, “If Nicodemus’ faith enough?” If I have the faith of Nicodemus, is that enough?

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Sep 26, 2025

God meets us in our deepest pain, offering hope and love through Christ, transforming our cries into praise and gathering us into His redeemed people.

Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache. You smiled at the door, shook a hand or two, found your seat, but there’s a knot that won’t untie. A prayer that feels unanswered. A hurt that won’t heal on a schedule. A memory that still stings. If that’s you, you are not alone. God sees you. He is ...read more

Some mornings feel like reruns. Same burdens. Same battles. Same buttons being pushed by the same people. You wake up with good intentions, yet old habits hang on like heavy coats in summer.

Friend, if your shoulders feel a bit slumped today, if your breath is a bit short and your steps a bit slow, you’re in the right place. You’re in a sanctuary where God knows how tired feet feel and how heavy hearts carry what no one else sees. You’re seen, you’re loved, and you’re not forgotten. ...read more

Friends, welcome. Pull up a chair in your heart and take a deep breath. Some of us walked in with a smile on our face and a storm in our soul.
