The Spirit Of Slave Laws Series

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Oct 30, 2021

The topic of slavery is a very emotional one, because most people only know of corrupt forms of slavery and because the threat of such slavery still exists in the modern world. However, we need to learn that kidnapping and enforced slavery were also forbidden in the Bible.

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 25, 2020

6 Who Do You Say I Am? Series

Contributed by Steve Pearman on Nov 7, 2025

In a world full of opinions about Jesus, we’re invited to respond personally — not with borrowed beliefs or second-hand faith, but with a heart that truly knows Him.

Welcome Home

Contributed by Joanne Chan on Feb 7, 2018

This sermon looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son, and explores the relationship between the father, the younger son, and the older son. The intertwined relationship of this family shows that love and respect should be the key values of our church.

Lately I have been binge watching this new American TV series called “This is us”. It’s about a family with triplets and their intertwining stories with each other now, when the characters are grown up, but it constantly flashes back to their childhood times. It shows how their loving parents ...read more
