Aspects Of Endurance

Contributed by Lucy Paynter on Oct 21, 2023

If we lived a life of constant health, wealth, and happiness we would become a weak and ineffective Christians: assuming we were somehow capable of maintaining our relationship with Jesus.

Aspects of Endurance Of course, the need for enduring does not mean we adopt a persecuted-prophet perspective or conduct ourselves so zealously that we induce hardships. It does one no good to manufacture hardships so that they can practice endurance. The endurance Christ repeatedly urges ...read more

A Prosperity Message

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jul 23, 2016

Don't we all want to be richly blessed, that comfortable retirement, the slippers beside the fire, the 2.5 kids visiting with the 2.5 grandchildren and a golden labrador. Blessings are a wonderful thing!

Blessings are wonderful things, amazing things, don’t we all like to receive a blessing? I love it when someone says bless you or God bless you, it makes me happy, real warm fuzzy stuff.

Malachi Chapter 3 Has Nothing To Do With The False Prosperity Doctrine – Nothing Whatever (In The Jude Series) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022

The preachers of the “health and wealth” teaching - the "prosperity doctrine", love this chapter in Malachi but they are totally wrong in the exegesis. They use this chapter to rake in money from people. False teachers lead people into a desire for greed and then scam money from them.

MALACHI CHAPTER 3 HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FALSE PROSPERITY DOCTRINE – NOTHING WHATEVER This message has been placed in the JUDE series because Balaam is very much to the fore. Balaam was a focus in Jude’s letter. The preachers who subscribe to the “health and wealth” teaching otherwise known ...read more

How Rich Are We?

Contributed by Ricky Johnson on Sep 12, 2009

A sermon to share with the congregation the need for serious and steady prayer concerning our church’s annual budget and the giving of the church.

The internet is a wonderful source of information; although some is trivial, some useless, some is motivational, and some mind-numbing. Just for fun I went to a site called "Global Rich List." On this site there is a block where you insert your annual income, click on another button and it will ...read more

Shipping Out Shame Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

The paradox is that the only way we can get back to Paul's position of not being ashamed of the Gospel is to add to our lives shame for all that is not the Gospel. We need to be embarrassed by all of the false gospels of our day.

It is on the highest interest level to hear of people's most embarrassing moments. Jane Wyman tells of hers. She was preparing for very important guests and she put a note on the guest towels that she had so carefully selected. The note read, "If you use these I will murder you." ...read more

True security and joy come from valuing eternal treasures over earthly ones, letting Jesus shape our desires, vision, and devotion above all else.

Friends, welcome. Some weeks feel like a whirlwind of receipts and reminders, alerts and anxieties.
