Ask And Seek The Right Thing! Knock At The Right Door! Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Jul 22, 2013

Matthew 7:7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. The standard message on this passage is, we need to ask, and when we ask God ...read more

Breaking Down Barriers Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 24, 2020

Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.

Normally I’m more careful about posting about controversial matters so I wasn’t prepared for all the venomous vitriol and overwhelming opposition. One person simply replied, “Oh ...read more

Sermon # 14 - The Way Of The Cross Part 3 - Who Is Jesus To You? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 17, 2025

The people in Jesus’ day had various perception of who He was, but Peter the disciple of Jesus truly understood who Jesus was. The important question we need to ask ourselves is, “Who is Jesus to us personally?” The answer to this is vital both for now and for eternity.
