    In the midst of this pandemic, where do we find hope? What do we have to grasp onto to steady us? Where is our light in all of this darkness? Where is our anchor, our lifeline in this storm? In the Bible.

    Well … I don’t have to tell you, the whole world as we know it is undergoing something I’ve never seen in my lifetime … and I hope that I will never see anything like this again in my lifetime … however long that might be. In two months, everything has been turned upside down and inside out as ...read more

    Sermon – Experiencing Freedom From Darkness

     | 224 views

    Satan’s power only lies in darkness, smoke and mirrors. Though the darkness may seem deep, engulfing, and suffocating, it has no real hold on the believer. The believer has been called out of darkness into the marvelous light.

Here we take off the rose coloured glasses and look, with a degree of reality, at the world we live in. I was talking to someone the other day about watching television and ...read more

    Today: There is no room for darkness in the life of a Christian.

    Saturday - The Day Of Darkness And Hopelessness Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 11, 2022
     | 9,988 views

    The biblical record of what took place on that Saturday between crucifixion Friday and resurrection Sunday is very brief. It was the Sabbath, and the disciples kept the Sabbath. There are important lessons for us to learn from what the disciples were surely going through on that dark Saturday.

    A. There’s an old saying that goes “It’s always darkest before the dawn.” 1. The saying is meant to suggest that things always seem to get worse before they get better. 2. And the saying also suggests that the dawn will come, that we need to persevere through hard times, because things will get ...read more
