     | 6,147 views

    Christmas is about hope. The same hope that we see in the children at Christmas is the same hope that Jesus brought with him at his birth.

    I Hope, I Hope, I Hope John 3:16,17 Intro: This morning, for just a moment, I am the ghost of Christmas past. I want each and every one of you to think back to a Christmas when you were a small child. For some it will be easy, it was not that long ago. For some of us, it will stretch our memory ...read more

    Isaiah 57:1 NIV The righteous perish, and no one ponders it in his heart; devout men are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil.

    When Death Has Taken My Loved One

     | 22,477 views

    Though unnatural, death comes to all. How shall we respond to death? We explore this neglected subject by looking at an incident in the ministry of Ezekiel.

    “The word of the LORD came to me: ‘Son of man, behold, I am about to take the delight of your eyes away from you at a stroke; yet you shall not mourn or weep, nor shall your tears run down. Sigh, but not aloud; make no mourning for the dead. Bind on your turban, and put your shoes on your feet; ...read more

    Immanuel: He Drives Away Our Fears

     | 3,813 views

    Advent 1987: Ahaz let fear drive him to sacrifice the best that he had and to mire down in "what if". God through Isaiah offered the ultimate sign of hope, His own presence, who drives away our fears.

    The birth of a child has many layers of meaning. When a baby is born into a family, there can be all kinds of different feelings, all sorts of different meanings. For one family, this is indeed a blessed event, filled with joy, running over with excitement, the fulfillment of hopes and dreams and ...read more

    “We can live forty days without food, eight days without water, four minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope”....How do we understand and therefore respond to the kind of world we are living in today?

    Our world is experiencing an uncertain time, a defining moment in the history of this planet. That is not an over dramatization of the events of the last month but rather a prophetic perspective of the years ahead. It seems summed up by the lament of a volunteer rescue worker in New York City, ...read more

    The Criteria For An Apostolic Replacement Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 24, 2017
     | 6,554 views

    Matthias was evidently a good man. He met the requirements of an apostle, which meant he must have been with the Lord from His baptism by John until His ascension; and, more importantly, he must have been a witness of the resurrection,as the others were.

    JESUS THE WORD OF GOD John 1:1-18 One of the names of the Lord Jesus Christ is "The Word." 1. THE WORD WAS GOD’S POWER AT WORK IN CREATION (John 1:1-3). (i) In the beginning was the Word.

    Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

    We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more

    We are admonished to put away the false God’s from before us. Let us look at what God’s word tells us in light of this.

    Put Away False God’s God often allows the ungodly to amass great wealth--to their destruction. But if you are one with whom God is dealing and if you put the pursuit of riches (or anything else) before service to Christ, God may take away those riches (and other things) until you turn to Him. Some ...read more

    We've followed our leader from the Jordan to a tomb. Now what?

    Our series’ focus this quarter has been on “following our leader.” We’ve watched and experienced through his disciples’ eyes and ears what He did and said. Clearly they were meant to learn and imitate Him. So are we. We’ve followed all the way from the Jordan river where Jesus’ earthly ministry and ...read more

    Easter: This short sermon reflects on how Jesus Christ, through the resurrection, has rolled away the enormous stone of sin in our life.

    We gather here this morning to remember and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The gospel writers put a great amount of time into sharing the details of our Lord’s trial and crucifixion; however, the account of the resurrection is contained in only a few short passages; and yet the ...read more
