    It is high time that we return to the nature of the Narrow Way. It is high time we learn again the cost of Christianity. Let us look at the principles of the Narrow Way.

    The Narrow Way “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it (Matthew 7.13-14).” Introduction: According to ...read more

    A sermon about the necessity of being properly prepared for the End Times, no matter when they might occur.

    GET RIGHT – OR GET LEFT Pastor Bruce Ball As Christians, we are not supposed to know when the end will occur. However, we are supposed to be aware of the season and of the signs. Today, I want to paint a quick picture of what the Bible tells us of the ending, and then see if there is anything ...read more

    "What Do You Seek?"

    based on 5 ratings
     | 13,322 views

    Jesus asks a very pertinent question of us all. He already knows the answer, so what does that tell us about His motive in asking?

    Also John 18:4, 20:15 “And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?” 1:38 I have wished, in the past that some evangelistic Christian would sit down and have a long talk with Paul ...read more

    In God we have a living hope - Christ who is risen from the dead.

    You might have heard the old saying “where there’s life, there’s hope”. That saying tells us how important hope is to people, because if we reverse it, it says “where there’s hope, there’s life” – which means that where there’s no hope, there’s death. As humans, we live on hope. It feeds us, it ...read more

    I want to address those more this morning, but not without sharing my honest concern in addressing these things, concerns for what some of you may carry from the past; that THE CHURCH IS MORE CONCERNED ABOUT YOUR MONEY THAN YOU

    Twice in the Gospel record we are told that Jesus marveled. Here in Capernaum, He marveled at the faith of a Gentile; and in Nazareth, He marveled at the unbelief of the Jews.

    Luke 7:7 Wherefore neither thought I myself worthy to come unto thee: but say in a word, and my servant shall be healed. Luke 7:8 For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do ...read more

    Sermon preached July 13, 2003 for the 5th Sunday after Pentecost.

    There’s a story that illustrates what we learn through this morning’s gospel reading very well and I struggled with all week to decide how to use it, or even to use it at all, but I decided to use it and tell it in two parts because it seems to really illustrate so well what we’re about to hear ...read more
