Slipping Down The Lifeline – But Not To The End (We Hope) Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 17, 2022

There is the lifeline that connects our communion with the Lord but we can slip and fail, and so we slip down that lifeline of communion. Many of the great men of God failed but were wonderfully restored in the comfort of God. What can we lose as we slip? How do we return?

SLIPPING DOWN THE LIFELINE – BUT NOT TO THE END (we hope) Tales are told of people in rescue attempts trying to hold on to a rope in the stormy sea or raging river and over time their grip lessens and through fatigue they slip further and further down the rescue rope until they disappear.

Faith That Waits Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 10, 2026

When God’s ways are confusing and His answers delayed, true faith anchors itself in God’s unchanging character, wrestles honestly without accusation, and chooses watchful waiting rather than walking away.

The fading memory of King Josiah’s reforms only intensified his anguish, highlighting just how far Judah had fallen. No longer were the people allowing the law of the Lord to guide their lives. ...read more

Sermon # 45 - Give God The Rightful Place Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 28, 2025
