    Ignorance Is Killing Us!

    Contributed by Kelly Durant on May 2, 2015
     | 16,332 views

    Ignorance takes on many forms concerning the basic functioning of relationships and society, but most of all ignorance of the Word of God is causing our society to implode! Ignorance is wastefully degrading our organized systems and causing undue damage!

    Ignorance Is Killing Us! By Kelly Durant 5-3-15 Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy ...read more

    A Family Photo

    Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 2, 2013
     | 4,888 views

    Family portraits are wonderful. But they can also be deceiving as many families are far from the happy group pictured. Acts 2:42-47 is a family portrait that portrays the early church when they were a happy group. What can we learn?

    “Connected: A Family Portrait” Dt. 4:5-14; Acts 2:42-47 Family portraits are wonderful. We cherish seeing loved ones all connected together, providing a picture that will produce memories for the ages. But family portraits can also be deceiving. Many families are far from the happy, ...read more

    They Were A Spirit-Filled Church Series

    Contributed by Ralph Jenkins on May 28, 2013
     | 8,913 views

    We have before us today a picture of the model church. You’ve heard me say; “if our church could be any kind of church our church wanted to be what kind of church would our church be?” The answer is found here in Acts 2:42-47.

    They Were a Spirit Filled Church Acts 2:42-47 We began our study in Acts 1-2 with the idea that God was able to do so much in and through the first church because of their belief. They believed in all that Jesus ever began to and teach, they believed in the resurrection, they believed in the ...read more

    If you have experienced the Father's Love in Christ at Christmas, this is not the end of all things but the beginning of everything: If anyone is in Christ, he is a new Creation.

    The Father’s Opened Gift 2 Corinthians 5:11-17 We have been looking at some of the gifts of the Almighty God in sending Jesus, the Messiah, the one-and-only-one-of-a-kind “Son of God”, anointed to come to earth in the Flesh to demonstrate the lavish Love of God in Christ’s ...read more

    Fixed With Gold

    This thought is a work in progress. I have been meditating on how the Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold displays the gospel. I'm sure I will preach this thought again and better.

    Fixed With Gold In our home there are a few dishes that are highly prized. They have value to us because of the giver. There are a couple of glasses that were gifts from my father-in-law to my mother-in-law. There are stories behind them. There is a candy dish Sister Burnett gave us recently. ...read more

    Work Six Rest One! (Labor Day)

    We all have different ideas about what would be the ideal life, and we all strive to acquire it. We will never have the ideal life until we get to heaven.

    Some say that heaven will not be heaven for some people. Illus: That reminds me of the story one of the fellows in church told me. He told me that Bill, Ron, and Jack all died and went to heaven. When they got there, they discovered the most beautiful golf course they had ever seen. St. Peter ...read more

    The Resurrection - The Devoted Women At The Tomb – Resurrection Message For Easter – Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 29, 2023
     | 2,871 views

    It was Resurrection Sunday and a little group of devoted women were at the tomb to honour the Lord in burial, but He was not there. Sadness turned to shock which left the women perplexed and horrified. We will concentrate on this group of loyal women on that Resurrection Sunday.

    THE RESURRECTION - THE DEVOTED WOMEN AT THE TOMB – RESURRECTION MESSAGE FOR EASTER – PART 1 [A]. INTRODUCTION TO RESURRECTION As I am sure you all realise, this Sunday is Resurrection Sunday.

    The goal of this sermon is not to “hit you up” for money but to provide you with sound doctrine on tithing so that you might be good stewards by sharing with one another the blessings you have received.

    Is Your All On The Altar Of Sacrifice Laid? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 17, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,721 views

    If God hated human sacrifice, why would He ask Abraham to offer his only son as a burnt offering to Him? And what can this story mean to us?

    CHILDREN'S STORY (I used a flannel graph display on the overhead) In the days of Abraham, one of the ways people showed their love for God by offering Him a sacrifice. A sacrifice is like a gift. It’s something you give to God to show Him you are willing to obey Him, even when it costs you ...read more

     | 7,224 views

    This sermon deals with the church's 5th year anniversary, but instead of casting a vision of what the church should do, the focus is on what the church should become.

September 9, 2018 Numbers 13:26-33 Acts 16: 6-10 It was five years ago today that we came together to merge Glenville New Life Community Church together with Calvary Presbyterian Church to give birth to New Life At Calvary.

    Anticipation of the Master’s return generates a sense of anticipation in His people.

    “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

    Be Fruitful And Multiply

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 18, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,167 views

    The Creator's command, "Be Fruitful and Multiply," is largely ignored by the people of God today. We have much to learn even with the second part of His command to subdue the earth.

    “God blessed [the man and the woman]. And God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.’” [1] Undoubtedly, I am venturing into ...read more
