     | 5,862 views

    Even when you think you can't deal with it anymore, praise is part of God's plan for moving you forward.l

    Obviously, Koreans are getting a lot of attention from PSY’s video about Gangnam Style, his parody of materialism, status, and shallowness. It’s funny. It’s preposterous. It’s entertaining. But this morning, I want to talk about “Yonggwan Style.” If I ...read more

    This sermon draws material from Chapters 10 and 11 in Charles Swindoll's book, Paul: A Man of Grace and Grit. This sermon draws lessons for our lives and ministry from the first part of Paul's first missionary journey.

    Saving The Local Church And Pastor From Extinction. Series

    Contributed by Jan Oosthuizen on Aug 18, 2019
     | 3,447 views

    More and more people are leaving local institutional churches and pick and choose their spiritual diet on social media. Evangelism, and belonging to a local body of believers is on the increasing decline!

    When the smallest cell in the body is under attack, it brings the demise of the whole. For as long as I can remember, there has always been a tension between the local church pastor and the staff of parachurch organisations. Parachurch organisasions work outside and across denominations to ...read more

    God Pursues His Beloved

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 3,517 views

    God wants to be known personally, intimately, and vitally. He wants us to look to him with deep affection, and to depend on him always, because we know him. So foster that true commitment to God: listening to him, speaking with him, and walking with him.

    Say you’ve met that “special someone.” It’s one you’ve come to love, it’s the one you want to marry. Probably we all can picture this very human event: meeting someone, falling in love, becoming husband and wife. There’s a lot of joy in this great gift! But then something takes place that nobody ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,366 views

    This message is about two tools that our enemy uses against us to keep our focus off things we need to be doing for the Lord. Those tools are diversions and distractions.

    The Power of Diversions and Distractions Scripture: Second Corinthians 2:10-11; Joshua 9:3-14; Deuteronomy 20:10-11 Good morning Strangers Rest. This morning I am going to ask you to give me your undivided attention. Yeah, I know I should not have to ask, but as you listen to this message, it ...read more

    When People See Me - What Do They See?

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Sep 16, 2024
     | 2,836 views

    When people see us they immediately develop impressions of us. If we are a Christian, they will begin to look for Jesus in us. When that happens, will they see Him in our actions; our decisions; and our love for others?

    When People See Me – What Do They See? Scripture: Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43; John 13:34-35 Good morning Strangers Rest. The title of my message today is, “When People See Me – What Do They See?” Now of course the obvious answer is they see us right? But is that true? Do they see “us,” or do they ...read more

    Should Christians Celebrate The Feasts?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 62 views

    The feasts reveal God’s salvation plan, prefiguring Christ’s redemptive work from sacrifice to resurrection, judgment, cleansing, and final restoration in God’s eternal kingdom.

    An Examination of Typology, Covenant, and Christological Fulfillment Introduction Few subjects within biblical theology reveal the unity of Scripture as beautifully as the Old Testament feasts.
