The Center Of Life Series

Contributed by Tim Hinrichs on Mar 30, 2021

Jesus is the center of the universe and is meant to be the center of the church and the center of our lives.

As a child I was an avid reader and one of the first novels I ever read was by Jules Verne –“Journey to the Center of the Earth.” It was amazing as this crew boarded a rocket that drilled itself into the core of the earth and discovered it was hollow. There was a whole new world they didn’t know ...read more

The 2000 Year Question

Contributed by Walter Troup on Jul 23, 2018

People were always coming to Jesus to receive something, but one of the leaders of the Pharisee's came to Jesus with a question that everyone needs to ask for themselves.

Open your Bibles to John 3. This morning we are going to continue with one of the things that we talked about last week and that is the word “believe.” Now this morning we are going to look at a conversation that Jesus had with a man named Nicodemus. Now before we read from the scripture, ...read more

Saved By Grace Through Faith Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 17, 2022

The Bible says people are saved by grace through faith. But what does that mean? The short answer is that when people accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, they are saved from going to hell when they die.

Saved by grace through faith. As we continue in our series Gripped by Grace, today we are going to consider Ephesians 2:8-9 “God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none ...read more

The Promise Of The Cross Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 17, 2022

The Crucifixion of Jesus is at the centre of the Message of the Gospel.

The first Easter morning 2000 years ago must have begun with sadness. I can imagine the followers of Jesus waking up and remembering what had happened, recalling the horror of Friday, remembering that their friend was dead and thinking their dreams were shattered. But then a shout, He’s alive, the ...read more

Searching For The Everlasting Life

Contributed by Lonnie Erwin on Feb 5, 2023

Many live today in public they portray a different persona than when they are alone. He let down his guard. He is searching to fill the emptiness in his life that only can be filled by Jesus.

John 3:1-17 There was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. 2 This man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, "Rabbi, we know that You are a teacher come from God; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him." 3 Jesus answered and said to him, ...read more

Being 'born from above' will create a new person

John 3:1-17 Today's scripture from John contains probably one of the best-known lines of text in the Bible.

Nick At Night Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Dec 22, 2021

If you want to see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again, the Son of Man must be lifted up, and you must believe.

Through his humor, Bill Waterson has a way to make you think about life. He’s the author of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strips; and some time ago, he drew Calvin (a little boy) hurtling down a snowy slope on a sled with his friend Hobbes (a tiger). Calvin: I'm getting nervous about ...read more

Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 23, 2021

Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving. But there’s a little bit more to it than that. And my goal this evening is that you don’t miss what Jesus intended Christmas to be ...read more

Nicodemus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 29, 2021

Nicodemus Is one of those interesting and important people we meet in the Bible. Jesus met with him and told him that he must be born again. However, He could not understand how someone could enter again into their mothers womb. He missed Jesus' point completely.

Note: form will not accept Scripture ref. (John 3:3) and topics (Nic. meets secretely with Jesus) (Nic. defends Jesus) Nicodemus— Who was Nicodemus in the Bible? All that we know about Nicodemus in the Bible is from the Gospel of John. In John 3:1 , he is described as a Pharisee. The ...read more

Jesus Christ: Our Divine Teacher, Part 1

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 30, 2021

John 3 introduces us to Nicodemus, a religious man who seemed sincere in wanting to know more about Jesus. He received the greatest lesson in that a real relationship with God is made possible only by the finished work of Christ on the cross and His resurrection.

The third chapter of John's Gospel gives us a portrait of the Lord Jesus as the Divine Teacher. He has already been presented as the Light, The Word of God, the Lamb of God, and the Messiah. Now He gives His attention to teach us how to flee the darkness of this world and come to the Light, ...read more

Why Did God Send Jesus? (John 2:23-3:21) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 9, 2022

When we look at Judeans' rejection of Jesus, it's an open question. Did God want his people to be condemned, or not?

Last week, I worked very hard to end on a sour note. Let's reread 2:23-24: (23) Now, while he was in Jerusalem during the Passover at the feast, many gave allegiance to his name, seeing his signs that he was doing. (24) Now, Jesus himself wasn't giving his own allegiance to them because ...read more
