    The Church Is Missional Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 5, 2022
     | 3,676 views

    The focus of this sermon is that the church not only is about the sending short and long-term missionaries, but that the Church exists for missions and that every Christian is a missionary.

    We have been going through a six-part series called The Nature of the Church. You may recall when I started the series I said that there were basically three aspects that help give definition to the church. I said the church was Christ initiated. The church is a spiritual community. The ...read more

    Too many churches have forgotten that there is an entry into God’s kingdom, the way of the new birth, in order to become children of the living God, and instead, they seem to be content that people just come to church. Nicodemus had to learn the necessity of the new birth - AND HE DID.

    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 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.

    Children Of The Devil

    Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,980 views

    Our earthly heritage isn't important, but our spiritual heritage is. Just as we reflect the image of our earthly fathers – so also we reflect the image of our spiritual father. If you want to know whether you’re a child of God or a child of the devil – just take a look in the mirror.

    Jesus says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’ (v44) I wonder ...read more
