    There is a battle being waged in the realm of the spirit. Good against evil. Light against darkness. This message answers the question: What are they fighting for?

    Good evening family. Good evening the blessed of the Lord! Tonight, we’re going to talk about revival in a little different way. And we’re going to begin in Genesis 1. For those of you who have heard me minister before, Genesis 1 is one of those passages that I come back to over and over and ...read more

    The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

    THE WORD MADE FLESH. John 1:1-14. I. THE ETERNAL WORD. John 1:1-3. “In the beginning” (John 1:1) takes us back to a point before the creation of the heavens and the earth. The New English Bible goes some way towards capturing this dynamic with the expression: “When all things began, the Word ...read more

    Who Are We Really? Series

     | 8,327 views

    Most Christians identify themselves by affiliations or labels. We are Pastor so and so or Apostle so and so or we are Baptists, Methodists, Catholic, etc. The Bible doesn't use any of these to describe who we are in God's eyes.

    DRAWN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD Romans 8:12-17 1. The mortification of sin (Romans 8:12-14) Paul has just commented that “if Christ is in you the body is dead on account of sin” (Romans 8:10). And that “the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make alive) ...read more

    Sermon # 3 - Let Your Light Shine Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,976 views

    As believers in the Lord Jesus we are called to keep our lamps burning bright so that those around us who are still in the darkness of sin and unbelief can come into the light. The question is, “Is are our lamps shining bright for the Lord or are we hiding our lamps?

    It is recorded in Mark 4:21, Jesus said to them, "Does anyone bring a lamp into a room to put it under a basket or under a bed? Isn't it put on a lamp stand? (GW) As we meditate on the questions Jesus asked while here on earth, we realize that these questions were asked to help people ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,419 views

    This sermon is about the man being healed at the Sheep Gate. It is a miracle that steps away from being stuck, stumbling and staring into the waters and allowing Jesus to bring us to a life of victory!

    Scripture: John 5:1-9 Bubbles or Living Water? John 5:1-9 New King James Version (NKJV) A Man Healed at the Pool of Bethesda 5 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,414 views

    What is God’s purpose for establishing the church? Are we fulfilling this purpose or running in the wrong direction like Jonah did? As a church may we realize our purpose and fulfill it at all cost.

    We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (ESV) The word of the Lord we saw in the ...read more

    The healing of the blind man in John 9 is actually symbolic of the glorious work of Christ as He gives sight to each darkened heart who comes to Him by faith.

Thompson (2002) John 9:1-11, 35-38 page 758 in the pew Bible INTRODUCTION In the book of John there is a scene in which a blind man is given his sight and while all of the miracles recorded in John are glorious, I have chosen this one from John’s ...read more

    A great sermon to spice up your Christmas offering. This message looks at the significance of the names Zechariah, Gabriel, Elizabeth and John. Much more interesting than it sounds.

My wife’s name is Michelle it means, ‘Like unto the Lord’, Micah’s name is like it, ‘Like unto Jehovah’.

    A Good Place To Start

     | 14,703 views

    Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

    The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more
