This sermon deals with being so busy we miss God in our very present’s.

Missing God. Gen:28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.

Attempts To Bury The Truth

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jan 21, 2010

The history of our world has demonstrated that earthly kings tend to be very vulnerable people who sit upon uneasy thrones that are subject to topple in the most unexpected ways.

Jesus is the light of the world who through his birth brought new hope to the world.

Today is the fourth, and final, Sunday of Advent. Very shortly we will be celebrating Christmas – the festival which bears our Saviour’s name.

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Apr 18, 2011

God usually calls us to be active, but sometimes passive. Passivity can be the more difficult of the two, because it means we accept what God brings without grasping for control. And nowhere do we see surrender to the Father's will exemplified as we do wh

Why Pentecost

Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on Jun 11, 2011

To show that the Holy Spirit was given for the good of the gospel and the Church, not us as individuals. Being controlled by the Spirit is essential in our Christian life, but might make us unpopular.

For many generations, it seems, the coming of the Holy Spirit, his person and his work, were all but ignored by the Church. What the Bible taught about him was believed, but not put into practice very well. Certainly the idea that he is still active in the world and in the Church was not an every ...read more

Trusting God! My text tonight is somewhat unusual when you think about trusting God. However, I find in this Psalm a resounding utterance of a God you can count on. A God you can trust.
