Words That Cause Stumbling Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on Sep 11, 2015

The word "doctrines" has almost become a "dirty word" in many Christian circles. Often times when people hear a difficult teaching, or "doctrine", they become disenchanted and at times even divisive. Jesus spoke to this tendency in John 6.

“Words that Cause Stumbling” John 6:59-64 Last week we ended with these verses from John 6:56 "He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him. 57 "As the living Father sent Me, and I live ...read more

A Faith Worth Fighting For - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023

Part 2 in a series of sermons from the short and often neglected letter of Jude. Jude reveals the nature of the false teaching and the character of the false teachers.

Open back up to Jude. Last week we discussed some introductory matters (vv 1-4). Jude is one of the most neglected books of the Bible because of its brevity, difficult subject matter (judgment of false teachers), and its reference to non-canonical books (we will address that today). Written by ...read more

God’s Fire

God’s fire is God's power, authority, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding hidden in the Crucified Christ which flows like fire. This fire flows from the throne of God.

True Repentance Series

Contributed by Norest Hoko on Sep 20, 2025

One day in my study I read and and pondered on the verse of Scripture, John 3:1-3 , Where a Pharisee Nicodemus went to Jesus to confirm that truly Jesus was sent from God.What surprised me was Jesus' reply that "no man unless he is born again will see the kingdom of God"

I’ve been reflecting on a powerful truth: two men can receive the same divine revelation, yet have completely different spiritual conditions. This is strikingly illustrated in the lives of two very different people: Peter, a simple fisherman, and Nicodemus, a highly educated teacher of the Jewish ...read more
