    Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Jan 23, 2022
     | 4,425 views

    We can never comprehend the cosmic struggle Jesus experienced in the Garden of Gethsemane the night before his crucifixion. The sermon helps us to see the emotional struggle between Jesus’ human and divine sides, and what that teaches us.

    #58 The Bitter Cup of Gethsemane Series: Mark Chuck Sligh January 23, 2022 TEXT: Mark 14:43-52 - "And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 And he that ...read more

    Building Blocks In God's Holy House

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 23, 2022
     | 2,416 views

    We are “living stones,” called to be linked with one another in Christ, tightly integrated like stones in a wall. This requires us to strengthen our connections with each other, in fellowship, mutual support, and prayer.

    God has given us a real blessing in this church building. In many ways, it’s a hub for congregational life. It serves as a centre of our worship, our learning and study, and it’s a place for our communion together. It’s a good gift of God to us. Yet how does the Bible speak about our places of ...read more

    One of the most difficult sermons a pastor has to preach is a “Mother’s Day” sermon.

    Why? For the same reason you spend a great deal of time searching through the Hallmark Cards trying to find the perfect card that will begin to convey how deeply you feel about your mother. If that is a strain on us consider the strain that puts on us preachers trying to preach a message ...read more

    What was America like in July of 1776? As our founding fathers and 56 men of faith and courage signed their names to "The Declaration of Independence," it was considered to be their death certificate, because king George most assuredly would have killed every one of them had they won the ...read more

    When the church first began, those first disciples of Jesus devoted themselves to the apostles' teachings. The New Testament contains the apostles' teaching and as followers of Jesus today, we must also devote ourselves to the apostles' teaching.
