    Reading Light, Leading Light Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022
     | 1,068 views

    People see the world from different angles. I’d like to suggest that the Holy Spirit gives us Christ’s perspective. We need to start seeing the world through Christ-colored glasses, which is not the same as rose-colored glasses. Jesus saw compassionately, but he also saw clearly and realistically.

    How many of you own a flashlight? I probably have half a dozen, and most of them have dead batteries in them. I’d be lost without the flashlight app on my smart phone, because it’s always charged. It works. It helps me see where I’m going. It is, to use Jesus’ word, healthy. I think you can all ...read more

    We Are Salt And Light Series

    Continuation of the series "Who We are in Christ." We are called to be an influence in the world.

    Who are we “in Christ?” What is our purpose “in Christ?" Think on that for a moment. If we are “in Christ” we are “saved.” We talked about that we are “a new creation in Christ” (2 Corinthians 5:17). If there was no further purpose for us on earth after our conversion, why are we not taken ...read more

    What did Jesus mean when he declared "I am the light of the world?"

    Back in the Old Testament, we read that the Israelites had been in Egypt for 400 years, much of that time as slaves. Finally, when the time was right, God sent Moses to lead the people out of their slavery… into freedom. And for the next 40 years, the Israelites wandered in the desert, being led ...read more

    We are Salt and Light. Jesus has commissioned us. We’re each ordained Christian workers. We are the world’s light. We are salt for the earth. Shine as a light before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

    Today we begin a series of a sermons following Jesus’ teaching in the sermon on the mount. What we’ll discover as we go through is a series of radical interpretations of God’s law, designed to teach his followers how to live lives that are shaped by God’s agenda for the world and for his people, ...read more

    A sermon for Candlmass inspired by David Mitchell's novel "Cloud Atlas". I only discovered the day after giving this that Cloud Atlas is about to be turned in a Hollywood Blockbuster.

    This is Cloud Atlas. [show a physical copy of the book]. I wonder, have you read it perhaps? Or perhaps you heard about it when it was shortlisted for the booker prize. I remember when I read it - it’s not a book you forget. There are six stories in it, and each story breaks off half way ...read more

    We have been chosen as royal priests to be a member of the church on God's kingdom Team! Let us rejoice, not reveling in our blessings but faithfully serving with the spiritual gifts we have been given.

    Is calling someone "peculiar" sort of strange?

    An Exposition of 1 Peter, Part 11: A Peculiar People 1 Peter 2:9-10 Introduction We continue in our study of first Peter today. In the last passage we were reminded of the perils of unbelief.

    Jesus Christ stands before deliberately in front of the candelabra by the treasury and says, “I’m not like the prophets who point to the glory of God. I’m not like the gurus who reflect the glory of God through their consciousness. I am THE glory of God.”

    Directly after this sermon, we invite all believers to take the Lord’s Supper with us at the front. If you genuinely know Jesus Christ, we invite you to participate in the Bread and the Juice to celebrate Jesus’ death and resurrection. Find John 8 with me, if you will. Jesus went around ...read more

    Comparing Jesus to this movement of our time.

    Luke 4:14-21 Is Jesus a Christian Nationalist? This image is often used to communicate the White Christian Nationalist movement. Taken during the January 6th insurrection, we see a solitary white man, his head pressed in prayer against a massive wooden cross, facing the US Capitol ...read more

    This is the fourth of the "Lighting the Fires of Pentecost" sermon series focusing on overcoming the dip in our Spiritual Lives.

    Acts 2:1-21 NIV When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each ...read more

    Believers in Christ are: 1) A People of God’s Possession (1 Peter 2:9c), 2) A People of Proclamation (1 Peter 2:9d), 3) A Privileged People (1 Peter 2:9e) and finally, 4) A Pardoned People (1 Peter 2:10).
