     | 3,348 views

    There is a cure for sin, and Paul was relentless in giving the remedy to all he encountered. Are you?

    Paul lived a very powerful life. Responsible for writing most of the NT, he took the news of Jesus Christ into the world with a passion and attitude more fitting a soldier than a pastor! You talk about amped??? You couldn’t keep this guy down! You could beat him, flog him, throw him in stocks, ...read more

    Pigs Or People, Swine Or Souls

    After healing the demoniac, Jesus sent the demons into the pigs who ran into the sea and drown. Those who watched seem more concerned about the pigs than about the healing of this man. A microcosm of today????

    PIGS OR PEOPLE; SWINE OR SOULS Jerry Watts Mark 5:6-20 * Chapter 5 is very interesting. It contains 43 verses with 2 major stories. Each of these stories, as we’ll come to see, has a ‘story in a story’. It is the kind of narrative which escapes the casual or superficial reader. ...read more

    This sermon gives a description of Hell and why it should be avoided at all costs.

    WHAT IN HELL DO YOU WANT? Luke 16: 19-24 Intro: People have got a serious misconception of Hell. Though they believe it to be a place that’s hot, they also believe it to be a place where they will spend the rest of their existence living in any way they desire.

    You Got What You Wanted, But You Lost What You Had!

     | 42,283 views

    We must guard against pursuing our desires at the expense of do what honours God. Christians, especially, can lose effectiveness in service if they fail to consider the cost of their choices.

    GENESIS 25:29-34 YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANTED, BUT YOU LOST WHAT YOU HAD! [1] Once when Jacob was cooking stew, Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted. And Esau said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am exhausted!” (Therefore, his name was called Edom.) Jacob said, “Sell me ...read more

    There are specific reasons Christ opened the door of opportunity for the church at Philadelphia. Christ also gives promises to churches, though they be of a little strength, who respond in faith by going through the door of opportunity.

    Revelation 3:7-13 THE FAITHFUL CHURCH [1 Corinthians 16:9 ] The church at Philadelphia was a church that was worthy of praise. Christ hands out their praise liberally. Jesus did not wait for their work to be perfect or for their character to be ...read more

    The Parable Of The Sower Series

    Not everyone you share the gospel with will have hardened hearts. You should have hope. There are those who will receive the gospel for what it is, the words of eternal life.

    Why is it that one person responds to the gospel and is deeply moved and all they can think and talk about is sharing Christ with others while at the same time another person seems unmoved that Jesus died for them? You find one person moved to tears by the gospel and another cold and distant. Not ...read more

    A look at Jesus is asking us to identify with in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The critical question is, can we be merciful without remaining connected to our own need for mercy?

    Today is Palm Sunday, today we are celebrating the Triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. I am sure you guys know the story, Jesus rides a young colt into Jerusalem and the Passover crowd goes wild. They lay their coats and palm fronds onto the street to cover his path and the cried Hosanna to ...read more

     | 5,273 views

    Responding to the example of the friends that brought their crippled friend to Jesus, we are challenged to invite others, to expect God to do amazing things, and to praise God in response.

    “Faces in the Crowd” – Luke 5 This is the second message in our series entitled “Faces in the Crowd”. This series focuses on a number of characters found in the Gospels, whose names are briefly mentioned, typically appearing in one story and then we seldom read of their story again.
