    More Than Coincidence

    There is great symbolism to be found in the events leading up to the cross, and even in the cross itself that God wants to use to draw you to His Son Jesus.

    INTRODUCTION In last week’s message I preached from verses 24-26, and showed you briefly some of the powerful symbolism that was found in the events leading up to the cross. Today I want us to continue that look as we notice more of this symbolism, and I want you to take note of this – it is no ...read more

    For God so loved the world that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

    Luke 2:8-20 NKJV “The Greatest Gift” December 10, 2023 The night God became flesh and walked among men ranks as one of the greatest moments in human history.

    O Little Town Of Bethlehem

     | 54,841 views

    In forty brief words, Micah tells the story of a very special town. Though his words may be brief, they contain a wealth of spiritual truth. The Story Of Bethlehem is a special story that needs to be told and retold. Especially in these days.

    For those not familiar with an Anglican Service; there are four Scripture Readings before the Sermon. The Scripture Readings for this day were: Micah 5: 2-5; Psalm 80:1-7; Hebrews 10:5-10 and Luke 1:39-55. (This Message was reworked December 2015). In 1865, ...... shortly after the Civil war,.... ...read more

    The Christ Of Christmas

     | 13,492 views

    THE DEPTH OF THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS BEING LOST, AS THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF THE WORLD LESSENS. CHRISTMAS IS NO LONGER BEING CELEBRATED AS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF HOPE FOR THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH.

    THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS AS I WAS PREPARING FOR MY MESSAGE TODAY I CAME ACROSS THIS STATEMENT. “AS A WHOLE, PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS WITH MORE ANTICIPATION THAN ANY OTHER SEASON OF THE YEAR.” COMMERCIAL INTERESTS CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE THE COMING CHRISTMAS SEASON. THEY GEAR THEIR ...read more

     | 6,131 views

    At the last supper of the lamb, will you be joining the Lord? Will you have brought others an opportunity to know and experience Christ. Will we go to the highway and bi-ways to reach the lost and dying?

    Wedding Banquet of the Lamb Matthew chapter 22:1-14 Introduction Good Morning, Today we finish up our series “Love worth finding” We have looked at God’s love for us and found that it is boundless and it is unconditional. We have looked at loving others like Christ loves us and saw the only ...read more

    Caught In The Act Of Compassion

    The lost don’t need another critic; they need someone who cares. Like Christ we must not condone their actions, but extend to them loving compassion for their soul.

    Caught In The Act Of Compassion Text: John 8: 1-11 Intro: Of all the accounts mentioned in the New Testament concerning Christ’s dealings with people, the account just read from our text is among my favorites. Not only was this woman’s life being wrecked by her sin, but she was forced to ...read more

    I am coming quickly says the Lord, no one knows the hour, nor the day, not even the angels nor the son of God. Only the Father knows.

    I am coming! I am coming quickly! By Rev. Chad M. Brown Matthew 24:36 (NIV) No one knows the hour, not even the day, not even the angels in heaven, not even the Son of God, but only the father knows. This may sound like I am off subject. But can you think of a time when you rebuked your ...read more

    This story is often referred to as the story of the prodigal son, but I would like to introduce it to you as the story of the prodigal father, that reveals to us the extravagant love of God.

    EXTRAVAGANT LOVE INTRO TO TOPIC: A certain medieval monk announced he would be preaching next Sunday evening on "The Love of God." As the shadows fell and the light ceased to come in through the cathedral windows, the congregation gathered. In the darkness of the altar, the monk lighted a candle ...read more

    Exposition of John 3 regarding the sending of God’s Son on Christmas was part of one of the greatest displays of the immeasurable love of God ever.

    How can it be? How can the Saviour be forsaken by those He came to save? How can the Father forsake His own Son?

    "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Matthew 27:46. Have you ever experienced the agony of having someone whom you trusted fail you in your hours of need? Have you been forsaken ...read more

     | 6,728 views

    Intercession for the lost does not guarantee salvation but it opens tremendous doors for those that we intercede for and the Lord is calling us to faithfully pray and follow that up with our testimony of love.

    Last week we looked at the foundational parts of having a close encounter with God. (Close Encounters with God) We saw how God wants to meet with us every day and that face to face encounter begins with our welcoming him. Then we worship him. We pour out our hearts to him. And finally we ...read more

    This sermon is a closer look at the way Jesus prayed for Himself, those who were with Him at the time and for us today. Also a look at the need to pray for ourselves, others and the lost of this world.

    Things That Make Christians Different From The World: Prayer Part II Last week’s message was about how differently Christians look at prayer from the way the world looks at prayer. We talked about the fact that there are major differences in the way we pray, who we pray to and the results of ...read more

    Communion message the second Sunday of Advent. Gifting doesn’t come from stores but from our Lord in the incarnation of the Eternal Son, Jesus Christ

    Gift-wrap has either been tossed out or neatly put away and saved for another time. Boxes may have been recycled and hopefully the toys aren’t all broken yet. CD’s have been played, DVD’s watched and those new clothes worn. Christmas is officially over. So what’s the good news? It is a mixed bag. ...read more

    The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is either fact or fiction. If it is fiction we are all lost in our sin. If it is fact then our eternal destiny pivots on whether we believe it or not.

    The Resurrection – A Wall or A Gate Please open your Bibles to Matthew 28:1-7 which Pastor Karenlee will be reading and teaching from in a few minutes. We hope many of you were able to join us for our Good Friday service. It was good to remember all that happened between the Passover Meal, which ...read more
