    Unity in His church is important to God... but do you know why? (Preached at a Unity Service with English, Spanish and Burmese speaking worshipers)

    (I went over to the thermostat on the wall that we have on stage) Over here on the wall we have a box. I look closely here and I see a number. It says “70”. What does that mean? That’s right – it means that that’s the temperature here on stage. Now is that ...read more

    Hearing Problems

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 19, 2023
     | 1,077 views

    Are we afraid to ask what Jesus has in store for us, of what our future following him might look like?

    This was a very difficult sermon to prepare because this passage doesn’t really apply to you, at least not the way most preachers spin it. I can just hear the disciples arguing over who’s the greatest, can’t you? like a bunch of little boys bragging in the playground at recess, or kids ...read more

    The Shepherd Heart Of Paul Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 19, 2023
     | 1,825 views

    Paul refutes the falsehoods and expresses his concern for the church. We learn from his example to (1) stand firm in the truth, (2) love the people of God, and (3) right what is wrong.

    2 Cor 12:11-21 The Shepherd Heart of Paul Paul Making His Closing Remarks in His Defence 11I have been a fool! You forced me to it, for I ought to have been commended by you. For I was not at all inferior to these super-apostles, even though I am nothing. 12The signs of a true apostle were ...read more

    As a church, we are in the process of transitioning from traditional Sunday School classes to home-based community groups. In this process, we are going to take a few weeks to consider what it means for us to be a biblical community. We begin with the consideration that we are united.

    Introduction Series on biblical community in preparation for the launching of community groups next month we will look at a variety of passages, but most of our time together will be in the book of Ephesians Background Diversity There were cultural, ethnic, and religious divisions in the city - ...read more

    At this very moment there is a wailing in the spirit like a woman in travail. All of creation seems to be travailing and moaning like a woman on the verge of giving birth… Can you hear it.

    For some time now I’ve been hearing a sound in my spirit. there is a sound that is being heard in the heavenlies and its reverberating across the entire globe. It’s a sound that seems to be emanating from the very foundations of the earth…. The earth itself seems to be crying out with guttural ...read more

    PREPARING FOR ETERNITY Please open your Bibles to Matthew 6:19, as we continue our series on the eternal rewards of heaven, with today’s message, “Preparing for Eternity.” Of all the things for which you prepare, there is nothing greater than preparing for eternity.

    Authentic Servants Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 3, 2023
     | 2,033 views

    Paul took us on a look at the message of the Gospel, its messengers, ministry and our trust in the Master of the work of the Gospel. He helped us understand the endurance we need, the character and nature of the ministry.

    2 Cor 6:3-13 Authentic Servants of God Paul has been writing in answer to his critics and in defence of his ministry. • This was necessary because false teachers had sown discord among them, challenging Paul’s authority, questioning his motive in ministry and casting doubt on his character. • Why ...read more

    Move Into The Light

    Contributed by Dennis Fox on May 14, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,512 views

    Many of us were afraid of the dark as children. Should we be afraid of the dark as adults too? Light is good. Light is knowledge. Light is the protection of our Lord.

    Move to the light It’s normal to be apprehensive when we feel vulnerable and when we can’t see clearly it contributes to that vulnerability. In other words, being afraid of the dark and yes, when I was little, I was very afraid of the dark. It didn’t help that we lived in a creaky old house ...read more

     | 3,889 views

    Never underestimate the value of your supporting role. Leadership is a lonely road at best, it is better when you know someone has got your back! Cover your leaders when they are most vulnerable.

    Sermon – Who’s Got My Back? Somebody Cover me! Text: Acts 14:19-24 “Then some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and won the crowd over. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, thinking he was dead. 20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the ...read more

    Ministering To The Lord

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jun 7, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,716 views

    How do we minister to the Lord? What does that even mean? In this message, we are going to find out together what ministering to the Lord really is and how to do that in order to remain in the presence of our God.

    Our theme verse for this message is 1 John 4:19 LEB 19 We love, because he first loved us. Where Is The Lord? We live in a time where many are far from the Lord. And many say that God doesn’t answer. Where is the manifestation of the power of God? But Jesus prayed that we would be one in them ...read more

    If your cry of “Lord, Lord,” is a cry for help, not a boast of power, his answer is, “Come unto me.”

    I could have called this sermon Identity Theft, or Forged Documents, or Illegal Entry, or any one of a number of buzz-words regarding one of today’s hot political topics, illegal immigration. Because this passage is about trying to get something you don’t deserve by pretending to be someone you’re ...read more

    Preparing For Easter: Simon Peter-Sifted Now To Strengthen Later

    Sifting wheat doesn't always mean using a hand-held sifter. The Lord Jesus Christ gave Peter a warning that Satan wanted to "sift" him, but gave him encouragement as well.

    Full disclosure: Sermon Central has a message of mine based on this text called “When Thou Art Converted”. This message is different, not just an edit or a rewrite.

    Expecting Miracles

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 8, 2023
     | 1,772 views

    We are not unsuspecting people who came to Jerusalem and walked into a miracle. We are already part of an ongoing miracle - and don’t want to miss a minute of it!

    Three times a year, every Jewish man was supposed to come to Jerusalem to give thanks. Their Thanksgiving, like ours, was in the fall. They called it the Feast of Tabernacles, or Booths, though, because people built temporary shelters out in the fields to sleep in overnight, that is if they slept ...read more
