Give Thanks

Contributed by Jonathan Meade on Nov 20, 2023

(Pastor's note: Pastor this is a message to help set the stage of the heart for deeper worship.) Worship only happens when the gratitude inside pours out.

“Give Thanks” How do you put Christ at the center of your worship? One sure way to enjoy worship every time, be it private or the corporate experience, is to make sure that worship is actually happening. Many try to chase connection with God but miss it because they don’t know the key factor of ...read more

Ridiculous Patience: Parable Of The Vineyard - Mark 12:1-12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 18, 2024

Why does Jesus tell such a farfetched story? The answer will help you in times when you're afraid God is losing patience with you.

Mark 12:1 He then began to speak to them in parables: "A man planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a pit for the winepress and built a watchtower.

The Man Of Integrity - Mark 12:12-14 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Feb 18, 2024

Jesus' enemies were astonished at how little Jesus feared men. And Mark shows us how this is the key to many elements of godliness.

After highlighting how the authorities feared man three times, Mark now makes a point of how Jesus was the opposite. Against the dark backdrop of their sin (which results in hypocrisy, dishonesty, cowardice, and favoritism), Mark shows us Jesus in stark relief. He uses the very words of their ...read more

"Giving. Which Commandment Is That?”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Nov 7, 2024

The massage is not about the "way to heaven" but our "walk". Is the story of the widow's mite about giving? Or about the failure of the teaches of the law to care for God's people... this can not be separated from Isaiah 5

Jesus Questioned About Paying Taxes Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 25, 2023

So knowing that the U.S. government apparently is somewhat reckless in how it spends money, should we still pay our taxes faithfully? Or should we try to get around our taxes?

In the year 2022, according to the CBO, the United States government raised 4.9 trillion dollars in tax income. About half came from individual income taxes. It’s a massive amount of money that we’re talking about, but despite that, the U.S. government is currently 33.1 trillion dollars in debt, ...read more

Sermon # 6 - Image Of God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 5, 2024

Human beings are created in the image of God and the question is, ‘How are we representing the Lord as His children?’ Only those who understand their true identity in Christ will be able to reflect Him the way they should.

We read in Matthew 22:20, He asked them, “Whose is this image and inscription?” (WEB) Jesus asked many questions to people in several situations, and we are meditating on a few of them. The question that we are considering is from the above mentioned verse where Jesus asked “Whose is this image ...read more

Jesus And Politics In Mark Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on May 15, 2023

The Lord's Prayer 4 - Learning To Call God Father: Our Father Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 24, 2024

We start the Lord's Prayer in a very personal way, calling God our Father - what a privilege but it goes even deeper than that as we are taught to call God, Abba Father where Abba means daddy. All this shows us how unique the Lord's prayer is, the prayer jesus taught us to pray.

Learning to call God Father: Our Father; who is in heaven. Do you know the wonderful thing about scripture is that you can read, re-read and read again the SAME passage and each time get something different from it! Many times nothing at all but sometimes there is that flash of inspiration when ...read more
