    No Room For Jesus

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 23, 2024
     | 1,185 views

    When Jesus was born, there was no room for them in the inn and so they had to stay in a stable. That physical reality represents a spiritual reality that also occurred. There was no room for Jesus in the lives and hearts of many people of that time and the same reality continues today.

    A. Good morning church family and good morning to all our honored guests. 1. I hope you are being uplifted by our worship this morning. 2.

    Have you ever pondered what Jesus meant by ‘the gates of hell’ shall not prevail against the church?

    In Mt. 16:18, Jesus replies to Peter saying, ‘…thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Have you ever pondered what Jesus meant by ‘the gates of hell’ shall not prevail against the church?

    Embrace a life devoted to glorifying God and sharing His joy with others.

    Go! And Live Gladly for God's Glory Introduction Today, we gather to consider a profound truth that calls us to live with eternal purpose. John Piper once said, "If you live gladly to make others glad in God, your life will be hard, your risks will be high, and your joy will be ...read more

    Brought To Life; Brought Together Spirit Filled Living: A Husband’ S Love Ephesians 5:25-27 Series

    Contributed by David Taylor on Jan 21, 2025
     | 654 views

    Today we see that God calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church (5:25-27). My big idea is pretty simple, Christ’s love for his church is the pattern for a husband’s love for his wife.

    We are continuing our series in Ephesians, Brought to Life; Brought Together. We are in chapter five, where Paul discusses marriage. So far, we have looked at God’s vision for marriage to display Christ’s relationship with his church (5:31-32). Then we saw that God calls wives to respect and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,002 views

    As believers, one of the fundamental aspects of following Christ is the call to crucify the flesh. The flesh represents our sinful nature, desires, and inclinations that oppose the will of God

    The Cost Of Discipleship

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 7, 2025
     | 771 views

    Discipleship is not just about following Christ; it comes with a cost. Jesus made it clear that those who follow Him must be ready to deny themselves, take up their cross, and prioritise His kingdom above all else.

    THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: Luke 14:25-33 Supporting Texts: Matthew 16:24-26, Philippians 3:7-8, Mark 10:28-30, 2 Timothy 3:12 INTRODUCTION: Discipleship is not just about following Christ; it comes with a cost.

    We must keep our hearts focused on eternal life and pleasing God. We cannot afford to let the things of this world make us spiritually bankrupt.

    ROBERT FROST HAS WRITTEN ONE OF THE MOST PROFOUND STATEMENTS WHICH SIMPLY SAYS, “TWO ROADS DIVERGED IN A WOOD, AND I—I TOOK THE ONE LESS TRAVELED BY, AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.” THOSE WHO FOLLOW CHRIST MUST ALSO CHOOSE A SIMILAR PATH LESS TRAVELED THAT WILL MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. ...read more

    Follow The King

    When Christ is the cornerstone of the church and its foundation is the word of God in action, the church will grow and will weather the greatest storms.

    As we spoke about the word “fear” last week, it doesn’t connote running from God because of dread but running to God, clinging to Him, loving, and serving Him. The fear or reverence of the Lord is our response to His love, His majesty, holiness, as well as His wrath. This kind of fear is not ...read more

    Who Is Jesus To You

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Jun 21, 2025
     | 515 views

    Millions around the world know of Jesus but only a fraction of those actually know him. The mission of every Church should be to know Jesus and make him known. On a personal level, who is Jesus to you?

    Todays gospel reading in Luke is the same story also found in Matthew ch.16. The Matthew account has much more detail and so I will use that so we can better understand the story.

    Solemnity Of Saints Peter And Paul, Apostles

     | 1,153 views

    Paul’s sense of being captured by Christ defined his spiritual experience. Peter understands his error when a vision enlightens him to a fundamental truth: that which has been purified by God cannot be called "profane" by anyone.

    At the narrowest part of the strait of Gibraltar, where two land masses meet (Africa and Europe, at the mouth of the Med), there are cliffs called the “Pillars of Hercules.” It was the end of the known world.

    Jesus asked this question to the disciples.

    The name of Jesus is above any other name. This name cannot be compared to any other name.
