    When There Is No More Wine, He Makes New Wine

    Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on May 31, 2025
     | 483 views

    If your life has lost its “wine”—whether joy, peace, favour, or purpose—Jesus is still the One who makes new wine. He doesn’t just refill what is empty; He transforms what is common into something extraordinary.

    WHEN THERE IS NO MORE WINE, HE MAKES NEW WINE By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: John 2:1-11 Supporting Texts: Isaiah 43:19, Joel 2:19, Psalm 104:15, 2 Kings 4:1-7, Revelation 21:5 INTRODUCTION: Life can sometimes reach moments of emptiness, dryness, or lack—moments when joy runs out, strength ...read more

    The church that Ann and I attend brings us joy and peace – and, sometimes amusement. Like is true with many of you, we sit in the same pew almost every Sunday. We are surrounded by wonderful, friendly people who share our faith.

    The Journey To Emmaus

    Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024

     | 950 views

    The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

    The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

    A Motivation To Give For Small Givers Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 26, 2019
     | 4,724 views

    We are called by Paul to be cheerful givers. That seems ridiculous to many! This passage, though, gives us a great starting point for making that generous attitude happen.

    IT JUST SEEMS RIDICULOUS: How can anyone be a cheerful giver? - 2 Corinthians 9:7. - Paul tells us that God loves a cheerful giver. That’s all well and good, many of you are thinking, but who exactly is joyful about giving to the offering plate? It’s hard for many to believe that there are ...read more

    Should You Fear God? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,776 views

    We think that grace means there’s nothing to fear in our behavior. And so the sanction of judgment has no place in our lives. But God is gracious and calls us back today to fear the behavior that leads to destruction.

    I heard about a young boy that went off to one of these extremely expensive universities, and the bills were coming in monthly to these parents and they were struggling to keep their head above water. One day his mother received a letter from him and he said: “Dear Mom, I’m writing to inform you ...read more

    This message expounds Phil. 2:1-5 focusing on the mindset Christians are to have toward one another. Social justice issues are addressed as well as personal relationships.

    Our text today is found in Philippians 2:1-5.

    Using Your "Talents" Series

    Jesus again repeats Himself in Matthew 25, and He tells us another parable to get us ready for the end times. He tells a different story with the same point. Will we get it this time?

    You know something is important when someone repeats it a second time. You can also know if something is important when they say the same thing again, but in a different way, so that if you didn’t get it the first time, you might get it the second time. It can be a technique that we can be quite ...read more

We’ve looked at keeping a heavenly perspective while living fully this life. We’ve sought to become a servant like Jesus. We’ve been challenged ...read more

    Set aside the stress. Come to Jesus. Then tell everybody about Him. It’s the only way to face another Monday and all the days ahead.
