    You Are Commissioned To Go!

     | 10,609 views

    Jesus will answer three very important questions in this scripture regarding our commission as Christians.

    Intro • We are all sinners that do not deserve salvation yet God, in His mercy, provided a way that we can be saved. • By Jesus coming to this Earth, living a sinless life, and dying on the cross He paid the ultimate penalty for our sins and the sins of all mankind. • Three ...read more

    Defining Church And Christian Part 1

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jan 19, 2013
     | 2,124 views

    Baptism, which should be a uniting part of faith, seems to have divided us instead. This is a first step of faith and an entry point into Christ where discipleship begins.

    We are living in confused times, are we not? Our government doesn’t seem to know what a marriage is, or that an unborn baby is a real person. Where do we go to decide such things? We have a wide array of institutions and individuals claiming to be churches or Christians, but believing and ...read more

    Here’s the question. What is the deeper reason for celebrating Christmas? What is the reason for the season? Do we need it?

    Time of the year – Family, food and fun, but it is also a time to think about the deeper questions of life – but also to ask the question, “is there a purpose to it all?” • Here’s the question. What is the deeper reason for celebrating Christmas? What is the reason for the season? Do we need it? ...read more

    Go Thy Way: When Jesus Healed A Samaritan Leper Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 20, 2020
     | 8,087 views

    One of the last miracles our Lord performed was healing a group of ten lepers. Jesus healed all of them, but how many were grateful for this gift?

    Background: This isn’t the first time Jesus healed a leper but it was probably the last. When this event took place, Jesus is heading towards Jerusalem, passing through Samaria and Galilee. The events in this passage happened just days before He was crucified and had risen from the dead. ...read more

    Partiality And Favoritism Series

     | 8,904 views

    James teaches us that showing partiality or favoritism is actually a sin and spells out how we can more easily avoid falling into this temptation.

    This passage begins a new section in James. There are certain temptations and trials that are constantly confronting us. One of the strongest is that of showing partiality or favoritism, of discriminating against people. READ James 2:1. So, here we have the charge against showing partiality. ...read more

    The Marathon Of Life

    Contributed by Paddick Van Zyl on Jun 24, 2020
     | 5,674 views

    Many believers finish their race of faith and graduate to heaven. Fewer believers finish their race of faith WELL, and graduate. What is the difference? What can we do to ensure that we finish well? Life is a marathon, and thus needs stamina and endurance to finish. It is not a sprint.

    The Marathon of Life Pastor Paddick Van Zyl 23-06-2020 Sermon Outline Introduction I came across the fowling written by J. Michael Shannon on the topic of running: “According to news reports, a 100-year-old British man has become the world’s oldest marathon runner, completing a race in Canada. ...read more

    This sermon looks at the hope and promise of sowing God's Word. It deals with the failures, but also the joys that we can experience with this! It goes through Jesus' parable of the sower. A special thanks to Rev. Bob Holst for the inspiration and idea

    The Man In The Middle Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 2, 2019
     | 10,807 views

    Jesus endured much as He was crucified on Golgotha. He was beaten, humiliated, mocked, and blasphemed. He endured all of that for you and me. He took our place on the cross. I am thankful for the Man in the middle.

    The Man in the Middle Mark 15: 22-32 Today we begin the most sobering and somber section of Mark’s gospel, dealing with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ our Lord. I am well aware that this was God’s plan for our redemption. I am thankful for the cross and the willingness of our Lord to take our ...read more

    Jude gives three designations that are true of all believers. They are called, sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ.

    *(Surnamed) Somebody’s family name: the name that identifies somebody as belonging to a particular family and that he or she has in common with other members of that family; the last name. **(Matthew 10:3) “Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and ...read more

    Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
     | 7,517 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more

    Trials Expected & Conquered

    based on 7 ratings
     | 19,201 views

    The worst harm that can come to us, comes when we don't expect it. Believers should never be blindsided by trials. We are going to look at why trials should be expected, that they will not destroy believers, and the secret to conquering trials.

    God's grace alone brings us salvation. His Grace and His Second Coming motivate us to holy living. The price He paid to show His love transforms our hearts.

    11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our ...read more
