    It’s Pouring With Rain. Put Your Umbrella Away!

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 12, 2011
     | 7,945 views

    God’s Holy Spirit is willing to fill every believer but sometimes Christians don’t know that God’s rich resources are available. Some people put their umbrellas up and therefore stay very dry whereas God wants to deluge them with his Spirit. If we’re open

    It’s pouring with rain. Put your umbrella away! In the 1920s Mr Ira Yates purchased a farm in West Texas in the United States. In many ways he was like a lot of other ranchers and farmers. He had a lot of land, and a lot of debt. He wasn’t able to make enough on his ranching operation to keep up ...read more

    The Other Cup Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 28, 2011

     | 4,427 views

    Which cup have you chosen to drink from? The love of God, poured out in Jesus Christ, is complete, unlimited and unmixed; the wrath of God is simply what’s left over when his love is refused.

    One of the things that still divides our denomination is the matter of “inclusive language.” It’s a difference that lines up pretty much the same way as all the other hot-button issues, with theological liberals on one side and theological conservatives on the other. But there ...read more

    The only walls appropriate for the household of God are load-bearing walls, to strengthen us for the work of the church.

    Almost everywhere I looked while preparing this sermon I found a reference to Robert Frost’s wonderful poem, “Mending Wall.” He begins it with the famous line, “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.” The poem then goes on to tell of two neighbors who meet at the wall between their two ...read more

    The challange of Miriam and Aaron to the authority of Moses. Sibling rivalry or something deeper? How do we see our shame and disgrace as a spiritual dis-ease or an opportunity to be washed clean through the grace of God?

    There’s some thing about people who end up famous that we somehow know or perhaps know or went to school with, people who do something amazing and all of a sudden everyone knows about them. This may be hard to believe but I have meet a few famous people, I used to live next door to a couple called ...read more

    The person who eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will also live because of me.

    True Love Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 14, 2011
     | 2,929 views

    If you think you understand what real love is, think again. 1 Corinthians 13 is not a bunch of feel goodisms, but delves deeply into the character of a mature person in Christ. Are you ready?

    We began last week looking at Paul showing the Corinthians how much they had missed the real character of God by wanting to be “spiritual” over being loving. In the first three verses Paul tells us that no matter how impressive we are with our spiritual credentials, knowledge, power, or ...read more

    Many pastors do not want to preach on HELL fearing they’ll not appear relevant. It’s pressure from the culture to not speak anything negative. Apparently we have begun to deny hell. There’s an assumption that everybody’s going to make it to heaven somehow
