    Application of the message of Isaiah 11:6 in current culture.

    Isaiah 11:6 says, “the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat; and the calf and the young lion together”. Theologians typically interpret by following a specific system (ie literal or symbolic). That often leads to a lot of confusing ...read more

     | 8,248 views

    According to Calvin the Lord's Supper is a mere Memorial Meal and Jesus cannot come to us because He is in heaven at the right side of the Father, but John 6 and the words spoken at the Last Supper and Paul in 1st Corinthians 11 point that it is more than

    John 6:35-6:51 Jesus is the Bread of Life Let us pray: Dear Heavenly Father, through the power of your Holy Spirit, open our hearts and minds to the proclamation of your Word, that we might be fed and nourished in faith.

     | 5,513 views

    Yes God is a loviing God who sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross to atone for the sines of the world, but this does not, cannot, mean that everyone is saved. Universalism is a nice thought, but nor biblical. The worst sinner can become a saint,

    Luke 16: 19-31 Sermon: The reality of Hell Most preachers do not like giving sermons on hell, preferring to use terms such as “lost eternity”. Most pastors don't want to be regarded as a "fire and brimstone" preacher, yet we do no one a favour by avoiding this unpleasant subject. ...read more

    #9 in series. This lists the qualities not becoming of believers in Jesus.

    Colossians 3:5-11 – What Not to Wear Today we pick up once again where we left off in Colossians 3. Today’s passage might be what some consider “Da Rulz”, a list of things that we aren’t supposed to do. I’d like to look at today’s passage not in a heavy ...read more

    Jesus Christ commanded His church to be influential. We have a commission to impact people, principles and culture for Christ and His kingdom. How do we do this. We respond to His call to follow Him and be salt and light.

    Intro: The philosophies or ways of thinking of the world lead to a devaluing. The worldly philosophies of the 19th century led to the idea of a golden era with no more war or rumors of war. There were many that believed that a utopia would result from the right thinking of man. They really ...read more

    So many people when they think of judgment they believe that it is a negative thing, but it is all about the outcome. If you are being judged or assessed on your performance and then rewarded for your effort it is a good thing, when you know you did your very best.

    A sermon about reaching out to our community.

    “The Fox and the Hen” Luke 13:31-35 What just happened? Were the Pharisees—that is the religious leaders--really concerned about Jesus? They warned Jesus that Herod wanted to kill Him.

    There are many rocks on the earth. Some are solid, some are collections of dust. Some are strong and some are very weak. Many men are not trust worthy but Christ alone to be trusted for your life values.

    Breaking The Silence (Advent 2 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 8, 2023
     | 1,546 views

    All four of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John speak of the ministry of the John the Baptizer who is the messenger who prepares the way for Jesus. A second reason that John’s arrival is such a big deal is because there had not been any prophets for 400 years.

    BREAKING THE SILENCE Text: Mark 1:1 - 8 Mark 1:1-11 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (2) As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; (3) the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ...read more

    The peace that Isaiah speaks of, the peace Jesus brings us, comes only when both the wolf and the lamb come at his call and obey his commands.

    Everybody wants peace. Well, almost everyone. We all know people who are never happier then when they’re in the middle of a crisis, and of course there are terrorists and other people who try to get what they want by violence. But even those would probably say that they too want peace. It’s just ...read more

    I expect most of you know that fear of commitment is endemic in today’s society. It's not surprising.
