    Detained, But Not Defeated Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 9, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 20,627 views

    With Peter in prison, the church prayed continually for his release. When God answered their prayers, they lacked faith to believe. We can overcome in Christ, but we must possess faith to believe the Lord will provide.

    Detained but not Defeated Acts 12: 1-16 Our text deals with an intense time for the early church. God was clearly at work, and the church was growing. Thousands had been saved by the grace of God and the church’s influence was spreading. Such growth created much concern for the religious ...read more

     | 8,146 views

    Everything about God directs us to surrender and praise, and only fools will fight him.

    Lord, You Are Majestic Psalms 8 Picture a young boy, alone with sheep in the desert, late at night. In the utter darkness of moonless nights, the only lights were in the heavens above. Far away from city lights, with a clean atmosphere, the sky must have been dazzling. David stood in awe and ...read more

    "two Lost Sons"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Mar 25, 2019

     | 12,966 views

    A sermon focusing on the elder son in the prodigal son parable.

    “Two Lost Sons” Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 This is probably one of the best known parables of Jesus in the Bible. I’d say it is right up there with “The Parable of the Good Samaritan.” It is usually referred to as “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the ...read more

    A Greeting Of Grace Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Aug 31, 2016
     | 7,971 views

    Although Paul was imprisoned, he sought to encourage the church at Philippi. He urged them to focus on Christ and His grace. Like Paul, we need to encourage others while keeping our focus on the Lord. He must be central to all we do.

    A Greeting of Grace Philippians 1: 1-2 Today as we begin to move through this precious epistle, verse by verse, I want to remind us of the context in which it was written. Paul is bound in a Roman prison, awaiting trial, facing accusations regarding his faith. He is no longer free to go and come ...read more

    The Strategy For Success

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 10, 2019
     | 10,956 views

    Writing his final letter, while facing execution, Paul was not defeated. He had not abandoned the faith. His final instruction was given to his son in the faith, Timothy. Paul longed for Timothy to follow his lead and remain steadfast in the faith.

    The Strategy for Success 2 Timothy 2: 1-6 Our text today comes from the last letter the Apostle Paul would write. At this moment, Paul is very near the end of life. He is confined within the Roman Mamertine prison, awaiting his execution. Paul’s final days are lived in the shadow of the ...read more

    The Faith That Shapes Us Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 14, 2025
     | 225 views

    Faith matures as we surrender to God’s shaping hands—trusting, obeying, and allowing His grace to form Christ’s likeness within us.

    Introduction — From Saved to Shaped When we first meet Jesus, faith saves us. But when we keep walking with Him, faith begins to shape us. The same grace that opens the door of salvation now wants to renovate the house. God never intended faith to be a momentary flash of belief — He designed it ...read more

     | 1,001 views

    Explores the concept of spiritual rest in God, its relevance in our lives, and our responsibility to embrace and live in this rest.

    Good morning, cherished family of God. As we gather in this sacred space, let's take a moment to pause, to breathe, to be still and know that He is God. In the hustle and bustle of life, it's so easy to lose sight of the peace and rest that our Father so generously offers us. We are often caught up ...read more

    Does Man Need God In Western Civilization: Young People Are Hungry For The Truth!

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021
     | 1,816 views

    In our day and age it seems that for the most part, mankind has slipped from any cognition of morals, values, and God forbid, a loving creator.

    Malcom Muggeridge said, " "It would be difficult for anyone looking around the world today to resist the conclusion that something has gone very badly indeed with what we continue to call “Western Civilization.” This awareness tends to be distorted and muffled – if not obliterated – by ...read more

    based on 5 ratings
     | 114,992 views

    Some of God’s commandments & statutes we find easy to follow, others are a little more difficult for us to faithfully follow. God has given us a command that is explicit in the standard He expects us to live by: "You must be holy because I am holy"

    God’s definition of Holy We continue in our preaching series on discovering your destiny. For the next few weeks, we are going to be considering how setting high standards in our lives is important as disciples of Jesus.

    Christian Vs. Secular Ideology: The Power Of The Resurrection

     | 1,472 views

    There is a war on today. It's not a war of guns or bombs, but a war of ideas. The war is about worldview. The war is about the course of human history. The war is about religion and the eviction of God from modern society.

    When I read John 14:6, I face a dilemma...with the challenge of following Jesus as Truth at a time when the concept of universal truth is in question.” (Chan, 2007)

    When I read John 14:6, I face a dilemma. I believe the truth, that is not the challenge. Dr. Mark Chan, scholar, theologian, author and professor at University of Nottingham, captures the problem for me. He wrote, “Our concern is with the challenge of following Jesus as Truth at a time when the ...read more

    Worth Dying For Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Nov 4, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,980 views

    There is no wonder that God considered us worthy dying for, when one realises how intimately He knows us! His love for you is so deep that he has numbered every hair on your head – and maybe renumbers them when some fall out!

    Today is a day that needs little help in explanation or purpose-description. The message of the sacrifice of Canadian troops and allied forces for the freedom of the world from dominating forces in World War I and the threat of Fascist and Nazi rule in World War II is not hard to understand.

    Occupy Till I Come

    based on 44 ratings
     | 137,925 views

    When you look at the modern church, you see it is busy as a whole, but are they accomplishing what God has given to them? Is the church occupying, or is it just setting on its laurels of past glories and waiting for the Lord to return? ...

    Luke 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Other translations say; Do business - till I come. In other words engage in trade with what you have been given. Take what you have and put it to work. Stay busy with what I have ...read more

    What Jesus said changed world history. Twelve disciples who answered the call, "Follow Me" changed the course of human history.

    Imagine or picture with me for a moment a scene in a park, it could be any picnic ground in Perth. It’s a sunny day and there is a family having a great time together, it is an extended family. There is two or three kids trying to catch padpoles, maybe skylarking on the monkey bars. Soon they ...read more

    What About The Younger Widows Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Mar 15, 2014
     | 4,467 views

    Having provided instruction for establishing an order of widows, Paul proscribes enrolling younger widows and justifies his position.

    “Refuse to enroll younger widows, for when their passions draw them away from Christ, they desire to marry and so incur condemnation for having abandoned their former faith. Besides that, they learn to be idlers, going about from house to house, and not only idlers, but also gossips and ...read more
