    The Spiral Stair Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 9, 2011
     | 4,067 views

    The journey of faith is like a spiral stair, the whole held up by the love of God, but the sequence of steps always the same. Commit yourself to the grace of God. Surrender more of yourself to Christ. And love the people he puts in your path as if he h

    I wish I could play the piano. Not just picking out a tune with my right hand, but really playing - composers like Bach and Beethoven and Mozart. As most of you know, my mother plays. She’ll be back here in May, and Martie’s already agreed to let her play for the service. Even ...read more

    God allows storms in our life so that we can experience the power and the presence of Christ.

    One of my favorite stories is about Chippie the parakeet. Chippie was a happy little bird, content every day to sit on his perch, swinging and singing to his little heart’s content. One day Chippie’s owner took the initiative to clean out his cage. She took off the attachment from the end of the ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 4,415 views

    Are we saved by faith or baptism? This is an extra sermon in our 3 on 3 series.

    You know how some sermons are just easy to listen to? Maybe they hit on a subject you were just wondering about, or they address a need you felt but hadn’t put a name to, or they re-affirm something you believed but didn’t have the words for. Some sermons just seem to hit us right where we are at ...read more

    Miracles happen when we understand that 1.Jesus cares about our everyday needs. 2. Jesus transforms our everyday experiences. 3. Jesus extravagantly provides for our everyday requests.

    You have seen the commercials showing someone with a mouth full of cookies, as the question was asked: “Got milk?” Well, the question in the story we have read today was: “Got wine?” And the answer was: “No!” The wine was gone. A miracle was needed to save the family, and the new couple, the ...read more

    Psalm Of The Forsaken Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Apr 3, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,670 views

    This series looked at the cross from the OT point of view. Psalm 22 is a perfect prophecy of what would happen to Jesus on the cross. His forsakeness is our assurance we will never be rejected.

    PSALM OF THE FORSAKEN Anyone who reads Psalm 22 can easily see Jesus written all over it and in it. This Psalm is often called the Psalm of Jesus or even the fifth Gospel. It is probably the most amazing of all the Psalms in that we have such a clear picture of the crucifixion of Jesus. And David ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,553 views

    Jesus is quoted saying, "I came to...divide," and in another place He said, "I came to bring peace." Which is it? What would cause division in families? Division began very quickly after He physically left us. Has this division led to war?

    August 18, 2013 Refine or Destroy A bank robber in Virginia Beach got a nasty surprise when a dye pack designed to mark stolen money exploded in his Fruit-of-the-Looms. The robber apparently stuffed the loot down the front of his pants as he was running out the door. “He was seen hopping ...read more

    If you want Jesus to fill your hungry soul, come to Him, trust in Him, and stay with Him.

    It’s not clear what Joby Pool was planning for this year’s Easter feast, but if his snack plans were any indication, it would’ve been an epic celebration. That’s because police arrested Joby Pool for stealing a trailer containing 200,000 Cadbury Crème Eggs earlier this year (2023). As you ...read more

    Songs We Sing: "must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone" Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 5, 2025
     | 493 views

    The song we will focus on is the worst hymn that has ever been produced (IN MY OPINION). Why is this hymn the worst? This hymn is the worst because it teaches incorrect theology about Jesus Christ.

    SONGS WE SING: ‘MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS ALONE?’ 1 Peter 2:21-25, Matthew 16:24-25 #BadBadHymn SING ‘MUST JESUS BEAR THE CROSS ALONE’ INTRODUCTION This morning we are continuing a sermon series called: “The Songs We Sing.” Part of worshipping God is singing.
