    This sermon explores choosing the narrow path of righteousness and understanding the consequences of choosing the broad path leading to destruction, as guided by Matthew 7:13-14.

    Good morning, dear church family. It's a beautiful day to gather together, isn't it? Each Sunday, as we come together in this sacred space, we are reminded of God's love and His divine plan for us. We're reminded that we're not alone on this road of life, but rather, we have a faithful guide and a ...read more

    The Sermon on the Mount describes the Christian’s character and way of life. In the concluding verses Jesus gives tests to see if we are really in the Kingdom; on the ’narrow way’

    It’s about six months ago now, since we had a holiday in a caravan in Burnham Market. A lot of you may know Burnham Market, because it’s a place where a lot of people from Newark go for their holidays. Now, we’d never been to this particular caravan site before, so we asked for directions there, ...read more

    For deacon ordination: God has provided the wide door through which all may come, but also the narrow gate that calls for discipline and setting boundaries.

    We seem to be fast coming to the place where we will scarcely have to deal with people at all. We can just deal with computer-driven machines to get what we want. I frankly cannot remember when I have dealt with a bank teller. I just roll up to an Automatic Teller Machine, punch in a few numbers, ...read more

    The golden rule is another way of saying the second of the great commandments, love for neighbor and gives a good motive for it.

    The golden rule is another way of saying the second of the great commandments, love for neighbor and gives a good motive for it. “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you.

    Part 10 - Matthew 12:24-30 - God, You Are So Narrow Minded And Inflexible! Series

    No wonder people see Christians as uncaring when they hear these words used like a sledge hammer against any OTHER RELIGION or against anyone who does not believe in Christ. It implies that God is UNLOVING and rigidly bent on sending people to hell.

    Part 10 - Matthew 12:24-30 - GOD, YOU ARE SO NARROW MINDED AND INFLEXIBLE! There's a fictional story of the soldier in the American civil war who did not want to fight with anyone. In an attempt to remain NEUTRAL, he dressed in Union pants and a Confederate jacket. Unfortunately BOTH SIDES shot ...read more

    Have you come to a "Cross" road in your life? Have you decided to make a decision to take up your cross and follow Jesus? Not to decide is to decide. Which path will you choose?

    Are You Seeking, Or Striving? Series

    Jesus tells us to strive to enter the narrow gate, while many will seek to enter when it is too late. The difference between seeking and striving for the kingdom of God.

    Please turn in your Bibles to Luke 13 and follow along as I read verses 22-24: “And he went through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for ...read more

    When we we are lost or confused on our life’s journey, we can check the MAPS to find our way back to the straight and narrow path.

    “Honey, Please Follow the Map!” John 11:25-26 Ladies, do these words sound familiar? Have you ever been traveling and you’ve lost your way, and the only solution was to consult the map? Well, we are like this in our spiritual lives aren’t we? We know where we want to go, but somewhere ...read more

    In this sermon we learn why is it not arrogant or narrow-minded to say that Jesus is the only way to God. I borrowed a lot from Lee Strobel's sermon on this subject.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of two rival rabbis who came face to face in a narrow alley way. 1. The alley was so narrow that it was impossible for the two to pass by each other. 2. The one rabbi, pulling himself up to his full height, said, “I never make way for arrogant, ...read more

     | 6,752 views

    the narrow way is a much harder and more difficult to travel. It is unpaved, covered with rocks and gravel and filled with potholes. It requires commitment, determination, discipline, control, and self-denial.

    The Road Less Traveled Matthew 7:13-14 I had just flown back home from attending a class for my Doctorate in Pasadena, CA. The week was filled with long days and short nights. I had an early morning flight and then flew most of the day. By the time I got home, I was exhausted. Yet I didn’t ...read more

     | 1,189 views

    Emphasizes the importance of choosing the narrow, challenging path of true belief, bearing good fruits, and being wary of false prophets, as guided by Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters. I bet you've all heard the saying, "The road less traveled is often the most rewarding." It calls to mind a sense of challenge, doesn't it? A call to venture beyond the ordinary, to embrace the difficult for the sake of the extraordinary. This concept isn't new ...read more

    Enoch was different from all those around him. He walked with God; no compromising; no looking back; and as a result 'God took him'.

    Genesis 5:1-24 The example of Enoch, who walked with God (based on chapter 1 of ‘Heading for Heaven’ a series of sermons by J.C. Ryle, one of the outstanding evangelical preachers and writers of the 19th century.) According to Genesis chapter 5 God created man, male and female; we ...read more

    Life can be narrowed down to two outcomes, either you will live life as a reflection of God or a shadow of this world, when people see you what do they see?

    It is strange how life works out sometimes. Sometimes people, who show the greatest potential, fizzle out and nothing ever really comes of them. And other times people who never really seem to have it all together, end up beating the odds, and actually make something of themselves. For instance, ...read more
