True Worship And The Triumphal Entry Series

Contributed by Nigel Heath on Mar 29, 2009

The shouts of ’Hosanna!’ at the triumphal entry were shallow in contrast to the devotion Mary showed to Jesus in anointing him at Bethany the day before.

TRUE WORSHIP AND THE TRIUMPHAL ENTRY John 12:1-19 INTRO From the beginning of this year we have swept through the Scriptures as though we were watching a drama unfold. A few weeks ago we reached the climax in the drama with the arrival of the King. We have looked at some of the teaching of Jesus ...read more

Restoring The Broken Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 30, 2007

When you let the natural nature of the human heart take over you don’t go from bad to good you go from bad to worse. Yet in the midst of a tragic story we find tremendous hope.

The events of Judges 19-21 probably represent the worst of the worst of the history of Israel. They happened, surprisingly, not long after Joshua passed away signaling, I think, the fact that shortly after conquering the Promised Land, the people fell away quickly into idolatry which then infected ...read more

The Announcement

Contributed by Joe Rowland on Apr 1, 2008

God is the potter and we are the clay. Do we need to go back to the potters house? I asked God a question about are church and the answer that He gave me is recorded in a dream in this sermon.

An Anchor Of Hope

Contributed by Carl Allen on May 7, 2008

One of the greatest dangers facing Christians is to lose sight of the basis of our hope.  When we become so burdened with the stormy blasts of life that we forget out hope, then we face the slippery slope of sluggish ness, doubt, and even worse, the possi

An Anchor of HopeHebrews 6:9-20Intro In the first part of chapter six, we saw the warning that was issued to those that had never moved pasted the stage of spiritual immaturity and the peril that would face them.  And those words from the author would cause most to look at their salvation.  I ...read more

On His way to the cross Jesus ministers to the weeping women and then ON the cross He seeks the forgiveness of those who placed Him there. A true reflection of God’s love for humanity.

Parable Of The Unmerciful Servant

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Sep 9, 2011

God is interested in our ATTITUDES

Attitudes Story: An atheist was sitting under a tree one day smugly thinking: "God, I know you don't exist - but it you did - you must really be stupid.

This is the second message in a series that takes a fresh look at Psalm twenty-three. This message examines how the Lord as our Shepherd provides for us.

The words “I shall not be in want,” “I lack nothing” or “I’ll have all that I need,” depending on your translation produce within our minds a particular picture. In fact it almost sounds as if it is providing evidence to back up the ever popular health and ...read more

The Hero's Authority Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 19, 2011

Wanting to do something and actually being able to do it are two entirely different things. Jesus may have been introduced as the ultimate action hero but without action it's just a good sound bite. In this study the hero demonstrates His authority and ab

It is one thing to claim you can do something and it’s quite another to actually accomplish it. When I was four years old, like a lot of kids my age, I was enamored with Mighty Mouse.
