Heaven Is A Marriage Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jun 24, 2013

Marriage is about the union of two hearts, and in Heaven it is the marriage of Christ and His Church. If we do not see ourselves connected/united to Christ in a covenantal relationship, we will fail to grasp the nature of life after death.

In Revelation 21, John the Apostle sees Heaven as “a bride dressed for her husband.” The Apostle Paul in Ephesians 5 compares the union of husband and wife to that of Christ and the church. We are the Bride of Christ. It’s been said, regarding Heaven, the Bible provides the ...read more

What Do We Learn From The Trinity?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jun 3, 2012

This is my latest attempt at an all-age talk to explain something of the nature of the Trinity and what it means for us as believers. Please note, I make the point that we can't fully understand the Trinity. It is a paradox.

[Note to the reader: this is NOT an expositional sermon. It is a talk about the doctrine of the Trinity. So please don't be disappointed that I don't explain this passage verse by verse :-)] Today is traditionally known as Trinity Sunday; and it has been said that Curates and newly appointed ...read more

Hearing The Voice Of God

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 13, 2015

Friends if you die to your old nature you will hear the voice of God the Father crying out to you like a clap of thunder that lifts the hairs off the back of your neck and that shakes your bones.

Message: Hearing the voice of God Friends do you know people who are logical and methodical in their thinking? Well on this occasion Jesus is met by such a group. They are Greek.

God’s Cleaning Agent

Contributed by Craig Condon on Mar 27, 2015

We become part of God's family through baptism and the spiritual cleansing it gives us. Through the spiritual cleansing, we gain a new, child-like nature that allows us to be hopelessly dependent on Christ for salvation.

I'm going to take you on a short walk down memory lane. Some of you may have heard of a singer/songwriter from the 1970s by the name of Ray Stevens. He was famous for writing and recording comedy songs such as "Bridget the Midget", "Ahab the Arab", "The Streak" and many others. He did record a few ...read more

"A New Attitude"

Contributed by David Henderson on Dec 19, 2016

It is a fact that the God of the universe loved us so much that one day he stepped out of heaven, taking on the very nature of a servant, made in the likeness of man and started the journey toward his death on the cross.

“A New Attitude” Philippians 2:5-11 The story is told of a young girl who was playing outside on the sidewall when she noticed a long line of ants crawling across, from one side of the sidewalk to the other.

Can Loving God And Our Neighbours Be Made Easier?

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 12, 2017

We are all obsessed by receiving love, it is natural, yet God wants us to radiate love, his love; but to radiate love we need to receive it. How and why should we do this?

What’s The Greatest Rule Of All?

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 26, 2015

If we follow the two Great Commandments we will naturally obey the rest of the Commandments…and we won’t need a long list of things we can and can’t do.

Good morning boys and girls! Do you have a lot of rules that you have to obey? Where are these rules? Why do you think it’s so important to have lots of rules? Why do you think it’s important to obey them? Boys and girls, rules are very important because they keep us from hurting ...read more

True Love

Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Mar 2, 2012

True Love is not a religious experience, as some Christians want to convince us. Love is part of our Nature and we need to cultivate it in order to have a real relationship with God. Without love life has no meaning.

Where Did He Go?

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 24, 2018

One of the least studied times of Jesus' life is the period between His death and His resurrection. So, the natural question is, "Where did He go?" Let's see if we can find out.

If you would, please stand as we say together our memory Scripture for this quarter: Romans 12:4-5 “Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.” ...read more

Comfort For The Uncomfortable — A Devotional Look At Romans 8

Contributed by Andrew Senesac on Nov 12, 2025

Romans 8 is both highly theological and highly practical. In it Paul discusses the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives. I have followed Paul’s example and this outline reflects both that theological and practical nature.

Therefore… No condemnation (v.1) I. Paul looks back over all he’s said from chapter 3 till now. He’s laid out the Gospel in both its Justification (ch. 3-5) and Sanctification (ch. 6-8). He concludes with the truth of our sanctification. This truth is both legal and practical: I. Legal - ...read more

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jan 6, 2020

True contentment is not a matter of doing something to earn a degree of satisfaction but is spiritual in nature and depends on who we believe in and commit our lives to. Our longing to be satisfied is fully met by Jesus our Lord.

JESUS OUR LORD MEETS OUR DEEPEST NEEDS Of all the words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “It might have been.” Folks, there is no need whatsoever for a follower of Jesus Christ to despair over what was, what is, what will be. ...read more

Jesus Stands Alone

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 19, 2020

Jesus does not stand in a line of peers with Abraham, Buddha, Confucius, or Mohammed. Jesus Christ is utterly unique. The Transfiguration reveals Him to be outside the realm of time, of divine nature, & to be the Messiah long sought of the Jews!

JESUS STANDS ALONE Luke 9:28-36 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Magician Humor 1. A magician introduced an act in which he would disappear. He said to the audience, “On the count of three, I will disappear!” And he started counting in Spanish, “Uno… Dos…POOF!” And the magician was gone without a trace ...read more
