    Our King Jesus’ Last Supper Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 9, 2018
     | 9,769 views

    Jesus deliberately organises the last supper so there won’t be interruptions. Jesus uses the bread and wine to point to a future relationship; He uses an argument to teach humble servant hood; and He gives encouragement so our faith may not fail.

    Message Luke 22:7-38 Our King Jesus’ Last Supper If you knew that your meal tonight was going to be your last meal, what would you do? What setting would you choose? Who would you invite? What would you eat? I suspect a lot of us would choose a really lovely setting, perhaps over-looking the ...read more

    Peter is witness to the triumphant entry into Jerusalem. Things seem to be falling into place. On that day the people were doing what it takes. Are we willing to do the same when called upon?

    Leave The Weed

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 8, 2020
     | 4,545 views

    "Weeding the garden" is something we believe is a good thing, but many times doing this can destroy the good roots around them. Jesus helps us grasp why working to remove the 'weeds' from your life is not necessarily His way of leading you.

    Right… at first glance you may quickly think I am going to try convincing you how wrong it is to smoke marijuana… or to do drugs of any kind. No… this is not that kind of ‘weed removal’ encouragement… although… wait… OK… I’ll refrain! Rather, this is an admonition to be careful about being SO ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,178 views

    We live in an image-driven culture and our churches seem to be buying into the concept in their efforts to reach people, but more than ever, what people need is for us to be genuine followers of Christ. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    *Disclaimer- You need to know your audience to do what I did. It could probably be tamed down with wearing just a pair of sunglasses.
