    ENGAGE In our relationships it seems like there are two kinds of people – those who look at our lives and see our weaknesses and tell us what we can’t do, and those who look at our lives and look past those weaknesses to our strengths and tell us what we can do. That is true in our ...read more

     | 2,590 views

    This is the first in the series where we look at the old adage, whenever you see a Therefore, you need to go back and see what it's there for.

    It’s one of those things that preachers say. It is kind of like, “After the but comes the truth,” or “I’m almost finished.” I’m pretty sure if you’ve been in church for any length of time that you’ve heard this particular phrase, perhaps you’ve even said it yourself from time to time, and it is ...read more

    The Jesus We Trust When The Going Gets Tough

    Contributed by Dorothy Lam on Jul 16, 2025
     | 511 views

    Peter's desire to walk on water to be with Jesus is certainly a good thing, but he is unprepared for the consequences of this big step of faith. How do we handle headwinds and the waves that will certainly come in this life of faith?

    Jesus was having a pretty demanding day. That morning, Jesus heard the tragic news that his cousin John the Baptist had been killed. King Herod had him executed in prison. It was a terrible injustice. That morning Jesus intended to get away by himself to pray. He needed to know from his Heavenly ...read more

    It's easy to make the story of the loaves and fishes just about money, but the reality is that it is a story of surrender.

    Let Go of Your Loaves It was a beautiful day. Jesus had crossed over the sea of Galilee and the crowd discovering where he was going followed on foot, covering a distance of approximately 15 kilometres and Luke tells us in chapter 9:10 that they finally caught up with him in Bethsaida.

    Be Wise About Self-Control Series

    Contributed by David Owens on May 13, 2024
     | 1,778 views

    Proverbs has a lot to say about self-control as it relates to a number of things. But one of the most important areas we need to learn to exercise control is in the area of anger. Anger will destroy us without proper self-control.

    A. I was recently reminded about an old story about Billy Martin and Mickey Mantle that I think is a good launching point for today’s sermon. 1. The story goes like this: One day Mickey Mantle took his friend and teammate, Billy Martin, with him to hunt on another friend’s ranch. 2. When they ...read more

    In this sermon we discover one of, if not the number one way the enemy operates to destroy our lives, and rob us of our crowns.

    These two following verses are the source for the title of this message today. Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Now please go with me to 1 ...read more
