Gifts, risk, and the return of the King
We sometimes forget that David was human and would enjoy companionship. One day he found his first true love and she was closer than he ever thought possible.
Introduction: David was a young man when Samuel anointed him to be king over Israel and only a few years older, most likely, when he went into battle against Goliath. In the days and months afterwards, God was with him and blessed him in every way. But something that was not mentioned is David’s ...read more

Authentic faith produces good things. This message is the first in a series on 1 & 2 Thessalonians. Thanks to Pastor Derrick Tuper for his thoughts that contributed to this message (see notation in text)
Paul couldn’t stand it any longer. He had to know how the church in Thessalonica was doing. After all, he had poured himself into that congregation and sacrificed deeply to teach its members the gospel. But now Satan was attacking it with persecution, doubt, and trial. Were the believers ...read more
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Denomination: Evangelical/Non-Denominational
Paul shares his inner thoughts and heartfelt desire with the Thessalonians. His testimony was blameless as he laboured for the believers at Thessalonica, but he always encountered opposition. We look at walking with God.

Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 2:1-19, Acts 16:19-24, 1 Corinthians 4:9-12
While Jesus was praying on the mountain, the disciples were in a boat trying to cross the sea. Jesus approaches the boat walking on water. They thought it was a ghost and it frightened them until Jesus spoke up.
Ninth Sunday after Pentecost Our Gospel reading this morning talks about the apostles’ struggle with fear as a raging storm tosses their boat like a cork on the churning sea. Now fear could be a good thing or it can be a bad thing. It can cripple us or it can be a lifesaver. Someone once ...read more

Scripture: Genesis 39:1-6
Denomination: Anglican
Fear God? Seriously? I thought that was "so" Old Testament. But 18 times Proverbs repeats the theme that wise people will "fear the LORD". Can fearing God actually be a good thing?
OPEN: A policeman was walking his beat. I don’t know if he was writing a ticket or watching a suspicious individual, but he was distracted enough that he barely felt the tug on his coat. He turned, and there stood a little girl. “Can I help you?” the policeman asked her. “My mommy told me that if ...read more

This sermon deals with Jesus healing the man born blind and how the healing did not lead to what the man thought it should. We can be blind and not know it in our lives despite the evidence.

Main thought: This morning we will look at the set up for a confrontation between Jesus and the rulers and authorities, as well as the Jewish concept of a Messiah who would bring deliverance from Roman oppression.
Background to passage, Matthew 21:1-11: Jesus has been moving toward Jerusalem for some time now. He has come down from Galilee on his final approach. From Jericho (their last stop), it would have been a 6-8 hr walk uphill covering 15 miles and over 3000’ of elevation. He had predicted his death ...read more
Scripture: Matthew 21:1-11, Luke 9:53, Matthew 12:14
The church is called the body of Christ. Have you ever thought about what it would be like if the members of our physical bodies behaved like the members of the spiritual body sometimes do?

Scripture: Philippians 2:1-9
Trust is Faith in ACTION!!! It is the manifestation of our faith in our thoughts and actions. It is far easier to have faith in God; there are unbelievers who have this. It is a lot harder to exercise trust in Him...
Today, we will explore the topic of trust and how it relates to our faith in God. Trust is not the same as faith; it is the active expression of our faith through our thoughts and actions. While it may be easier to have faith in God, it is much harder to exercise trust in Him. Trust requires us to ...read more

Many people have a fear of the dark. I don't like darkness. I had to come over to the church late at night. I made my daughter come with me. I was not going into a dark building alone. Today we begin a new series "Glow in the Dark." It's no secret our world is living in ...read more

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 3:6-9
True victory in life’s battles comes through prayer and relying on God’s spiritual weapons, surrendering every thought to Christ rather than fighting in our own strength.
Some battles thunder. Others whisper. Some arrive like a storm front on the horizon. Others slip in through the crack beneath the door, like worry, like weariness, like the what-ifs that wake us at 2:13 a.m. You know those skirmishes, don’t you? The ones between your ears and behind your ribs. The ...read more
