A New Beginning Series

Contributed by David Owens on Aug 28, 2018

Even after Peter's wonderful surprises when Jesus was raised from the dead, he was still struggling to get past his failure. In John 21, we see Jesus giving Peter the opportunity to be reinstated to his role of apostle and leader.

A. I want to begin this morning with a poem by Louisa Fletcher: “I wish that there were some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again. Where all our mistakes and all our heartaches And all of our poor selfish grief Could be dropped like a shabby old coat at the door And ...read more

Fake News Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 10, 2019

If you want to do well in an era of “fake news,” first, don’t believe everything you hear. Instead, consult the Lord about everything; keep your word and confront the lie.

This last week, as I was preparing for this message, I came across some very interesting research. In His book, The Honest Truth about Dishonesty, Dan Ariely says, “Over the course of many years of teaching, I have noticed that there typically seems to be a rash of deaths among students' ...read more

A New Command

Contributed by Dr. Jeffrey Dukeman on May 13, 2019

Jesus on the last night of his life teaches his disciples to love one another. But the chief point of the text is the love of Jesus, a love that fulfills certain themes from the feast of Hanukkah (explicitly mentioned in John 10:22).

In thinking about our Gospel text this morning I was reminded of the movie 300. This 2006 movie was quite the success. Men liked the battles and I’ve been told that many women liked the abs. Whatever exactly the case, the film grossed about 450 million dollars. The movie is loosely based on the ...read more

A New Heart

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 19, 2018

Even wonder if it is possible to be holy as God is holy? Peter made this statement but did he truly believe that a fallen people could ever fulfill this command? It is possible to be holy but only for those who have been given a new heart!

New Clothes Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 15, 2016

As we live as a body, we should help each other to be well dressed, to look our best. Let’s be dressed to impress – impress the world that God is our God, that we are his people, that we are Christ’s body!

Sermon by Rev George Hemmings. Over the last three weeks, I’ve been to three weddings. They’ve all been very different, but they’ve all presented the same challenge – What am I going to wear? The first was Ellen and Jamin’s wedding. I thought I was pretty safe and ...read more

New Begginings

Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 30, 2016

This is a sermon for the new year . Hopefully it will get people to realize that as bad as we think things are we are not alone in our struggles. With God our situation can always change for the better.

( Please feel free to use the parts of the sermon that are my personal testimony if you like) (Read Genesis 1:1) In the beginning God created this big old world that we call Earth. He created this world we live on from nothingness, what it was before the beginning is all but forgotten, it is ...read more

A New Beginning

Contributed by Adam James on Jan 2, 2017

Often we set a New Year's Resolution, because there is a part of ourselves we are not happy with, or we want to live better than we have before. The world says we can't change. But with God, nothing is impossible.

Who here has ever made a new year’s resolution? How many people have actually stuck with it? I have made a new year’s resolution many times. A common one for me has been to lose weight, and get into shape. However, needless to say, I never lost weight. And I came to the realisation, ...read more

Made New

Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 5, 2017

Despite us having lived ungodly lives prior to our salvation, we can get our innocence back after getting saved. How?Because the old sinful self died with Christ and the New Creation being has never sinned! Gal. 2:20.

HUMOR: FUNNY RESOLUTIONS 1. “I have resolved not to do drugs anymore, because I get the same effect just standing up really fast.” 2. “I have resolved to live in my own little world, because at least they know me here.” 3. “I have resolved to stay married, ...read more

A New Body

Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Jan 16, 2017

This sermon is the first in a series for January 2017 called "Start Something New." Many focus on body image issues when making New Year's Resolutions. In baptism, we have "put on Christ," and God sees His perfect, sinless Son. THERE'S your new body!

It’s that time again—time to set lofty goals for yourself. Time to aim high for 2017. Time to dream that you might be one of only 8% of Americans who actually fulfill a new year’s resolution! Year after year, we do this to ourselves…no matter how many times we fall into the 92% failure category. ...read more

Waiting For The News

Salvation hope: comfort from God.

WAITING FOR THE NEWS. Isaiah 52:7-10. We live in an age when people love to hear news. Perhaps it gives us a sense of community in this rapidly shrinking ‘global village’. It is something of a cliché amongst those of the news-gathering professions that ‘bad news is good news’ - but most ...read more
