Nicodemus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 29, 2021

Nicodemus Is one of those interesting and important people we meet in the Bible. Jesus met with him and told him that he must be born again. However, He could not understand how someone could enter again into their mothers womb. He missed Jesus' point completely.

No Place Like Home

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 9, 2022

We would sooner give up everything of human worth, even earthly joy, physical health and wholeness, than lose that gift. For this is our true home: in Zion, with God, and in his house. This is always home for God’s people: to be with Him!

There’s no place like home. You realize that when you’ve been away for a while: maybe on vacation, a business trip, or in the hospital. Home is a refuge. For when we’re at home, we’re surrounded by the familiar. Home is security and comfort. There’s no place like it. But how do we know when we’ve ...read more

In The Mean Time...

Contributed by John Newton on Jan 15, 2022

God has promised us a new creation and empowers us to live it in the here and now, as it has already been purchased for us through Jesus’ death on the cross.

Years ago (in fact it was the first summer after we were married), Karen and I decided that we would spend our summer vacation visiting her relatives and my birthplace here in Nova Scotia. We didn’t have a large salary between us, and we were young and adventuresome, so we decided that it would be ...read more

When God Speaks - Hear The Full Story It Is Great

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Jan 24, 2022

As we engage with and listen to God, there are major blessings in listening to the full story God has for us. In this sermon we explore how the full story of God is not just guidelines and rules but it ultimately means Good News is part of our life.

Repent

Contributed by Rick Boyne on Feb 9, 2022

True repentance is an event that takes place in the spiritual realm and manifests itself in the physical realm. If our repentance only takes place in the physical realm without the power of the Holy Spirit, it will not bring glory to God nor will it be an efficacious endeavor.

The Good News Of The Gospel-Pt.2-"saved By What?"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Feb 16, 2021

Today, I want to explore the salvation that is ours by answering the question, “Saved by what?” As we consider the work of Christ, we need to consider not only His death but also His life. Both are needed for our redemption.

Last week’s sermon, Pt.1, “Saved from what?” was hard to listen to. It was a 100% true, but it was a difficult topic to explore. There is nothing easy or attractive about hell and the doctrine of conscious, eternal punishment. But hopefully, the desperateness of the situation, the hopelessness and ...read more

Funeral Sermon Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 25, 2021

“I am the resurrection and the life. ... everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25). Martha believed it ... and I hope and pray that when the New Jerusalem is ready and Jesus commands all who believe in Him to awaken from their sleep that you are there too, amen?

Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange. He didn’t rush off to Bethany to heal His friend. “This illness does not lead to death,” says Jesus, “rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be ...read more

Types Of Repentance

Contributed by Perry Greene on Apr 24, 2020

There may be many reasons we tell God we are sorry for our sins. Our repentance before him can be a time of Discovery; Recovery; or Covering.

1. I have wondered how we will be after the Corona Virus has run its course. We’ve probably gotten more serious about God during this time – will we go back to our old normal or live a new normal? 2. Think of a husband and wife in a car, the wife tells her husband to turn right at the next junction ...read more
