    Dealing With Temptation

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 24, 2012
     | 4,872 views

    A talk at the start of lent that considers the temptation of Christ and the temptations that come our way. God always offers a way out for us to take, but we don’t always take it.

    A native-American elder once described his own inner struggles like this: “Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time.” After being asked which dog wins he thought for a moment and replied, “The one I feed ...read more

    Who's In Charge? Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 30, 2012
     | 5,599 views

    Face it, we humans like to be in charge of ourselves and as many others as we can. Though we aren't all power mongers, this default human behavior causes major problems when we see how God's universe really operates. The lesson comes home in this portion

    We as humans have various default behaviors that we engage in. I know that we as Christians don’t like to think that we are that way, but unless energy is expended in seeking healing from these default human behaviors, we will continue to do them naturally. Paul said in Philippians 2:12 ...read more

     | 7,239 views

    As Paul wrote his last letter, he reminded Timothy of the preeminence of the Gospel in life and ministry. If he accomplished nothing else, he must abide faithful to proclaiming the Gospel.

    Faithfulness to the Gospel 2 Timothy 2: 7-13 The benefits of experience and familiarity are difficult to fully appreciate or value. Each of these aid in individual pursuits, providing confidence, while enhancing particular abilities. We have all heard the old adage – practice makes perfect. While ...read more

    What About Joseph?

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 26, 2014
     | 5,601 views

    When we talk about the Christmas story we typically focus on Jesus, Mary, the Magi or the shepherds, but what about Joseph? His words may not be in the bible but his deeds are; and they speak volumes. What can we learn from the man who raised Jesus?

    WHAT ABOUT JOSEPH? INTRODUCTION: When we talk about the Christmas story we typically focus on Jesus, Mary, the Magi or the shepherds, but what about Joseph? It’s like he’s just part of the supporting cast; one of the lesser roles in the events of Christ’s birth. In fact, there is ...read more

     | 8,467 views

    The reality is that sin hurts and darkens our way. In those times, we need God to draw near. We need God to have a face

    "God With A Face" The family had gone to the mountains for vacation. Their cottage overlooked a friendly lake. After a swim and dinner, it was bedtime. Tenderly, the mother prepared her little daughter for the night, heard her prayers, kissed her, and left the room. Immediately, Julia ...read more

    Measure Upon Measure – Separation – The Restoration Of God - Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 22, 2025
     | 168 views

    In this continuing study of the Restoration of God, we look at what sin ruined, the results of that; how the Lord identified with those results, and now what God has restored. This time our theme is SEPARATION. We look at what God restored – union and communion and fellowship.

    MEASURE UPON MEASURE – SEPARATION – THE RESTORATION OF GOD - Part 4 It is hard to split this Second Consequence of man’s sin to make two messages. It is too big for one talk but does not split into two properly. That has made the first Part bigger and the second Part smaller. Please understand ...read more

    A healthy church functions like a well-orchestrated body—each member contributing uniquely, speaking truth in love, and allowing God's Word to transform our community from within.

    Healthy Church Growing Together in Christ Introduction A healthy church isn't merely a gathering of individuals under one roof but a living organism where every member functions in harmony toward a divine purpose.

    The Wisest Investments

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 6, 2026
     | 44 views

    No one would want to come to the end of their life knowing that they had wasted their time and energy and that their live were not fruitful. Jesus confronts us to rethink our priorities and not waste our opportunities to invest in that which really matters.

    Last week, we talked about what we wrap our hopes around. This week, we turn our attention to another foundational question: What are the wisest investments we can make for the future? Not just financial—but spiritual, relational, and eternal investments. Let’s read Matthew 6:19–24 19 “Do not ...read more

     | 702 views

    When we come to the faith and are baptised, we are forever held in Jesus’ arms.

    Only a few Sundays ago, I preached on the story of Jesus picking up a little child and holding him in his arms (Mark 9:30-37) St. Mark did not name the child. But guess what? A tradition in the church says the child is none other than Ignatius, a native of Syria. This is the boy who later became ...read more
