God’s Signs For The Masses

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 15, 2015

God makes the impossible in our lives possible when we act on His word and trust Him for what only He can do. As the old hymn says, “It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for others, he’ll do for you”.

The Gospel reading which we just heard from John 6:1-21 is full of rich imagery. Although the story of the feeding of the 5,000 appears in all four Gospels, John’s version has a slightly different meaning. In fact, John includes only seven of Jesus’ miracles in his Gospel, and in each ...read more

I would like to share something really inspiring on this glorious Easter day. I am going to preach an old-fashioned 3-point sermon which is a very trinitarian model of preaching. So after great contemplation here are the 3 points. He is risen! He is risen! He is risen! (Updated April 2022)

Loving On Jesus Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 14, 2011

The old Gospel hymn says "Oh, how I love Jesus", but in John 14 Jesus implies that not everyone who says they love Him actually do. Just because I go to church regularly doesn’t mean I really love Him, so how can I know I really love Jesus like I say I do
