    What is true contentment? Is it gaining security by gaining possessions? Learn the mistakes of loving things - even if you don’t have any.

    When is enough enough? Each day we Americans are bombarded with thousands of messages - many telling us that we aren’t complete until we buy the latest and greatest product. Whether its cars or houses or boats or computers - what you have is no good anymore. It has bred a society founded on the ...read more

    Grace In Christ Text: Eph. 2:1-10 Introduction 1. Illustration: Put bluntly: the American church today accepts grace in theory but denies it practice.

    Mythbusting Humility

    It's a myth that godly zeal or that Biblical knowledge produce humility. Instead only the Law can crush pride and the Holy Spirit can produce true humility.

    Have you seen “Mythbusters”? It’s a reality show on television which takes a modern myth and tries to disprove it. So far they’ve tackled over 700 myths. Let me just give you a few as an example: Talking to your plants helps them grow. Not true! Toast always falls butter ...read more

    ROMANS 9: 14-18 IS GOD UNJUST? [1 Peter 2:6-10] Has God's plan gone awry because Christ was rejected by the very people who were prepared for Him, meaning the Jews?

    To receive God’s gifts and grace we need to let go of things, attitudes and even our understanding of how things should be.

    The sermon began with the following visual “I have asked Andy Broom to help me with today’s sermon.” Like every other journey we go on throughout our journey in life we pick up many packages and things.

    The biggest enemy we have in the church is not the Bible...It is fumbling, insensitive extremists who wave judgmental fingers and presume themselves to be the conscious of God for the world.

    Between a rock and a hard place Meaning: To be forced to make a decision between two undesired options or as an another source puts it, “stuck between two opposing forces” (www.goenglish.com) Origin Gary Martin, author of Meanings and Origins provides us with the US origin of the phrase.
