    Contributed by William Akehurst on Jul 7, 2025
     | 367 views

    WHO DO YOU SAY JESUS IS? THIS IS THE QUESTION THAT DEFINES ETERNITY. True discipleship begins with a right confession of who Jesus is, embraces the necessity of the cross, and responds with wholehearted surrender to follow Him; regardless of the cost.

    Twenty-Four Carat Faith

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2025
     | 229 views

    We don’t have to suffer for our faith. But we do have to live for it. And if we never grate against a sinful world, how true to Christ are we being?

    Peter is one of my favorite Bible characters. He’s the one who always opens his mouth before his brain has switched into gear and that’s a failing I have a lot of sympathy with. Remember when the disciples were alone on the boat out in the middle of the Sea of Galilee and they saw Jesus walking ...read more

    Faith That Prays Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 3, 2026
    based on 1 rating
     | 155 views

    When injustice and God’s silence confuses us, true faith does not walk away but cries out honestly, bows humbly before God’s sovereignty, trusts His wisdom even when His methods are unsettling, and continues in prayerful dependence until faith rests fully in His unchanging character.

    Why does God allow injustice to exist? We turn on the news and watch oppressors rise without restraint. They redraw moral boundaries, rewrite history, and wield power with seeming impunity. The innocent suffer. The vulnerable are crushed. Entire peoples are marginalized, displaced, or ...read more

    This sermon introduction reflects on the tragic deaths of Chadwick Boseman and Kobe Bryant, prompting introspection about life's significance and the importance of gratitude in receiving and giving God's grace.
