    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Dec 16, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,327 views

    In this New Year (2010) will we take the challenge to be humble, open to the Holy Spirit, have a repentant heart, a genuine hunger and thirst for God, pursue holiness, stay continually anointed and be of one mind and spirit within the Body of Christ.

    Introduction: Something’s happening ... This last week I began reading a book by James Rutz. James wrote this book to make the Christian church aware that God is moving all across the world. His observations are a wake-up call to the American Christian and churches in America. Listen to some of his ...read more

    Are We Satisfied With Our Daily Bread? Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 30, 2018
     | 8,152 views

    Through the Lord's Prayer we are being called to a life of daily trust - are we satisfied enough to trust all that God provides?

    Message Matthew 6:25-34 Are we satisfied? Let me start with a poem. Young Mother Quak went to the fridge to get her children some dinner. But when she got there, the fridge was bare so the children she loved just got thinner. We laugh because it is so silly. We also laugh because – really – ...read more

    He predestined us to become image-bearer of Jesus. He called us for His purpose. He justified us. He glorified us.

    Wow! Barely two days before Christmas! It’s a challenge to find a parking space in Westfield, or Kmart or possibly in any shops these days! Not many holidays can throw the world in such a frenzy, but Christmas surely do. Christmas is always special. In last Sunday’s message, we were reminded how ...read more

    Water, Worship, Work (Part One) Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jun 10, 2019
     | 5,743 views

    This is the 13th sermon in a series we are doing on the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at the woman at the well and how the things of this world can never bring lasting fulfillment.

    Water, Worship, Work – Part One (Gospel of John Part 13) Text: John 4:1 – 26 Just to remind everyone, before the Easter Holidays, we were going through the Gospel of John. We took a break from that, over the last two weeks and had our Palm Sunday Sermons and Resurrection Sunday Sermon. So that ...read more

     | 12,611 views

    God has a timetable of redemption for His creation - God’s Calendar - covering the Birth of Jesus, His Cross, Resurrection, Ascension, the Day of Pentecost and the Second Coming of Jesus.

    GOD’S CALENDAR I think every home will have at least one calendar telling the family of coming events, marking the next birthday or when the school term ends and the holidays begin! They’re useful things to have so we know what’s going to happen. Do you think God’s got a calendar? I think He ...read more

    Glorify The Name Of The Lord

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 12, 2024
     | 1,236 views

    It should be our goal to glorify the name of the Lord as we live on this earth and wait for His return. That is a prayer that we should pray for ourselves and for each other. So lets look more closely at this prayer.

    Alba 3-10-2023 GLORIFY THE NAME OF THE LORD II Thessalonians 1:11-12 In a book titled “Mornings With Jesus” Katie Jones wrote, "One morning I overslept. Then, while rushing around the kitchen, I spilled a glass of orange juice all over the counter. After that, I got stuck behind a slow driver ...read more

    Living Like Christ Or Like Scrooge?

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 26, 2024
     | 436 views

    Like last Sunday, today’s pericope looks at statements made by Jesus not long before His arrest and passion, as Christ focuses our attention on the “last days.”

    First Sunday of Advent 2024 One of the most obvious signs that our Western culture was at a crisis point, and sliding or crashing in the wrong direction happened about forty years ago when the Advent season, which begins this Sunday, was turned into a pre-Christmas season. As time passed, it ...read more

     | 14,280 views

    One thing is for sure. God is ready & anxious to reveal Himself to us. But the question is, "Do we want to meet Him? Are we really prepared to hear His words, & listen to what He has to say?"

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2015) TEXT: 2 Peter 1:16-18 Listen to what the Apostle Peter wrote in 2 Peter 1:16 18. "We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power & coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were ...read more

    Four reasons why Christians celebrate the Bible as Scripture

    Well with this being Labor Day weekend, this week I became interested in some of the more obscure holidays people celebrate in our culture. For instance, I found out that one community celebrates February 12 as "Darwin Day." March 22 is "National Goof Off Day." November 24 is "Buy Nothing ...read more

    We are making preparations for the coming of Christmas but are we making preparations for the coming of the Lord?

    PREPARATIONS We are entering a time of the year when the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life is ramped up, or kicked up another notch on the “Rat Race Scale”. People who were already stressed for time suddenly must find more time to do things that they don’t normally do. It’s the Holiday ...read more

     | 27,426 views

    Why did Herod want to kill the Christ child? His motivation has much in common with those today who want to kill Christmas.

    OPEN: (I sat on a stool on stage, reading the following from “How The Grinch Stole Christmas.” I taped my sermon into the pages of the book and used the book as both prop and way to hide my sermon notes). Every Who down in Who-ville liked a Christmas a lot… But the Grinch, who lived just north of ...read more
