    The Profitable Servant Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 20, 2012
    based on 114 ratings
     | 50,256 views

    I want to be a good servant for Jesus, but in this passage Jesus says I can do all kind of great ministry and still be an "unprofitable servant." What two things does Jesus say can stop me from being the profitable servant for Chris that I want to be?

    OPEN: The KJV translates Luke 17:10 this way: “So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.’” I don’t want to be an “unprofitable servant”. I want to be a profitable servant for ...read more

    Forgive Us Our Sins - The Lord's Prayer - Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 30, 2020
     | 4,836 views

    Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us. What a dangerous prayer to pray to the One who knows our hearts better than we even know them ourselves. Did Jesus literally mean what He said?

    Forgive Us Our Sins (This sermon is a shorter sermon due to being delivered via Facebook/Live during the Covid-19 shutdown) Today Pastor Karenlee will be reading from Matthew 18:21-35. When she reads it, it will not read exactly like the NIV which we usually use. She will be reading from the ...read more

    Young people need to understand the importance of cultivating one’s spiritual beauty.

    The Truth About Beauty In the summer of 1997, I went out to Salt Lake City, Utah, for what was the hardest summer of my life. I went out to colporteur. For eight hours a day, I was going from home to home knocking on doors, trying to get Mormons to buy Christian books. Selling chocolate would ...read more

     | 1,368 views

    Three schemes are examined to see Satan’s division and hurt in the human race. The wide net of PLEASURE is first; followed by the corruption of CHRISTMAS and EASTER; followed by what FEMINISM is doing to our world. These might be hot issues but Satan has created the trouble to damn people

    WE ARE NOT IGNORANT OF SATAN’S DEVICES OR SCHEMES – PART 9 We continue researching the various schemes Satan uses to ensnare, deceive and ruin humanity. The bible says we are not ignorant of Satan’s schemes (devices). We need to recognise them in order to combat them. I have attempted to ...read more

     | 4,209 views

    the word ‘sent’ in Greek is the same root word as apostle. So apostle means ‘one who is sent out in the name of Jesus.’ That means every disciple makes a life commitment to Jesus’ mission. Every Christian has within himself or herself the potential for a

    Sent, Part 1 Matthew 10:5-8 We’re spending the next few weeks in the second recorded sermon of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew.

    It's God's Grace That Goes To Bat For Us.

    Contributed by Ronnie Miller on Jul 27, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,411 views

    As long as mankind has been around there has never been an illustration or definition of God's grace that stays in the heart until it takes root and begins to grow. 2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

    It's God's Grace that goes to bat for us. Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Heard about a man having a dream one night that he and the Lord was watching a baseball game. The Lord's ...read more

    Summer Of Sin #2 Envy Series

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,750 views

    Envy is a condition so poisonous that we’re not able to rejoice in the moment and enjoy what we have, but instead, find fault with it and say, “This isn’t good enough.” The root of it is that we don't trust God is caring for us.

    Summer of Sin #2. ENVY Num. 11:4-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Ryan Carlson, 16-year-old, was out with friends one night at 8 p.m. when suddenly he realized it was Father's Day and he had neglected to buy a card for dad. 2.

    God Restores Elijah / Preparation

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 3, 2020
     | 7,544 views

    In this first-of-two talks we look at some of the initial things that helped Elijah recover from depression. They are things we can also do. They paved the way for God to address the root cause of the problem: Elijah's sense of failure.

    INTRODUCTION We’re now onto the second talk in our series called ‘Bible Stories for Grown-Ups.’ In these talks we’re going back to some of the famous stories in the Old Testament which we may have heard as children, perhaps at home or at Sunday School. The idea is to take a fresh look at them as ...read more

    He Calls You By Name

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 157 views

    John’s resurrection account reveals a quiet but profound truth: belonging comes before understanding. This message invites weary believers to release the pressure to prove their faith and rediscover a resurrection life rooted in being known, named, and kept—while still on the road.

    Introduction John tells us that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. That detail matters. Not because it is poetic, but because it is honest. This is not the hour of confidence or clarity. This is the hour when grief wakes before reason does. The hour when the body ...read more

    The Issue Of Unforgiveness And Bitterness

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,817 views

    Bitterness is a weed whose root is unforgiveness. Whether it's from a bitter breakup, divorce, rejection, abandonment, or whatever, if we refuse to forgive in those situations, bitterness takes hold of our lives. And where there is bitterness, there can be no love and no peace.

    One of the secret sins believers can be easily guilty of is being unwilling to forgive which leads to bitterness. Even though it is often assumed to be more acceptable, unforgiveness is no less an offense to God than any other sin. It is the failure to deal with forgiveness that produces ...read more
