    Over the past few weeks I have shared several messages from the book of Nehemiah. One week we looked at Nehemiah 1.

     | 145 views

    The gospel of Jesus Christ is history’s central story—faith in the past, hope for the future, and love today.

    Not on Fox. Not on the peacock channel. Not on C-SPAN or ESPN. Not a stock market report. Not a weather forecast. Not stale news. Not fake news. Not bad news. Good news. The gospel is not a broadcast that fades after the commercial break. It’s not spin for ratings or another voice in the noise. ...read more

    The Inherited Church Series

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.

    The church multiplies disciples only when its members are present as God's humble servants, preach the word as God's human spokesmen, and present themselves as God's holy sacrifices.

    The aloneness that has become a hallmark of our modern age presents a great opportunity for the people of God to present the message of life. As Christ calls people to rest in Him, the churches must echo that call.

    “Come to me, all who labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” [1] Robert Putnam raised a red flag for people living in ...read more

    So, a new year is a good time for us to put the past behind us, and set our eyes upon new things. We should never allow these mistakes, setbacks, failures to enslave us to the point that we are captive to the past

    A New Thing Youth Sermon

     | 1,388 views

    God is always doing new things in our lives, but we often miss them because we're too focused on the past. We need to let go of our past baggage and trust God for the future.

    Remember the Israelites? They were slaves in Egypt for over 400 years. But when God set them free, they kept looking back, wishing for their old lives. Sounds crazy, right? But we do the same thing. We get stuck on the past, even if it wasn't that great. God wants us to drop that heavy backpack of ...read more
