    “Learning to Fill the Empty Spaces” Matthew 14:13-21 What a year this has been. We are social creatures. So, it's no surprise that COVID-19 fatigue has set in for so many of us. We humans are wired to come together physically, but social distancing has just made that nearly ...read more

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Dec 5, 2011
     | 4,163 views

    This describes a conversation had by Jesus' fishermen disciples, talking about the miraculous event later, spoken with the local accent. Better heard than read.

    John 21:1-14 – Who’s the Boss? Today, we look at one of my favourite stories in the whole Bible. I can’t exactly tell you why I like it so much. Maybe it’s Jesus’ playful and whimsical nature shining through. Maybe it’s because I grew up in a fishing village, ...read more

    A sermon about laying your burdens down.

    “Burdens?” Luke 13:10-17 I have poor posture. When I see other people with good posture, I really admire their ability to sit or stand up straight, naturally—without even thinking about it. Mary Ellen has naturally good posture. My little 1 year old Owen has naturally ...read more

    All relationships are risky, prompting believers to trust God for the outcomes.

    Have you ever thought about the correlation between risk and trust? You can’t have one without the other.

    Remember Your Leaders Series

    Contributed by John Newton on Nov 16, 2022
     | 2,086 views

    It seems to me that this concluding chapter is something of a catch-all. I can imagine that the author’s hand might be aching after all this writing. So now he is packing as much as he can into his concluding words.

    Wow! We’ve been reading and making our way through Hebrews for a long time. It was way back in January that we started. Now it seems almost as though that is shrouded in the mists of history. And I want to express my gratitude to Pastor Marvin, who has steadfastly and faithfully been leading us ...read more
