    Our Troublesome Tongues

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,416 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

    Christianity, in many ways, is not all that different than other religions and faith traditions. In fact, there is really only one thing about Christianity that is unique.

    I’m going to begin this morning with a familiar text: "What you do not wish for yourself, do not do to others." Sound good? That, of course is . . . a well-known saying of Confucius, a Chinese wise man who lived in the 5th and 6th century B.C. "What you do not wish for yourself, ...read more

    John 5 - Bethesda Pool. This message reveals Jesus as the Father’s mercy, ending futility, exposing empty religion, and granting forgiveness and wholeness.

    Introduction: Have you ever missed a sign? I have. One time I was rushing through the airport, ticket in hand, suitcase dragging behind me. I cleared security, found my gate, and sat down to wait. After a few minutes I started listening to the announcements — and realized everybody around me was ...read more

    Culture Clash - Psychic Network Series

     | 8,111 views

    When everything is theoretical,everyone loves to coexist, everyone celebrates diversity. Interfere with their lifestyle and you become part of the problem, not part of the solution.

    To say that there is one God hinders social harmony. To claim that there is only one way to salvation is an affront to our diversity. To allege that a belief is wrong is the ultimate bigotry. Christians are the problem - Christians not part of the solution. Paul and his companions run into ...read more

    Cleaning up, sorting out the rubbish, clearly we can run light weight, the spiritual race before us focused on Jesus. Jesus being our focus keeps the path ahead doable.

    Hebrews 12: 1-3 This was to be the final part in this series of tools of the Faith; I think there maybe another one or two of these sermons coming up yet. In any situation where tools have been used there is often a need for a clean up. A time to get rid of the rubbish, to cast off all the junk ...read more

    Legalism Exposed Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on May 6, 2024
     | 862 views

    This exposition of Romans 4:13-16 addresses the problem of trying to attain righteousness through good works. The law was given to expose our sinfulness and lead us to Christ for salvation. The deception of legalism is a problem that must be addressed.

    Intro Our text today is Romans 4:13-16: “It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is ...read more

    The Advantage Of Repentance Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 8, 2022
     | 1,913 views

    Repentance is a firm theme throughout both testaments because it is crucial and essential.

    The Advantage of Repentance (Isaiah 1:1-20) Isaiah is often considered the most important of the prophets, and his book is sometimes called the “Fifth Gospel” because it so frequently predicts the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. Being a prophet meant being both a forth-teller and a foreteller, ...read more

    there was a reason why God was angry at Job's friends and there's a reason why there will be God's wrath in the future!

    We are now at the last chapter of the Book of Job. Open your Bibles to Job 42… Let us remind ourselves of the story of Job. Job was a godly man, wealthy, and had a nice family. The devil Satan challenged God that if Job lost just about everything including his family and health, that Job would ...read more

    The Do Nots Of Christian Living

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018
     | 3,225 views

    We dear ones are called to Holiness not just good enough to get by. That’s a pretty high standard for any of us and God knows that so He gave us some help and identified behaviours and actions that we need to purge from our character.

    The Do Nots of Christian living Leviticus 19:1-2 Leviticus Chapters 15 through 18 Matthew 22:34-40 Many people see religion as a waste of time. I would be one to agree with them. However FAITH is another matter. Religion is made by man but FAITH is what God is calling us to. People ...read more

     | 9,245 views

    To be zealous for God is to be on fire for God. It is to keep the fire burning.

    Introduction “Are we zealous for the Lord?” Or better yet, let’s extend that question to three by using the three biblical meanings of the word “zeal”. a. Are we excited about the things of the Lord? b. Are we doing our best in the things of the Lord? c. Are we excited and doing our best for the ...read more

    Sermon # 43- No Room For Self-Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 21, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 467 views

    Self-righteous Jonah rejoiced over a plant that gave him shade, but had not compassion on the people of Nineveh who genuinely repented of their sins. There’s no room for self-righteousness, as all of us are sinners saved by God's grace alone.

    We read in Jonah 4:6, “Then the LORD God made a plant grow up over Jonah to give him some shade, so that he would be more comfortable. Jonah was extremely pleased with the plant.” (GNB) As we studied the life of Jonah there are numerous lessons that we have picked up, both for our personal lives, ...read more
