    When God Seems Silent Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 4, 2010
    based on 16 ratings
     | 15,416 views

    I doubt there’s a person here who hasn't had a dark night experience when God didn’t seem to hear your desperate cry for help or answers. Worse than that it seemed he broke contact with you and you felt dreadfully alone.

    “When God Seems Silent” Exodus 32:1-7 (The Message) The story is told of six WWII Navy pilots who left their aircraft carrier on a mission. After searching for enemy submarines, they tried to return to their ship shortly after dark. But the captain ordered a blackout of all lights on ...read more

    Tears Of God, Hope Of Heaven Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,683 views

    The humanity of Jesus relates to your experience. The authority of Jesus provides meaning to your experience. The presence of Jesus walks with you through your experience.

    Warren Wiersbe, theologian and writer, tells a story as taken from a source. “A miserable looking woman recognized F.B. Meyer (preacher and teacher) on the train and ventured to share her burden with him. For years she had cared for a crippled daughter who brought great joy to her life. She made ...read more

    Unshackled Hands Series

     | 4,184 views

    I could quite easily justify not even stopping...But I was reminded that unshackled hands are not concerned about how or why – only that there is a need and I should do something about it.

    A well dressed woman was on an African Safari that stopped in a leper hospital. The air was humid and sticky. Flies buzzed in frenzy. The woman noticed a nurse bending toward a patient, attending a leper’s pus-filled sores. The woman said, “I wouldn’t do that for all the money in the world” to ...read more

    He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Mar 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,985 views

    The cry of the inner child remains the same. We desperately want someone to love us. Love me for me. Charles Spurgeon (English preacher of the 19th century) said, “God chose me before I was born; for he never would have chosen me afterwards!”

    The childish art of love – pulling the petals from a flower and reciting, “(s)he loves me, (s)he loves me not” – left love to chance. Even rigged it because if you start a certain way you end up where you want to – “(s)he love me!” Prance off feeling hopeful that love has a chance! The cry of the ...read more

    Uncontainable Presence

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 14, 2012
     | 3,916 views

    God wants his grace, truth and glory to spill out. He wants us to be the vessels that spill as we work, play and interact with people every day. It is called WORSHIP.

    “Uncontainable Presence” Scripture: John 1:14 Intro If you could snap your fingers and in a moment command whatever you want, what would you command? Abby Small, in Return of Jafar, wished of the Genie Jafar that he would have the gold of a sunken treasure ship. The outcome could have ...read more

    Heaven - Why On Earth Does It Matter?

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 15, 2012
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,494 views

    Have you ever stopped to ponder that your going to work, helping the neighbour with a ride to the doctor’s office or stopping by your church to be involved in some type of ministry, are the ‘home chores’ of life that have a grander plan?

    “Heaven – Why on Earth does it Matter?” Scripture / Text: Revelation 21:3-4 In my preteen years and well into late teens, my parents assigned work chores to my two brothers and me. From a posted house-cleaning checklist on the refrigerator, to loading the shed with firewood or ...read more

    Restoring The Broken

     | 18,714 views

    The lame beggar was over 40 years of age (Acts 4:22) and spent every day in the same place the whole of his life. He is a representation of any person living out their lives without an “other” context.

    I was browsing the internet a few days ago – news stories about the “same old, same old”. “Same old” suggests “nothing has changed” and speaks to those things that frustrate us or annoy us. We can easily slip between boredom and depression because nothing ever seems to change or improve. It could ...read more

    To Know Christ Better

     | 5,082 views

    Among the resolutions we can make, resolving to know Christ better is one of the best things we can do for ourselves

    To Know Christ Better Ephesians 1:15-19 Text: “...that you may know him better.” (v17) I have more than 200 Facebook friends which is quite moderate to some people I know who have over 600! I would like to say "I know them all”! Actually, I know some things about all of them, ...read more

    Back To The Future

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Nov 9, 2011
     | 3,650 views

    I feel absolutely convinced our four thrusts that constitute our vision are God-given, Holy Spirit-inspired ideas! I am convinced these are the pillars needed for us if KCC is to have a strong and vibrate future

    “Back to the Future” movie clip! BACK TO THE FUTURE Proverbs 29:18 That was of course the trailer to the 1985 “Back to the Future” movie featuring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson. It captures the focus for today. Summertime is, for many, a time of ...read more

    Fitting In

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 13, 2011
     | 7,453 views

    comedian Lenny Bruce gives our Christian psychology a metaphorical cattle prod shock when he said, “Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.’” I suspect it has a lot to do with fitting in.

    “Fitting In” John 17:11-19 I read the prologue to a story called Girl in the Middle. The girl is Kim Satinsky who is in eighth grade. She says, “You would think that being in a clique is fun but take my word for it: It’s not. They make me wear expensive things when I’m not really rich and tell me ...read more

    The Call

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 14, 2011
     | 6,203 views

    This sermon speaks to the question, does God call people specifically to the pastorate? This sermon was presented in the context of inviting Salvationists to consider if God is calling them to "shepherd ministry" as a Salvation Army officer.

    The Call – Not a Ten Digit Number Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 • As you consider your life-call to ministry today’s invitation is to ask if your life-call can be best lived out as an officer with The Salvation Army 1. Understanding the Call Two things at play: a. “Priesthood ...read more

    Abundant Living: A Lifetime Of Learning

     | 4,491 views

    Someone said, "Ecstatic experiences will not free us. Without knowledge of the truth, we will not be free." This talk explores the value of Bible study.

    An Invitation to Abundant Living “Lifetime of Learning” Philippians 4:8-9 Instead of studying for the last exam of their college careers, four seniors spent the night partying in the house they had rented off campus. The next morning they waited until the test would be almost finished, and then ...read more

    Deep Connection

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on May 9, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,566 views

    Obviously the way to address loneliness is social engagement and relationship-building. Likewise when we feel lonely or isolated from God we need to work on that relationship to correct the problem. The tools that are very important to help us toward abun

    “Deep Connection” John 15:7-11 This week I read an article by Medical News Today about the health effects of loneliness. Quoting the article, it states that “there is evidence that the risk of developing and dying from heart disease can depend on the strength of one's social ...read more

     | 3,192 views

    Worship is not always a holy activity.

    “Live it Up!” Romans 12:1“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, {which is} your spiritual service of worship. (NASB) There are many skewed pictures of living it up; High-society images of ...read more

    I Have Something To Tell You

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on May 15, 2011
     | 3,980 views

    Confession is an invitation to undergo Liberation Treatment! There is poor health and well-being in the church and community-at-large. The answer to holistic well-being is addressing psychological and spiritual blockages

    “I Have Something to Tell You” (Confession – Sermon 7) Scripture: James 5:13-20 (The Message) Text: James 5:16, Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living ...read more
