    We are responsible for how we administer what God entrusts to us.

    “As they heard these things, he proceeded to tell a parable, because he was near to Jerusalem, and because they supposed that the kingdom of God was to appear immediately. He said therefore, ‘A nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and then return. Calling ...read more

    Headline Los Angeles Times: Dylan Floro goes from the “forgotten man to an integral part of the Dodgers’ bullpen. Floro pitched 1.1 innings The parable of the talents is a reminder not to waste opportunities. Dylan Floro did not waste his talent nor his opportunity.

    Trust And Obey

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 5, 2026

    Faith is more than words. I can say that I believe all day long but at some point, I have to actually step out in faith. That's how I know that my faith is real but that it is strong enough to hold me up and sustain me no matter what's going on in my life.

    Basically, I grew up in upstate New York. There were some woods at the end of the street and there was a pond more or less in the middle of it. In the winter, we would skate on it and play hockey. The thing is ... as we gathered on the edge of the pond, we always had the same debate: Was the ...read more

    This is a modern-day telling of the "woman at the well" found in John chapter 4. It is delivered as a monologue from the perspective of a narrator.

    INTRODUCTION What follows is a sermon delivered completely as a story. No scripture is read, and no conversation precedes the story to set up the audience. The story is told from a narrator’s standpoint. The songs in the story can be spoken or sung, although singing would be preferable. Later ...read more

    In a safety and security conscience culture, does the narrow way of Jesus offer such a radical departure that we have missed the danger of the Kingdom?

    Series on the Mount Safety First? Matthew 7:13-14 October 28, 2007 We live in a safety first culture. When I was a kid, we didn’t wear helmets when riding our bikes except on the BMX track. I turned out ok. Today we wear seatbelts, have car seats, and heaven forbid that the kids might actually ...read more

    We get bogged down by responsbilities. The way out is first to act responsibly, second to tell others what God is doing in you, and ultimately to yield to our Savior.

    One afternoon I came by the church to pick up a few things. I parked around the back, and there discovered two of our members, plus our sexton, in major trouble. These men had purchased a heavy-duty safe for the church office, and were intent on moving it inside. The safe had been hauled here on a ...read more

    David And Saul Series

    In this story we see the unmistakable contrast between Saul's choices and David's choices.

    November 19, 2022 After David defeated Goliath, Saul did not allow David to return home – because David did not swear loyalty to him. Even so, there’s no doubt that Saul felt some gratitude toward David. After all, David was Saul’s favorite musician and he had taken care of the “Goliath ...read more

    Cantate Sunday, 1986: Music has power to involve every facet of our beings in worship, it helps build the body of Christ, and it can offer a credible witness to the world.

    It was offertory time in the morning worship, and everyone had settled down quietly – settling down, I suspect, for a little nap to get themselves ready for the big nap they would take during the sermon! And, as was customary, the organist began the slow and solemn strains of an offertory: music to ...read more

    The Greatness of John the Baptist

    Introduction What marks people out as being great? Power, wealth, Courage, humility, success. We see this morning that John was a great man. He was humble, he had great joy and he was courageous enough to give a message of justice and judgement that was certainly not palatable to his hearers ...read more

    Ripple Effect Of Our Decisions

     | 5,938 views

    Often times, we can make a decision and it will have a ripple effect. Vashti made a decision and it set in motion an incredible ripple effect.

    I have often read about Queen Vashti and have felt that she does not get mentioned as much as she should. We often read the Book of Esther and focus on many important people, good and evil, in the book but we rarely talk about Vashti. It is her one decision to reject the earthly king's request ...read more

    “I am the good shepherd; and I know my sheep, and am known by my own. As the Father knows me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep” John 10:14-15.

    Theme: Christ the good Shepherd Text: Acts 4:5-12; 1 Jn. 3:1-2; Jn. 10:11-18 We all learn by example and this is the way children easily pick up the habits of adults. A young couple returning home from work one afternoon opened their front door only to hear their nine-year-old son and seven year ...read more
