    We all like to think were ok. But God sees it differently and expects us to deal with our sin. There are three ways that we can deal with sin.

    GO AHEAD – ADMIT IT! 1 JOHN 1:8-10 Introduction: When a person comes to Jesus Christ and accepts Him as both Lord and Savior, the Bible declares that he is a new creature; that the old things – the life and its ways are behind and passed away; that a new life has begun in the light of God’s mercy ...read more

    While we think of the cute and cuddly baby in the manger and the promise of "peace on earth," John tells a different version of the birth of Jesus... and another true meaning of Christmas

    I decided to start today with “The Top Ten Reasons We Should Keep Christmas.” With all the hustle and bustle, I thought we needed to be reminded why Christmas is a good idea. Without Christmas… • The candied fruit market would completely collapse! • Our boring, uneventful lives would have no ...read more

    Actually, there are many who think that there isn't any such being as Satan - that he is a product of our imagination, sort of like Santa Claus, only evil.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2016) TEXT: Ezekiel 28:14-17; Isaiah 14:12-14 A. This morning I'm starting a short series of sermons about Satan & Satanism, & it is proving to be a difficult series to prepare. The reason it is ...read more

    This a sermon given to a group of mainly over 60’s, challenging us to think about Stephen. In particular the way he copied Jesus by praying for his persecutors.

    Acts 6: 7-15 At the time of Jesus there was a group of very faithful worshippers. This group of faithful worshippers were utterly dedicated to preserving the ways of God in their community. They loved their Bible (our Old Testament) and they were very vocal in their defence of the faith which had ...read more

    Trust something we give sometimes without thinking. Do we really trust God? How is our trust destroyed? Christians trust as a sign of faith.

    Trust Proverbs 3:5-7 Perhaps you have not caught on to what God has had me doing in the past few weeks. Two weeks ago we had a message on Authority where we were reminded about the authority of every Christian. We discussed teachers, the president, and police as sources of authority. We ...read more

    Most people think it’s rude to talk about other people’s giving but Jesus didn’t have any qualms about it.

    Everyone enjoys being recognized for the good they have accomplished even if they do the “No really, you don’t have to” thing. They enjoy being thanked and acknowledged for what they’ve done, maybe not publically but people want to know they have made a difference in their world. The scripture ...read more
