    Responding To God’s Word And Action Series

    Contributed by Paul Clemente on Aug 1, 2011
     | 4,418 views

    Because God said and took action for us to experience, we are to treasure, ponder, and tell others what God has done and said, and always think highly of God and sing praises to honor Him!

    We continue our study of the Gospel of Luke. Please open your Bibles to Chapter 2 of Luke. Last week we noted that through the birth of Jesus Christ: God’s plan happens at the right time and place! God shares His plans! God will use circumstances for His divine and glorious plan! God will do the ...read more

    How many times have you been told to let go of the past but yet you find yourself thinking about those things that still causes you to feel hurt, shame, and pain.

    The weapon of choice for the Devil is to show us our mistakes and failures over and over. How many times have you been told to let go of the past but yet you find yourself thinking about those things that still causes you to feel hurt, shame, and pain. It seems like it's a recording in your mind ...read more

    When Hearts Come Together

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 12, 2014
     | 5,260 views

    We have real challenges in life that we think we can control. The truth is that we are dependent on God. When our hearts come together with his we find the sanctuary we need.

    1. When Hearts Come Together In November 2004, two North Carolina buddies, Dale Beatty and John Gallina, were wounded when their vehicle hit an anti-tank mine in Iraq. John received severe head and back injuries. Dale lost both legs below the knee. Neither man let their injuries stop them. ...read more

    What About Now? Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Nov 25, 2019
     | 2,705 views

    We can get so caught up in thinking about going to heaven that we forget to participate in the NOW. This lesson is intended to remind us that God is at work now, now just in the World to Come.

    1. I spent many years planning to “go to heaven and take many people with me.” a. As a result I have wasted a lot of time in the here and now. b. We have a “Both/And” Faith – it is BOTH about heaven AND about now. c. God is the Great “I AM” as well as the “I WAS” and the “I WILL BE”, all contained ...read more

    Jonah's Song Of Repentance Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on Sep 29, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,651 views

    We too often believe the lie that things are meant to destroy us. Whether a violent storm or big fish what we think is meant to destroy us is actually designed by God to develop us.

    Intro: Think about this as we look at chapter 2 of Jonah. What did Jonah deserve? He deserved to be a man taco for a big fish. What did he get? God’s mercy. Jonah had already received God’s grace. God did not completely destroy Jonah or the Ship in the violent storm. God as a ...read more

    God's Favor

     | 13,595 views

    You are frustrated with your faith because you don't recognize the power of the resurrected Jesus in your life. You limit yourself based on what you think you can do or accomplish.

    This Scripture teaches us about what God's Favor is all about. "God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us ...read more

    As we think about this event, it makes sense to me that there are four groups of people present at the Triumphal Entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem and each of them have a different motivation for being there and sheds light on their hearts.

    WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? JOHN 12:12-19 [Palm Sunday 2016] INTRODUCTION… cnn.com/2016/03/13/politics/thomas-dimassimo-donald-trump-protester-interview/ It is election season so there is much going on in the news about the candidates and the rallies that they hold.

    You Are A Theologian!

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 16, 2020
     | 3,911 views

    We often think of theologians as those with high-sounding degrees but in reality we are all theologians in a very general sense. Two questions arise; are we Biblical theologians and are we GOOD Biblical theologians???

    You Are A Theologian! Today we will be reading from Deuteronomy 17:14-20 Who are the theologians of this church? Before you answer that, what is a theologian and what is theology? And to answer that requires a two step process. The English word “theologian” comes from two Greek words with an ...read more

     | 2,108 views

    Money is a thorny question and many of us think we are less rich than we are. "Money dysmorphia". In Luke 12:13-21 Jesus challenges us on our attitude.

    This sermon was first preached 3rd July 2025 at St Grabriel's Acton. It builds on some of my previous sermons on the topic preached elsewhere especially "Frenchie upsets his dad"; "Baking bigger cakes - wealth creation the Wesley Way" and "Generous Wallet Happy ...read more

     | 1,393 views

    The myth we want to talk about today: “God Really Doesn’t Care”. This is a sensitive topic because most of the time when we think this way we are going through a difficult trial.

    - Myths Some Christians Believe - God Doesn’t Really Care Introduction We are in a series called Myths Some Christians Believe. The myths we have covered so far include: God Won’t Give Me More Than I Can Handle, God Just Wants Me to Be Happy, I Could Never Forgive that Person, and Follow Your ...read more

    Called To Freedom

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 5, 2023
     | 1,875 views

    So, what is this freedom Paul is speaking of? What do you do with freedom when you get it? Does freedom mean “party all the time like some might think?”

    Called to Freedom Galatians 5:13-26 Do you remember when as a child you could hardly wait until you grew up? I can remember many times when I would just think about how great it would be when I became a teenager.

    Harvest Is Bigger. God Does More.

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 1, 2022
     | 4,213 views

    At our harvest festival we usually think of food, crops. But we need to expand our concept of harvest. We also need to recognize just how much God is involved in providing for us.

    Today is our Harvest Thanksgiving service. It’s a time to thank God for the harvest. But what exactly are we thanking God for? I want to do two things today. The first thing is to encourage us to see harvest as something bigger than what the combine harvester picks up. The second thing is to ...read more
