Contributed by Jim Drake on Mar 24, 2008

In this message titled “Urgent News” from our 2008 Easter Morning service, we look at the resurrection from the perspective of the ladies who arrived at the tomb early on that first Easter morning. How did they feel? What did they see? More importantly

How many of you took a look at the newspaper this morning? If you can stomach it, I think it’s a good idea to keep up with what’s going on in the world. But here’s the thing about news. Whether you get your news from the paper or the TV, news comes in all different shapes and sizes. There’s ...read more

What Is Truth? (Jesus Is Messiah) Series

Contributed by Spencer Homan on Dec 7, 2007

This is a sermon focusing on who Jesus really is... it points to Christmas and casts a shadow of the Cross over the nativity.

John 18:33-37 Pilate entered the praetorium again and called Jesus, and said to him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered, “Do you say this of your own accord, or do others say it to you about me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew?

Blush - Pt. 2 - Sea Sick Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Feb 16, 2013

Cheeks bright red. Eyes averted. Head ducked in shame. There are some questions that should still embarrass us. However, red cheeks may just lead to changed hearts!

Blush Pt. 2 - Sea Sick Cheek coloring moments. We all hate them. That instance in which you would like to crawl in a hole. You thought no one noticed and you discover that everyone saw you fall, fail, make a fool of yourself. You find yourself with a blush. Society likes to portray and paint ...read more

Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013

This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more

Roi

Contributed by Brian Tome on May 2, 2013

How we think and act with money is a direct reflection of how we think about and act with Jesus.

Today I'm not telling you to give. The number one conversation that is happening right now in our city and country has to do with money. We wouldn't be helpful to you if we weren't talking about money because all of us are having a money conversation all day long and that conversation is often ill ...read more

"Do You Wanna Get Well?

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 28, 2018

In this message we look at a question that on the surface is quite odd. I mean if you had been lame for 38 years and someone asked you if you wanted to be well, would that be a difficult question? Perhaps it is harder than we first realize.

“Do you want to be well? John 5:1-17 In our recent study in Nehemiah I showed you this picture of what the wall looked like that Nehemiah and the builders constructed around Jerusalem. This picture shows 10 gates that were used to gain entrance to the city. Each gate had a specific ...read more

Making sure our actual fasting is backed up by the things that need to lie behind it

...... You have a colleague at work. You are always very friendly towards him. You greet him with a smile. You ask after his family. You ask what he did over the weekend. You make him a cup of tea. But behind his back, you take the credit for all his work so that you end up getting a promotion ...read more

Dealing With Blind Spots

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 14, 2017

In this message we look at the first instance of a man who was healed by Jesus and then thrown out of the synagogue. The pharisees were alive and well and still are.

“Dealing with blind Spots” John 9 Yes it’s a lengthy passage but to know the whole story we must read the whole story. So last week we looked at Jesus changing the water to wine. That was the first sign Jesus performed. This is the sixth. Remember that a sign is a miracle that always points to a ...read more

Where Do You Look At? Walking On The Water

Contributed by Sharoon Bhatti on Apr 3, 2017

Jesus and peter walking on the water is a reminder to Believers that with Christ Supernatural is natural. Where Jesus is Impossible becomes possible. Rather we can say that with Jesus impossible becomes I M Possible. Hallelujah let’s praise the lord.

Today the topic of my sermon is where do you look at? Where do you look at when troubles come in your life? Where do you look at when the situation seems to be against you?

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 17, 2017

Easter - The Day Death Died

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 21, 2019

This Easter Sermon looks at Easter, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and how Easter or the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the day the death died.

Easter - The Day Death Died In quoting the prophecy of the prophet Hosea in Chapter 13, verse 14, the Apostle Paul makes this declaration. “‘O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?’ The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who ...read more
