    Jesus heals to return outcast into a community and a relationship with God.

    Trading Spaces Mark 1:39-45 A couple of weeks ago we looked at how Mark describes the first Synagogue incident. The people were amazed a Jesus teaching style. It was unique and authoritative. Add to that with words only Jesus commanded the spirit the hush and leave a church member and it did. ...read more

    Many changes have occurred in the world, but the greatest change needs to take place in man’s heart.

    Text: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8). When God created the heavens and the earth change took place. God liked change, so then He created two great lights, one to rule the day and the other to rule the night. In addition to the two great lights, God ...read more

    Left Alone

    Even though God is omnipotent, God allows Himself to be hurt. In this sermon, Jeremiah speaks of the irony of substituting the inadequate for the Omnipotent.

    Sometimes, even when a pastor is as true to God’s Word as possible and has preached a number of sermons to the text that have elucidated the Truth, God’s Holy Spirit comes back to that same pastor and causes something new to be eliminated, something passed over in previous readings and study. ...read more

    This is a Memorial Day message in honor of all who sacrificed their lives that we might live.

    Text: “And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13). Tomorrow we celebrate Memorial Day. What does it mean to Americans? What does it really mean to people? To some people it is a time to get together with family and socialize and ...read more

    The sailors in Jonah refused, at first, to rid the boat of this troubling person, but later did so. They serve as a type of a person ridding oneself of sin.

    Great In Mercy

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,247 views

    God is slow to anger and great in mercy. Some believe that they are deserving of His love but when it comes down to it, we are far from deserving.

    Psalm 145:8 – 14 reads, “The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, Slow to anger and great in mercy. The Lord is good to all, And His tender mercies are over all His works. All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless you. They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, ...read more

    This sermon is about how we need to be producing for God and not just sitting back in the pews.

    DREAMERS AND PRODUCERS A few years ago I attended a science fiction writer’s convention. One of the speakers said something that has stuck with me over the years. He said that “the world is made up of two types of people: Dreamers and Producers.” Dreamers are very common in the writing ...read more

     | 2,500 views

    This is a sermon based on the woman at the well. A parched mouth is not the only thing the woman had... she had a parched soul too. We travel with her as Jesus gives us all the living water we need.

    John 4:5-26 Now Jesus had to go through Samaria. So he came to a town in Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of ground Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob’s well was there, and Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour. When a Samaritan ...read more

    So was the ’Lazarus’ we read of in Luke chapter 16 really a good man, and was his rich neighbour really a greedy, money-grabbing, tight-fisted, slave-driver? Don’t know, not...

    I had a guy at my door on Friday night who asked rather aggressively, “where do I go to get a meal around here?” I said back to him, equally aggressively, “where do you normally go for a meal?” He said, “I want a meal.” I said, “mate, it’s outside hours, I don’t know you, and I’m not giving you any ...read more

    People began to talk about who Daniel’s God was once he came out to the lion’s den.

    What must they say about your God? Daniel 6:12-27 Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king’s decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask [a petition] of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? ...read more
