    At times life can be difficult and even dark, as we prepare for Christmas and Jesus’ second coming we gain hope not by relying on this world but on Jesus. This Advent sermon explores what it means to be a hope receiver and a hope deliverer.

    As we begin the start of the church year, our first Sunday of Advent encourages us to look at being hopeful. This week I read a story about a lady called Susan Duggan. Susan Duggan is a lady with hope. Not because she’s had an easy life or she has received great rewards. Listen to part of her ...read more

    This message deals with the difference between “praying” verses just “saying prayers.” Faith is first and foremost a heart issue; but it is not complete until it is express in our actions.

    Mark 11:22-24 01.03.16 Intro We have been talking about prayer. To be a real New Testament church, prayer is essential and foundational. Jesus said, “My house shall be called a house of prayer….”i This is the missing element in today’s church. People interact with people; but are they genuinely ...read more

    Are we just going through the motions of being a Christian? Maybe you are sleep walking and you need awakened out of your sleep. Wake up mighty men and women and prepare for the battles that will come your way.

    Going Through The Motions Romans 8:31-37 31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of ...read more

    God sees and values our hearts over outward appearances, choosing and loving the overlooked and ordinary to accomplish extraordinary purposes through His grace.

    Maybe you walked in today carrying the sting of being overlooked. You’ve watched others get the nod, the promotion, the platform, while you’ve kept the sheep, cleaned the messes, showed up in quiet faithfulness where no one was clapping. If that’s you, take heart. Our God loves to surprise us. He ...read more

    The Hope In You

    Contributed by Russell Brownworth on Apr 28, 2008
     | 3,794 views

    Hope is the opposite of despair; how can I "sanctify" Christ in my heart so I can defend the Gospel in this despair-filled world?

    but in your hearts sanctify Christ as Lord. Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an accounting for the hope that is in you; 1 Peter 3: 15 (NRSVA) Hope is the opposite of despair. Charles Swindoll tells the story of a missionary who was sitting by her ...read more

    Max Lucado wrote a very good book by this title which gave me the idea for this series. God loves us the way we are, yet he loves us too much to leave us that way. The heart of Jesus is a listening heart and is lead by the hand of God

    Attitude Of Gratitude

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Nov 21, 2025
     | 603 views

    Paul is urging believers to live out their new identity in Christ by cultivating hearts overflowing with thankfulness. Why? Because gratitude is a response to God’s grace. It reminds us of His faithfulness, aligns our hearts with His will, and demonstrates that we trust in His sovereign goodness.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, ...read more

    "Jesus is YHWH himself, bringing people back from spiritual exile, the returning King himself, bringing the long-awaited circumcision of the heart by the Holy Spirit."

    Last week we stood on the edge of the Promised Land, and we were given the choice, by YHWH, between life and death.
