Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man (each one - NKJV).

    With so much turmoil and uncertainties in this present world, we as the Body of Christ need to keep our focus. This message puts our faith where it should be.

    A Determined Faith (Micah 7:1-9) The prophet Micah describes a time of great corruption in all levels of society. Those in power were corrupt through compromising. the very foundations of morality had been destroyed. (A) Men of Authority sold justice, and that without shame. They were open to ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,382 views

    What are the implications for us as Christians when Jesus presents Himself as the True Vine? The message explores this truth as we endeavour to encourage believers to produce the fruit of righteousness.

    “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the ...read more

    The Devil Is A Boring Preacher

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 23, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,102 views

    The message of the preacher blessed by God will disturb the casual, even as it glorifies the Master. Contrary to every expectation, the message presented by the servants of the devil is boring, generating no excitement and no reaction.

    “When they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews. And Paul went in, as was his custom, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that it was necessary for the Christ to ...read more

     | 7,249 views

    This sermon brings us to the good part of how to receive acceptance from God, this righteousness from God that’s included in the gospel as Paul presents it.

    Charles R. Solomon says, “There are two kinds of people in the world – those who have been rejected and those who have been rejected more.” We all have reaped what Adam and Eve sewed – rejection of God’s will and way. Therefore, we experience rejection. Solomon goes on to teach us in his book, ...read more

    God's Emotional Matrix Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,682 views

    If we let the Bible speak for itself, we find a God Who is often different than the God many Christians present, a God with a complicated emotional matrix.

    God’s Emotional Matrix 1. The sermons over the last few weeks have really stretched us. 2. We mentioned the purpose for all creation, to glorify God. Creation does this by SHOWCASING what is special about God. 3. We cannot develop God’s special qualities, because they are already perfect. All ...read more

    Missions! This sermon was preached as we dedicated our Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes - Samaritain’s Purse Ministry. A powerful Powerpoint presentation available upon request!

    Notice 3 things about these children: a. Jesus received the children around Him. Which says that He places an importance and value on them. b. Jesus rebuked those around Him. Societies over the ages have at times put little value on children. I wonder about America at times! c. Jesus blessed the ...read more

    This is the second message of Advent, but I crafted it in conjunction with a missionary presentation we had at our church using Isaiah 52:7 - this sermon would be helpful in this setting.

    When we began the service this morning, we read from Isaiah 52 – on the screen behind me is verse 7 (let’s read it together): How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the messenger who brings good news, the good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns!
