    A little bit of a change in direction here. Early in January we started this series on the Ten Commandments, and after the first four messages we are about to make an abrupt turn.

    God’s grace is dependent on what Christ did for us, and not on what we do. It is given without respect to merit, worh, or accomplishment.

    This morning, we begin a three-week series of messages on the topic of "grace". Over these next three Sundays, we will be focusing our attention on this one single doctrine, because a correct understanding of God’s grace is at the center of our faith. It is absolutely foundational. A clear, ...read more

    Six ways God cares for people, presented to the person investigating the Christian faith.

    (Note: This sermon was introduced with a dramatic monologue based on the life of John Newton and then a reading of Psalm 103:1-18). John Newton could’ve written those words. Every word of Psalm 103 cries out that the God of the Bible is the God who cares. Have you experienced God as the God who ...read more

    The character attributes involved in honesty are: 1. Simplicity 2. Transparency 3. Integrity

    We are dealing with a topic today which is a struggle for all of us. If we are truthful, we will admit that not lying can be a problem. There is the fib, the white lie, the half-truth, the clever deception, misleading information, stretching the truth, exaggeration. Who has not been startled to ...read more

    When attempting to reach people of other faiths, we recognize that: 1. There is some truth in all religions and there are good people who follow them. 2. God has placed a longing for himself inside every human heart. 3. Jesus is the universal Savior.

    This is a confusing time in which to live. It was not long ago that America was a place where we, for the most part, understood each other and where other people were coming from. We shared common standards of ethics, and whether or not we followed those ethics, we understood them and agreed ...read more

    Many things conspire to keep people separate, even in the church. Only God can connect us, and it is the cross that binds us. Are we living out that reality, or have we let separations disconnect us?

    When he says it, it feels both enraging and endearing. When he pronounces it, it sounds like irritation, but it also sounds like invitation. It is both attracting and detracting, both including and excluding. I am referring to those moments in the old TV show, when Felix Unger, the neat freak half ...read more

    If you were to ask most people in Canada, Nova Scotia or Bedford today what religion they are the ultimate answer that you would receive would be “Christian”.
