    A message of practical application of the principles shown us when Jesus encountered Satan on the Mt. of Temptation. One of a series about what Jesus said and did during His ministry on earth.

    How Jesus Dealt With Temptation Matt. 4:1-11 It is always wise to define terms when a subject or topic is under consideration. Before we really consider how Jesus dealt with temptation, let us first define temptation. One of the best definitions I have seen is simply, "Temptation is the act ...read more

    Today I would like us to do two things: (1) to try and understand some of Jesus’ difficult sayings about discipleship; and (2) to share a couple of introductory reflections on discipleship.

    By Rev Bill Stewart As Chris mentioned last Sunday, today we are officially beginning a series of sermons on the theme of "discipleship". Although discipleship seems to have already been the theme for at least two weeks now. Two weeks ago we saw how Jesus called people to be disciples and then ...read more

    Jews are just as guilty as Gentiles

    Romans 2:17-29, having shown that outwardly moral people, Jew and Gentile alike-will stand condemned by God’s judgment, Paul turns his argument exclusively to the Jews, God’s covenant people.

    Reading strange stories in the Bible, in search of an answer that will lead us to find some answers in God’s dealing with human despair and suffering. We need to read those stories in the light of the cross - the story of what He has done to set things ri

    I. THE HIGH CALLING OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS. Philippians 3:14. When we are converted, we have a change of mind, a change of heart.

    The Secret Of Contentment

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 22, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,653 views

    For many people, Philippians 4:13 is their favourite message, but they never look at the verses preceding that verse of following it. This message looks at what true contentment is.

    It’s a favourite verse for many people. It’s a verse that gets claimed when we are in difficult situations. When we are trying new things. A verse for those times when we are attempting the difficult, the improbable, and the impossible. But for too many people, it is more a motivational statement ...read more

    Qualifying Sin

    Contributed by Robert Sickler on Sep 21, 2015
     | 3,134 views

    It is very simple, when we fail to obey everything Jesus taught we are sinning; when we continue to sin we are living a sinful lifestyle; when we live a sinful lifestyle we are lost and going to hell.

    QUALIFYING SIN Blinded By Ignorance People do not seem to enjoy hearing sermons about sin; perhaps that is why we seldom take the time to really preach on the definition of sin. We leave people with an unclear perspective on sin in their lives. As a result, people consider sinning to be ...read more
