A Walk Down The Street With Jesus Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jun 2, 2016

We must "walk in the light" each and every day with all the people we meet in all the situations we find ourselves in. If we do not, we make God a liar because we claim to be His (light) and yet walk in darkness.

As we leave the front doors of the church, we find ourselves on a semi-busy street. Manhattan Avenue is a semi-busy street in my book. The sun is shining. There is ...read more

We Are Loosed !

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017

This message will be a challenge for many because the church, in general, has become a place where the power of God does not exist.

Even though Jesus has purchased our complete redemption, Satan tries to make us feel as if we still belong to him. He brings us into situations that confuse us and takes our focus off of the deliverance that now belongs to us as children of God. Christians are often blind to the needs of others ...read more

Wandering From The Light Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 28, 2019

A person may be walking in the Light of Christ and then take their eyes off from Him. This always leads to the disaster of walking in the darkness if it goes unchecked and unrepented for too long. Don't take the first step in the wrong direction ...

No Parking! Keep Moving!

Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Feb 25, 2014

Where have you parked your life? Illegal parking brings with it certain penalties such as tickets, towing, charges and fines. As disciples of Christ we need to be aware of where we have a tendency to park spiritually

All drivers at some time or other experienced the lovely frustration of driving around trying to find a parking spot. Sometimes you need to park in order to transact whatever business or appointment is pending. Sometimes you just park! Our life as believers and disciples of Christ is viewed as a ...read more

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 9, 2025

True faith flows from love, not fear—transforming obedience from duty into joy, and belief into self-giving action that reveals Christ.

Introduction — A Love That Moves You A few months ago, a young man named Daniel was driving home from work late one evening when he saw smoke billowing from a house on the corner of his street.

Take Your Turn PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 6, 2025

Gratitude transforms us when we respond to Jesus’ mercy with obedience and thanksgiving, drawing us closer to God and shaping our hearts through prayer.

Some of us walked in today with weary hearts, carrying questions that don’t quiet down when the lights go out.

Building On The Rock. Abridged.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2025

To build our lives on anything less than a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ is the very height of madness.

BUILDING ON THE ROCK. Matthew 7:21, Matthew 7:24-27. Mere profession of Jesus’ deity: “Lord, Lord” (Matthew 7:21) will not fit us for entry into “the kingdom of heaven.” The person who will “enter the kingdom of heaven,” says Jesus, is the one who “does the will of my Father which in ...read more
