    Third Sermon in the series, often called Limited Atonement by Calvinists. That sounds so wrong-- how can the incredible sacrifice of Jesus be limited in any way? There is nothing limited about Jesus, but there is no other name under heaven by which we are

    This winter we are lingering on the topic of our salvation–learning about it, celebrating it. We began by talking about the human condition of sin–you can’t appreciate the cure until you know the disease. Our disease is sin, and it’s fatal. It has left us for dead. Last week ...read more

     | 4,954 views

    John begins his examination of the ministry of Jesus by looking at the Incarnation. The message seeks to explore what this means for believers.

    A Dirty Little Secret About The Church

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 29, 2015
     | 7,977 views

    Churches are too often controlled by immature Christians. Though they think themselves to be mature and godly, they are destructive and harmful. Christians need to work at maturing in Christ to ensure that He is honoured through the Body of Christ.

    “Let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if ...read more
