Sermon 8 - Finding An Approach That Fits Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 28, 2025

The key for evangelistic success is not only employing the most effective approaches, but employing the ones that best match our own personalities and gifts.

I like the story of the man who was injured on the job and had to provide further explanation of the cause of his injuries for the insurance ...read more

Faith Transforms Who We Are Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on May 12, 2025

Faith is not about having the right answers or a spotless record—it is about seeking God, surrendering to His work in us, and walking faithfully each day. Transformation is not instant, but it is inevitable when Christ truly lives in us.

Sermon 11 - Investing Your Life In Reaching People Series

Contributed by David Owens on May 19, 2025

The mission for all disciples of Jesus includes helping others become followers of Jesus. We are to be "fishers of men" and help others learn to do the same.

A. Today’s sermon brings to a conclusion this series on outreach that I called “Mission Minded Disciples.” 1. In today’s sermon, we are going to focus on Jesus’ “famous last words,” but before we do, I thought it might be fun to think about some other not so “famous last words.” 2. Here are the Top ...read more

Do All To The Glory Of God

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 18, 2025

As Christians, we are to live in a way that glorifies God. That is the message of the last part of First Corinthians chapter ten. Verse 31 there says that “whatever you do, do all the glory of God.” But we have to be careful, we may do things that do not give glory to God.

Ephesians 5 On Marriage

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 30, 2025

The Biblical view of marriage is very different indeed to the contemporary world's view of marriage. The Bible demands a huge amount from us. But through a Christian marriage, we can model Christ's relationship to the church!

INTRODUCTION After our relationship to God, marriage is the most important relationship we get into. But society’s view of marriage has changed dramatically over the past half century or so. What I would like to do today is give you two pictures. The first picture is what I’m calling the ...read more

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 14, 2024

Thanking God for our God-fearing fathers, mothers, and grand- and great-grandparents, who, living and departed, instilled in us the faith.

When We Decide Evangelism Isn’t For Us To Do Series

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 22, 2025

This is a passage about a watchman. The analogy fits with our responsibility today to share the Good News. Unfortunately, that's a responsibility we often neglect.

OPTIONAL? Many Christians do not see evangelism as a responsibility. - Ezekiel 33:1-11; Matthew 28:16-20. - [Unpack the responsibility to share but not the “blood on our hands” part.] - Unpack the passage and the responsibility that is put on the watchman. Explain the watchman analogy in that ...read more

When Trouble Comes

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 28, 2022
