     | 565 views

    God invites us to find true safety, peace, and courage by dwelling in His presence and trusting His faithful protection amid life’s storms.

    Some of us came in today with hands full and hearts heavy. Bills on the counter, headlines on the phone, questions in the dark. Life can feel like a storm that lingers—raindrops of worry, winds of weariness. And yet, over every squall, our Father holds out an umbrella that doesn’t falter: His ...read more

    Live each day in a way that reflects the gospel, showing unity, courage, and Christlike character in every aspect of ordinary life.

    Friends, grace to you. Some weeks feel like a blur of keys, calendars, and carpool lines. We know the drill: the alarm rings, the coffee brews, the inbox fills, and our souls whisper, “Lord, make this count.” In the hum of everyday life—school runs and staff meetings, grocery aisles and garage ...read more

    Amidst a troubled world, Jesus calls us to courageous endurance, promising his presence and transforming our hardships into opportunities to bear witness to him.

    Some weeks the headlines feel heavy, don’t they? Nations rattling sabers, markets jumping, storms brewing, friendships fraying. You read another alert on your phone and feel that tug of worry in your chest. Will my kids be okay? Will my job hold? Will the world ever quiet down? You’re not alone. ...read more

     | 578 views

    When Jesus called Lazarus from the tomb, he wasn't just offering him life, he was giving him freedom.

    It was so dark, and so cold. He had no idea where he was, how long he had been there or what he was supposed to be doing. The last thing he remembered was being at home in bed. He had been sick; nobody knew what to do or even what was wrong. The doctors had come and gone leaving behind potions and ...read more

    WE BELIEVE man and woman were created good and upright in the image of God. However, sin entered the world by their voluntary disobedience leading to humankind’s separation from God both physically and spiritually

    INTRODUCTION Who are we? What are we doing here? What is our purpose? One of the hardest questions to answer then counselling nowadays is what is my purpose in life? Many people look around at the world and say there has to be more than what I see and what I feel and if life is more than all of ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 362 views

    This sermon calls believers to reflect God’s heart by forgiving others—even those who have deeply wounded them—releasing bitterness, trusting God’s justice, and finding freedom through the cross where Christ first forgave us.

    Letting Go and Living Free How do you forgive someone who’s taken everything from you? The Rwandan genocide stands as one of the most devastating atrocities of the 20th century. Over the span of just 100 days in 1994, nearly one million people—primarily Tutsis and moderate Hutus—were brutally ...read more

    The Temple Of Doom

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 18, 2025
     | 543 views

    The original Temple of Doom has nothing to do with Indiana Jones, but with the biblical Hercules SAMSON, who, despite blindness, with one blow, took out more Philistines in his death than in his life!

    THE TEMPLE OF DOOM Judges 16:18-30 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Two men who lived in a small village got into a terrible dispute that they could not resolve. So they decided to talk to the town sage. The first man went to the sage’s home and told his version of what happened. When he finished, the ...read more

     | 146 views

    Idols seduce the mind and steal the heart, but Christ alone dethrones every false god and restores true worship, freedom, and identity.

    INTRODUCTION — THE ALTAR IN THE MIND If there is one truth humanity proves in every century, in every culture, in every language, it is this: We never stop worshiping. You can strip away temples, rituals, church buildings, religious vocabulary— you can call yourself modern, enlightened, ...read more

     | 410 views

    Hearing Jesus requires quieting distractions, cultivating stillness, recognizing His whisper, and aligning life around the Shepherd’s voice that restores clarity, peace, and direction.

    There is a moment in every believer’s life when you sense that something is off. You believe in God. You know the stories. You’ve prayed prayers. You’ve stood in worship. You’ve read your Bible. You’ve walked the Christian path long enough to recognize its contours. And yet — a quiet ache grows in ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 27, 2025
     | 158 views

    Before Peter passed to be with the Lord, he set out for the scattered Christians, pointers to recognise and refute false teachers who were gaining traction among Christians. He exposed these subversive agents of the devil. I am examining them, then adding cautions so we don’t follow.

    1. MESSAGE IN 2 PETER – NUMBER 1 – LEARNING FROM FALSE TEACHERS – PART 1 (2 PETER 2:13) [1]. LEARNING FROM FALSE TEACHERS - INTRODUCTION The parable of the Tares showed that after the good seed was sown by the Lord and His Apostles, very soon, Satan would launch the counter attack in his ...read more

    Some churches teach that once you obtain salvation that you can’t lose it. What do the Scriptures say.

    Once Saved Always Saved The Once Saved Always Saved is one of the most dangerous doctrines in the church. This doctrine states that when someone receives salvation, they can never lose it.
