    The Lord responds to those who cry out to him for help. We must admit God is our only source of help; without it we are sunk.

    INTRODUCTION This is the fourth message in the series “No, that’s NOT in the Bible!” We’re examining ten popular statements people think are in the Bible, but they aren’t found in scripture. There are millions of Bibles in America, yet there is an alarming level of biblical ignorance. George Barna ...read more

    FCF: These words mean something. Responding to two deaths in our congregation this week, as well as the Amish tragedy - God’s word really makes a difference!

    Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. 28 You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, ...read more

    In James 5:13-16a, the brother of our Lord teaches us how the Christian ought to respond in times of trouble, happiness, sickness, and sin.

    Scripture James is the brother of our Lord Jesus. Since Jesus was Mary’s firstborn child (Luke 2:7), James was obviously a younger brother. In fact, it is likely that James was the second-oldest of the five sons that Mary had (cf. Mark 6:3). James eventually came to believe that Jesus was in fact ...read more

    Jonah knew God’s grace, but he didn’t want God to be merciful. Jonah complains in anger, but God responds with another lesson in grace.

    Jonah 4:1 (NLT) This change of plans upset Jonah, and he became very angry. Unrighteous Anger • Jonah did not want to see the Gentiles spared – He did not want to share God’s message – The Israelites were God’s people, there was no room for anyone else • Jonah had forsaken God’s call for His ...read more

    3 of 4 on becoming Mighty Men of God. This message focuses on the call to service. It involves asking the men and women to respond to a survey taken during the message.

    Mighty Men of God We as men of God have been called to serve But our greatest fear is… failure. Our greatest desire is for significance. How we get that is different for men and women. For men it comes down to a very simple question. “Do you respect, admire and believe in me?” When I was a ...read more

    Carol Service sermon asking whether we regard the Christmas story as merely a story, or are there facts which should make us sit up and respond?

    Christmas is a wasteful time ! Not a waste of time, but a wasteful time. In 1998 the UK threw away 2.5 billion cards, worth £350 million in the shops. If you stuck these cards end to end they would have stretched 236,000 miles - that’s nine times round the globe! We used a massive 85,000 miles ...read more

    The lost responded and those of His people that recognized His favor led them into the Kingdom. The rest sit on the side lines to watch the show or criticize it.

    The Coming Harvest The Great Commission and the harvest scriptures are some of the greatest examples of our goal as the Body of Christ to reach the World for God. Christians almost always try to reach the lost thinking like a Christian or from a Christian perspective ...read more

    1. God’s first response is He speaks His warning 2. God’s second response is He shows His witness 3. God’s third response is He sends His weapon 4. God’s fourth response is He separates His wheat Anybody who has been married for more than five minutes knows that there are some things you can ...read more

    A short but challenging homily. The disciples were sent to go and get a donkey for Jesus. How do we respond when Jesus asks things of us?

    I have some Christian friends who were convinced about 2 years ago that God was asking them to buy their local pub and to continue to run it as a pub with food and alcohol being served. (At this point those of you who are anti alcohol – for whatever reason - may already be feeling sceptical, but ...read more

    God has never spent one moment thinking He is me. Meekness is understanding who I am, who God is, and responding accordingly.

    “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” Jesus’ first statements were shocking to the audience that sat before Him on this Galilean hillside.. He challenged them with things totally foreign to their way of thinking. No doubt, they expected to be commended for ...read more
