    Paul/Timothy In Galatia To Deliver Council's Decrees Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 27, 2017
     | 6,032 views

    Paul’s return trip to southern Galatia appears to have been much less eventful than his first visit. But the only incident of any significance on which Luke comments is the addition of Timothy to the missionary team.

    January 16, 2015 By: Tom Lowe Title: Paul/Timothy in S. Galatia To Deliver Council's Decrees (16:1-5) Scripture (Acts 16:1-5; KJV) 1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, ...read more

    Looking For The Uppertaker, Not The Undertaker Series

    Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Feb 20, 2014
     | 6,973 views

    It seems in today's world, things keep getting worse and worse. It's not your imagination. One day soon, the Rapture of the church will occur, and all Christians will go home to Heaven prior to the worst period the earth has ever known. Three messages.

    Rev 4:1-2 1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne ...read more

    Burdens And Burden! Caring, Sharing And Bearing!

    Contributed by Victor Ramlall on Mar 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,565 views

    There are instances when we are called on to bear the burdens of our brethren making it bearable for them, and then there is that time when we must bear our own burden, in doing the work we are called to, by fulfilling our ministry in Christ.

    Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he ...read more

    Washing Feet And A Kingdom Of Power Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 22, 2021
     | 3,216 views

    This passage gives us the dynamic example of Jesus washing feet. How can Jesus lay aside the traditional power structures to be able to live like that? The answer is in this passage.

    PETER'S EMPHATIC "NO": Peter was deeply offended by Christ’s offer because he was still thinking of a traditional power structure. - John 13:6-10a. - The disciples were still expecting the inaugural of a traditional kingdom. - Rome was going to be overthrown, the Jewish nation was ...read more

    Why Being Good Matters Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,700 views

    We must be vigilant and fight against gratifying ourselves in opposition to the will of God.

    Today, I want to talk about “Why Being Good Matters.” And I want to express it in such a way that rebels who repent of their sins have hope. We want to examine our purpose in living against the backdrop of life itself. Not a sanitized view of life that we find in an ivory tower, stained glass ...read more

    Author Of Liberty

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Feb 7, 2025
     | 385 views

    Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

    It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more

    You Can Resist A Lion Series

     | 2,133 views

    We may imagine that we could never resist a lion. But lions will cross our path and Peter tells us to resist them.

    [N.B. Earlier in the service we had a short presentation on Rosa Parks.] Today we’re continuing our series of ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’. We’ve had four talks so far. We’ve remembered that God will be with us. That he will strengthen those who wait on him. That there’s a glory to come ...read more

    A Wedding Message

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2023
     | 1,459 views

    A message presented at the wedding of a young man who was born during a previous pastorate. The young man, now twenty-five years of age, is a vibrant follower of Christ as is his bride. I was privileged to be invited to share in this special event.

    Would [the parents of the bride], and [the parents of the groom], please stand. You have acknowledged that your children are a heritage from the Lord, and you have faithfully given of yourselves to bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Now, they have come to a time of mature ...read more

    Paul had no false hopes that he would be well received in Jerusalem.

    November 18, 2023 Paul had no false hopes that he would be well received at Jerusalem. He had encountered much resistance over the years by those leaders who thought that the work of preaching the gospel should be in keeping with their own opinions. They had argued that arbitrary measures of ...read more

    Sermon # 9- God's Unmatched Generosity Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 909 views

    All of us are recipients of God’s bountiful generosity. The question is are we giving of ourselves and all that we got for the glory of God and the extension of His Kingdom? Let’s learn to make investments that last for eternity.

    We read in 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) Sometimes when we read this verse, and compare it with our situations in life we get perplexed as to why the ...read more

    Again, the Israelites did evil in the eyes of Yahweh. They served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, and the gods of Aram, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the Ammonites and the gods of the Philistines….

    November 08, 2025 Last week we witnessed as Israel sank further and further into the spin. Through Yahweh’s power, Gideon had successfully banished the Midianite army. He declined the offer of kingship, but he made and set-up an Ephod. The people worshipped this idol and it became a snare ...read more
