    Hope Shines Through Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 1, 2022
     | 3,271 views

    Out of the most desperate situations God is able to do a work of hope. The Messiah is a shoot from the stump of Jesse. From a stump God will raise up a ruler and king. Not just any king but the greatest the world will ever know, the Messiah, King Jesus.

    In what way would you describe the almighty power of God? One way would be to picture a forest. A giant comes along something like “Paul Banyan” who walks through swinging a two sided axe and chops down trees with each swing. It would be like swinging a cycle in a field of wheat. The imagery is ...read more

    Is God a forethought or afterthought in our life? Are we giving Him platitudes or our whole self? Are we giving Him our all? This series takes a look at how we are serving God.

    Bacon or Eggs Part 1 Scripture: Matthew 6:33; 19:16-26; Mark 12:41-44 Two weeks ago, on August 1st, I was lying in bed when the Spirit of God began to speak to me about our relationship with Him.

     | 3,489 views

    Choose Jesus because... 1. He has God's perfect goodness (vs. 16-17). 2. He looks at us with love (vs. 17-21). 3. Following Him is worth any cost (vs. 21-22). 4. Only He can save our souls (vs. 23-26).

    Don't Let Anything Keep You Away from Jesus Christ! The Gospel of Matthew Matthew 19:16-26 Sermon by Rick Crandall (Prepared November 7, 2022) BACKGROUND: *Please open your Bibles to Matthew 19:16.

    Three Ways We Sin

    I was going door-to-door. I met a woman who said, “I have never sinned.” I knew this wasn’t true. It couldn’t be true; the Bible tells me this is not true.

    None does good, no not one. Romans 3:12, Psalm 14:3 All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 We are all like sheep; we’ve gone astray: everyone has turned to his own way. Isaiah 53:6 I’m reminded of the story of “The Rich Young Ruler,” recorded in Matthew 19:16-26, Mark ...read more

    Racial unity within the church is our calling, our mission and in many ways our message, for it is through our multi-coloured yet integrated community of love that the world...

    What is it that strikes you when you hear this passage? It was the accusation of drunkenness that first struck me, and indeed I focused on that last time I preached on this passage, noting that drunken and wild behaviour is not the sort of thing that the church is normally accused of nowadays ...read more

    The Supreme Question On October 18, 2001 the Washington Post described a new church in the state of Maryland.

    Satan wanted Jesus to bow down before him... how dare he? What possible reason would Satan even have to ask such an outrageous thing (part of a series on the book and movie trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien).

    OPEN: Several years ago, Christian Herter was running hard for reelection as Governor of Massachusetts, and one day he arrived late at a barbecue. He’d had no breakfast or lunch, and he was famished. As he moved down the serving line, he held out his plate and received one piece of chicken. The ...read more

    God Is Not A God Of Confusion

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 7, 2023
     | 2,551 views

    We must not imagine that the confusion roiling western culture is because of God. Having rejected the Lord, civilization is confused, and without hope of being set right without God's merciful intervention.

    “God is not a God of confusion but of peace.” [1] We live in a world that is increasingly confused—confused about society, confused about the role of government, confused about the sexes, confused about God. And I could undoubtedly go on about the confusion that reigns in our world. Confusion ...read more

    A wife should "submit" to their husbands? Seriously? What can that mean, and what does it teach wives about their ministry to their families?

    OPEN: A 2 year old girl had a fascination with the story of “Cinderella.” One day, when the girl came across a photo of her mother and father on their wedding day, she got all excited. “Mommy got married just like Cinderella!” “Yes honey,” the mother answered. “just like Cinderella.” Then there ...read more

    As a believer, we can fully identify with Jesus in all that he went through and this is life changing!

    The TV show “The Chosen” is one of the most eye-opening I’ve ever seen. It is a series depicting the ministry of Jesus in as realistic a way as possible. It is powerful. One of the most appealing things about it is that you really get the feel of what it would be like to live like one of the ...read more

    Many people today feel empty. Despite full calendars, full bank accounts, full wardrobes—they feel hollow inside. The world promises fulfilment, but it delivers fleeting moments and lasting emptiness.

    Go! And Live Fully in Christ - Colossians 2:9–10 (NLT) Opening Prayer Gracious Heavenly Father, We thank You for the power of Your Word and the presence of Your Spirit.

    This is a sermon about the World and the Word, being Conformed or Transformed, and having one influences or many influences.

    THE INVISIBLE WAR We are created for God, but given free will, which gives us ability to make choices and decisions. Those choices or decisions effect our lives.
