    As we reflect on Christ's words, may we remember that His correction is born out of love, His persistence is a testament to His longing for us, and the fellowship He offers is a joy beyond measure. Let us open the door of our hearts to Him today and dine with the King of kings.

    Opening the Door to Fellowship Introduction: Begin with a warm greeting to the congregation and introduce the key verses: Revelation 3:19-20 (NLT) - "I correct and discipline everyone I love.

    The wind always blows around us. The mighty storm comes sooner or later. We have no choice or control over when the storm comes, so how do we keep our focus?

    Today, we will explore the beloved narrative of Peter walking on water found in Matthew 14:22-33. This story holds valuable lessons on the importance of maintaining focus in our lives. Just as in various aspects of our daily activities, focus plays a critical role in our faith. Without focus, our ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Mrs. Lola Black, who died suddenly only five months after her husband’s death.

    In March, when we gathered in this place to say farewell to a creative, innovative man, we did not dream that five months later we would gather again to bid adieu to his cherished helpmate. Charlie and Lola are together again, in death as in life; and it’s almost beyond belief. It just does not ...read more

     | 3,164 views

    A witness resolves to speak the truth in a society opposed to the truth. We must be resolute in our message.

    We began a conversation a number of weeks ago about what gives us meaning in this life and I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live out this reality. To live out ...read more
