    Contend For The Faith

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 16, 2022
     | 2,946 views

    When you hear the word “contend,” what comes to mind? An ugly fight? A heated argument? These are negative connotations, but contending can also be a very good thing, and that’s exactly what we see in the book of Jude.

    According to verse 3, Jude’s purpose for writing this letter was to encourage these Christians to contend for the faith. But what does that mean? Why should we contend, is it really necessary? And how do we do that? ANALYSIS OF VERSE 3 Diligence (Gr. spoude)—to interest one’s self most earnestly ...read more

    Emphasize the urgency of acting now in unity and faith, especially in challenging times, rather than falling into complacency.

    Good morning, Church family. As we gather here today, let's take to heart the words of the Apostle Paul in his second letter to the Corinthians. "For he says, 'In a favorable time I listened to you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you.' Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the ...read more

    Give And Take

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,522 views

    Givers trust in God, rather than in themselves; they are focused outward. Takers have not learned to trust in God and focus on their own needs.

    Anybody remember the televangelist scandals of the 80’s? Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, Oral Roberts and his highly publicized plea for - what was it, $8 million? - to keep God from striking him dead. Remember the uproar in all the secular news media and the shame felt by so many evangelicals at being ...read more

    Made By God

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Aug 19, 2024
     | 1,077 views

    The scriptures encourage us to view our bodies the way God does as fearfully and wonderfully made, to live our lives aligned with the way God created us to live and glorify Him with our bodies.

    Have you ever thought about how, why, and to what degree we as human beings place value on things, whether the object is a person, idea, behavior, piece of art, other? There is something called the Value Theory which basically states that we place a value on something based on how “good” it is ...read more

    Let Your Conscience Be Your Guide Series

     | 31,793 views

    If you could spend your entire life listening to and obeying your God-given conscience, you could live a perfect life. But the Bible says we have ALL sinned and we fall short of the glory of God. All of us end up with a messed-up conscience.

    INTRODUCTION This is the penultimate message in this series on spurious Bible verses. Next week, we’ll consider the final adage, “To Thine Own Self Be True.” I encourage you to investigate this week and see if you can find the true source of that saying.

    Jesus is the only way to heaven and all other avenues to truth are counterfeit.

    Is Jesus Really The Only Way To Heaven? Text: Gal. 1:1-10 Introduction 1. Illustration: Since the death of Jesus Christ, 2000 years ago, 43 million Christians have become martyrs.

    THE CHANGING OF THE GUARD (ACTS 20:25-31) One of the biggest tourist attractions in England is, without doubt, a visit to Buckingham Palace, especially to see the 45 minutes “Changing of the Guard” ceremony at its appointed time, which I had the opportunity to do in my visit to England in 2006. ...read more

    Win By Losing (January 29, 2023 Version)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jan 28, 2023
     | 1,549 views

    Just think, the cross was a place of execution. It was therefore considered a place of defeat---the final word for the executed and a warning from those who did the executing.

    WIN BY LOSING Text: I Corinthians 1:18 -25 1 Corinthians 1:18-31  For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.  (19)  For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the ...read more

     | 12,420 views

    Christmas is often thought of as a time of peace. But what sort of peace does Jesus really bring?

    One of the favourite sayings on mass-produced Christmas cards is “peace on earth and goodwill toward men”. Christmas is the season of peace and goodwill, it is said. It is the time of year to put aside our conflicts and disagreements and to – well to be nice to each other temporarily. A famous ...read more

    Is Our Faith Blind ? Part I Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Feb 20, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,498 views

    This sermon is basically a defense of God's holy word. Our faith is not blind because we have a love letter from God explaining in great detail who He is and what kind of relationship we are to have with our Creator.

    IS OUR FAITH BLIND – PART I Atheists Question: Isn’t faith in God blind? After all, what evidence is there that a God you cannot touch or see actually exists? You might begin speaking to atheists by mentioning the fact that the Bible is a personal love letter from God in which our ...read more

    Listening To The Right Voice Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,188 views

    The only way we will not be fooled or led astray is to know His voice. He’s our Good Shepherd and He calls to us to come through Him into the fold. He’s the gate and the gate offers us protection, peace, freedom and security from those who would attempt to turn us from following the Shepherd.

    John 10:1-10: 1 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the gatekeeper opens. The sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own ...read more
