    According to God's own Word, every nation tribe, people and language will be represented in heaven. It is important, however, not to confuse the reach of God's saving grace to all nations with a misconception that all roads lead to God.

    To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing. (Isaiah ...read more

    The Temptation To Wield Power Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000
     | 7,427 views

    There are two types of power in the world - secular power wielded to serve the individual and God’s kingdom power - given to serve others.

    Jesus and his disciples are on their way to Jerusalem and when the moment is right, James & John take Jesus aside and ask him to grant them a favour. It’s a simple enough request. They want to sit on his right and left hand sides in glory. They’ve understood what he’s just told them about his ...read more

    You are a valuable treasure to God. God finds great treasures in the common "folk." This sermon uses both biblical and secular illustrations.

    2 Corinthians 4:7 -- “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” l. INTRODUCTION -- THE CELLIST OF SARAJEVO On May 27, 1992, in Sarajevo, one of the few bakeries that still had a supply of flour was making and distributing ...read more

    Finding Joy Amidst Life's Surprises

    based on 13 ratings
     | 8,020 views

    Christmas is meant to be joy time, and in the stories of Christmas from the Biblical to the secular there is a theme of joy amidst surprises that runs through them.

    Finding Joy Amidst Life’s Surprises Luke 1:39-55 (New International Version) 39At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40where she entered Zechariah’s home and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and ...read more

    Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,892 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

    This message unpacks Jesus teaching about how to live as his coming approaches and the church is challenged and persecuted by the secular and pagan culture.

    Title: “Birth Pains” Text: Matthew 24:1-14 (The Olivet Discourse) Subject: How do we live for Christ as the age moves toward his return? Complement: We live wisely, fearlessly, courageously, devotedly, missionally…with endurance inspired by his coming. Big Idea; Jesus calls us to faithfulness as ...read more

    This sermon explores the balance between our spiritual commitments as Christians and our civic duties in a secular world, guided by Jesus' teachings.

    Good Morning, Church Family!

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

    STAR OF BETHLEHEM MYTH: The Magi followed the star from their homes all the way to Jesus. - This is the version of the story that we’ve seen shared in countless Christmas plays, movies, and cards. - And, as we’re going to be discussing at several points in this series, the fact that ...read more

    The valleys of life are not dead-end streets, because God provides a way for us to get through.

    Introduction: There is one thing that we all can be sure of God is always at work. When you are at some crossroads in your life, when you are forced to face the trials and tribulations of life, when you are at the point of not knowing what to do you can always trust in God because He does. ...read more

    When God Says Move

    Contributed by Kraig Pullam on Feb 17, 2014
    based on 7 ratings
     | 44,020 views

    One of the hardest struggles is knowing what God is telling you to do, when God is saying to stay and when He instructs you to move foward. The life of Moses gives a clear example of navigating through this arduous dilemma of life.

    One of the hardest struggles is knowing what God is telling you to do/when God is saying to stay and when He is saying to move. Not knowing is this God, is this family pressure, yourself. Fasting and praying and still not hearing clearly from God while you are in the will and the way of ...read more
