Where Has All The Magic Gone?

Contributed by Jay Winters on Feb 7, 2008

This Transfiguration sermon seeks to show God’s face, Jesus, for who He truly is using the Wizard from the Wizard of Oz as a negative example - our God is no man behind a curtain.

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who… Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I didn’t see the Wizard of Oz until just two years ago.

Fellow-Citizens In The Commonwealth Of Israel Series

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Jan 30, 2011

This talk seeks to unpack what it means to be fellow citizens within the Commonwealth of Israel - something that is now a fact for every believer, whether we are a Jewish believer in Yeshua, or a Gentile believer in Jesus.

Whenever scripture says, “Therefore” (2:11) it would be wrong to try to understand what follows without referring back to what has just been said. I guess I could say please listen to Phil Wason’s excellent sermon from last week on our Church website; but instead I’ll give a quick summary of ...read more

Please Restore Us! Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Aug 1, 2016

See To It, Then

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Feb 21, 2017

Today more than ever we need the light of life. We also know that Satan masquerades as an Angel of Light so we must be careful to seek the light of Christ and not be fooled.

The Voice.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 28, 2013

John the Baptist provides a prime example of a preacher's humility: pointing away from himself to Jesus: not seeking to add followers to His own fold, but to Christ, the Son of God.

THE VOICE. John 1:19-28. The prologue to John’s Gospel gives an account of how Eternity broke into time (John 1:1; John 1:14): yet Time encroaches on the very timelessness of the account in the person of “a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). This John is not to be confused with ...read more
