When All Is Not Well

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 25, 2025

Faith clings to God when He seems silent, unfeeling, or contradictory, trusting His unchanging purpose and ultimate provision beyond all present pain.

Introduction – When Trouble Piles Up Fast Have you ever had one of those days when everything seems to go wrong at once—one problem triggering the next like falling dominoes?

Turning The Tables

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

When pride roars loudest and evil seems unchallenged, God turns the tables—silencing injustice, restoring peace, and defending those who trust Him.

The Lion’s Pride When Nahum wrote his prophecy, Nineveh was still a considerable world dominating power. The city stood like a glittering jewel on the banks of the Tigris River — towering walls, wide streets, palaces carved with lions, kings who thought of themselves as gods. The Assyrian Empire ...read more

Who Is Melchizedek? Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 10, 2001

Melchizedek seems like a mysterious figure in Genesis as he makes a brief appearance and then disappears until the New Testament. This sermon looks at the communion of Christ foreshadowed in Genesis.

Who is Melchizedek? Genesis chapter 14 begins by detailing how the five cities of the plains rebelled against the king of Elam. We aren’t given the prior history except that these cities served this king and paid tribute to prevent being destroyed. It was not uncommon in those days for a defeated ...read more

Is God Hidden? Series

Contributed by Mark Haines on Nov 17, 2001

An exploration of the reasons why God seems hidden when we go through adversity and how we can build our trust in him despite it all.

Introduction: There are three ancient questions that are as current as this morning’s news. I call them the “Three Questions No One Asks Out Loud.” 1. Is God unfair? 2. Is God silent? 3. Is God hidden? Plunging into these questions is not simply an intellectual exercise. They are vital issues in ...read more

A Good Place To Start

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Dec 7, 2002

Second Sunday in Advent: The evangelist Mark starts with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness. He seems to leave out Christmas. But perhaps, for us, it is a ’good place to start.’

The Gospel Lesson today is one of the most interesting Advent / Christmas lessons in all of scripture. I say that because - did you notice that something seems to be missing? There is no mention of Christmas in this Gospel. Mark mentions neither the miraculous conception nor the birth of Jesus. And ...read more

The Great Series

Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jan 16, 2003

Before Abraham was born, I AM. At first blush it seems a strange thing for Jesus to say. Even Jesus’grammar would appear to be up the wall. But is it?

19-01-03 Stody This year we plan to base the themes of our services in Stody around some of the "I AM" statements of Jesus in the Gospel according to St. John 1. Before Abraham was born, I AM (Jn 8:58) 2. I am the Bread of life (Jn 6:35) 3. I am the ...read more

Today, we live in a world full of sin and corruption. It is a world that seems to focus more on the pleasures and material things that surround us than on the spiritual things of God!

Your Ordinary

Contributed by Larry Doolittle on Sep 23, 2004

Maybe your life seems ordinary, regular, nothing special; God knows better, he wants to take what you see as ordinary and change it into the extraordinary.

Why Geckos Go To Church Series

Contributed by Rob Jansons on Apr 10, 2007

Little lizards crawl around church building in Asia and no one seems to mind because everyone knows that they are harmless and they catch bugs that are harmful. Not a bad work ethic.

We are looking at the book of Proverbs. Like one who seizes a dog by the ears is a passer-by who meddles in a quarrel not his own. Remember last week we met two women who live in the pages of the book of Proverbs: Lady Wisdom and Madame Folly. The final question is: who are you going to ...read more
