  • Jonathan Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Nov 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,329 views

    In an era of cancel culture and the quest to remain in power at all cost, the story of Jonathan is worth knowing about.

    November 26, 2022 We know virtually nothing about Jonathan. He was the oldest son of Saul and Ahinoam and next in line for the throne of Israel. The Bible does not tell us if he was married, but we are told that he had a son, Mephibosheth, who was 5 years old when Jonathen was killed on Mt. ...read more

     | 1,085 views

    This sermon explores the dangers of spiritual complacency, urging believers to avoid lukewarm faith and instead strive for genuine commitment to God.

    Praise the Lord this morning, cherished family of faith! It's such a joy to stand before you today, not as a stranger, but as a fellow traveler on this road of faith, a road that is often winding, often challenging, a lot of times hilly leading to valleys of trials, but always leading us closer ...read more

  • A "persian Flaw": How Peter (And The Rest Of Us) Need To Learn To Forgive Ourselves

    Contributed by Jessica Linde on Aug 29, 2024
     | 445 views

    Looking at the example of Peter and his denial of Jesus, this sermon's ultimate message is that God has long since already forgiven us of our mistakes, so now it's time that we forgive ourselves.

    When I was conversing with colleagues earlier this week about the theme of today’s service, I was reminded of an idiom that we have in the English language: for something to be a “Persian flaw”. Have any of you heard this idiom before? Right… okay. A couple of you. It’s one that isn’t as common ...read more

  • Setting Our Minds On Divine Things

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Sep 12, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 798 views

    Jesus taught his disciples to set their minds on divine things such as denying themselves and taking up their crosses to follow him. He added to that statements about "losing" our lives and to not be ashamed of the Gospel. What does all this mean?

    THERE ARE PASSAGES IN THE BIBLE THAT CAN CREATE FEAR AND POSSIBLY DISTRESS DUE TO THEIR BLUNT, BUT HIDDEN MEANING. IN LUKE 14:26, WE ARE TOLD THAT “IF ANYONE COMES TO ME AND DOES NOT HATE FATHER AND MOTHER, WIFE AND CHILDREN, BROTHERS AND SISTERS—YES, EVEN THEIR OWN LIFE—SUCH A PERSON CANNOT BE MY ...read more

  • "greater Works Or Great Excuses"

    Contributed by Anthony (Tony) Charles on Aug 17, 2025
     | 135 views

    Jesus promised believers would do greater works than He did, but instead of operating in God's power, we've substituted excuses for the supernatural works we're called to perform.

    GREATER WORKS or GREAT EXCUSES Text: John 14:12 – “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” Mark 16:17-18 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they ...read more

     | 1,096 views

    We are chosen by God to be His special people, set apart to proclaim His goodness to those in darkness.

    Peter says we're chosen by God, and we're His. That's a promise from way back that still counts today. You're not just some random kid; you're God's kid. You're not just some random kid; you're God's kid. Peter dares us to live like we mean it. Actions speak louder than words, and people are ...read more

  • The Miserable Son And The Maddened Sibling

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 24, 2022
     | 1,104 views

    Was the miserable son wasteful? Why did the father not punish the young son, if he deserved it? Was the maddened son self-centered and resentful?

    Verses 11 – 19: Was the miserable son wasteful? The young son’s portion of the property was 33% (Deuteronomy 21:17). By and large, he would have gotten this at his father’s death, although fathers in some cases decided to split their property early and resign from dealing with the estates. What is ...read more

  • Biblical Servanthood

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,012 views

    As with other traces of worldliness that has seeped into the Church, the preoccupation with self has found its way into the Church as well.

    We live in a very proud and egotistical generation. It is now considered acceptable and even normal for people to promote themselves, to praise themselves, and to put themselves first. Pride is considered a virtue by many. Humility, on the other hand, is considered a weakness. Everyone, it ...read more

    Our identity which comes, because God-in-the-flesh is also in us, means that we can stand against the ongoing corrupting influence of the old self and constantly be transformed into a new self which is conforming to the likeness of Jesus.
