Miracle On 1st Century Street Series

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 23, 2008

In this sermon, I use the movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate the difference between fact and fiction. The miracle of Jesus’ birth and life on 1st Century Street are altogether true and are worth believing in.

Christmas Climax Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Dec 27, 2008

Even though Christmas is over for 2008, Christmas isn’t. Because Christmas is really just building to its final climax that will never disappoint and will never end.

One thing struck me this Christmas that strikes me every Christmas—and that’s how quickly it’s all over. You spend all that time decorating. You spend all that time shopping and getting ready. And then it’s over. Before we sat down for Christmas dinner, Mom said, “OK, we’re going to linger over ...read more

Fog And Jelly Beans

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 4, 2009

A look at how we would live if we knew that our life was about to end. This was a message for the first Sunday of the New Year

Having grown up in the Maritimes and spending most of my teens years around boats and ships of one description or another I am fairly familiar with fog, especially when you consider my formative years were spent in Saint John or as we fondly remember it CFBC, Canada’s Fog Bound City.

True And False Hope

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Jan 8, 2009

A message about two types of hope; one from Jesus and the other from Satan. And a cautionary reminder that, since we all seek hope, we must be very careful on which one we choose.

A man had not been feeling well and went to his doctor for a check-up. After the examination, the doctor left the room and had the nurse call the man’s wife into his office.

Five practical precepts for making good choices based on Esther chapter two.

When God Wrestles With Family Tensions

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 16, 2009

We use avoidance, anger, anxiety, and aloneness to manage family tensions. We even use self-centered prayer. But when we let God wrestle with us, we are changed and we accept vulnerability in family life.

The most critical issue in family life is not anger or argument. It is avoidance. What plagues most families is not that they are embroiled in fighting or torn by argument. What destroys families is that people drift apart from one another; they avoid one another. You see, if you fight with ...read more

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jan 23, 2009

Lofty Lord, Live Lips, Long Layby

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 28, 2009

Where do we get the motivation to keep doing what the Lord wants us to do? We affirm that we are called by a God of power, who is able to equip us; He will give us victory eventually even though it may come slowly (Deacon Ordination Sunday).

This evening two very good football teams will face each other under the dome.

Promises: Barnabas

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 30, 2009

As we grow older we find meaning in encouraging others, especially the young. Trusting them is equivalent to trusting God.

We like to say that age is a state of mind more than it is a set of numbers on the calendar. We tell each other, "You’re only as old as you feel." But you know, I’m finding that it is important to know what you feel. It is important to listen to yourself as you age. I am not referring to aches ...read more
