    God changes us through our devotion to the apostles’ teaching so that the church can awe and bless the world.

    Scripture Introduction At a previous pastorate, one of our church member applied to teach at the local Christian school. He interviewed for the job and they accepted him. Then they gave him a statement of faith to sign. Much was what you would expect: do you affirm the virgin birth, the deity of ...read more

    So often Christmas is a let down instead of full of joy - could it be because our focus is on us not Him?

    There is a story told of a young lad who wrote a more unusual letter to Santa, not asking for this toy or that one but saying: ‘you didn’t bring me anything good last year or the year before. This is your last chance’! You know a bit like that boy we all know that often Christmas often can be a ...read more

    Recognizing The Sovereign

    Contributed by Kyle Blanton on Mar 26, 2008
     | 3,453 views

    Not so much a description of "whosoever" or "elect" as it is a recognition of the sovereignty of God and His right to do what He chooses.

    Recognizing the Sovereign Romans 9:14-33 3-30-08 a.m. (PDBC) This passage of scripture has presented the church with much difficulty. Here we have the clashing of philosophies regarding “Whosoever” and the “Elect”. I admit that I wasn’t looking forward to dealing with it this week. I know that ...read more

    Easter Day

    Mark’s original ending has been seen as controversial yet it is so powerful & real & full of challenge.

    The Easter resurrection story in Mark offers us a different slant in a way on old story. It offers us an ending where the feeling is not spontaneous joy & praise, but fear & confusion & doubt. It is a ending that has troubled the Church for generations, indeed it made the people who put together ...read more

    Prevailing Prayer

    based on 9 ratings
     | 6,043 views

    In times of crisis, we are to express the positive through our words and works so that we enjoy the peace of God.

    In times of crisis, like what we are experiencing right now, we usually hear, “Why worry when you can pray?” Prayer allows us to prevail over these trying times. But, frankly, we tend to worry more than pray. One of my favorite verses in the Bible on prayer is Philippians 4:6-9. “Do not be anxious ...read more
