Jesus Before Herod Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 20, 2023

Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more

I Have Seen The Lord! Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Apr 11, 2023

This is the narrative of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This was such a radical event in human history that it turned the world upside down.

No Room For Jesus

Contributed by David Owens on Dec 23, 2024

When Jesus was born, there was no room for them in the inn and so they had to stay in a stable. That physical reality represents a spiritual reality that also occurred. There was no room for Jesus in the lives and hearts of many people of that time and the same reality continues today.

A. Good morning church family and good morning to all our honored guests. 1. I hope you are being uplifted by our worship this morning. 2. It is our tradition here at Wetzel Road, to focus on the birth of Jesus on the Sunday closest to December 25th. 3. Because a large portion of the world is ...read more

The Tree-Climber Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus sees us hiding, calls us by name, invites Himself into our lives, and grace transforms what judgment never could.

INTRODUCTION Nobody puts “tree-climbing” on their spiritual résumé. We expect prayer, devotion, Scripture memory, generosity… but not scrambling up branches like a kid chasing a glimpse of a parade. Yet Zacchaeus’ story proves something astonishing: Sometimes reaching for Jesus begins ...read more

The Black Of Sin Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025

I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

Sent Into The World

Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025

40 days after the resurrection is the ascension. But as Jesus is ascending into heaven he is sending those left behind out into the world to make disciples and to transform the world. To discover unexpected joy in serving and giving.

Sent Into the World 13 “I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. 14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world. 15 My ...read more

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 7, 2024

Israel, under Joshua's leadership, had reclaimed southern Canaan from the various tribes who fought against them, Now Israel was facing a much larger enemy in much larger territory. The LORD, though, gave victory!

Introduction: The last several verses of Joshua 10 describe briefly how Israel, with God’s help, swept through southern Canaan. Once that was done, Joshua and all Israel returned to Gilgal (see Joshua 10:29-43). There was still a great deal for Israel to claim, however, and this chapter gives some ...read more

This sermon aims to move people from being consumers to people who disciple others. It emphasises that it is not the pastor's job to mature Christians but it is the role of the Christian to do this. It encourages personal prayer, bible reading and sharing

Discipleship part 2 INTRODUCTION To open I would like to start with a true story that happened here at our church. A mother at our playgroup called ‘Jane’ wanted to know more about God, so I started a bible study after the play group. After a few weeks she said it was great but what ...read more
