Receiving The Word Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Dec 29, 2008

Jesus is addressing those who think they believe, who think they follow God. They had the notion that they were children of God, but had never yielded to Him the depth of allegiance that is at the core of real belief. It is a dangerous spiritual state.

Grace Under Fire

Contributed by Glenn Newton on Sep 12, 2020

Sometimes speaking the truth will not be accepted, but many times we are called to Stand Up for God's Truth and don't understand how it will be used for God's Glory.

Grace Under Fire Acts 7:54-60 The Stoning of Stephen 54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 “Look,” he ...read more

#2 - Revelation: God Speaks Series

Contributed by Darrell Stetler Ii on Feb 13, 2013

A series on theology. God still speaks - through the universe, through His Word, through His Son.

The fundamental question about God that we have to ask first is this: Does He speak? Does He communicate? Revelation means that God is not discovered by us, he REVEALS HIMSELF to us. REVELATION means God chooses to reveal his nature and his will to us. The LORD has made known His salvation; ...read more

The Law Enslaves The Believer Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 1, 2019

Paul had gone to great lengths as he tried to show these Galatians the foolishness of being swayed by these false teachers, who asserted that while we are saved by grace, we are still obligated to keep the Law of God perfectly or we would lose our salvation.

God's Eternal Yes And Yes! Series

Contributed by Matthew Oliver on Oct 20, 2012

2 Corinthians 1:12-24. God's eternal 'yes and yes' states a truth which dispells the relativism and lies of the post-modern era, where each person claims the right to their truth. Christians are called to rebut this split world view with the true unity

We just starting out on our sermon series through Paul’s second letter to the Christians at Corinth. This week we hear Paul as he engages a Christian community that is living out the fruits of a cultural context that was more of Greek philosophy than of God.

Be Strong In The Lord & In His Mighty Power Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Dec 15, 2016

Never give up in the fight against sin and evil. But always remember the power of God and the armour with which he’s equipped us. And pray on every occasion that you’ll be able to stand firm.

Do you remember when we looked at Paul’s prayer in Eph 3 that I commented how difficult it is to achieve the sort of unity that God wants from his church? In fact I pointed out that that’s why Paul prays the way he does: because only by God’s power can this miracle come about. Paul knows that apart ...read more
