Opening Eyes!

Contributed by K. Heath Mcdougal-Deans on Mar 29, 2020

Open your eyes, your 2020 vision is not over! It should be growing. The current pandemic is an opportunity to open our eyes to a new vision, to opportunity, to come together as a world and heal divisiveness. After all, 'We are the world, We are 'Thee' children".

A Full Examination Of Gog And Magog From Ezekiel 38 & 39 – Part 1 Of 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022

The GOG-MAGOG matter has been speculated over for a long time. Some opinions are ludicrous. This two part examination brings together all revenant scriptures to show this Gog Magog war must be just before, or at the Second Coming. This is used in my bible study group.

A FULL EXAMINATION OF GOG AND MAGOG FROM EZEKIEL 38 & 39 – PART 1 OF 2 CHAPTERS 38 AND 39 This interesting examination of who Gog and Magog really is, is thorough, and could be a bit difficult to follow. It was prepared for my bible study group and given there. One day, this great war ...read more

The Easiest Yoke We Can Carry

Contributed by Craig Condon on Nov 9, 2015

As we come together to worship every week, we admit our hunger for God. God sees our emptiness and feeds us the choicest food, the flesh and blood of the one who invites us today to take his yoke upon us and learn from him for he is meek and humble.

Have you ever noticed that there are always some people who can never be satisfied or happy with anything? Jesus did, and in our Gospel reading from Matthew this morning he compared the people of his day to children who can’t be satisfied by any game or activity, whether it is festive or ...read more

Jesus The Controversialist Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 17, 2023

Mark portrays Jesus as strong and bold as He dealt with spiritual controversies "head on." In this section of Mark, he grouped together four incidents that showed how Jesus faced the controversies and taught the truth. We need to ask ourselves if we are more like Jesus or the Pharisees.

A. Let me begin with a question: when you try to picture Jesus in your mind, how do you picture Him? 1. Do you picture Him being gentle, meek and loving? Certainly, He was all those things. 2. But Jesus also had other characteristics and other sides to Him. 3. When we read the Gospel accounts, ...read more

How To Be A Spiritual Lion Tamer Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 4, 2021

What qualified David to be used so mightily by God that two pagan kings were converted to fear His God. The story of Daniel and the Lion's Den supplies us with many encouraging spiritual lessons about how to be the kind of man whom God fully supports!

One of my favorite verses is II Chronicles 16:9a: “For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.” It’s a verse that gives hope to any one and every one of us who would like to be used of the Lord that great ...read more

Contributed by Michael Stark on Dec 29, 2021

A new year will shortly be upon us. While none of us is able to predict what we precise situations Christians will face in the coming year, we know from Scripture some general conditions that will confront us.

“Only let your manner of life be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving side by side for the faith of the gospel, and not frightened in anything by your opponents.

Sermon # 1- Life Changing Questions Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 16, 2024

Think about the questions that were posed to various people in the bible in the Old and New Testaments. The way the people responded brought about major transformation in their lives and that’s exactly what God can do to those who believe in Him wholeheartedly.

We read in Matthew 9:27-28, When Jesus left that place, two blind men followed him. They shouted, "Have mercy on us, Son of David.” Jesus went into a house, and the blind men followed him. He said to them, "Do you believe that I can do this?" "Yes, Lord," they answered. ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 28 – Persecution Of The Righteous With Schemes And Actions; Wickedness Hates Good - Chapter 3:61-62 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 30, 2025

We have some insights into the problems Jeremiah faced with schemes against him from vindictive assailants. All day long he had to face their whispers and their hatred. Don’t confine this to Jeremiah because it is rapidly increasing against those who love their Lord. Perilous times are coming.

Familiarity Breeds A Feeling Of Contempt And Worthlessness.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 22, 2016

Being a preacher in the town where I was brought up is hard. Yes I was no angel, but my bad reputation still stands as I am constantly reminded. We have all moved on, even Jesus, who had this problem as well.

God takes us on – just as Boaz took on Ruth – and he makes promises to us…and gracious provision. And he “works all things together for good to those who love him, who are called according to his purpose” (Rom. 8:29).

You’ve heard the one, I ‘m sure, about the lonely frog who goes to see a fortune-teller. He’s told not to worry. She says, “You’re going to meet a beautiful young girl, and she will want to know everything about you.” “That’s great!” the ...read more

Conformity Is This World’s Sheep Dog Trials – A Very Serious Matter Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022

Conformity is the rule these days under increasing totalitarianism, but that will present problems for the Christian. One stands firm or compromises. To be faithful means holding fast to God’s word, not yielding our faith to distorted values so that we “fit in.” This is a difficult area.

CONFORMITY IS THIS WORLD’S SHEEP DOG TRIALS – A VERY SERIOUS MATTER INTRODUCTION TO CONFORMITY The sheep dog trials found in sheep breeding countries is a competition where sheep dogs round up a group of sheep and ensure they are penned.
