God Has A Better Plan Series

Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Mar 13, 2016

We have great potential to do greater things for God but many times, our eyesight are limited and we only see the problem not the solution. In this message, we will study the life of Gideon and how God's plan unfolded before his eyes.

INTRODUCTION: There was a story of a man who had an experiment with the fleas. Fleas are wingless insects with mouth parts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood living in mammals and birds or dogs. He put some fleas in a jar with a covered top on it.

A Foretaste Of Glory Divine Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 30, 2014

God says, “Upon the fabric of human suffering, I have superimposed my Biblical pattern, and if you will understand what I am trying to do, the result will be something beautiful if you just don’t mess it up.”

INTRODUCTION Today I want to talk about, “A Foretaste of Glory Divine.” Romans, 5:1-5 is really like a breath of fresh air. Many of you know Paul Long. His wife, Teddy, was buried just one week ago. She learned she had cancer last August. She was quite a fighter, but she went downhill ...read more

Chasing The Wind: Awe-God-You Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Mar 26, 2017

The believer must come to church with a sense of awe for God and listen to what the Spirit is saying. If we fail to invite God into our lives then we will live a meaningless life and that life will be a life of misery and be like chasing the wind.

Honouring Our Parents

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 14, 2017

Christian children are instructed to honour their parents. This is one of the few direct commands to children in the congregation. I fear this command is neglected among the faithful today. The message is a study of what the Apostle wrote.

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honour your father and mother’ (this is the first commandment with a promise), ‘that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.’” [1] The last days are described in frightful detail in Paul’s final letter to ...read more

Demetrius And The Riot In Ephesus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 15, 2017

Contributed by John Lowe on May 19, 2017

Paul’s third missionary journey was complete, having begun after a visit to “the church” in the holy city (18:22) and now ending there. His Greek mission was also complete. He would not return. Luke had prepared his readers well for this reality.

Affirmed In The Gospel Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Sep 1, 2018

In Galatians 2:1–10 Paul was “Affirmed in the Gospel”, as shown through 1) His Coming (Galatians 2:1–2), 2) His Companion (Galatians 2:3–5), 3) His Commission (Galatians 2:6–8), and 4) His Commendation (Galatians 2:9–10) that he was of one truth and one spirit with the other twelve apostles.

The nature of work has radically changed. Moving away from a “job for life”, todays workers struggle with company reorganizations, changing customer demographics, labour laws, environmental regulations, trade pacts and on and on. All this comes on top of personal struggles. This week a congregation ...read more
