    If we continue to OVERCOME and stay out of the Devil’s POTS and KETTLES we will be rewarded BIG TIME! And even if we die at Satan’s hands, Jesus’ hands will not only welcome us, but give us a crown to wear for eternity.

    To avoid burnout and stay focused on our mission to share the good news we must be raised up revved up and prayed up according to Isaiah 40:21-31 1st Corinthians 9:16-23 and Mark 1:29-39

    Don’t Play With Ghosts, Witchcraft Or Mediums

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 23, 2024
     | 1,008 views

    The Halloween Season seems innocent and as something laughable, but under the veneer is a real danger. God, who's much wiser than us, warned us to stay away from all witchcraft, necromancy, spirits, and satanism. Warn your friends of this menace.

    DON’T PLAY WITH GHOSTS, WITCHCRAFT OR MEDIUMS Deut. 18:9-12 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. This reminds me of the two old baseball players, Abe and Jake, who made a deal. Whichever one died first, he would come back and tell the other guy if there's baseball in Heaven. 2. A few months later, ...read more

    It seems many of us find ourselves caught between two tensions. As Christ followers, we do not want to be divisive or pick unnecessary fights. We also do not want to stay on the sidelines of important discussions and allow our voices to be muted by threats or intimidation.

    Philippians 2 Unity in a Divided World September 22, 2019 Philippians 2:14-18 NIV Do everything without complaining or arguing, 15 so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe 16 as you ...read more

    It's dangerous to cut off the blood flow to your extremities. We risk damage when this happens. It's also very dangerous to cut ourselves off spiritually and relationally. Communion helps us to stay healthy and thriving.

    Man was not made for solitude. He has a craving for fellowship and sympathy which can be satisfied only in the conscious possession of the affection of another. A true friend therefore, is one of the best of blessings. I rejoice that in Jesus we have a friend that stays closer than a brother.

     | 74 views

    Following Jesus means courageous obedience and joyful endurance, even when it brings suffering or opposition, because God’s presence empowers and sustains His people.

    There are weeks when life feels like a locked door. You show up with a key that used to work—prayer you’ve prayed, habits you’ve honored—and the tumblers don’t budge. Bills stack up. Sleep slips away. A hard conversation waits across the breakfast table. Your calendar looks like a crowded hallway ...read more

    Sermon # 11 - Faith That Inspires Others Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 652 views

    Faith prompted Abram, Ruth and Matthew to step out in obedience to God. The outcome was that they were blessed and became an inspiration to others. May our faith in God be so contagious that many others will be encouraged to put their faith in Jesus.

    We read in Genesis 12:4, When Abram was seventy-five years old, he started out from Haran, as the LORD had told him to do; and Lot went with him. (GNB) Abram believed the words of the Lord who called him, left his country and people to follow after God. The reason for this kind of implicit ...read more

    James 1 - Faith In Trials

    based on 14 ratings
     | 8,597 views

    When we go through trials our joy comes from standing firm on the promises that God has given us. It’s through difficult times that faith has the biggest part to play. We show the reality of God’s love for us because we have joy when life is difficult.

    I want to explain to those who don’t know, what its like to be a Cardiff city fan. Each season begins with promise, and I feel a sense of expectation and excitement. For the first half of the season, I hope, and dream and see a bit of just what can be achieved with great people such as Andy Legg ...read more

    Sermon # 48 - No Room For Rebellion Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 471 views

    Jonah’s heart was hard and right to the end he was not willing to accept God’s forgiveness and compassion that was extended to the people of Nineveh. Rebellion against God is sin and if there is such a sin in our lives, may we set it aside and walk in obedience to the Holy Spirit.

    Today’s meditation is taken from Jonah 4:9, “But God said to him, "What right do you have to be angry about the plant?" Jonah replied, "I have every right to be angry—angry enough to die!"” (GNB) God spoke to Jonah who was annoyed and angry, and asked him if it was right on his ...read more
