     | 4,653 views

    Joy in the Lord and gentleness in dealing with others affect our quality of life. When we are thinking right about God and our relationship with Him, joy and gentleness naturally flows.

    Intro In Philippians 4:1 we are given the directive to “stand fast in the Lord.” i That is followed by a series of exhortations that tell us how to do that. The exhortation in verses 2-3 is about maintaining unity in the congregation. That is not always easy to do, is it? That’s why Ephesians 4 ...read more

    A Sermon for Holy Wednesday exploring the concept of Betrayal from Judas and the other disciples right through to us. An opportunity for us to think about the true price of the cross for us all.

    Lord, as we continue to travel through this Holy Week towards the cross with you, may you open our hearts and minds as we experience the joys and sorrows with you. Amen.

     | 2,884 views

    I think God gave us the caterpillar and the butterfly to tell us about ourselves. To tell us that we need a transformation to become all we’re meant to be.

    “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.” -2nd Cor 3:17-18 We as ...read more

    As we look at the life of Elijah, I think we will see a resemblance of what he went through and what we go through today as we serve our Savior.

    If you've been with us for the past 7 weeks then you know that we took a journey to visit the seven churches that Jesus wrote letters to in the Book of Revelation. We found that those messages still apply to our individual lives and our churches today. Now we're going to change gears for ...read more

    This sermon looks at the establishment of the church and looks at what a firm foundation should look like. It should make you think "Am I doing my part"

    Introduction Today, we’re going to look at a passage of Scripture that reveals the foundation of the church and the assurance we have in Jesus’ promise. Let’s open our Bibles to Matthew 16:18.

     | 2,501 views

    'Blessed are the peacemakers.' We all too easily think in terms of fight or not fight. But Jesus gives us a clear goal when we are in or see situations of conflict.

    Note: this was a talk for a family service which children come to. So we’re only covering one Beatitude and it’s fairly simple. Over the past two weeks we’ve started to look at the Sermon on the Mount. This is a sermon preached on … you guessed it! … a mountainside. It’s the longest of Jesus’ ...read more
