    Worship Is More Than You Think Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Feb 29, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,140 views

    “How should I approach God in worship? How should I prepare? What should I come expecting?” The writer of Hebrews in Hebrews 10: 19-25 opens the curtain and helps us see how God sees worship. He shows us that worship is more than we think.

    Probably the most preparation I have ever made for one worship service was when Jan and I started a church in Northern Michigan in a small town called “Charlevoix.” I was fresh out of seminary, 25 years old and excited about launching the new church. Yet, if you ever have been part of a church ...read more

    The final one of the seven ones that lead to unity is "There is one God and Father." In this sermon, we explore what it means that this one God is the Father of all, above all, through all and in all.

    A. We’ve been studying the seven ones that equal unity from Ephesians 4:4-6. 1. In our text for this series, Paul declared: 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope at your calling— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and ...read more

    Christian Baptism – The First Step In An Obedient Walk With The Lord – A Chat On Baptism Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 5, 2024
     | 1,189 views

    From my experience, those who have been baptised straight after conversion are stronger in their faith, as baptism is the first step forward in one’s walk with the Lord. We study the subject of water baptism in the light of scriptural practice. Some insights from over the years of my life.

    CHRISTIAN BAPTISM – THE FIRST STEP IN AN OBEDIENT WALK WITH THE LORD – A CHAT ON BAPTISM NOTE:- In this message I have put in writing, I am using the English spellings that I know differ from some American spellings. This subject, when mentioned, seems to have people jumping into various ...read more

    Has anyone ever betrayed you? Walked away? Abandoned you? If so, you might understand the word that leaps off the pages of scripture today. The word is: Apostasy. God talks a lot about apostasy and even allows Judas to become an illustration of it. What does God say about apostasy?

    Has anyone ever betrayed you? Walked away? Abandoned you? If so, you might understand the word that leaps off the pages of scripture today. The word is: Apostasy. In Matthew 24: 10-12 Jesus told us that it is what we should expect to as the world moves into its final chapters. He said: “At that ...read more

     | 2,595 views

    In John 10: 17 we hear Jesus say: “....I lay down my life---only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord.” Jesus was not a victim; He was a volunteer. Why did He volunteer to die for you?

    America is filled with volunteers. Did you know that every year 60.7 million adults volunteer which means 23.2 % of Americans volunteer. On average Americans give up 52 hours a year volunteering. Most volunteering involves food collection and distribution. Our church is blessed to have several ...read more

    Today we are continuing in our Genesis series: From Dust to Life. In Genesis 6, God warns Noah of the impending judgment coming on the earth, but He made a way for the salvation of Noah, his family, and the plethora of land animals.

    Acts 4:23-31 gives us several reasons why prayer is relevant.

    Introduction Have you ever prayed, and God clearly answered your prayer? In his book Say It With Love, Howard Hendricks has a delightful story about a little boy who saw God answer his simple prayer. Hendricks writes: We had a lovely couple in Dallas several years ago.

    The foolishness of idolatry.

    For those of you who know the Bible, the first person that would come to mind is Micah the prophet, a prophet who prophesized judgement to the southern and northern kingdoms: Israel and Judea. He also prophesized judgement to specific groups of people: evil-doers, rulers, and false prophets. Well, ...read more

    Paul proves through Scripture that Abraham was not justified by works.

    4:1 “What then shall we say that Abraham our father has found according to the flesh?” Let’s look at this verse, as all the others, one word at a time. “Then” is “therefore” in this text. Based on all Paul has told us about sin, righteousness, judgment – by the way, the three things Jesus said ...read more

    The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus provide the mercy of God that all of us need. In John 21, the resurrected Jesus appeared offered Peter the mercy of God that Peter so desperately needed.

    A. How great it is to worship the Lord together today, on the Sunday that many refer to as Easter Sunday, or Resurrection Sunday, because it correlates to the Sunday that Jesus arose from the grave two thousand years ago. 1. Praise God that the tomb of Jesus is still empty! 2. Turn to the person ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - Rebuild The Altars Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 19, 2024
     | 1,543 views

    There were four altars that Abraham built at various times in his life, and each of them had a special significance. As we understand what these altars represented, may we too take time to rebuild those areas where we are still lacking.

    We read in Genesis 21:22, At that time Abimelech went with Phicol, the commander of his army, and said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything you do. (GNB) Here we find that Abimelech a king from a foreign nation came to meet with Abraham. In general when a king wants to meet someone, he ...read more
