    Knowing how to live in the light of Christ’s return is far more important than knowing when He will return.

    We are saved by grace or not saved at all. God does all the work, we provide the faith...."

    The Final Message In Jude – The Glorious But Challenging Doxology – Jude 1:24-25 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 3,754 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE GLORIOUS BUT CHALLENGING DOXOLOGY – Jude 1:24-25 INTRODUCTION: We have proceeded through Jude slowly, bit by bit, to understand it. Jude began his letter wanting to write to encourage the believers in their common salvation, but then the urgency of contending for ...read more

    We find David in despair and anxiety and perhaps believing lies in his spirit and he sets himself apart from God and compromises who he is and his relationship with God.

    •Shem was one of the sons of Noah in the book of Genesis, the book of Chronicles, and the Quran. Genesis 11:10 records that Shem was 100 years old at the birth of Arphaxad, two years after the Flood, and that he lived for another 500 years after this, making his age at death 600 years.

    The Sixth Commandment: Thou Shall Not Murder! Series

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,303 views

    The Ten Commandments tell us that we should not commit murder. There is a difference between killing and murder. We are watching the death of democracy in America. The womb of the mother should be a sanctuary of hope, not a death chamber. This is the law of God, and it does not change.

    Turn in your Bibles to Exodus 20:13, as we continue our sermon series on the Ten Commandments with this simple statement, "Thou shall do no murder". Say that with me. "Thou shall do no murder". I doubt there are any gangsters or professional hitmen reading this right now. Yet ...read more

    What Is Christmas?

    Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 5, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,566 views

    With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. The Christmas story is the story of the virgin birth. It is a story of spiritual warfare. It is the story of Salvation.

    With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. Many people in the world today argue that Jesus wasn't really born on December 25th and that we are foolish to say that He was. First of ...read more

    Luke 2:1-7 teaches us about the birth of Jesus so that we can understand the reason for his birth.

    Introduction One commentator says, “If you try to point out something to a dog, the dog will often look at your finger instead of at the object you’re trying to point to. This is frustrating, but it illustrates a natural mistake we all make from time to time.” It’s a mistake that many people ...read more

    A Lesson In Evangelism From Philip And The Ethiopian Eunuch

    Contributed by Paul Green on May 19, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,239 views

    When Philip introduces the Ethopian Eunuch to Jesus – he does it God’s way. Philip wasn't an Apostle like Peter, a missionary like Paul, or a pastor like Timothy. He was a deacon, a servant of the church, an ordinary, average man who just couldn’t keep God to himself.

    There was a man on a business trip and when he checked in he was given one of the middle seats on the airplane. He was tired and he all he wanted to do was sleep, so he got a little bit irritated when the young girl sat next to him started to ask questions: “Mister, do you brush your teeth?” “Yes,” ...read more

    Peter and the disciples thought they were going fishing for some fish. But the Master Fisherman used it is an object lesson to catch them for His Grand and Eternal Purposes.

    A rather intriguing and controversial news item hit the news stands and the media in the last week. A mega-church pastor in Atlanta got into trouble with the law.

    A Welcome Change In Government Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022
     | 2,484 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more
