"The Crowning Of The King"

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Sep 9, 2013

What enabled David to see his god-given destiny for his life fulfilled?

We read here how David finally seems to fulfill his God-given destiny.

Now, as we consider how ...read more

Transformation

Contributed by Allan Kircher on Feb 15, 2009

Such is the goal of being transformed; indeed, it is the goal of being a Christian! Yet why do many never experience the transformation God offers? Why do they remain "caterpillars"? Perhaps they lack the proper motivation.

Pastor Allan Kircher Associate Pastor Shell Point Baptist Church “Be Transformed” INTRODUCTION 1. In Ro 12:1-2, Paul makes the following plea regarding transforming our lives: "Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and ...read more

Understanding Who God Is Series

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Oct 25, 2011

Understanding who God is not an easy task. The 10 commandments let us know that if we do not get the first 4 commandments right, we will not get the last 6 correct and our relationship will suffer both with God and each other.

Understanding who God is Exodus chapter 20:1-17 Introduction- This morning we begin a new series called connecting with God and others. The purpose of the series is for us to see that a right relationship with God is needed before we can have a right relationship with each other. If you noticed ...read more

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 14, 2015

The crowd rejected Jesus that first Easter for the same reasons many reject Him today.

That first Easter, Jesus was rejected by the people. He was taken to Pilate; and Pilate found nothing against Him. So, he asked the people the most important question anyone will ever answer.

How is the first coming of Christ at Christmas connected to the coming of Christ at the end of time? See the connections and how the same preparation makes us ready to celebrate and anticipate the coming of Christ.

When you look at that picture of a mountain range, can you tell me which mountain is closest or where one begins and the other ends? It’s kind of hard to tell from a distance, isn’t it? Only when you get closer, into the mountain range itself will you be able to tell which comes first and where ...read more

Will You Be Ready?

Contributed by Scott Nichols on Jan 18, 2019

What if in the next moment - even as my words fall upon your ears - Christ returned with the shout of the archangel and the trumpet blast? "Faithful and true would He find us here, if He should come today?" Would you be ready?

The hymn we have just sung asks a pointed question. A question that I fear too often we dismiss in our daily lives. With all the concerns of living in the present moment - with all of the accompanying joys or frustrations - we fail to give much thought to the final moment. That moment when time, as ...read more

Cancel Easter?

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 1, 2020

Especially for 2020. On the first Easter, Jewish power players tried to MANAGE they truth of the resurrection, to cancel Easter forever. The truth could not be canceled, because disciples saw the risen Lord. The guards were afraid, but both the angel and Jesus said, "Do not be afraid."

CANCEL EASTER? Matthew 27:61-28:15 (Revised in 2020, during the novel coronavirus, covid-19 church cancellations—can be easily modified) In the eyes of many people, Easter has been canceled this year. Church is online only. Easter egg hunts and family dinners are canceled. Malls are closed, and ...read more

Grounded In Christ Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Jun 9, 2020

Some miss the gate. Some lose their way, by false teaching, counterfeit spirituality, or not putting beliefs into practice. Some are grounded in Christ, and stand firm in the storms of life!

Healthy Disciples: GROUNDED IN CHRIST—Matthew 7:13-27 Read Matthew 7:13-14. This is troubling. We know that many people in the world are not interested in eternal life with Christ as Lord and King, and that troubles us. Jesus implies, however, that many who claim to be Christians might not be ...read more

The Marathon Of Life

Contributed by Paddick Van Zyl on Jun 24, 2020

Many believers finish their race of faith and graduate to heaven. Fewer believers finish their race of faith WELL, and graduate. What is the difference? What can we do to ensure that we finish well? Life is a marathon, and thus needs stamina and endurance to finish. It is not a sprint.

The Marathon of Life Pastor Paddick Van Zyl 23-06-2020 Sermon Outline Introduction I came across the fowling written by J. Michael Shannon on the topic of running: “According to news reports, a 100-year-old British man has become the world’s oldest marathon runner, completing a race in Canada. ...read more

The Noble Task Of Leadership Series

Contributed by Allan Quak on Nov 22, 2018

Jesus has given leaders to the church who are called to a lead through their Christian character and example; it is not a calling that all desire because it comes with great responsibility. It is also a calling that requires great respect.

Message “The Noble Task of Leadership” 1 Timothy 3:1 Why do politicians get such a rough stick when it comes to their leadership? I don’t want you to answer out loud but I suspect, if we were to share our thoughts and answers, there would be many reasons … and a few of us might even start getting ...read more
