Contributed by James May on Jun 22, 2008

When the world is falling apart, and God’s judgments begin to fall, God is our refuge, our very present help in time of need. Whom, or what, shall we fear?

God is Our Refuge Psalms 46 By Pastor Jim May This 46th Psalm is a song of encouragement and a song of praise unto the Lord for his ever present help to Israel in her times of distress.

Covenant 08

Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Jan 6, 2008

We often get carried away thinking everything is all about us & our own personal Jesus, but the Holy Spirit wants us to understand that we do not exist in isolation. Just as when we get to heaven we will be part of a huge family, there is a corporate side

Promises are made to be broken. That’s what it seems like in the world isn’t it? It’s what seems to be going on in scripture too. A Covenant is of course just a promise, like in the covenant of marriage, & it can be between human beings alone or God & human beings. A very important part of a ...read more

Our Refuge And Strength Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 26, 2021

This is a sermon for Epiphany Sunday. I've linked Psalm 46 with the hymn "We Three Kings" as a way of reminding ourselves who this child/King is why He is worthy of any all the gifts we have to give Him.

Samuel could tell by the look on their faces that the elders weren’t making a social call to inquire about his health … and he was right. One of the elders cleared his throat. “Samuel … you are getting old and, well, no offense but we’re more than a little concerned about the future of our ...read more

Grave Side: A Short Lesson Of Hope! (Funeral Message) Series

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jan 27, 2014

Two passages of scripture in this case from the NLT as the family were not versed in scripture, for use at the grave side prior to the committal of the departed body to the earth. . To display the hope of the departed and our hope in our Lord.

Grave side! Paul in his second letter to the church at Corinth [chapter 5:1-9 NLT] wrote the words. “For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God ...read more

God's Word Or Ours?

Contributed by Greg Nance on Sep 11, 2010

Religious traditions are dangerous. We can easily be satisfied by them. Passified by them so that we go to sleep and do not follow God's call. May God deliver us!

Matthew 15:1-20 has been a key passage to point out the danger of vain worship by following man made traditions instead of God's word. I have often heard this passage applied to the activities that we do in our church services, but Jesus' application is actually much broader. So just what is a ...read more

Do We Have A Clean House This Easter? Series

Contributed by Guy Glass on Mar 12, 2010

Jesus twice clean the temple. This message looks at "our house" and asks the question, "Is our house clean?" One interesting point is that the temple had become a den of thieves. Often our attitude robs ourselves or others from worship.

What Are You Looking At?

Contributed by Stephen Becker on Jan 26, 2008

A look at Paul’s teaching in 1 Cor 1:10-18, emphasizing the Message and the point of the Gospel--looking to Christ--instead of focusing on our problems and issues here in this fallen world. God’s called us into salvation, how let’s give Him the Glory whi

Burrs In Our Saddle Series

Contributed by Guy Glass on Jul 2, 2003

The third message in a series looking at what keeps us from really dreaming great things for God.

“Burrs in Our Saddle” Are You an Old Dog? INTRODUCTION: It is amazing to me the lengths a horse will go to removing, or trying to remove a burr under its saddle. The burr, as small as it is, is a source of great discomfort. That burr causes major discomfort to the horse. Discomfort to the point ...read more

Contributed by Michael Stark on Oct 24, 2014

This is on the cleansing of the Temple.

Last week recap: Palm Sunday and Triumphal Entry: donkey, crowds, cheering, etc. Mark places the temple cleansing on the next day, while in Matthew it appears to happen the same.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2024

Controversy in the Temple.

BEFORE ABRAHAM WAS, I AM. John 8:46-59. JOHN 8:46. There was nobody who could lay any charge against our spotless Saviour. So why do people refuse point blank to receive the Gospel?
