Dispel Your Doubts And Focus Your Faith - God Is Able To Do The Impossible Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Apr 25, 2017

God is able to perform miracles today. Whatever our circumstances, situations or problems are today, we can trust our Heavenly Father to care, to bless, to move, to act, to deliver and to heal today. Dispel your doubts and focus your faith on God.

In many ways today is no different from any other day and perhaps that is where the problem is... Our Sundays can feel so routine - our expectation is the same - being church together is something we can do on autopilot. We know God is the same yesterday, today and forever - but we specifically ...read more

Blessings Of Obedience

Contributed by Mark Opperman on May 6, 2015

Christian Cleverness Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 22, 2021

The Apostle Paul in all of the trials of his final years never had a lawyer. Jesus was his heavenly advocate, but he represented himself before both Jewish and Gentiles judges. As his own lawyer he was able to outwit the Supreme Court of the Jews.

The first impeachment trial of a President of the United States began on March 30, 1868. The 54 Senators were at their desks in the Senate Chamber, and at the front was Chief Justice Salmen P. Chase of the Supreme Court, who would preside over the trial. The President himself was not there. He ...read more

The Songs Of Ascent – Part 10 – Psalm 128 – The Blessing Of The Lord With Flow On Results. Fear The Lord! Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 22, 2023

Those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways will know God’s blessing. For the Jew it meant blessing in the land, but for Christians we have blessings in the heavenlies and spiritual blessings. Nations have rejected the Lord and can’t be blessed, but will get worse.

Having a Heavenly Father, who is Sovereign and Loving, we are actually enjoying many blessings. Let’s remember them always. And be thankful. Apart from the physical or material favors, what spiritual blessings from Him we could be thankful for?

Kept By The Power Of God Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 8, 2025

This sermon teaches that just as our heavenly inheritance is guarded for us, we ourselves are actively guarded by God's infinite power—accessed through our faith—ensuring we reach the ultimate goal of a future salvation that is already prepared to be revealed.

Introduction: The Two-Way Guarantee Last time we gathered, we looked at the incredible promise of verse 4: that there is an inheritance in heaven—incorruptible, undefiled, and unfading—that is being reserved for you. It is guarded and kept safe. But that can lead to an anxious question, can't ...read more

The Anchor Of The Soul

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Aug 21, 2025

Using the metaphor of a ship caught in a violent tempest, this sermon introduces the Christian hope found in Hebrews 6 as a "sure and stedfast" heavenly anchor for the soul, providing an unshakeable foundation during life's storms of anxiety, grief, and uncertainty.

Sermon: The Anchor of the Soul Text: Hebrews 6:17-20 I want you to imagine for a moment a small vessel upon the great and mighty sea. The sun is bright, the water is like glass, and the journey is pleasant. But as any mariner will tell you, the sea is a fickle master. Without warning, the sky can ...read more

Imitating Our Father

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2025

When it comes to extending mercy, it seems the Church has lost its way. Too many are quick to condemn people they don't like. This message is about being more like our Heavenly Father when it comes to acting with mercy.

There is a characteristic of our Father that is a part of our DNA as His sons and daughters that we are seeing less evident in the Church today. God’s heart for people. Now, you may be thinking, “Bro. Barry, hold up. What do you mean the Church is showing less of God’s heart today? What about ...read more

A Father Who Deserved Better

Contributed by Kenneth Trent on Jun 11, 2003

The father in this parable certainly deserved better than what he received from both his sons. I think we can all agree that our heavenly Father deserves better than what He receives from His children today.

A FATHER WHO DESERVED BETTER 11 Then He said: "A certain man had two sons. 12 "And the younger of them said to his father, ’Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me.’ So he divided to them his livelihood. 13 "And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed ...read more
