    Christians are often accused of hypocrisy. With that in mind, it is a legitimate question to ask, “What is the root of this hypocrisy?” or “Where does this hypocrisy come from?” There is a simple answer to these questions, hypocrisy come when we allow o

    This section proves that our Great Physician is ruler over the moral realm also. While ridding a man of physical illness, He also wields the power to deliver him from sin, the root of all the world’s evils.

    MATTHEW 9: 1-8 [THE MESSIAH REVEALED SERIES] THE POWER OF FORGIVENESS [Psalm 103:1-14 / Mk. 2:3-12, Lk. 5:18-26] The third miracle in the 2nd triplet of miracles is the healing of the paralytic.

    To carry the gospel rooted in the Jewish faith to a Gentile world that could care less would require a special man. That man was Paul. In the Providence of God, Paul went forth to bring the gospel to the world. God wanted us to hear the gospel!

    The Cleft Of The Rock

    Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 30, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 34,519 views

    The analogy of Christ to a rock has its roots in Scripture. There are numerous Old Testament references to the Lord as a "Rock" or "Rock of my salvation." Or as one of our songs, drawn from Psalm 18 says, “The Lord liveth, and blessed be the Rock.”

    This sermon is rather unusual in format. I paused at various times for one of the members to lead a song relevant to the topic under consideration at the moment, sometimes followed by a prayer directly related to the subject. These notes reflect the pauses and the songs that were sung at those ...read more

    The Word Is Not Void Series

     | 3,268 views

    When we share our faith, we don’t know ahead of time whether or not the soil is fertile; but if we are faithful at broadcasting the seed of God’s Word, then if it happens to land in fertile soil, it will take root and begin growing.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled, “The Word Is Not Void,” and it’s taken from what is called “The Parable of the Growing Seed.” So, what message does this parable speak to believers? It appears to address the fear of failure in evangelism. Allow me to share from the church statistical ...read more

    The Wheat And The Darnel

    Contributed by Revd. Martin Dale on Jul 18, 2020
     | 3,247 views

    In Church we will often find both wheat and Darnel growing side by side in the pews.Should we try to root the Darnel out and purify the church so we only have wheat (as we of course perceive it)

    Mt 13:24-43 I came across this interesting story. I cannot vouch for its authenticity however but it makes a good point. Story: A man was stopped at a traffic light and when the light turned green he was distracted and didn’t budge. The lady in the car behind him started honking her horn again ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 30, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,079 views

    The concept of divine interruption is deeply rooted in Scripture and challenges us to trust in God's sovereignty over our lives. Are we willing to let God change our plans, redirect our steps, and shape our journey?

    Interrupted by God: Embracing Divine Disruptions Introduction: Today, we reflect on a powerful quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer: “We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.” Bonhoeffer, a theologian who lived during a time of great crisis, understood the importance of yielding to ...read more

    Life has a way of wearing us down, doesn't it? And when we're discouraged, what usually happens? We start complaining & feeling sorry for ourselves. We may even turn bitter & isolate ourselves.

     | 111 views

    There are moments in Scripture when the storyline slows down, the camera zooms in, and God exposes the raw human heart—its wounds, its fears, its bitterness, its impulses, and its desperate attempts to seize control when God has called us to surrender.
