    Membership - choosing where to apply our freedom...To the kingdom of God.

    Limits of membership In the past several weeks we have been discussing Christian freedom.

    The American church has lost its bearing on true worship. It is time for the church to recall the and return to our God-given purpose for the church to worship

At the time, the Riverwalk Mall was crowded with some 1,000 shoppers causing ...read more

    Instead of thinking of Revelation in terms of beasts, dragons and plagues, think of it in terms of Heavens perspective on history, Jesus’ sovereign control and ultimate triumph over evil.

    January 13, 2024 Everyone is curious about the future.

    This is a sermon for a baptism service in downtown Toronto. The focus is on new life in Christ.

    This is a very special day. This day marks that there has been a beginning. Spiritual birth has occurred! There is a clear beginning to the life of a Christ-follower. It’s not physical birth. It is not by being born in a ‘Christian’ country that a person has the right to be ...read more

    What does it mean to belong to the church, Jesus' physical body here on Earth?

    The body of Christ. Just what does that mean to us? And why is it important? The Bible clearly teaches the body of Christ is the church. I was looking at few articles and blogs from people who say they love Jesus but hate the church. What an interesting concept. Is that possible? According to ...read more

    When The Glory Of God Departs Series

     | 3,692 views

    The departure of the glory of God from the Temple was a milestone event. Was God forsaking His promises to Israel?

    - It’s worth noting as I get started this evening that this is a wild chapter with a lot of interesting and unusual details. Those parts of the chapter are worth a Bible study unto themselves to unpack those meanings. This sermon, though, is not that Bible study. - Instead, we will be focusing ...read more

    Provoking Thoughts From 2 John

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 10, 2022
     | 3,817 views

    Obviously, we are dealing with 2 John in this message. You have probably noticed that second and third John are very short.

    Second John only has 13 verses. Third John only has 15 verses. But, do not make the mistake of thinking that because these two books are short that it diminishes what John has to say. Illus: John was like some people we meet. They do not say a lot, but they have the most to say when they do ...read more

    Why We Are Here

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021
     | 4,385 views

    I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

    The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more
