     | 4,429 views

    The message today might seem a bit harsh but Jesus spoke and we have to preach it. I admit I am more comfortable whispering repentance and shouting grace.

    TEXT; MATTHEW 5:27-32 TITLE: “Would You Be Blind” INTRODUCTION: Most Sundays I am excited to preach. I’m usually fired up to prepare a message and present it. I have to admit that it’s not really the case today. The passage we’re going to study this morning is a tough and controversial ...read more

    Admittedly a bit weird...the title of my latest Sermon? Well when some things are not heard if reported gently, then they have to be proclaimed like a herald to draw public attention. WHAT THINGS? Fulfillment of all Biblical Prophecies vis-a-vis imminent

    Dear Church in the First part of my message, you would remember that we had classified the Signs of imminent Church Rapture under the following headings... 1. Natural 2. "Battle Royal" 3. Social 4.Historical 5. International 6.Political 7. Pseudo-Spiritual and 8. Commercial. of which in the first ...read more

    The Hard Work Of Trust

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Mar 16, 2021
     | 3,293 views

    God teaches us to trust in him and in his Son our Saviour. God tells us that anxious care and bitter sighing won’t help. Discontentment will get us nowhere, but only humble trust and steadfast faith.

    Have you ever felt like complaining against the LORD? Maybe you’ve prayed and prayed, but the answer that you wanted hasn’t come. Or you don’t like what God has brought into your life: lots of disappointment, lots of frustration. Or maybe you look at all the wickedness in the world, and you fear ...read more

    We are not ashamed to tell anyone that we believe the Bible is unmistakably the revealed manifestation of God’s inspired Word.

    “A BIBLE BELIEVING CHURCH” ACTS 2:37-42 - When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you ...read more

    The thorns of life are many, but the grace of God is sufficient in our weakness.

    Text: “…a thorn in the flesh was given to me…” (2 Corinthians 12:7) What is a thorn? The American Heritage Dictionary says that a thorn is a modified branch in the form of a sharp, woody spine. It can cause sharp pain, irritation, or discomfort. How many of you have ever been struck by a ...read more

    The kingdom begins with us, what will we choose to do with the Good News about the kingdom, which soil will we choose to be?

    What comes to your mind when I say the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God (since they are used interchangeably in the gospels)? [Allow the congregation to give their input]. Perhaps pearly gates, gold streets, the throne room of God himself? Most of our thoughts of the kingdom revolve ...read more

    Bramble For President!

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,630 views

    The politician who sells out to special interests and who has no regard for life is not worthy of our loyalty. We need to get involved in the political process with a servant mentality.

    We have here in our church a long-standing tradition of the separation of church and state. We do not get involved in partisan politics. We do not support candidates, we do not give platforms to those running for political office. This sets us off from some other churches, where it is not at all ...read more

    We are often hesitant about launching out on new ventures even when we are sure God is saying "Go!"

    Years ago, on a dangerous sea coast where shipwrecks often occurred prior to advanced navigation aids, there was a little life-saving station. The building was just a hut and they had only one boat, but the few devoted members kept a constant watch over the sea. When there was word of a ...read more

    In Romans 9-11 Paul took the opportunity to address the thorny question of the Jews and their rejection of the gospel. • He expresses his heart for the Jewish people. He hopes they will understand the salvation of God and be saved, and yet knowing that many would reject the Messiah. This does not ...read more
