    Today is Pentecost, & hardly anyone realizes it. Yet, this day is important, because Pentecost is the birthday of the Church, & God has given us the wonderful opportunity of being a part of it.

    Today is Pentecost, & hardly anyone realizes it. Yet, this day is important, because Pentecost is the birthday of the Church, & God has given us the wonderful opportunity of being a part of it. Isaiah 26:20-21 20 Go, my people, enter your rooms and shut the doors behind you; hide ...read more

    Is It Time To Reboot?

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 4, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,163 views

    Today our lesson challenges us about our priorities in life – It asks the questions: “Do we still trust God today?” “Do we have Him in His proper place in our life?” “Do we still trust God in a pandemic?’ But do we really? Is God in 1st place on our priority list today?

    What reboot means? To reboot is to reload the operating system of a computer: to start it up again. Booting is starting a computer's operating system, so rebooting is to start it for a second or third time. ... Rebooting allows the computer to restart and get back to working normally. After a ...read more

    It Is Time For Renewal

    The world is going through dark times, yet we see people standing together as bright torches shining through the blackest night. Others in great suffering cannot keep their faith and kneel to the ground in discouragement, let us renew our minds, take courage, share our faith and keep working.

    Hag 2:1 in the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, 2 "Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 ...read more

    Called For Such A Time Series

    While we are thankful for the blessings associated with our relationship with Christ, we know living the Christian life is difficult at best. Life is not without adversity, but the Lord's provision and guidance are sufficient. He has brought us to this place in life for such a time as this.

    Called for such a Time Esther 4: 10-17 The entire fourth chapter of Esther deals with her reaction to the decree signed by Ahasuerus regarding the Jews and the conversation she had with Mordecai concerning this disturbing plan. Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

    New Year's: Kairos (God’s time) vs. kronos (the devil’s time). Kairos looks for what God is getting ready to do in the present moment; but kronos is a distraction that keeps people from using their lives - and time - wisely for the Lord.

    To begin our message, I want to point out a couple of concerns we often hear expressed by pastors and church leaders, which are: 1.) Christians rarely share their faith, and 2.) Christians are not going to church as often as they once did. If these concerns are legitimate – which I believe they are ...read more

    What are some specific circumstances that signal oppression by a government? And, as believers, what should be our first course of action, and when should we speak the truth?

    In our last message in this series, I asked the following questions: “What would we, as believers, do if our country ever came under siege by a foreign nation that did not believe in God or His Son, Jesus Christ?” “How could we practice our Christian faith and live according to biblical principles ...read more

    This message looks at some tactics the enemy will use to discredit God's people. We can fight back through prayer. Daniel actually stood for his faith while on his knees in prayer.

    In our second message from this series, I mentioned how when we live according to biblical principles, working “as to the Lord and not to men” (Colossians 3:23), that we will receive God’s favor and be promoted to a place of prominence. I also cautioned that those who are favored by God are hated ...read more

    Daniel took it on himself to intercede for the entire nation. He was just one person; yet the Lord heard his prayer. God will intervene on behalf of the few who fear His name and seek His face.

    In our message today, we’re going to view Daniel’s prayer of repentance for the nation of Israel. Donald S. Whitney says of prayer, that God “expects us to pray just as a general expects to hear from his soldiers in the battle” and that “prayer is a walkie-talkie for warfare, not a domestic ...read more

    Discerning The Times

    Why is it important to use discernment.

    Discerning the Times Luke 12:49-56 The Revised Common Lectionary sometimes has a very awkward passage selection. In this case, the passage begins in the middle of a discourse by Jesus. If one has not read the previous portion of the discourse, one might not understand this passage as one ought. ...read more

    Moreover, it came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, that all the hosts of the Lord left the land of Egypt. It was 430 years to the day, after they had entered the land of Egypt, that the armies of the Lord came out from Egypt in excellent order, as if in a military formation.

    Exodus 12:41-42. The Time of Their Sojourning. 41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on the fifteenth of Nisan even the same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 42It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for ...read more

    This Is No Time For Sleeping

     | 30,134 views

    The Christian life is a walk, it's a run, but never forget... it is a fight, and the warfare is real, and we get tired, but we cannot go to sleep. A sleeping saint is a powerless saint and is no threat to the devil.

    1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. [6] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. [7] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken ...read more

    When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, He went to the Temple and looked around. When Jesus visited the Temple the next day, He saw some things that He didn’t like and gives us insight on the church today. They knew Jesus was in town and yet it changed nothing!

    Luke 19:45-48 IN TIMES LIKE THESE April 3, 2022 Intro: Just the day before, Jesus had presented Himself to the people in Jerusalem, as their King and as their Messiah, in fulfillment of Zechariah 9:9. “Thy King is coming… riding on a donkey.” The people praised Jesus ...read more

    The Book of Colossians covers some very important topics. None are more important than what we are going to cover in this passage of scripture. This passage of scripture has a great deal to say about PRAYER.

    Many of the things we hear today about PRAYER, have to do with the fact that prayer is a No! No! For example, Carolyn Copeland gives us this story in the Christian Reader. - The daughter of our pastor was asked to give the closing prayer at her high school graduation. A Jewish student was asked to ...read more

    Have you ever thought about your "moments in time" and how once you have completed them they are over. This year-end/New Year's message looks at our choices and the time we lose that we will never get back.

    Faith in Time Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: Matthew 6:24; 33; Philippians 4:13; 19 If I were to ask you “What time is it?” all of you would check your watch or phone to tell me the time. If I were to ask you “What season is it?” many of you would wonder what is going on in my head that I would ...read more

    God has promised us a new creation and empowers us to live it in the here and now, as it has already been purchased for us through Jesus’ death on the cross.

    Years ago (in fact it was the first summer after we were married), Karen and I decided that we would spend our summer vacation visiting her relatives and my birthplace here in Nova Scotia. We didn’t have a large salary between us, and we were young and adventuresome, so we decided that it would be ...read more
