Sermon # 7 - Our Life's Purpose Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Mar 21, 2025

We were created in the image of God, to reflect His characteristics and to fulfill His purposes. Those who put their trust in Jesus become sons and daughters of God and to such God will reveal His plans, so we can live meaningful and purpose-filled lives here on earth.

We read in Genesis 6:6, And the LORD regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart. (ESV) God’s divine plan when He first created man was unfathomable, until man disobeyed, and went against this awesome purpose which God ordained. Not only did this leave God with ...read more

Mission Possible

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 24, 2023

Peter could only do the impossible as long as he focused on Jesus instead of on his surroundings.

As sometimes happens, this sermon took a turn I had not expected once I really got into it. Not a very big one, mind you, but I would up focusing on the gospel lesson instead of Paul’s letter to the Galatians. I do like, when I can, to tie the three lessons together, and these three seemed to be ...read more

The Resurrection Body Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

Paul is writing this greatest of all chapters on the resurrection because of the questions of the Corinthians. Some of them were very strange questions. The saying is, there is no such thing as a foolish question, and that holds true even though Paul begins by calling their question foolish.

One of the strangest articles I have ever heard of was the one titled Who Ate Roger Williams. This great fighter for religious liberty, and the founder of the first Baptist church in America in Providence, R.I., died and was buried in a very insecure casket. The result was an apple tree broke ...read more
