    Deborah — Judge-Prophetess-Warrior

    Contributed by Dennis King on Nov 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,404 views

    The biblical Deborah could have rightly called herself—judge, prophetess, warrior, minstrel, or faithful follower of God—she chose to call herself a mother.

    The Biblical Deborah Deborah's biblical story is one of the few which featured female abilities and leadership. It is a wonderful example of how God can use any person who wants to be His servant. In fact, He even used people like Jonah who resist God at every turn, and John who argued with the ...read more

    Go! And Welcome Everyone: The Gospel Of Radical Hospitality Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 30, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 360 views

    The church is not called to be a museum of the like-minded—it is called to be a home for the broken, a family for the lonely, a refuge for the lost. And if that makes us uncomfortable—that’s the point!

    Go! And Welcome Everyone: The Gospel of Radical Hospitality Introduction – A Question That Opens the Door Let me start with a question: Who do you struggle to welcome? Is it the person who doesn’t fit your idea of “respectable”? The one who votes differently? Dresses differently? Worships ...read more

    Come Thirsty People

    This is a desperate call from a loving Father to come to him. There is a deep love in that call to get right with him and find him while he is still near.

    We do not have the time to go through all the verses this morning but please join me as we look at a couple of them. Vs.1 says: “Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.” That is like a call from ...read more

    Don't Be Side Tracked

    We are called not to speculate on when the Second Coming will occur. We are called to keep our eye on the ball and preach the Gospel to all nations and not to be star gazing

    SERMON: Mk 13:1-37 Advent is the time when we look forward to Jesus’s birth in Bethlehem. So is it not a little strange that the readings for the second Sunday before Advent, should be about Jesus’ second coming – a date in the future rather than to the events leading up his birth in ...read more

    Simon of Cyrene is on his way into Jerusalem when his plans are inconveniently changed when he is called upon to carry the cross of Jesus. The “silent witness” of Simon calls us to think about the ways Jesus uses the inconvenient moments of life to draw us closer to Himself.

    Message Silent Witnesses Mark 15:21 Simon Who Is Inconvenienced Even before Jesus is crucified He has faced a brutal ordeal. Looking at some verses in Mark 14 and 15 Mark 14:65 Some of the Sanhedrin began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, “Prophesy!” And ...read more

    Let The Light Shine Upon Us

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,205 views

    In the Anglican Church, we do not have altar calls, spelled “A-L-T-A-R”, but Jesus always issues an altar call, spelled “A-L-T-E-R”. He calls on us to change our lives for a better fit. He calls on us to change habits that drag us down.

    John 1:1-17 is John’s version of the nativity story. It doesn’t begin with shepherds and angels and a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger. John’s nativity story takes us back to the beginning of creation and time, and it echoes the creation story in Genesis. In ...read more
