    In this message, we will see how the birth announcement of the King of Kings wasn’t delivered to the rich or royal, but it was instead delivered in the least expected place. It was delivered to some lowly shepherds.

    When people send out baby shower invitations, they primarily mail them to family and friends. I once saw a really funny movie, a comedy, where a couple sent out fake shower announcements when they weren’t really going to have a baby. They were in debt and needed some money to pay off their bills, ...read more

    Philip leaves a place of spiritual revival to venture into a desert, seemingly barren of life. Yet, it is here that he encounters an individual chosen by God to receive His word. This narrative explores the theme of finding faith in unexpected places and the divine guidance that leads us there.

    Today, we will explore the fascinating account of the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch, as recorded in the book of Acts. This story highlights the work of the Holy Spirit, the power of God's Word, and the role of a faithful servant in leading someone to faith in Jesus Christ. Philip's Divine ...read more

    That's what the Christmas event is all about - God showing up in the midst of the unexpected.

    God Helps Those That Help Themselves

    God helps those that help themselves. We have to help ourselves; first we must repent of our sins; second we have to cleanse our hearts and begin following Jesus. I am sure that all of us here would like to receive the blessings that God has for us, but

    I was speaking to someone the other day at work, and he said something to me that left me thinking. He said, “it is just as the bible says, God helps those that help themselves”. Has anyone here ever heard that expression? I can say that I have heard it on numerous occasions, but ...read more

    The “little ones” Jesus refers to are frequently the scapegoats or victims in our society. They are the powerless, the weak, the hurting, the abused, the abandoned, the elderly or children, and they are often the easiest targets for our wrath.

    A successful man known for his generosity was driving his new car through a poor part of town. A boy tried to flag him down. The man didn’t want to get involved, so he pretended he didn’t see the child. As he slowed for a red traffic light, he heard a loud crash. Someone had thrown a ...read more

    Things are not what they seem to. It's not what I expected.

    As we look at our story, we see that John had been in the desert disciplining himself waiting for this special moment. And when the Word of God came to him, he came out of the desert preaching up a storm. And let me drop something in your spirit early this morning and that is whenever those who are ...read more

    This sermon is about being surprised by tbd unexpected things much like Jesus seems to have surprised John the Baptist.

    IS THIS A CURVE BALL? Text: Matthew 11:2-11 I read about someone’s recollection of a performance that he (Tom Wright) had been rehearsing for on stage at an earlier time in his life. He mentions that all had been going according to plan most of the time. “We had all rehearsed ...read more

    Encountering The Gospel Of Jesus Christ At The Most Unexpected Time And In The Most Unexpected Place. Series

    We preach The Gospel Of Jesus and we live The Gospel Of Jesus, and because of who we are we can do both even when we don't realise it.

    Last week I preached about the two men who encountered Jesus as a stranger on the road to Emmaus, and how we too can encounter Him in the most unexpected place and at the most unexpected time. It seems to me though that something else unexpected also happened that day. The two men, both disciples ...read more

    What happens when you sin? Legalism tells us to look down on that brother because they "failed." But in Galatians, Paul gives us a new way to help those who have fallen.

    We left off last week by comparing the acts of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit. Though we all want the latter, we often act in the former. Finding freedom from legalism and the condemnation it brings doesn’t mean you immediately cease from sin. Our goal is still to be like Christ - and we ...read more
