    Money Worries: Figuring Up How Effective Worry Is Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 7, 2014
     | 2,779 views

    A look at the ineffectiveness of worry - we do it despite the fact that it brings about no positive result.

    A COMMON WORRY EXCUSE: Many people worry because “at least I’m doing something.” - Some people feel guilty if they’re not worrying. Somehow worry is a sign to them of being a good parent or friend. - They would probably begrudgingly admit that’s it’s not the ...read more

    Be Transformed, Be Different!

    Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on Jan 14, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,935 views

    What does it take to change and live for Jesus, what does it take to move from belief in the Messiah to a follower of the Messiah. It takes transformation and it starts in your head. Do you dare to be different?

    Different the sermon. Romans 12:1-3 Different now there’s an interesting word. What do we think about people who are different? Now he’s a bit different eats bugs, wears strange clothes and lives in the scrub. Did you hear about the bloke who saved a ship load of people by ...read more

    How What We Know Impacts How God Judges Us Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 20, 2014
     | 3,040 views

    A look at our how our judgment is partially dependent on how much we knew, whether we're a Christian or non-Christian.

    MORE THAN HEARING: How much we’ve heard impacts how much God expects of us. - 1 Timothy 1:13. - Verse 13 brings out an interesting phrase: “because I acted in ignorance and unbelief.” - Paul there acknowledges that part of God’s great mercy to him was prefaced on his lack ...read more

    A Parable Of Chutzpah

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on May 3, 2015
     | 3,382 views

    We need to approach prayer with a sense of bold, unhesitating urgency--with chutzpah. We have no worries--unlike the grumpy, groggy neighbor, God never slumbers and is always happy to hear from us.

    Jesus gave His disciples the Model Prayer, and followed with a story about someone in need of “daily bread,” a parable that conveys the attitude our prayers should have—we should approach God an unhesitating sense of urgency. The story was a common situation for our Lord’s ...read more

    Through The Dark Valley Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Dec 13, 2011
     | 6,680 views

    This is the fifth message in a series that takes a fresh look at Psalm twenty-three. This message examines how the Lord leads us through the dark valleys.

    If you would, I would like you to give this question some serious thought. “What was the lowest point in your life?” That time when the light at the end of the tunnel turned out to be an oncoming train. You prayed and it seemed that those prayers never made it past the ceiling. You so ...read more

    How Much Is That Doggy In The Window? Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Feb 2, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,674 views

    This message is from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    In 1952 Patti Page recorded a song written Bob Merrill that asked this question, “How much is that doggy in the window?” The lyrics of the song are quite catchy and the little arf, arf scattered throughout the song is quite cute. However, when examined closely the lyrics reflect an ...read more

    In the Scripture passage for this sermon Jesus was explaining the strange and mysterious way in which the Kingdom of God was arriving in people’s hearts.

    Luke 8:1-15 “What’s the Buzz? Tell Me Whats a Happening” We live in dark times, and yet You and I have something which the darkness cannot overcome. At the same time, we are surrounded by flesh and blood persons just like ourselves who are mourning, who feel they are losing ...read more

    The Waiting Room “Find Rest” Last week we began a series titled the Waiting Room with the purpose of discovering what God reveals to us in these moments of waiting. I want to thank all of you who told me my waiting room story was nothing… Romans 8:28 (NIV) And we know that in ...read more

    The importance of gratitude and humility.

    We all know about the good Samaritan, but how many of us have heard of the grateful Samaritan? We are going to meet him today, but firstly I want to tell you about my friend Allen. Allen was quite different from most people. To have called him unconventional would have been an understatement, and ...read more

    Putting Faith To The Test

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 3, 2016
     | 9,133 views

    Are you willing to go where God sends you and speak and act in his name? It all boils down to a matter of trust.

    Have you ever had an occasion where you thought that your faith was being tested, especially in unusual circumstances? If so, you’re not alone. Sometimes God uses unusual circumstances to test a person’s faith. For example, in 1 Kings 17:8-24 he told Elijah to go to an unlikely ...read more

    How To Talk To God

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jul 24, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,981 views

    "Lord, teach us to pray." In response, Jesus gives his disciples and us the model prayer, the "Our Father" or "Lord's Prayer." He continues with strong teaching to be persistent, knowing that God loves us more than we love our own children.

    Luke 11:1-13 How to Talk to God “Chaplain, will you teach me how to pray?” I remember that question like it was yesterday, even though it must have been at least a couple of years ago. It came from a Veteran on our inpatient mental health unit. I marveled at the time how simple and yet ...read more

    Sermon about doubt, and not recognising Jesus

    When I was a child, I was allowed to walk to and from school on my own as soon as I could safely cross the road, and from quite an early age, I was pretty much allowed to disappear all afternoon during weekends, just so long as I was home by dinner time. Now I am not suggesting the world was a ...read more

    Two Post Resurrection Appearances Of Jesus In Jn 20

     | 7,058 views

    God treats us an individuals and knows our specific needs just as he did with MAry, Peter and Thomas and the unnamed disciples of Jn 20

    Story: There were once two identical twins. They were alike in every way but one. One was a hope-filled optimist, Peter who only ever saw the bright side of life. The other, Thomas was a dark pessimist, who only ever saw the down side in every situation. The parents were so worried about the ...read more
