    Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,543 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

    Crying In The Wilderness

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 17, 2023
     | 1,229 views

    If we don’t live the Gospel, how will people believe that Christ also lives? People must see that we are real, before they will believe that Jesus is.

    I expect most of you know by now that we have a homegrown preacher next week. Our newest deacon, Drew Johnson, is going to be my sub on December 26 while I’m off basking in sunny Minneapolis. He’s been up here before, of course: many of you remember when he was a shepherd in our Christmas pageant a ...read more

    Being A Faithful Servant

    Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Feb 8, 2024
     | 2,695 views

    It is not easy being a faithful follower of Jesus and oftentimes we are tempted to throw in the towel and call it quits. Elisha is a role model of what it means to stay committed and faithful to the very end.

    I hope you are excited to be in Church today to worship and hear the word of God. I don't know if it is the weather or something else but I have to say that once in a while, I get the impression that this is more of a routine than real worship that lacks enthusiasm. It reminds me of a certain ...read more

    When There Is A Spiritual Battle Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Apr 23, 2020
     | 5,379 views

    In the mighty strength of the Lord we are equipped as wrestler-soldiers to stand in the spiritual battle. We will stand firm against all the schemes of the devil and the combined evil forces of the spiritual realm.

    Jesus Is Still Sovereign Ephesians 6:10-13 When There Is A Spiritual Battle In the garden of Eden there was perfection. God created and it was very good. Adam and Eve are walking with God in the cool of the evening. But someone is watching and scheming. The serpent who was more crafty than any ...read more

    Lesson #8: To Become A Merciful And Faithful High Priest Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 30, 2019
     | 3,001 views

    The element of solidarity: the champion emerges out of the people; he can represent them only because he is one of them. Similarly, the high priest is chosen from among the people; he can represent them effectively only because He enjoys solidarity with the people.

    6/17/19 Tom Lowe Lesson #8: TO BECOME A MERCIFUL AND FAITHFUL HIGH PRIEST (HEBREWS 2:17-18) Scripture: Hebrews 2:17-18 (NIV) 17 For this reason he had to be made like them, fully human in every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and ...read more

    Zacchaeus, Come Down!

     | 8,789 views

    This is more than a cute little Vacation Bible Schools story.

    Zacchaeus, Come Down! Luke 19:1-10 Introduction Many of us can remember the Vacation Bible School song about Zacchaeus. “Zacchaeus was a wee little man, a wee little man was he.” We remember that the song tells us that he climbed up into a sycamore tree “for the Lord he wanted to see”. We also ...read more

    Proofs The Tower Of Babel Account Is True Series

    Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 2, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,726 views

    Skeptics have scoffed at the account of the Tower of Babel calling it a myth or a "nonsensical legend." Is that true? There are now four areas of history and science that confirm the reality of the Tower of Babel. The Bible is true after all!

    PROOFS THE TOWER OF BABEL ACCOUNT IS TRUE Gen. 11:1-9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Husbands & Wives don’t speak same language! 1. Peter was reading an article out loud to his wife. “Did you know that women use about 30,000 words a day, whereas men only use 15,000 words?” 2. Victoria replied, “The ...read more

    The Reach Of God's Grace Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Feb 19, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,695 views

    We see God reaching out to a foreigner and leading him to faith in Himself. This is the goodness and grace of God. It cannot be earned or be bought.

    God’s grace goes international. Let’s read 2 Kings 5:1-19. God remembers His own and cares for His own, but His own does not mean only the people of Israel. • It refers ultimately to everyone who is willing to acknowledge God, believe and worship Him, as the one and only true God. • So God’s ...read more

    Jesus' return is imminent but He is patiently awaiting the fullness of those whom will be saved.

    CONTINUING THE THOUGHT. Last week we spent our time together considering the reality of Jesus’ Second Coming and Power to Judge sin and sinners especially in light of the false teachers who were denying such among the Church that Peter was writing to. The false teachers denied Jesus’ ...read more

    Authority In The Synagogue Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Mar 1, 2017
     | 12,005 views

    Jesus possesses great wisdom and authority regarding the Word, and He also possesses authority over all creation, humanity, and Satan himself. We face nothing our Lord cannot handle. His power and authority are unmatched and unlimited.

    Authority in the Synagogue Mark 1: 21-28 As we continue moving through the Gospel of Mark, bear in mind that he is writing primarily to a Roman audience, seeking to portray Jesus as the Servant of Men. It is a dialogue that moves rapidly from one event to the next. The fast pace, with which Mark ...read more

    The Epiphany And All It Characters, The Full Story.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,070 views

    The Epiphany is all about the divinity of Jesus being revealed to the world; but not everyone like this news. This is a very interesting story with a variety of characters: eg. compare the characters of Jesus with Herod.

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s, Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 8th January 2012; St Oswald’s is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries. The readings for today are: Isaiah 60:1-6 Ephesians 3:1-12 Matthew 2:1-12 Psalm ...read more

    I Hate My Marriage And How To Get Out! - Pt. 2 - Steppin' Out Series

    Contributed by Steve Ely on Apr 26, 2018
     | 3,719 views

    White picket fences. 3 cars. 2 1/2 kids. A dog. Perfection. That is what we all think our relationship will be. We place ourselves in every romance movie we have ever seen. In our minds we expect no problems, no pain , no tears, no fears and no reality!

    Pt. 2 - Steppin' Out I. Introduction It's a nice day for a white wedding! He had hand picked her. Unlikely couple to say the least. The preacher and the prostitute. Sounds like a movie title you would be likely to avoid doesn’t it? Directed by God, Hosea selects a prostitute by the name of Gomer ...read more

    “Imitators of Christ” Philippians 2:1-10 A mother was making breakfast for her two little boys—Kevin and Ryan.

    Beggar(S)

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Aug 30, 2017

     | 10,951 views

    When Martin Luther died, they found a piece of paper in his pocket that read: "This is true. We are beggars." He is right. Before God, we are beggars, like the Canaanite woman.

    There is something about a sibling that can bring out the worst in us. We might not mind losing, but when it is to a brother or sister, then it’s an entirely different story. We might become more competitive than we normally are. Our patience can seem to be even less with them. They also seem ...read more

    Prayer is a sign of a relationship and trust in the Lord's love

    This week we begin a summer series entitled, Tell Me A Story. “Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. Storytelling forges connections among people, between people and ideas, and they ...read more
