    Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.”(Proverbs 19:21)

    Imagine God were to write a book about your life. With God as author, this biography would be totally truthful, accurately written. What sort of story would it be? Imagine God had a library of such books. Would He gladly place the volume bearing your name in a place of honours? Do you care what He ...read more

    What's Love Got To Do With It? (Part Two) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 3, 2016
     | 6,395 views

    Last week I asked what love had to do with salvation, my relationship with God, my relationship with others and lastly, I asked what love had to do with my service for God. Today I’ll be focusing on what love has to do with various relationships in life.

    WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? (Part two) Last week I asked what love had to do in some areas of our lives. First was salvation. Sending Jesus was how God showed his love for us. He was willing to let go of his Son and watch him get abused and mistreated and die-physically and spiritually-so ...read more

    Everyone needs a friend. What should we look for in a friend?

    There is nothing quite as special as a good friend. A good friend is one with whom you can talk about anything. You know they will listen. They will listen to the whole story rather than make quick judgments. They will make time for you. A true friend transcends times of separation. Several weeks ...read more

    When Jesus resurrected the first person he appeared to was Mary Magdalene. We might be familiar with that and the appearance to his disciples, but there was another one between Mary and the Apostles. Let's look at Jesus' encounter with the two on the road to Emmaus.

    WALKING WITH THE RESURRECTED JESUS Luke 24:13-35 When Jesus resurrected the first person he appeared to was Mary Magdalene, who thought he was the gardener at first.

    As God looks America, I look at how He dealt with Nineveh. He is slow to anger . . . but God does get there, America.

    July 15 2012 A In the ANE Nineveh was the capital city of the Assyrian Empire (modern day Iraq.) 1 The city was a wicked city, full of sinful people who practiced all kinds of sin. a This was a pagan, secular, lost city whom had never known of the Living God of Israel. aa The city was great ...read more

    Should one remain married to an unbeliever? Is divorce okay?

    Introduction We come to yet another emotional topic – marriage to an unbeliever. Though it should be evident to every Christian that one ought not to enter into such a relationship, nevertheless some do. Some get married believing, or rather making themselves believe, that their loved one ...read more

    For the person who is willing to honestly examine the evidence, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the best evidence for the truth of scripture. This sermon deals with the common objections to the resurrection

    Many people ask if there is one ultimate evidence or proof for God. Is there one proof that explains: -Why Christians believe in God -Why Christians believe that God created the world -Why Christians believe the bible as we have it is the word of God -Why Christians believe that all of the men who ...read more

    Humility Of Christ

     | 986 views

    In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

    Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

    A Resurrected Greeting

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 10, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,253 views

    Taking our teaching from Romans 6:4, we’ll be looking at the basis of our greeting one another during this time and what the resurrection proves and guarantees, and some of the evidence to prove the resurrection beyond a shadow of a doubt. Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

    A Resurrected Greeting Romans 6:4 America is one of the few countries where the customary greeting for Easter has absolutely no connection to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What we hear is “Happy Easter.” But this is not how the church has greeted one another in times past. The early church ...read more

    Sermon # 36 - Learning To Forgive Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 20, 2024
     | 497 views

    Jonah was happy to receive God’s forgiveness for his disobedience, but was unhappy when God did the same for the people of Nineveh who repented of their sins. Jesus paid with his life for our forgiveness, and God expects us to extend this same forgiveness to those who wrong us in any way.

    For our meditation we will study Jonah 4:1, “Jonah was very unhappy about this and became angry.” (GNB) When the prophet Jonah preached to the people in the city of Nineveh, they took his words seriously, repented, and had a change of heart. God relented from punishing the people of Nineveh, and ...read more

    The brief account of the widow’s oil illustrates God’s blessing of those who are faithful to His word. God provides a means of income for the widow and her family, using things she has on hand, along with the charity of people around them.

    God Provides in Difficult Times A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves.” So Elisha said to her, “What ...read more

    This Sunday in our series, “Parables to Live By,” our of Luke’s gospel, we’ll be looking at the Parable of “The Friend at Midnight,” whose overarching theme is about prayer and our knocking on Heaven’s door for God to hear our plea.

    In this sermon I want to begin with this parable that I just read to you called the Grood Samaritan.

    We need to look at some historical events before we get deeper into this parable. This parable is only included in the book of Luke. There is a reason for that. Why? Luke was a Gentile in the Jewish religion. Matthew and Mark, and John were Jews, and they did not include this parable? ...read more
