     | 472 views

    John, while in prison, sent representatives to Jesus to ascertain whether or not he is the one - Jesus provided proof and then affirmed John’s ministry, sinners repented, Pharisees rejected/scoffed, Jesus confronted the finicky faith of the generation

    During World War II, a congregation in London faced bombings nightly. In the midst of fear, their pastor encouraged them to gather for prayer. One night, after a particularly intense bombing, he found a soldier praying with fervor. When asked why he prayed amidst such chaos, the soldier replied, ...read more

     | 513 views

    A sermon on worship - on both connecting with the past, and on intimacy with God.

    In the 1960s something beautiful happened in the Roman Catholic Church. It was called the Second Vatican Council In it they suddenly decided to do almost all the things we Anglicans had been begging them to do for 500 years. I talked to you last week about the Anglo-Catholic revival in the Church ...read more

    Colossians The Promise Of Baptism Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 10, 2025
     | 556 views

    As Paul takes the Colossians back to the elementary principles of their faith, he takes time to remind them of when and why they were baptized.

    Baptism. Before I was baptized, I never really thought about baptism. My family was nominally Baptist, that is, as I’ve explained before, the local Baptist church was the church we didn’t go to when we didn’t go to church. So, when we lived in Lower Lincoln, outside of Fredericton, we didn’t go ...read more

    This Could Be The Year (2026) Of The Lord’s Coming

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2025
     | 835 views

    I title this sermon “This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s Coming.” Please notice, I did not foolishly say “This would be the year the Lord is coming back for His church.” But I did say, This Could Be the Year of The Lord’s coming back for His Church.

    Text: The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:36, “But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” But it is obvious today that the lost world is not looking for Christ to return anytime soon. HOW DO WE KNOW THAT? Because they would not be living like ...read more

    No Longer Hiding: From Shame To Belonging

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 20, 2026
     | 53 views

    The gospel restores belonging before behavior, covering shame with presence so hiding loses its necessity and transformation grows from safety.

    Most of us think we know what the problem is. We think the problem is sin. Or disobedience. Or failure. Or a lack of discipline. Or not trying hard enough. Scripture does not ignore them. Very early in the biblical story—before commandments, before systems, before religion is fully formed—the ...read more

    10,000 Bricks: Everyone Has A Part Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Jan 21, 2026
     | 67 views

    Join in what God is doing and work for Him, building His kingdom. Stoop, submit, and serve. Faithfulness to God starts in areas that we might think are “the little things.”

    Courage

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 26, 2026
     | 135 views

    Christian courage is essential to faith; in fact, the Bible says we cannot enter heaven without it. This sermon reviews why courage is so important, and how we can strengthen our courage to obey God.

    This morning, I’d like us to think about Christian character. And specifically, a Christian virtue that we don’t usually hear much about from the pulpit. It’s mentioned only eight times in the New Testament, but it’s critically important, for at least two reasons. First of all, it’s important ...read more

    A Simple Metaphor Jesus Uses That Is Surprisingly Complicated Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jan 27, 2026
     | 40 views

    Jesus speaks here about "salt." It seems a simple word picture but it's more complicated than it first appears. What is Jesus trying to teach us here?

    - I’m going to take a deep dive into the words of Jesus here about salt. - At one level, this seems a simple metaphor. But I have long been frustrated that the actual words used here create some confusion. I leave with more questions than answers. Thus, I want to use this as an opportunity to dig ...read more

    We don't hear the word covet a lot this days, but being greedy is pretty close. This message looks at why we shouldn't be greedy.

    A Sunday school teacher was asking her class if anyone knew what the Tenth Commandment was, to which a little boy responded, “You must not take the covers off your neighbour’s wife.” Pretty close. Well, here we are—the last week of our series, A Return to Civility. When we started the series in ...read more

We learned: (1) The importance of the baptism in the Spirit to equip the believer for service. Acts 1:8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has ...read more
