What Is Christmas?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 5, 2022

With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. The Christmas story is the story of the virgin birth. It is a story of spiritual warfare. It is the story of Salvation.

With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. Many people in the world today argue that Jesus wasn't really born on December 25th and that we are foolish to say that He was. First of ...read more

The True Gift Of Christmas

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 8, 2022

Christmas is the celebration of a Child. Christ coming to Earth was not to establish the economic madness we call Christmas. It was to crush the head of that old serpent, Satan. It was to break the chains that enslave you. It was the fulfillment of the promise God made in the book of Genesis.

Isaiah 9:6-7, "For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne ...read more

The Seed Of Christmas

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 12, 2022

If you leave the Christmas story in Matthew and Luke, you do not recognize how long God was planning and preparing and moving all of the pieces of the world in order for us to receive the greatest gift that has ever been given to man, which is Jesus Christ, His Son.

We often sell ourselves short when we say to each other simple clichés, like, "Jesus is the reason for the season". Now, I'm not shaming anybody who's used it because it works at this time of year. But the reality of it is, is Jesus is not the reason for the season. Jesus is ...read more

Where It All Began

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 14, 2022

The Christmas story is one of love, grace, mercy and blessing. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, born of a virgin, laid in a manger, wrapped in swaddling clothes, declared by angels and a new star as being born. Jesus Christ is born! The Gospel has come at last!

Before I get into this message today, I want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read the sermons God has laid on my heart to share with all of you all over the world. God has opened this door to me and has sent me here to preach His Gospel to all the world. Thank you for taking the time to ...read more

Return Of The King Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Mar 11, 2013

Do you contemplate the love of the Lord for you? Do you thinkabout him as the King of the earth and the King of your heart? In these psalms, catch a vision for what it will be like when Jesus rules.

Psalm 47 is about declaring how wonderful our king really is. 1 – 4 Verse 1 is the source of a well-known chorus (in the New King James version). Clapping of hands was a sign of enthusiastic celebration (2 Kings 11:12, Isaiah 55:12). I picture the king coming into the palace as His ...read more

The Wedding Model Of Communion

Contributed by Dale London on Jun 1, 2022

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus keeps returning to the model of marriage to describe our relationship with God. We often miss is the significance of our covenant of betrothal to Christ as solemnised in the Lord's Supper.

Many of you will have noted how I keep coming back to the subject of covenant when we come together for communion; that when we share the cup – even figuratively – we are reaffirming an agreement we have with God. The agreement is that we accept the gift of Christ’s death on the cross as atonement ...read more

We Have Been Delilvered

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 11, 2021

In our text today from Romans chapter seven, there is a reference to marriage. But the purpose of the reference is to point to a spiritual truth about our freedom from the requirements of the Law as a means to approach God..

Jesus The Bridegroom

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Nov 9, 2024

We don't talk enough about Jesus the bridegroom. It's one of Jesus' most wonderful titles. It helps us to understand who he is, the kind of relationship he wants with us, and who we are.

Some of us have been Christians for a long time and we’ve heard that Jesus is sometimes called the bridegroom. But perhaps some of us have never heard this title of Jesus. I don’t think churches talk about it often enough. It’s one of the most important and wonderful titles of Jesus. When we ...read more

10 Reasons To Be A Faithful Committed Church Member

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 3, 2024

How does Jesus picture His Church? A Church trying to “hold on?" Intimidated?Struggling with worldliness? Struggling to stay alive? NO! Rather, a Victorious Conquering Church!

A first-person narrative on the Parable of the Ten Virgins.

Your pastor thought of giving me a name like Marsha or Morgan but it’s better that you just remember me as “moron” for that is what Jesus called me and that is what I am. Because of my short-sightedness and sloppy preparation I wound up missing a scrumptious wedding banquet. You ...read more

In weddings today, you can depend on something going wrong almost every time!

Every young girl has this deep wonderful desire to have the perfect wedding. I do not want to crush these desires for these young ladies, but I do not believe there is such a thing as a perfect wedding.

Correct Yourself, Before You Wreck Yourself! Series

Contributed by Harold Laubach Jr on Feb 9, 2013

THis sermon is about the parable of the ten virgins in Matthew 25:1-13. It is about not knowing the day or the hour of Christ's return and being prepared for that day. it is a reminder of Correctness, Committment and Companions.

This parable of Christ seems to be pretty simple. Even though there doesn’t seem to be much hidden meaning here, somehow, most of humanity seems to ignore it completely. What I mean is, the lesson may be simple, but the action we are called to, seems to be hard for many people. Is it ...read more

The Promise Of Mary’s Miracle

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 7, 2015

The marks of greatness in God’s sight are the same marks of greatness that Jesus showed us-humility, self-sacrifice, total dependence on God and total obedience even unto death. The only place of honour in God’s kingdom is the place of service.

Do you believe in miracles? Well, I certainly do, because earlier this year I saw God work a miracle in the life of my mother. One night she had to be rushed to the hospital by ambulance because of breathing problems. I followed the ambulance in my own car. After several tests and x-rays, the ...read more
