03 - Life Series

Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 23, 2021

This is the 3rd message in a series called Perspectives and this message is about looking at life with God's perspective, rather than with our own.

Hello and welcome back to another message on ‘Perspectives!’ This is the third message, and today I am dealing with the topic of ‘life’ itself.

I Am The Vine, You Are The Branches Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 5, 2021

When we are joined to Christ the true vine, we are powerfully connected to his Spirit and his vitality. By faith, we can share in Jesus’s righteous life and his atoning death. It is through his death and resurrection that the branches begin to flourish and bear much fruit.

When we take the time to look at trees, we get a beautiful reminder of how they sustain the life of their branches and leaves. Some of these trees are also able to produce a harvest of fruit that we can enjoy. Scripture talks about this too, the importance of the link from a leaf or branch to the ...read more

When God Calls Your Name: Abraham Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021

How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

Sabbath Rest Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 16, 2021

Labor Day: The word "sabbath" has something to do with "rest." But like the word “sabbath,” the word “rest” has become lost in American society. This message brings awareness to a forgotten and important spiritual principle.

This morning we are going to take a look at “Sabbath Rest,” and try to understand what it is. The word “sabbath” seems so foreign to us today, and whenever we hear the word we tend to think of Sundays or going to church; however, that’s not entirely what sabbath is about. In the Bible the sabbath ...read more
