We Are The Church Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Jun 11, 2018

In the Bible “church” is by definition either all of the disciples of Jesus Christ or a specific group of believers. In 1 Timothy chapter 5, The Apostle Paul describes the church as people dedicated to doing whatever it takes to reach out and help others

We continue in our series Hope Found Here, and this month our focus is on Hope in the Church. Many people associate the word “church” with a building. Often something old, draughty, with uncomfortable wooden pews and a smell of damp. I have spoken to people in Ashingdon and Rayleigh who did not ...read more

We Are Family Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

There's something about families. Our families can be the source of the greatest joy and deepest heartaches. There's more emotion attached to our families than any other unit in society. And Jesus had some revolutionary things to say about family.

INTRODUCTION Over the years, it’s been my joy to officiate more than 500 weddings. Sometimes funny things happen at weddings. I’ve had a groom who passed out not once, but three times during the ceremony. I’ve had several groomsmen pass out—but never a bride or a bridesmaid. And they call females ...read more

Are We They?

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Jan 30, 2018

we are reminded that we must have a social conscience

May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you, my Lord and my Redeemer. We are taught in Deacons School that we are to always preach on the Gospel reading for a given Sunday, since one of those things exclusively reserved for Deacons is the proclaiming of the ...read more

We Are Loosed !

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Apr 8, 2017

This message will be a challenge for many because the church, in general, has become a place where the power of God does not exist.

Even though Jesus has purchased our complete redemption, Satan tries to make us feel as if we still belong to him. He brings us into situations that confuse us and takes our focus off of the deliverance that now belongs to us as children of God. Christians are often blind to the needs of others ...read more

We Are Gomer

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 6, 2015

James Montgomery Boice calls the enacted parable of Hosea and Gomer "the second greatest story in the Bible," a depiction of God's embracing, pardoning grace. In it we see that We are Gomer.

We enact a parable of grace every time we observe the Lord's Supper. Another living parable was dramatized by Hosea the prophet. He was told by God to marry a wayward women who would prove to be unfaithful. He did so, to depict God's grace. It was not unusual for God to ask His prophets to do ...read more

We Believe.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jan 6, 2023

We are free not on how we behave, but on how we believe. A works ooriented approach to freedom will always fail. Why? Because we are free, set free, not by how we behave, but what we believe!

We Believe. John 15:1-5NKJV We are free not on how we behave, but on how we believe. A works oriented approach to freedom will always fail. Why? Because we are free, set free, not by how we behave, but what we believe! Do you have definitive answers to what you believe? We need to fix ...read more

We Win!

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Mar 29, 2023

Satan, the tempter, the accuser, the lier, a thief, For temptation, primarily, satan uses 3 areas of the flesh: 1. The lust of the flesh. 2. The lust of the eye. 3. The pride of life.

We Win! Matthew 4:1-3 Bishop Fulton Sheen said, “Rivers follow the course of least resistance. That's why they are so crooked.” This I'm sure of, “We cannot afford to take the course of least resistance when it comes to temptation.” We have to follow the truth of scripture and our ...read more

If We Are But Willing

Contributed by The Rev Deniray Mueller on Apr 13, 2019

Jesus wants to gather us like a mother hen does her chicks

IF WE ARE BUT WILLING Luke 13:31-35 We have heard readings the last few weeks known at the ‘Travel or Journey Narratives’; chronicling Jesus’ movement throughout the country, headed to Jerusalem for his crucifixion. He is still in Galilee, and appears to have increasingly caught the attention of ...read more

We Are Family

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Nov 20, 2019

Brothers and sisters, we can experience the wonder of family or we can dismiss the moments of real love that comes with it. Let’s not let days like thanksgiving be the only time families gather around and share those special moments.

Brothers and sisters, last week we talked about being thankful for the things that we have, and for the life that we share. Well part of that life that we share is with family. AMEN Now, by family I don’t necessarily mean family by some blood DNA, but family as “God’s Family”. If you really ...read more

UNITY IN THE CHURCH November 24, 2019 Ephesians 4:4-6 I love this week! I get to cook and eat turkey! I get to allow tryptophan to work and make me sleepy.

Are We There Yet?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Sep 7, 2020

Gods Word never, let me say it again “GODS WORD NEVER EVER” stops completing its given assignment! Gods Word constantly is searching for and making itself available for meeting every need of His children!

Are we there yet? Most of us, spend our entire lives trying to get everyone to say yes to the things we want to do in life and from life. When were young we learn our parents strengths and weaknesses and how to manipulate, or play them against one another to get what we want. Some of us are ...read more
