Welcoming Sinners Series

Contributed by Wes Richard on Mar 26, 2007

The story of the adulterous woman helps us see that we should welcome sinners just as Jesus did

We have been preaching through the book of John. Early in the book we sense the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders that led up to Jesus’ death.

Welcome To Heaven!

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 30, 2006

A funeral sermon for a faithful Christian.

The promise of Scripture is that when a child of God passes from this world below, they are welcomed into the world above. Once they leave our presence, they enter into the presence of God. This is the hope that sustains every Child of God. As we gather here today, I am happy to report that this ...read more

Welcomed By Brethren Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 19, 2017

Paul’s third missionary journey was complete, having begun after a visit to “the church” in the holy city (18:22) and now ending there. His Greek mission was also complete. He would not return. Luke had prepared his readers well for this reality.

There’s a story I read about a pastor who was called to see a young man, John, dying of a terrible disease. The young man was once a member of this pastor’s congregation.

Welcome Home

Contributed by Joanne Chan on Feb 7, 2018

This sermon looks at the parable of the Prodigal Son, and explores the relationship between the father, the younger son, and the older son. The intertwined relationship of this family shows that love and respect should be the key values of our church.

Lately I have been binge watching this new American TV series called “This is us”. It’s about a family with triplets and their intertwining stories with each other now, when the characters are grown up, but it constantly flashes back to their childhood times. It shows how their loving parents ...read more

When your life is one big WHY, acknowledge that Jesus is King; worship Him with integrity; and welcome Him into your life with great honor.

Did you ever wonder why you tell a man there's 400 billion stars and he'll believe you, but tell him a bench has wet paint and he has to touch it? Why? Did you ever wonder why is it called a hamburger when it's made out of beef? Why do you put suits in garment bags and put garments in suitcases? ...read more

Palm Sunday welcome of the king and an alternative lifestyle is chosen, which is very different from the world’s norm of authority and power.
