  • John The Baptist: An Almost Familiar Story

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Nov 28, 2010
     | 6,657 views

    A heavenly messenger, a miraculous birth, a normal childhood a short ministry preaching to people who loved his message and hated his message and then an untimely death at the hands of the authorities he had offended. Not the story you are thinking of.

    It is a familiar story for this time of year. A heavenly messenger, a miraculous birth, a normal childhood a short ministry preaching to people who loved his message and hated his message and then an untimely death at the hands of the authorities he had offended. Most people could fill in the ...read more

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 10, 2016
     | 7,237 views

    This is a four week series looking at some hard stories from the bible. In our first week we examine why we need to look into the closet.

    Skeletons in God’s Closet, intro They are lurking in of our closets, things that we wished we had never done, words we wished we had never spoken. Families have them, churches have them and individuals have them. Because we all make mistakes. We all have skeletons in our closets. Some are ...read more

  • The Unity Of Love

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 13, 2023
     | 2,205 views

    Paul's desire was that the Church would be unified, but what does that look like? We live in a time when the church seems fragmented and divided, and that is affecting who we reach and don't reach people.

    The Unity of Love If nothing else, you need to love the sixties and seventies for their awesome sense of style. The band was “The Brotherhood of Man,” the year was 1970, and the message of the song was spelled out in its title “United we stand, divided we fall.” Interesting tidbit about the ...read more

  • Colossians The Promise Of Baptism Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 10, 2025
     | 621 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

  • O Little Town Of Bethlehem Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Dec 1, 2024
     | 1,290 views

    We sing O Little Town of Bethlehem, but it seems like a strange choice for Mary and Joseph to travel 120 km when Mary was "Great with Child". This message seeks to answer some of the questions

    O Little Town of Bethlehem, So you probably know the story, the Angel Gabriel appears to Mary and tells her the exciting news, she’s going to be a mom, even though she is still a virgin, they work out the details but then there is the entire process of telling her parents and her fiancé, in ...read more

  • The Vultures And The Carcass (Sermon On The Rapture)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 21, 2025
     | 444 views

    I want to read Luke 17:37 for out text verse which is probably going to cause some of you to scratch your head wondering what this verse is talking about. But I will explain the meaning of this verse later in this sermon.

    Look at… Text: Luke 17:37, Introduction: Because the Lord loved people, He used everything available to teach people. Jesus was the master teacher. • Thousands would gather to hang on every word He spoke. • People traveled far and wide just to hear him teach. • The lessons he taught ...read more

  • Therefore: Do Good Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 7, 2023
     | 2,639 views

    This is the first in the series where we look at the old adage, whenever you see a Therefore, you need to go back and see what it's there for.

    It’s one of those things that preachers say. It is kind of like, “After the but comes the truth,” or “I’m almost finished.” I’m pretty sure if you’ve been in church for any length of time that you’ve heard this particular phrase, perhaps you’ve even said it yourself from time to time, and it is ...read more

  • Saving Grace PRO Sermon

    Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 20, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 141 views

    God’s love reaches us at our lowest, offering grace and acceptance not because we are worthy, but because He chooses to love us first.

    Some of us slipped into church today with a quiet ache that words barely touch. Some carry the weight of a week that felt longer than it should. Some bring a secret shame that still stings, a failure that still whispers. And yet here we are—together—hearts open, hands ready, longing for a word that ...read more

  • A Return To Civility: Intro Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 23, 2024
     | 1,842 views

    I noticed that as a society we've seemed to have lost our Civility, we no longer show one another respect. Could that be because we've lost our common morality? This is a new look at the 10 Commandments

    Earlier this year I was struck by how uncivil our society has become. I can’t remember if it was a personal encounter with someone or something I saw on the news or read on social media. But I do remember thinking: Why can’t we just be civil to each other, what can’t we just be nice? It seems that ...read more

     | 948 views

    This message focus on the second commandment as we look at the loss of a mutual morality in today's society.

    A couple of weeks ago we began our series “A Return to Civility” and I mentioned how earlier this year I had speculated on what I saw as a loss of civility in our society. We’ve come to a place where we can no longer agree to disagree, and we’ve stopped treating one another with respect, at least ...read more

    based on 54 ratings
     | 16,351 views

    A look at what our speech says about our relationship with Christ

    The flames cast eerie shadows over the mixed group crowding in for warmth. The talk was of the man from Galilee who had been arrested by the temple guard for blasphemy. Who had seen him. what did they think. Was he God or was he the devil? And as they spoke someone pointed to the burly young ...read more

    The fifth in a series of sermons through the book of James. The focus of this message is on the sin of partiality and favoritism. Especially ways in which it takes place in the church today.

    (This message contains a significant intro that is a personal life experience. Should be personalized to an example from the speakers life of prejudice/favoritsim/partiality being shown.) We have been working our way through the book of James. Chapter one is behind us and as you will see over ...read more

    As Paul, Barnabas, and Titus strolled down the streets of Jerusalem to meet with the Church leaders they were a living illustration of the diversity of the Body of Christ.

    Unity in Diversity Galatians 2:1-10 The Body of Christ is as diverse as the snowflakes that fall on the Colorado Mountains. In every corner of the globe you will find those who bow their knee to the King of all kings. When Christians gather across the planet you will find Chinese Christians ...read more

    Jesus continues in the sermon on the mount linking our happiness to our quest to know him.

    24.3 Righteous Is . . . Have you discovered that words can’t be taken in isolation? They have to be looked at in their environment. My folks have a friend named Noreen who has red hair. One afternoon Dad was sitting at a red light in Saint John when he noticed Noreen standing back to waiting ...read more
