    Why Me?

    When we are asked to do something we don't want to do, our response is usually, "Why Me?" This is a short homily for a Sunday service following the choir cantata.

    Why Me? Luke 1: 26 - 38 Intro: Have you ever been asked to do something and you ask the person, “How am I going to do that?” Maybe you’ve been chosen to do something and you ask, “WHY ME? PICK SOMEONE ELSE. I Mary is approached by Gabriel, a messenger from God and asked to do something that is ...read more

    Perhaps someone can say, “If I am the object of His blessings, why I am living in these unjustified conditions?” Perhaps what needs he/she needs to do is to put more attention at the conditions that the Bible demands to be able to obtain the blessings pr

    Ice-breaker: If the angel Gabriel came and said, “Ask me what you want.” What would ask for? Key Verses: 3 John 1:2, Proverbs 8:17, Job 8:5-7. INTRODUCTION Perhaps someone can say, “If I am the object of His blessings, why I am living in these unjustified ...read more

    In our society you can’t even utter the word "Christmas" in many circles. Why not just do away with it?

    Have you noticed that a lot of stores are now open on Christmas Day? At one large grocery store chain, they told their employees that the reason they now open on Christmas is that only about 30% of Americans are Christians so why not? In our culture, especially in the last few years, the word ...read more

    I was reading a book about the Sermon on the Mount & saw some information about Matthew 5:8. This verse is great for me to write a study to share at the Men's Bible Study I lead. I will be sharing this with a small group of men in a few hours. Hope it speaks to you as well. God bless.

    Matthew 5:8 – Bible Study What is the most beautiful thing you have ever seen? What brought to you the most love & joy when you witnessed it? I will share my moment with you.

     | 6,958 views

    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

    In Acts 9, we read of the exciting conversion of the Apostle Paul as he traveled to Damascus to persecute the New Testament Christians.

    After the Lord miraculous converted Paul, the Lord told him to go into the city and he would be told what he was to do. The apostle Peter's conversion was unusual as well. The Lord first met him by the sea of Galilee. Look Matthew 4:18, “And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two ...read more

    A sermon to get us thinking about the God we worship, how awesome he is, and why we worship him.

    (With thanks to a sermon by Louie Giglio and books by Matt Redman and Matt Hyam) For those of you who knew that today I was going to speak about worship I wonder what your expectations were, if any. When you came to Church today, I wonder what expectations you had of our worship, if any. When I ...read more

    There’s some confusion around whether Christians should fast and why. In this message we look at why Christians should fast and why it’s so valuable.

    ILL: A few months ago my son got into an extension class that was working on making a clay movie animation. This completely captured his imagination to the extent that one day he came home with his lunch uneaten. Who needs food when you’re consumed with a project you love?

    How Should We Serve The Lord?

     | 2,879 views

    In the verse of scripture that I read to you, it states something that I wish could be true of every Christian.

    Look at this verse again. We read, “For they themselves show of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.” GOD SAVES US FOR TWO REASONS: (1) He does not want us to perish. John 3:16 makes that clear. We read, “For God so ...read more

    How do you view the year 2024? Whatever happened this year, let's have right perspective so that we can praise God and give Him thanks.

    We will soon leave the year of 2024. Some people see 2024 as a difficult or even bad year because they experienced so many problems this year, whether in finance, relationships, or health. They may even lose something precious or someone they loved this year. So, they are disappointed with God and ...read more
