    A reflection on the Kingship of Christ and what this means for our lives in a contemporary world.

    CHRIST OUR KING! MATTHEW 25:31-46 Introduction: Today is a wonderful day in the Liturgical Calendar of the Church, an opportunity for a very deliberate focus on Christ and the fact that he is our King.

    Jesus was thankful: 1. for the Father’s revelation (Matt 11:25-26). 2. for the Father’s resources (Matt 26:26-28). 3. for His relationship with the Father (John 11:39-42).

    When Only One Believes

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 20, 2018
     | 3,251 views

    It's a part of every church, those who are there on Sunday without their spouse. What happens when only one believes?

    “Love and Marriage, Love and Marriage, goes together like a horse and carriage”, at least that’s what the song says.  You know as well as I do that isn’t always the reality.  Sometimes the horse doesn’t want to pull the carriage, and sometimes the carriage doesn’t want to be pulled.  For the ...read more

    How’s your "ever-after" going? Well, maybe not so good, because it turns out that there are a lot of bumps on the road to ever after. But here is some great news: God wants to help your family!

    Peace, Be Still

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,542 views

    A storm arose on the sea and the disciples thought they were going to die. In the storms of life, Jesus speaks into our circumstances. He is working to either calm the storm or quiet our heart. When we trust in Him, we find peace.

    Allow me to begin our sermon with an illustration. “Horatio Spafford was a Chicago lawyer and friend of evangelist Dwight L. Moody. In 1873, to visit Moody’s preaching campaign in England, he planned a trip for his family to Europe, and sent his wife Anna and daughters on ahead. But the ship ...read more

    Beware Of Ravenous Wolves Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,674 views

    Things are not always as they seem; and Jesus shares what to look for in identifying false prophets. These are false teachers, ravenous wolves, who seek to feed and save themselves, rather than feed and protect the flock.

    Allow me to begin with an illustration: As Little Red Riding Hood is heading to her grandmother’s house; a wolf comes along and finds out where she lives. He travels ahead, enters the house, and eats the grandmother! When Little Red Riding Hood arrives, she notices her grandmother’s unusual ...read more

    Encountering Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022
     | 1,423 views

    John 1:1-5 sets the stage for the rest of gospel - we get to see the Son of God, the Messiah in every story, every place, every circumstance and with every person. This is what John wants the reader to experience in their own lives, to encounter Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah.

    John Stott said, “Nothing hinders evangelism more than the widespread loss of confidence in the truth, relevance, and power of the Gospel.” There has been an erosion of convictions in Christian circles concerning: 1. the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, 2. the exclusive truth claims of ...read more

    Truth is not only a matter of the head, embracing truth through our rational abilities, but also through the disposition of our inward choice.

    Intro – The Heart of Truth Let me begin by asking a question… is truth a matter of the head or the heart? Do we embrace truth through the deduction of our rational abilities… or through the disposition of our inward choice? This is an issue that Jesus is going to challenge us with ...read more

    God wants us to grow. Like plants, if we actually want to grow, we’ve got to be pruned. God’s discipline is always loving. Accepting it is the key to becoming who God means us to be.

    In Hampton Court near London (start video-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxzG6C-jrwE), there is a grapevine under glass; it is about 1,000 years old and has but one single root which is at least two feet thick.

    Imperfect Series

    If someone is looking for perfection in the Bride of Christ, they are not likely to find it. People focus on an ideal symmetry, but God gives His perfection to imperfect. We will be perfected at the return of our Saviour.

    “He had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him.” [1] Most of us don’t have to look very far to find things we don’t like about ourselves.
