    Will you cast down who you are to give God the honor that He is due? This message is both a challenge and an encouragement to do so.

    Around the end of May, I was here at the church praying and studying, and during that time of seeking God, the Lord spoke something to me that has been recently renewed and revived in my heart: I want this church to exemplify heavenly praise. For many weeks I’ve weighed this out in my heart, ...read more

    Jesus Is God

    the story of Christmas is that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. The Word is the outward expression of God. The Baby in the manger was God made flesh.

    The Christmas story is about Jesus. Now, I doubt that there is anyone here who really needed to be told that, but we all have to admit that it’s pretty difficult to keep the focus there. Actually, I think there is a fine line between what’s pleasing and not pleasing in the way we celebrate. ...read more

    One of the most misunderstood terms in our English language is the word “worship”. We often confuse the word worship with thanksgiving and praise. This sermon will help people to understand the difference.

    John 4:23-24 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

    Why are words of Genesis 1:1 the first verse in our Bible? And what can these words mean to us who trust in God for our hope and our salvation?

    (We opened with a youtube video featuring David Attenborough reciting the words to the famous Louis Armstrong song: “It’s a Wonderful World” for a BBC nature program commercial.

    Perhaps the most commonly misused and misapplied word in the language of man, is ‘love.’ If so, then surely the second most misused and misapplied word is, ‘peace.'

    Where is Peace? Scripture: Luke 2:12-2:14 12. “This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” 13. And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14. “Glory to God in the ...read more

    Martha felt free to speak the words of disappointment and anger that we sometimes feel but are hesitant to speak. This message examines Martha's words as a model for biblical lament.

Her brother had been sick, and as his condition continued to deteriorate, Martha and her sister Mary had sent a message to their friend Jesus. In a situation, which seemed to have no hope, Jesus provided hope. They had ...read more
