    The story of what happened in the Garden of Eden is important – powerfully important. And I want to make you aware at the outset, that this is not just the story of the wrongdoings of two people. No, it’s the story of how the first two people’s wrongdoing affects you and me.

    We’re doing a series on God’s Big Story where we are tracing the central storyline of the Bible. The Bible isn’t a mass of unconnected stories. Instead, it is one story. And that is exactly the aim of this series – to see the big picture of the Bible. I want you to see the Bible is a single story. ...read more

    Why would the angels prompt the followers of Jesus to stop watching the sky for Jesus? Was it wrong for them to want Jesus to return? Or is there something else we need to see here?

    Years ago, a famous Supreme Court Justice named Oliver Wendall Holmes said: “Some people are so heavenly minded, that they are no earthly good.” Now, I’m not exactly sure why he said that, but it has been true in the past.

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 5, 2022
     | 4,105 views

    The focus of this sermon is that the church not only is about the sending short and long-term missionaries, but that the Church exists for missions and that every Christian is a missionary.

    We have been going through a six-part series called The Nature of the Church. You may recall when I started the series I said that there were basically three aspects that help give definition to the church. I said the church was Christ initiated.

    We can be joyful in all circumstances, by adopting a right perspective, set the right priority, lean on the power of God, and focus on the purpose of life.
