Sermons on Wrong Turns:

Thou Art The Christ

Contributed by Marvin P. Hoogland on Aug 9, 2021

The deity of Christ has been often challenged, but is at the foundation of the Christian's confession

God and man? Can that be true? The man, Jesus, is God? Yes! This is the confession of the Christian Church. Jesus Christ is truly God and truly man in one person. The Church confesses that “Our only comfort in life and death” is not found simply in God. God the Almighty, the Omnipotent, ...read more

Why We Gather, No.2, Rhythm

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 15, 2021

God wants human life to have a rhythm to it and meeting together on Sunday helps us to establish that rhythm.

INTRODUCTION Two weeks ago we started a new four-talk series titled ‘Why we gather?’ I got the idea for the series from a website called SermonCentral.

Eschatology 3 Of 16 Our Glorified Bodies (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 13, 2022

In the last two sermons, we have been talking about the rapture of the church. I want to remind you again, the rapture is different from the second coming of Christ.

• At the Second Coming, the Lord will literally come to the earth and set up His kingdom on earth for a thousand years. • When the rapture of the church takes place, the Lord will not come back to the earth, but the church will be caught up to meet Him in the air. Look at 1 Thess 4:17 “Then we ...read more

Come To The Table

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

The table is more than just a place to have a meal. Other things happen at the kitchen or dining room table. Conversations take place at the table; people play games and do projects at the table. Special things happen at the table.

COME TO THE TABLE We just had Thanksgiving where we got together with family and friends and gathered around the table. We like to hear that call, "dinner's ready, everyone come to the table". But that's not just a call to come and eat. The table is more than just a place to have ...read more
