  • Created In The Image Of God Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 8, 2022
     | 2,878 views

    This message looks at the concept of being created in the image of God, what that means and how the image becomes distorted.

    In the Beginning. That’s where it all started and where God created all things. Now, I have no interest in dating when that creation may or may not have happened. Everybody has a theory. For me, it’s enough to believe that God created everything. That this world as we know it was not an ...read more

    If you were to visit the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. you could visit an exhibit called The Hall of Human Origins, and you could spend the better part of a day visiting the various displays that make up the exhibit. Now if DC isn’t on your vacation list for this year, you could ...read more

  • A Tale Of Four Kings

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Apr 15, 2022
     | 1,429 views

    The question was asked at Jesus' birth, Where is the King of the Jews, and it was answered by the sign on the Cross, Jesus of Nazareth, The King of the Jews

    This morning I want to tell you a story of four kings. And I know that you think I’ve lost it, that the account belongs in the Christmas story, not the Easter story, and it’s three kings, not four. Well, even that isn’t completely true. Even though the story of the three kings comes alive each ...read more

  • Proof Of The Spirit Series

     | 2,945 views

    We are sometimes asked how to know when we have been filled with the Holy Spirit. These are my thoughts.

    Has anyone here ever grown fruit trees? Maybe an apple tree or a cherry tree. I am not a farmer or a gardener, but in 1990 we moved into a rented house we were told had five different fruit trees in the backyard.  When I heard that I thought, “wow that’ll be cool.” The day we arrived, one of ...read more

    This message looks at how the Holy Spirit gives us the power to live well and to die well.

    Power of the Holy Spirit A few years ago, we had just arrived back in Port Canaveral from our February cruise and had taken the shuttle to the Alamo car rental lot. We did all the things we needed to rent our car. We showed them our licenses and declined seven upgrades, three insurance offers ...read more

     | 2,128 views

    This is an introduction to our series on the Holy Spirit.

    As a child, I lived before the Marvel Universe. As a matter of fact, I lived before Superhero movies and after superhero TV shows. My childhood was a childhood of superhero comics. And for the most part, I wasn’t a Marvel fan; I was a DC fan. I grew up with Superman and Batman. With the Flash and ...read more

  • The Secret Of Contentment

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,801 views

    For many people, Philippians 4:13 is their favourite message, but they never look at the verses preceding that verse of following it. This message looks at what true contentment is.

    It’s a favourite verse for many people. It’s a verse that gets claimed when we are in difficult situations. When we are trying new things. A verse for those times when we are attempting the difficult, the improbable, and the impossible. But for too many people, it is more a motivational statement ...read more

    As we move into the "Living with Covid" stage in Nova Scotia felt it was time to remind people why we are here.

    Resetting the TimeLine Intro If I could save time in a bottle The first thing that I'd like to do Is to save every day 'Til eternity passes away Just to spend them with you. That is the opening verse of “Time in a bottle”, which is the title of one of my favourite songs. If you are old, ...read more

    As we move away from COVID restrictions this message was to remind folks why we worship in person

    I never thought I would see the day in Canada that Christians would be unable to come together, in person, to worship. Then again, I never imagined a Global Pandemic either. The joke with pastors is that we all skipped the class on pastoring in a pandemic. I’ve been asked many times if what we are ...read more

     | 5,853 views

    The suicide of Judas is the only case of suicide in the New Testament. This message looks at what we can learn from that event as we deal with those who take their own lives.

    When I was a teenager one of my favourite television shows was MASH, and Angela and I have just started from the beginning and are watching it all over again. And if you are familiar with the TV show or the movie than you are familiar with the theme song, which is called Suicide is Painless. If ...read more

  • Dealing With Ocd Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on May 22, 2021
     | 2,854 views

    OCD is often joked about but this mental health issue can severely impact people's lives. Saul's obsession over David ultimately impacted his ability to rule Israel.

    In 1884 he moved to the United States with nothing but a letter of introduction to Thomas Edison. The letter was written by his former employer, Charles Batchelor, and it simply read, “I know two great men, one is you and the other is this young man.” Today, when we think of Tesla, we think of ...read more

    Have you ever been afraid of tomatoes? I mean, other than after watching the movie “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”? Today, you might not like tomatoes, but chances are you’re not afraid of them.

    This message looks at the story of Samson and how people can deal with narcissism

    In November 0f 1998, I began a sermon that had been percolating in my mind for a few days. It was going to be a message about Samson, the Judge from the Old Testament. If you've attended Sunday School or VBS, you know who I mean, the dude with the long hair who was betrayed by Delilah. Sound ...read more

    When you think of a treasure, what crosses your mind? Perhaps something buried by a pirate? When I was a boy, when I thought about treasure, I thought about Jim Hawkins and Long John Silver from Robert Louis Stevenson’s novel “Treasure Island”. By the way, Long John Silver was the ship’s cook, not ...read more
