    It's A Trap

    Contributed by Horace Wimpey on Mar 28, 2014
     | 7,184 views

    John tells us to watch out and not get caught up in what the world systems want to lure us into. It's a trap that we need to avoid.

    “It’s A Trap” 1 John 2:15-17 Intro: How many Star Wars fans do we have here this morning? My wife, Pam, is queen of the Star Wars fans. I remember when we first got married, one of the movies came out and we went and stood in line for quite some time to see the movie. To say that ...read more

    The Attractive World

    Contributed by Martin Holland on Sep 7, 2012
     | 3,942 views

    One of the biggest challenges for believers today is to dwell in this world and yet remain his or her distance from its fatal attraction.

    The Attractive World 1 John 2:15-17 The world is an environment that we dwell in. We have families, jobs, we own things and involve ourselves in worldly activities. Though there is maybe nothing wrong with any of these things they make it easier for us to become attached to the world beyond that ...read more

    What does it really mean to be crucified with Christ?

    INTRODUCTION One of the reasons some Christians keep changing churches is that they can’t seem to get along with anyone. Maybe they don’t like the preacher or the minister of music, or the deacons. A ship captain sailing through the South Pacific saw smoke rising from a little island. ...read more

    Follow The Leader

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 18, 2015
     | 4,755 views

    When we take part in worship, especially when we take part in Holy Communion, we draw closer to God, and we allow him to live in us. Only then will we have the inner conviction and witness of the Holy Spirit that we are children of God.

    When you were children, did you ever play a game called “Follow the Leader”? Well, for those of you who didn’t, or for those of you who have never heard of the game, let me explain. First, you choose a leader. Then you follow him wherever he goes and do whatever he does. You stomp ...read more

    Spiritual warfare is confined to within us. Satan is defeated and powerless unless we chose to give him his power back. This sermon looks at 5 ways we can do that.

    Let me begin today with a reminder of what Sun Tzu wrote in his book “The Art of War.” “It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; ...read more

    Has worldliness invaded our churches?

    1 John 2:15 Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. 16 For the world offers only a craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. These are not ...read more

    Cheap substitutes for the peace of God

    1Jo 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1Jo 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

    Falling in love with the world is a fatal attraction for believers.

    Fatal Attraction 1 John 2:15-17 Several years ago there was a movie entitled "Fatal Attraction" in which a man finds himself attracted to another woman. He yields to this temptation, no doubt thinking that it will be a brief encounter. Instead, he finds himself trapped in an affair that threatens ...read more

    Lessons we learn from the story of David and Bathsheba. 2 Samuel 11.

    There’s an old saying that goes: Sin will take you farther than you want to go, keep you longer than you want to stay, and cost you more than you'll ever want to pay! Read: 2 Samuel 11:1-5 David neglected his duty (vs. 1). A compromise of duty leads to a moment of vulnerability. We all ...read more

    A sermon that describes the character of an individual who seeks to adorn the "inner man of the heart."

    "The Adornment that Attracts" Pt. 1 1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it ...read more

    Evil is so seductive, so easy, so clothed in plausible promises of free lunches and quick fixes, that if we are not vigilant we will find ourselves in slavery to the enemy of God.

    Monsters coming up from the deep have a long and colorful history. From Leviathan to the Loch Ness Monster, from the giant squid in 10,000 Leagues under the sea to the “here be monsters” with which mapmakers once marked the limits of the unknown, the sea has been the source of fear for ...read more

    What if we anticipated the second coming of Jesus Christ the way we anticipate the new Star Wars movie?

    December 18, 2015 is the date everyone…and I mean everyone…has been waiting on. That’s the date the latest installment of Star Wars will be released. It must be the most anticipated coming attraction of all time. Star Wars: The Force Awakens begins again (or continues, whichever ...read more
