Holy Appointments

Sermon text: John 4:1-29 Using Jesus’ encounter with the woman at the well as a backdrop, Toney McDonald delves into the power of one-on-one witnessing. The message of salvation is universal, and every believer should share it with unbelievers. But the Lord uses different voices in different situations to speak the truth of the gospel to those who need to hear it. Header image by Joshua Rodriguez on Unsplash.

Humility During Conflict

Sermon text: Philippians 2:5-8; Philippians 4:2-9 We live in a world full of conflict. Often we’re dragged into situations not of our making. That doesn’t give us the right to become angry and bitter. Instead, followers of Christ should adopt the humble mind of Jesus. Using Paul’s letter to the church at Philippi as a backdrop, Bob Kay offers practical steps to align our minds with Christ. Header image by mark tulin on Unsplash.

A Friendly Reminder

Sermon text: Romans 5:12 Christians need to always remember that the people we pass each day who don’t know Jesus as their Savior and Lord are destined for an eternity in hell. But it seems so easy for us to go about our daily lives not even considering the very real battle for the souls of people that’s going on all around us every day.

Sermon text: 1 John 5:13-21 John turns the idea of prayer on its head. We do not bend God’s will to our will. Instead, rooted in the confidence of our salvation, we bend our will to God’s will and pray from that posture. In essence, the right position of prayer, along with the right petition of prayer, leads to a powerful experience in prayer. Header image by Samuel Martins on Unsplash.

Sermon text: 1 John 5:1-13 John knew what it took to experience the victorious Christian life on a daily basis. It’s something we cannot do alone.

Extending the Love We Share

Sermon text: 1 John 4:7-21 In this passage, John emphasizes that we must demonstrate that we are a loving community to attract others into that community. The demonstration of love and the invitation to love are complementary. One does not exist without the other. How do we extend our new way of loving beyond the four walls of the church: By making the invisible visible; staying the course; and pushing through to the end. Header image by Priscilla Du Preez…

Love in Action

Sermon text: 1 John 2:3-11 Those who claim to know God must keep His commandments, and those who do not are deceiving themselves. True knowledge of God is reflected in living as Jesus did, walking in the light and loving others. Loving one’s brother or sister is a sign of living in the light, while hatred indicates living in darkness. Believers should examine their lives, ensuring their actions align with their professed faith in Jesus Christ. Header image by Mayur…
