Bernard was Pastor between February 2010 and October 2020
On a day when we remember the wars of our world, I want to show that a day is coming when the Victor seen this morning will reveal His glory. It is a promise that God has developed through the OT and will climax in Revelation. The Darkness has not defeated it, but darkness will…
Acknowledging Remembrance Sunday, I want to speak of the only Lasting Victory. We live in a defeated world, but there is hope and that is found in a relationship given by God. We have access to that relationship through faith in God alone. 4 For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world.…
Looking at the experience of God’s OT as they approached and endured the Exile, I want us to see that sin always leads to ruin, but God is faithful to and with His Word. He calls to repentance in order that He might restore fully. 4 “In those days and in that time, declares the Lord, the people…
In this message, I want to remind us of our position in Christ. We are One family, bound by one faith and the love of God flows from us, not primarily because of a commandment, but rather our relationship with God. Overcoming the World 5 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of…
Luke 21:28 English Standard Version (ESV) 28 Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

I want to show that we should never be surprised by the depths to which sin can take human beings, but by the same token we should never be shocked by the wonders of God’s saving grace. Mannaseh lived a life of perversity, but when he humbled himself God restored him fully. Isaiah 44:21 English…
I want to show that the solution to attacks from outside the church is love within the church. This love, flows not from personal effort, but from the Love shown to us by God through His Son. God’s love for us gives us no escape from loving others 1 John 4:7-12 English Standard Version (ESV)…
I want to show that Genuine Faith is a life-changing, on-going relationship with Jesus Christ. It demands radical change, disposing of the obsolete and daily providing newness of life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 English Standard Version (ESV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.[a] The old has passed away; behold, the…
I want to show that today as throughout history there are people who want to peddle a false form of Christianity. Genuine Christianity always has Jesus Christ central. Counterfeits will offer anything other than Jesus. We have to believe in Him as God’s only answer to sin, who is still active, powerful and vocal today.…
