Fulcrum Messages

What is the message of Christmas? The angel gave the shepherds a life changing, world changing message. How does God give messages today? How do we react to them? 

Part 2 of the series on the wonder of Christmas

We start a new series on The Wonder of Christmas and today we ask ourselves how would we react if God surprised us with an impossibility.

What happens when you come into the presence of something? You start to take on the properties of that item. Get close to a fire and smell like smoke. Get close to rain and you will get wet. Get close to God and His holiness will be imparted upon you.

A short message about the message that God gave us that came down from Heaven.

What happens when you are searching for closeness to God but do not go to God for that closeness? If you let others, or google, lead you to the truth, you may not find it. This message from Phil revolves around a personal testimony of what he went through from 2004 - 2006 and almost didn't celebrate Christmas that year.

The Holy Spirit is our power and our guide. We are nothing without Him and He leads us to the Father, through the son. What did Jesus mean when He said "Obey my commands?" watch this to find out.

When He said he was the alpha and the omega, Jesus was saying He is everything and everything in between. We use letters to make words and from first to last, He is the maker of all things.

We were created in the image of God and so in God, we need to live.

After Pentecost, the new believers did many things day after day but it was God who added to their numbers. How can we apply this 2000 years later?

Kathy McLeish fills in for Phil in this powerful testimony about our identity in Christ.

The final part of the overcoming fear series. Knowledge of God's past, present and future promises helps us overcome fear.

Part two of the three part series on Overcoming Fear

Beginning a 3 part series about overcoming fear, Pastor Phil asks us to "Fan into Flame The Faith Given To Us" as a means of overcoming fear.

The Bible tells us in Romans 1 that all see God in their lives in some way. Therefore we have excuse to not believe. But what about those who never hear? We cover that too in this message.

In the Bible, many times it is said that every matter is confirmed by the witness of two or more. These "doubles" are everywhere including what Christ did for us. He died for our salvation and our healing (Isaiah 53) Be sure to look for the doubles

What does it mean to rest in God? Is there a difference between physical and spiritual rest? Listen to this podcast to find out.

Daniel and the lion's den is more than a fantastic children's tale. It shows us the story of Jesus before He was even born. God does this with Daniel and others to show us He had a plan and to help us believe in Him. We need this type of faith for our lives.

There are times in our lives when we feel all alone, but Jesus shows up. When all seems lost and it seems like we need to redirect, Jesus shows up. We look at John 11 and the death of Lazarus to find out how Jesus Shows Up.

Moses and Aaron showed a lack of faith and in so doing, were not permitted to go to the promised Land. This sermon talks about that passage from Numbers and how we can also speak to our rocks.

Three testimonies from July 9

Sermon from July 2 regarding freedom

Pastor Ian delivers a powerful message from 2 Chronicles. The LORD is with you when you are with Him.

Pastor Phil takes some time to explain previous schisms in the church to show what we are facing now is not really new and then how to go forward from here.

How do you perceive sin, salvation and obedience? Do you know how sin affects you as a human? Tune into this message to find out Phil's take on it all.

Prayer is our foundation for our faith. It's our way of hearing from and speaking to God. Today we talk about the importance of Prayer.

A relationship with God is sometimes hard to comprehend, but it is one of the most important things you can ever work on with God. Phil explains his take on it in this sermon.

Continuing the series called "The Importance Of", Phil talks about how important it is for a Christian to read the Bible. 

Starting a new series on "The Importance Of", Phil talks about surrender and gives a testimony of his recent whirlwind week and how two people he encountered had not surrendered to God. This becomes the basis of this powerful message

Kathy shares incredible wisdom and insight into the Lord's Prayer. We know it by heart, but you have probably never looked at it this way.

Using a blog post, Chad asks us to focus more on Jesus and less on the problems He can fix. In a powerful message, we are challenged to look at healing and deliverance in a new light.

In the final installment of the "Freedom" series, pastor Phil explains how we all have peace with God.

In 1 Thessalonians 5, Paul reminds us that because of the redemptive work of Christ, we are not appointed unto wrath. However Satan wants to bring us down and he works in his nature, lies and deceit, to bring us to his level. Don't fall for it. You are not appointed unto wrath and Jesus has done so much for you already.

We all trust in what others have created for us every day. So let's trust God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit each day for our lives.

What happened in that shadow that the cross made? Are you living in it? Are you dwelling where you should not? Come out of the shadow and into the light. Palm Sunday 2023

In Mark 5, Jesus delivers a man from the demonic, giving Him freedom. The demonic play a pivotal role in our lives whether we realize it or not. But we do have authority over them and with that, incredible freedom.

Jesus plus nothing = everything. That's God's equation. Jesus is the sole focus we should have and when we stray from that, we risk dabbling in religion. Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship.

Continuing the freedom series, Pastor Phil talks about being free from illness. God wants you well and He has already died to make this happen.

Turning to the passage read by Jesus, Isaiah 61:1-3, we take a look at what freedom from sin means. Jesus died that we may have freedom from many things and sin is the first and foremost.

God has promised you freedom. Over the next several weeks, we will look at Freedom as a promise from God. We start in Exodus 3.

An interesting look at Psalm 23 and how much God loves us.

Wrapping up the series using the parables to get closer to God, Phil talks about the parable of the sower and seed.

Turning to Matthew 15 when Jesus eats without washing his hands, we discuss how to allow God to clean us from the inside so we can bring forth clean material. It's that which comes from the heart that defiles, not what goes in the mouth.

Continuing the closer to God series, we look at the parable of the prodigal son. What can you do to get closer to God, let God bring you closer. Nothing else you do will work. Let God bring you closer.

Continuing in the series, Closer to God, we turn to the parable of the Good Samaritan to discover how we can be closer to God by Being in His presence.

Continuing the series on getting Closer To God, pastor Phil discusses the parable of the wheat and tares.

Starting a new series on the parables, this one is from the parable of the lost sheep and discusses how God actively seeks and finds us.

Christmas has taken a beating over the years for being "Pagan". Was Christmas created to evangelize pagans? Find out the truth in this Christmas day message.

Love Came Down At Christmas is a famous poem written by Christina Roosevelt that talks about the love of God in Jesus Christ. But just how powerful is this love?
