Stonybank Community Church with Pastor James Carroll

Paul introduces himself and his gospel of salvation

Former Pastor Don Britton preached recently at our September 22 morning service.

Did you know that your fellowship with God is dependent upon your forgiveness of others? It is hypocritical to demand restitution of others when God has forgiven you all.

The Sermon on the Mount breaks 400 years of silence and goes beyond the religious traditions and gets at the heart of the matter. The Beatitudes introduce attitudes that ought to be in the believer's heart, which summarize kingdom living.

What you are in Christ cannot be lost but can be wasted. The world needs what you have in Christ. You are the light of the world, the salt of the earth. Your good glorifies God.

The Christian grace of forgiveness is the single greatest testimony any of us can have and by which we are clearly identified with Christ. NOTE: the recording drops out about for 30 seconds at the 11 minute mark.

Believers seek to overcome evil with good. We are the optimist, seeking for ways to make for peace. Satan is a troublemaker. We are called the children of God...

We say, if your heart is not in it, you're headed for disappointment if not failure. However, simultaneous with success, the heart may also be the source of all our trouble (Jer.15:9)

Merciless people are just that. Mercy and grace are the twin sisters of God's love. Mercy is a spiritual response when you have the upper hand.

Nothing in this world can satisfy and every time you seek satisfaction in anything other than how God designed you'll be unfulfilled.
