    God despises pride and lifts up those who are humble. But how do I know if I'm proud, and how I can make sure that I am humble?

    The sermon series we’re preaching this month… is called “ONE THING”. We’re looking at ONE word that points to something important for us Christians. Scott began with the word GRACE; last week I preached on “UNITY”; and todays word is “HUMILITY.” HUMILITY - Back in the 1980s a singer named Mac ...read more

    How can we "maintain" unity in a world of churches that divide and split as a matter of course?

    The story is told about a poor church in Tennessee back in the early 1900s. The congregation had had a terrible argument… and (sadly) there was a split. They couldn’t stand each other., however, neither side could afford to leave and build their own church building. And so they both continued ...read more

    We are all dead in ours sins, but God... rich in mercy, out of His love brought us to life in Christ through grace so that we can do good works? How does it all tie together? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    Read the text and pray. When I read this passage, my mind jumps to the fictional movie, Sixth Sense. You may recall that it’s about a young boy who is very troubled, which has his single mom very concerned about him. He begins seeing a therapist and, after a while, he finally confides in the ...read more

    What was it about what Peter preached on Pentecost that cut his audience to the heart and prompted them to ask "What shall we do?" And what can we learn from what he said that can help us be more effective about sharing our faith?

    We just read a sermon by the Apostle Peter - a sermon he preached on the day of Pentecost - and it was so powerful that about 3000 people responded by asking: WHAT SHALL WE DO? And then they repented of their sin and were baptized into Christ. Their future was changed because of what Peter said. ...read more

  • The Problem With Racism Series

     | 979 views

    During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

  • Heavenly Minded Series

    Why would the angels prompt the followers of Jesus to stop watching the sky for Jesus? Was it wrong for them to want Jesus to return? Or is there something else we need to see here?

    Years ago, a famous Supreme Court Justice named Oliver Wendall Holmes said: “Some people are so heavenly minded, that they are no earthly good.” Now, I’m not exactly sure why he said that, but it has been true in the past. ILLUS: In 1823, there was a Baptist minister by the name of William ...read more

    Why did Jesus believe the early church needed the power of the Holy Spirit - and what can that power mean to us today?

    A few years ago, the power went out on the north side of town. I first noticed it when I saw that the traffic lights weren’t working but I didn’t think much about it until I tried to stop into CVS to pick up some batteries. One of the clerks met me at the door and explained: “I’m sorry we have no ...read more

    In the Bible, people often fasted when they were serious about getting direction (or a vision) from God. Who fasted in the Bible, and why should we?

    "Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it; Plan more than you can do, then do it; Point your arrow at a star, take your aim, and there you are; Arrange more time than you can spare, then spare it; Take on more than you can bear, then bear it; Plan your castle in the air, then build a ship ...read more

    Christians often sing "Joy To The World" as a Christmas carol... but that's not what Isaac Watts wanted to sing about when he first wrote the song. Why did Watts write this song, and what can that mean for us?

    Back in the 1700s, there was a man who wrote hymns… a lot of hymns (nearly 750 songs during his lifetime). He was a very famous and popular song writer in his day – and his name was Isaac Watts. He wrote a several songs that are still being sung today and we’re going to sing a few of them… a ...read more

    Using the popular song by Mariah Carey "All I Want For Christmas Is You" this Christmas Eve devotion focuses the fact that all God wanted for Christmas... is you.

    OPEN: There was a preacher who said that (when he was young) he was an only child - for the first few Christmases. As a result, he got the impression that Christmas was all about HIM, and he said “That was the essence of real joy. I thought Christmas was all about me, and all I wanted for ...read more

    What if Jesus had not been born? What if He'd never existed? Would that have made any difference?

    Today’s sermon is going to focus on the question: “What If Jesus Had Never Been born? What if Jesus had never existed? What difference would that have made? In keeping with our sermon series, we’re focusing on secular Christmas music, and this Sunday’s song is an old classic by Elvis Presley ...read more

    On that first Christmas it seems that no one was "home for Christmas" and yet Jesus was born to give us the promise a home with Him forever. What can that promise mean to us?

    (Singing this acapella) “I'll be home for Christmas, you can plan on me. Please have snow and mistletoe and presents on the tree. Christmas Eve will find me where the lovelight gleams. I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.” That Christmas song was written back in 1924, but it ...read more

    What did Jesus mean by saying we should eat His flesh and drink His blood?

    An 11-year-old girl named Abby went to the refrigerator and grabbed a grape flavored juice box. She shoved the straw into the box, and took a sip. And then she paused for a minute. She took the juice box to her sister, and said, "Here, taste this, and tell me if it tastes like ...read more

    Worship should be done in "Spirit and in Truth"... but what does that mean? How will I know when I've worshipped that way? And what difference would it make if didn't worship that way?

    OPEN: A few years ago, Scott (our Family Minister) and I heard that a church building over by High School was for sale and Scott thought it would be a great place for a youth outreach program (Scott’s a genius at lining up grants for things like that). Obviously, we didn’t purchase it … but we did ...read more

    Why is John 3:16 such a powerful verse in Scripture - and what it say about who we are and what God thinks about us?

    I once read that the printing press was one of the greatest inventions ever. Up until that time, all books were painstakingly printed by hand - which made books very rare and very hard to find. But the Printing press changed all of that. Information was suddenly made available to 1000s of people. ...read more
