    And He Walks With Me Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 28, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 357 views

    Many theologians and preachers ignore the fact that God created us because He wanted to be with us. God is LOOKING for someone to walk and talk with. Are you that person God is looking for?

    When Jesus was about to be born to Mary, an angel appeared to Joseph and said “Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us). Matthew 1:23 GOD WITH US! Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be looking at God’s desire to ...read more

    We Are Family

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 21, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 426 views

    Once a year we have a "Unity Service" where we celebrate the fact that we are one church with several different languages that meet in our building. This sermon focused on us being ONE family with ONE God.

    Someone once said that the Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans had their many gods—They had gods of war, gods of industry, gods of agriculture, gods of cities, gods of towns, and many others. But in all of their galaxy of gods, there never was one called ...read more

    Imitation - The Sincerest Form Of Faith Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 14, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 657 views

    Ephesians tells me I should imitate God... but how can I do that, and what would it look like when I did?

    A city girl visited a farm one day and saw some farm animals out in the field. She asked the farmer: “Mister, why doesn’t that cow have any horns?” The farmer thought about that for a moment, and then he said “Well, cattle can do a powerful lot of damage with horns. Sometimes we keep ‘em trimmed ...read more

    Tell Me The Story Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Nov 7, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,438 views

    How do we tell others the story of Jesus? In our text today we see that it doesn’t require a Bible college education or a deep theological argument. Instead, it’s all about saying “Come and See Jesus”.

    (Sermon began with a group of people standing on a sidewalk looking upward) Back when I was a boy, there was a TV show that always began with this group of people on a sidewalk - pointing and looking up in the sky. Does anyone know what TV show this was? (SUPERMAN) “Look! Up in the sky…. It’s a ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 635 views

    As a Christian, should I give a 10th of my income to God each week (should I tithe)?

    A 6th grade class Sunday School class teacher brought a pan of brownies to class and set the pan on a small desk. Then, she gave each child a slip of paper marked with a household expense: house payment; phone bill' credit card bill; car payment; entertainment, and so on. Then she picked ...read more

    Time On Loan Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,127 views

    Christians often compartmentalize their use of time into "MY" time and "GOD'S" time. But is that the best way to think of the time we've been given in our lives?

    It used to be – if you wanted to know what time it was you might look up at the sun and say “Well, it looks like it’s about 12:30” and everybody’d be happy with that. But not anymore: In Washington D.C. - on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Observatory - there’s a concrete building that houses ...read more

    A Place In The Son Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 10, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,191 views

    What is heaven like, and why would I want to go there?

    A young boy would often go home from his friend’s house at night and - because it was the shortest route – he’d always walk thru the cemetery. When he was asked if he was ever afraid of going thru the graveyard at night he responded “No. My home is just on the other side.” He wasn’t afraid ...read more

    Grow Like A Palm Tree Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,737 views

    God places a great deal of emphasis on us growing in our faith and bearing fruit. But why? What difference would it make if we did?

    OPEN: There’s a story about a little boy who had a special hiding place in the back yard. It was an old fruit tree. It had lots of leaves, but it hadn’t produced fruit in years, but the little boy didn’t care. He’d climb up in those branches, and hide amongst the leaves, and for hours he’d pretend ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,758 views

    God calls us to be pure, but is that possible?

    The Bible passage we just read is the verse that our older youth uses to identify themselves. They call themselves the 412 Youth Group (because of I Timothy 4:12) and essentially, they use that verse to declare that they want to be used by God, and they don’t want their AGE to get in the way of ...read more

    The Blue Waters Of Baptism Series

     | 724 views

    Have you seen the bracelets with colored beads that people use to share their faith? What does the blue stand for and what does it encourage us to do? Check out this message from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    I think every preacher has at least one funny baptism story they can share. Here’s mine. When Elizabeth was 7 years old, she convinced us that she was ready to commit her life to Jesus and be baptized. We knew she understood what she was doing when she told us she was praying for God to give her a ...read more

    A Blood Donor Saved My Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 11, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,172 views

    What does the blood of Christ do for us, and why is it such a powerful tool for God to use for fixing our broken lives?

    The American Red Cross in Oklahoma had this interesting poster sent to churches: "I gave my blood. Christ gave his. I gave a pint. He gave all. The needle is small, sharp. The nails were large, dull. The table - soft, restful. The cross - rough, painful. The nurses - kind, gentle. The soldiers ...read more

    The Black Of Sin Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 6, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,959 views

    I couldn't find a scripture that equated sin or iniquity with the color black (a color of bead used in the popular "witness bracelet"). But the Bible does talk about sin as a "deep darkness" and that description has powerful implications for Christians.

    It was a dark, dark night. A man was making his way home from working late, and as he often did, he walked home through a cemetery because it was a quicker route. However, because it was so dark, he didn’t notice a new grave had been dug in his path, and he tumbled into a 7 foot deep hole in the ...read more

    A Sermon To Die For Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,601 views

    Eutychus fell asleep during church... and he woke up dead. Why was Eutychus at church that night, and what can we learn from his experience?

    Someone once noted that falling asleep has often had unforeseen consequences. Adam fell asleep and woke up married and missing a rib! Samson fell asleep and woke up bald and beaten! Jonah fell asleep in the boat and woke up wet! Eutychus fell asleep and he woke up dead! Like Eutychus, people ...read more

    The Bones Of Elisha Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 22, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,379 views

    Elisha was a powerful prophet for God, but at the end of his life he gave gifts to two men that can help us learn how to tell others about Jesus.

    A little girl had just finished her first week of school and she complained to her mother. She said: “I’m WASTING my time. I can’t read, I can’t write—and they won’t let me talk!” That little girl was upset that she was wasting her time! And the question I want you to consider this morning ...read more

    The Day The Sun Stood Still Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,147 views

    Did the Sun really stand still at Joshua's command? And if it did, what can that teach us about God's plans and faithfulness for us?

    A woman died and went to heaven, and when she passed thru the pearly gates, she noted that there were boxes over in the corner that had her name on them. That made her curious so she asked an angel about them. The angel replied: “It is God’s command that whenever we receive a prayer request, an ...read more
