    Persevere For Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 22, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 886 views

    As a Christian, what would you do if Jesus came to your door? What would you do with Him? Hebrews 12 addresses that issue by telling us things we could do honor Jesus if He knocked on our door and asked to come in.

    OPEN: Back in the 1960s the Beetles were becoming international sensation. Paul McCartney (who became the lead singer for the group) soon learned the downside of fame, as many people would just “drop by” his home and want to visit with him. Not only was it annoying, but he soon realized that many ...read more

    Did God Really Say? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 14, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,403 views

    Satan's strategy is to get us to doubt God's words, and to trust his. How does he do that, and how can we be prepared to protect ourselves from his deception?

    You know the story - way back in the days of Adam and Eve, Satan slithered up to Eve and he asked a very simple question: “DID GOD REALLY SAY?” The question seemed innocent enough - BUT it was intended to plant a doubt in Eve’s mind. “DID GOD REALLY SAY?”, Satan said … and it worked. If Satan ...read more

    The Christian Apprentice Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,003 views

    Jesus viewed the church as being made up of one of 3 types of people. Which one are you? Are you a non-Christian, an Apprentice, or a Mentor training apprentices?

    Back in the 1930s, Radio was King, and TV hadn’t caught on yet. Radio was the main way people got news and entertainment. I remember my dad telling me about my grandfather. Granddad loved the Lone Ranger, and he would get off the tractor and run to the house when that show came on so that he ...read more

    The Secret To Inner Peace Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,950 views

    The world thinks that if they could just change their circumstances, they could avoid stress and worry... and could have the peace they crave. But Jesus said that won't work. In this world we are guaranteed to have trouble. But Jesus promises us a peace that the world cannot give.

    This is the last in our sermon series - entitled “One Thing”. We’ve been focusing on ONE WORD in Scripture that sums up a basic Bible truth, and today’s word is PEACE. Jesus said “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,584 views

    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

    Unity Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 13, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,401 views

    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

    Life-Giving Grace Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 910 views

    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 Shall We Do? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 31, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,574 views

    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

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 24, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,124 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

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 16, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,088 views

    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

    The Power Of The Holy Spirit Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 11, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,849 views

    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

    Joy To The World Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 27, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 990 views

    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

    Christmas Eve - What Do You Want For Christmas? Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 454 views

    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
