  • Grow Like A Palm Tree Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 4, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,683 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

  • Snow White Series

    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

    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

     | 1,658 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
     | 1,455 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

    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

    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

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 14, 2025
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,648 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

  • And The Walls Came Tumbling Down. Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,103 views

    Did the walls of Jericho fall just the way Scripture says? And, if they did, what can this story mean to us?

    (SING) “Joshua fit the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho and the walls came tumbling down. VERSE: You can talk about the men of Gideon, you can talk about old King Saul. But there's none like good old Joshua at the battle of Jericho.” Jericho is commonly ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,371 views

    The crossing of the Jordan by Israel to enter the Promised Land is an intriguing story. But what can it mean to us?

    Back in the 1920’s the US Govt began talking about controlling the flooding of a river in the West called the Colorado. They intended to build the largest dam ever constructed in the US, and they also wanted this dam to supply electricity and a stable water supply to the growing population in the ...read more

  • Saved By A Donkey Series

     | 1,999 views

    God used a donkey to get Balaam's attention and open his eyes to the dangerous path he was traveling. What can we learn from this event to ensure we stay focused on our walk with God? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    We’re starting a new series this morning- Wild & Wacky Totally True Bible Stories.

  • Sitting Around The Campfire Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,862 views

    God invited Moses to a campfire (a burning bush), but there was more in that meeting between God and Moses than you'd think.

    (The only lights in the sanctuary were those on stage, an there was a graphic of a burning campfire flickering on the screens) This morning we’re going to be worshipping around a campfire - and since the Elders wouldn’t let me burn an actual fire on stage, you’ll just have to put up with this ...read more

  • Hiking Trail Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,993 views

    God tells us to seek out the "ancient paths" and walk in it. Why should we want to to do that... and what would it look like if we managed to do it?

    A few years ago one of my son’s favorite TV shows was “Man vs. Wild”. It featured a guy named Bear Grylls and it was a sort of reality show where this man would be dropped off in an isolated area carrying a knife, a water bottle, some flint (to start a campfire), a waterproof bag, a multi-purpose ...read more

    Isaiah said that "the Branch" (the Messiah) would be our shelter and refuge. What does that mean, and what difference could it make to how we live our lives?

    The year was 1777. A British army of 13,000 men marched on Philadelphia, and the American Congress had fled the city. The Continental army fought valiantly to hold back their enemy, but they were outflanked and outfought and eventually the English took the city. But before the Philadelphia was ...read more

    David wrote that God's word is the lamp for our feet and the light for our path. What does this mean and how do we put that to use in our lives? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    The alphabet has always been foundational to learning. If you’ve ever watched The Sound of Music, you probably remember the scene where Maria is teaching the children to sing. She tells them, “Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read, you begin with A B ...read more
