    A sermon about the journey of new life in Christ.

    John 3:1–17 “The Courage to Begin Again” Lent often invites us into wilderness places—those inner places where our assumptions loosen, our certainties wobble, and something new tries to take root. Today’s Gospel Lesson brings us into a different kind of wilderness: not a desert, but a quiet ...read more

  • Three Crosses At Calvary

    Contributed by Owen Bourgaize on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 1,797 ratings
     | 185 views today

    Calvary was the place of Three Crosses - of Rebellion, of Repentance and of Redemption - and the choice is ours.

    The Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ is the corner stone of our faith. It is the chosen symbol of the Christian faith. Thank God, we see it now as an empty cross because the seeming tragedy for good and apparent victory for evil was overturned by the power and purposes of God into the triumph of the ...read more

  • The Three R's Of Death

    Contributed by David Gant on Dec 31, 2005
    based on 587 ratings
     | 108 views today

    This is a funeral service I have used several times, most recently in the situation where I doubted the salvation of the individual, and the family was mixed with believers and unbelivers. It is a way to honor the individual, but still present the gospel

    THE “3 R’S OF DEATH” In school, we used to refer to the importance of learning “The 3 R’s” – and of course we meant “Read’n, writ’n, and rithmatic…” As we gather here today – not to mourn the death of Wayne Thompson, but rather to celebrate his life and all it has meant to those that have ...read more

  • Lost In The Dark Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 27, 2026
     | 61 views

    Nicodemus was a man who was lost because he depended upon finding truth based on his own signpost. What was his mistake in talking with Jesus?

    There is a tiny village in NE Scotland named… “LOST.” It’s a quaint village where the sign posts dutifully point the way to “Lost”, and the signs have become a popular tourist attraction. Many people have had their picture taken as they posed underneath that single word “LOST” and they posed ...read more

  • Getting Faith By Fasting Day-Nine Devotional

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Feb 27, 2026
     | 5 views

    What makes faith great; it’s not the strength of your faith, it’s the strength of the God in whom you put your faith.

    The Daniel Fast is a faith vow. Daniel began his 10-day fast with a statement of faith that God would hear and answer. In Mark 11:22, Jesus exhorts us to, “have faith in God.” Now faith can be nebulous because it’s hard to measure. The faith of our hearts shows strong belief in God, strong ...read more

    OPENING SLIDE INTRODUCTION • This is week four of our five-week series. • This is Week 4's energy. • Tension is rising. • Opposition is tightening. • The cross is closer. • Have you ever noticed that the most dangerous person in any system is the one who cannot be controlled? • Not the ...read more

  • Prevailing Prayer Day -Eight Devotional

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Feb 27, 2026
     | 13 views

    Prevailing prayer is prayer that pushes right through all difficulties and obstacles.

    There are so many distractions in modern life that keep us from praying. There are the cell phones, tweets, Facebook, television at home, and the radio in the car. These are all good things, but they can keep us from praying. How can we listen to God when so many voices demand our attention? How ...read more

  • Praying Alone Day-Six Devotional

    Contributed by Elmer Towns on Feb 27, 2026
     | 6 views

    Talking to God, you may be alone, but you are never lonely.

    You have made a vow to fast and pray for 10 days for God to intervene in the coming national election. Many times you will pray alone in your quiet place. In the last devotional, you learned the strength of corporate prayer. Which way is best to pray? Privately or with a group? Technically, both ...read more
