    Are You Prepared For The Battle?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,926 views

    We need to be aware of the spiritual battle that takes place every time we pray.

    In January 1944, the US army created the ghost army. Their purpose was to trick the forces of Nazi Germany about the size and location of the allied forces. The ghost army would inflate rubber tanks, jeeps, trucks, and all other kinds of armaments and camouflage them so well that Nazi air patrols ...read more

    Confession - Is It A Good Thing?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2023
     | 748 views

    This message is worded to help understand the importance of confession in regards to our relationship with God.

    Today, let’s talk a bit about confession. Is it a good thing? What is your favorite place to hide when you don’t want to be found? Do you remember when you were little playing hide and seek? Have you ever watched a small child play hide and seek? The small ones are usually not really good at ...read more

    Courageous

    Just like the runners in the Boston marathon, Christians should expect that there will be, at some point, opposition that will test us—our endurance, perseverance, and our principles.

    Has anyone here this morning ever ran a marathon? A marathon is always measured at 26.2 Miles. Have you ever heard of heartbreak hill? In the Boston Marathon, at mile 20, the runners come to what is called heartbreak Hill. Heartbreak Hill is the final incline of the Boston marathon. Even though ...read more

    Man's Eyes Are Opened Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2023
     | 1,291 views

    Jesus is the perfect revelation of God and man’s spiritual eyes can be opened to see God but only through Jesus. Apart from Jesus, no man will ever see God.

    Tonight, we look at John 9 concerning the opening of man’s eyes. Man is spiritually blind, and our eyes need to be opened. The mission of Jesus is to open our eyes. In tonight’s passage, Jesus takes a man’s physical blindness and demonstrates the stages of spiritual insight and sight. By ...read more

    Always Speak The Truth

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 2, 2023
     | 563 views

    Today we're going to use the Book of Daniel once again, chapter 5, to talk about always speaking the truth.

    Do you ever hesitate to tell the truth? Sometimes we do because we figure it would cause less of a disturbance if we just kept our mouth shut. Sometimes speaking the truth in love is not so easy to do. For instance, you have a good friend and you see your friend wearing a t-shirt that says ...read more

    Passionate Prayer

    We have access to resources far more powerful than the internet. Yet, we choose instead to trust our wisdom and our ability.

    Technology can be an amazing instrument when we need help. I needed to install a new cabin filter in my car and I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. So, I searched YouTube and it gave me step by step instructions of how to do it. Through the internet, we have pretty much a direct line to ...read more

    Man's Escape From Death Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 19, 2023
     | 604 views

    There is a sure way to escape death. Jesus makes it clear how.

    In v. 51 of our passage tonight, Jesus makes an astounding claim—a person doesn’t have to die. We can all escape death. We, as Christians, know what Jesus meant by this, but the world doesn’t understand. It’s up to us to show them what Jesus meant. READ v. 48-50. I guess since Jesus has just ...read more

    Conviction - How Strong Is Yours?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 13, 2023
     | 1,307 views

    In the Bible, through his actions and prayers, Daniel gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to live unashamed in a culture that sees no need to live righteously and obediently for God's glory.

    We live in a culture that's becoming more and more antagonistic toward anyone who follows Christ. In the Bible, through his actions and prayers, Daniel gives us a powerful example of what it looks like to live unashamed in a culture that sees no need to live righteously and obediently for ...read more

    This passage shatters man’s concept of himself, but it’s a passage that has to be studied very carefully because it is one of the shocking truths revealed by Jesus.

    READ passage. This passage shatters man’s concept of himself, but it’s a passage that has to be studied very carefully because it is one of the shocking truths revealed by Jesus. Depravity means that a person is always short of God’s glory, and is always coming short of God, and is always ...read more

    Stand Strong

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 29, 2023
     | 1,672 views

    Our battle against the devil is a spiritual battle, but God equips us with what we need. God strengthens us as we make use of the resources He has already provided us that Paul calls the full armor of God.

    We have several in our church family that have served our country in the military. For all of you that have served, you know how important it is to be trained for battle. During the closing months of World War II, Nazi Germany became so desperate that they initiated the Volksturm, the people's ...read more

    Recovering From Temptation

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023
     | 737 views

    The message given to us in Psalm 32 is that there is greater joy in uncovering our sin and finding forgiveness than in trying to cover up our sin. And a right view of God allows us to do just that.

    Anyone who has ever purchased a home knows that there is a big difference in what the buyer or the seller sees and what a certified home inspector sees. We may try to look beyond the things that appeal to us like the layout of the house, the size of the bedrooms, and so forth, and see a crack in a ...read more

    Man's Enslavement To Sin Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 23, 2023
     | 606 views

    Prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others are bad qualities that separate us from God. If we have any of these bad qualities, then we are not abiding in God’s Word.

    Jesus is talking with the Pharisees. He has just said in v. 32 – “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” We ended last time talking about how we are bound by our sins. We talked specifically about prejudice, hate, unforgiveness, loneliness and others. And we said that if we ...read more

    Putting Things Before God

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 15, 2023
     | 1,196 views

    Jesus was tempted to exalt Himself in a way that was not right. Today we're going to talk a little bit about exalting ourselves above God or putting something else before God.

    If you don't toot your own horn, who will? Have you ever heard that before? Let's face it, we really enjoy those moments when good things happen to us. We feel good when we've accomplished something. And with those good experiences, we naturally want to tell others about it. ...read more

    Failure To Understand The Light

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 14, 2023
     | 564 views

    So, with all these claims that Jesus has made, we find that people of every generation blurt out the same question, “Who are you?” Well, Jesus answers that question.

    Tonight, we continue with Jesus’ discussion with the Pharisees. READ v. 25. Man asks a very basic question. Now Jesus had just made a phenomenal claim that He was the Light of the world. Of course, His claim shocked the Pharisees as well as others. And when you recap what Jesus had told these ...read more

    God puts us through tests at times to strengthen our faith. But have you ever been tempted to test God?

    A few weeks ago we talked about how God puts us through tests at times to strengthen our faith. But have you ever been tempted to test God? I came across this story about a little boy that tested God. It was on the first day of elementary school. New central air conditioning units had finally ...read more
