    “God’s Designated Storehouse” Malachi 3:6-12 Although Mosaic Law remained in effect for 15 centuries, from the time of Moses to the time of Christ’s death at Calvary, the people often ignored, defied, or buried it.

  • Memory And Endurance

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 9, 2021
     | 1,595 views

    Sin holds people in the prison of guilt. Although they might be physically, spiritually they are prisoners to what John Wesley once referred to as “the power and guilt of sin”.

    MEMORY AND ENDURANCE (October 13, 2019) Text: II Timothy 2:8 -15 2Ti 2:8-15  Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, a descendant of David—that is my gospel,  (9)  for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not ...read more

  • Everything She Had: A Life That Matters Series

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Nov 6, 2021
     | 2,497 views

    The first attribute of a life that matters that we will examine in this series of sermons this month is generosity. Generosity, as reflected in our gospel text this week, is about how we hold the stuff of this life lightly, even as we hold people and Christ tightly.

    A well-known hymn that captures this idea of generosity is “Take My Life, and Let It Be,” 399 in The United Methodist Hymnal. The middle verse often catches us singing with our fingers crossed: “Take my silver and my gold; not a mite would I withhold.” In this text of the widow’s mite, we need to ...read more

     | 1,964 views

    Ruth had lost everything. But, not all hope was lost because God’s blessing was at work behind the scenes. Ruth was asking Boaz to fulfill her request to be a “Kinsman Redeemer”.

    FAITH, LOYALTY and HONOR Text: Ruth 3:1- 5, 4:13 - 17 Ruth 3:1-5  Then Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, should I not seek rest for you, that it may be well with you?  (2)  Is not Boaz our relative, with whose young women you were? See, he is winnowing barley ...read more

  • Strength In Relationships (Version 2: October 31, 2021 Used As An All Saints Day Sermon)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021
     | 2,444 views

    What would have happened if Naomi and Ruth would have gone their separate ways because they were widows? What happens when we withdraw, throw our hands up and quit? What will happen if we stop meeting together to encourage one another?

    STRENGTH IN RELATIONSHIPS Text: Ruth 1:1 – 18 Ruth 1:1-18  In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and two sons.  (2)  The name of the man was Elimelech and ...read more

  • The Fruits Of The Spirit (June 30, 2013)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021
     | 2,312 views

    Someone once asked a question that I am sure that we could all relate to given that it has happened to you. Does our lifestyle illustrate a walk that bears God’s name?

    THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT Text: Galatians 5:1, 13-26 Galatians 5:1 - Galatians 5:13 -26  For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.  (13)  For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do ...read more

  • The Practice Of Loving Our Enemies (May 22, 2013)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021
     | 1,369 views

    We as Christians should exhibit Christian behavior, which cannot be done without the help of Christ. Turning the other cheek is easier said than done.

    THE PRACTICE OF LOVING OUR ENEMIES Text: Matthew 5:38 - 48 Matthew 5:38-48  "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'  (39)  But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the ...read more

  • Bridge Builders (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday After Epiphany)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 4, 2021
     | 1,720 views

    What is a priest? One way to think about what a priest does is to compare them to being a bridge builder. Why that analogy? A bridge connects pieces of land that are geographically separated, much like a priest helps people connect with God.

    BRIDGE BUILDERS (January 14, 2018 Second Sunday after Epiphany) Text: I Samuel 3:1-10 1 Samuel 3:1-10  Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the LORD under Eli. The word of the LORD was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.  (2)  At that time Eli, whose eyesight had ...read more

  • Why Are You Cooking Chili?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Nov 2, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,238 views

    How many events and programs does the church hold that do NOT make disciples for Christ? Resources should be directed to the mission - making disciples for Christ.

    Why are you cooking chili? Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 11:15-19 The Temple leaders allowed vendors to set up inside the Temple. A good question for that time would have been why did the Temple authorities allow the money changers and vendors into the outer court. The merchants could have ...read more

  • Open Wide And Say 'ah-H-H-Men!' Series

     | 2,239 views

    Imagine sitting in the waiting room at your doctor’s office and he comes in with a very serious look on his face. “God must be really, really mad at you because you have cancer.” That was David’s reaction when he came down with a serious illness.

    Imagine sitting in the waiting room at your doctor’s office and he comes in … with a very serious look on his face. “God must be really, really mad at you because you have cancer.” That was David’s reaction when he came down with a serious illness. “O LORD, do not rebuke me in Your anger, or ...read more

  • The Power Of Prayer Series

    Contributed by Julia Cramer on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,072 views

    Prayer - the whisper of the soul, has four dimensions. The mystery of Prayer connects us to God; it is the glue that fastens our heart to God and focuses our mind on Him. Prayer is the breath of the soul in sync with the song of the Savior.

    How many of you are inspired by Art? Motivated by music? Stirred by a poem? Touched by colors, patterns, and designs? Moved by nature? Changed by Relationships? In a very similar way – we should be inspired, motivated, stirred, touched, moved, and changed by our Prayer Life. Prayer – The ...read more

  • Blessings And Judgements – The Symbolism Of The Fig Tree

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 26, 2021
     | 2,284 views

    The fig tree event as Jesus walked to Jerusalem can be viewed allegorically as the balance between blessings and judgment. The FRUIT is the blessings and we certainly can always use blessings.

    Blessings and Judgements – The Symbolism of the Fig Tree Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 11:12-14 12 On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry. 13 Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found ...read more

  • Funeral Sermon Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 25, 2021
     | 8,295 views

    “I am the resurrection and the life. ... everyone who lives and believes in me will never die” (John 11:25). Martha believed it ... and I hope and pray that when the New Jerusalem is ready and Jesus commands all who believe in Him to awaken from their sleep that you are there too, amen?

    Jesus was on His way to Jerusalem … to die … when He received word that His friend, Lazarus, was sick. Jesus’ reaction was strange. He didn’t rush off to Bethany to heal His friend. “This illness does not lead to death,” says Jesus, “rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be ...read more
