    "who Do You Think You Are?" Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 15, 2021
     | 1,989 views

    Jesus criticized the Pharisees for their inability to discern the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). The signs of our times seem to be indicating an increasing hostility toward Christianity, which has lost its place as the nation’s primary guiding ethic.

    You can run but you can’t hide. That’s certainly true today, amen? They not only know where you live and work, but probably know what kind of car you drive, when you take a shower, what’s your favorite flavor of ice cream or your favorite show on TV, what station you listen to in the car. They ...read more

    "we Are Judged By The Company We Keep"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 11, 2021
     | 3,330 views

    A sermon about loving people into the Kingdom.

    “We are Judged by the Company We Keep” Matthew 9:9-13 Imagine, if you will, inviting the most reviled, hated, person in your town or city to hang out with you. Imagine there being a person that all your friends hate—despise—wouldn’t be seen giving the time of day to… …and then imagine that YOU ...read more

    Inclusion Is What We Need, Not Power Hungry People

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 11, 2021
     | 1,622 views

    Jesus rebuked His disciples because they wanted to keep the power of healing for themselves. This is happening in church today even though Jesus said it is wrong!

    I think that it is sad that when I read this narrative, it made me think about the control the church has held over people for almost 2000 years. The church used only one verse, thus out of context, to control people. Catholics could not own a Bible until 1964 CE. The idea that a person has to ...read more

    Passing Through Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 8, 2021
     | 3,124 views

    The "crisis" at the border is not a Republican or Democrat problem, a conservative or liberal, progressive or libertarian problem … it is a “human” problem … and my goal today is to get you to stop thinking of this as a political issue and start looking at it from a Christian perspective.

    Since this service started, 60 immigrants have showed up at our southern border. By the end of this service, 190 more will have joined them. Roughly 250 people show up at our southern border every day in the hopes of either legally or illegally entering our country. We have a big problem. ...read more

    All Lives Matter

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 3, 2021
     | 1,217 views

    We can learn how to treat one another by the example of how Jesus dealt with children. Jesus dealt with children in an anticultural manner.

    To fully interpret and understand Jesus' words, one must understand the culture in which he lived. Children were treated differently than they are today. That does not mean that parents did not love their children as much as parents do today. Parents loved their children because they were ...read more

    "healthy Eyes"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 2, 2021
     | 2,204 views

    A sermon about giving ourselves for the sake of God and others.

    “The Healthy Eye” Matthew 6:22-23 As many of you know, this church has operated a ministry called “Safe House” since the year 2001. It has been a labor…and I mean LABOR of LOVE. It is an incredibly self-less and generous ministry. And one reason for this is that it serves some of the most ...read more

    How Do You Boil A Frog? Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 1, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,754 views

    How do you boil a society? How do you boil a whole nation? Paul knew the recipe or formula two thousand years ago and he spelled it out very clearly in his letter to the Christian community in Rome.

    We live in an amazing time, don’t we? We have laptop computers that are literally thousands of times more powerful than the room-sized computers we used to put a man on the moon – actually, 12 men have walked on the surface of the moon … so far. The computer which landed Apollo 11 on the Moon ...read more

    "congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021
     | 3,511 views

    God continues to look for women and men like Mary and Joseph. People who will pursue obedience, whatever the cost. People who will trust God – even though the outcome seems unsure. God continues to raise up people for His purposes.

    When I first proposed doing this, I know that it struck a lot of you … well, probably all of you … as something odd … out of the ordinary. When it came time, you weren’t sure what to do. Do we put up our traditional Christmas decorations? And, again, I’m sure that you found my answer a bit odd … ...read more

    "bread Beyond Bread"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jul 21, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,276 views

    A sermon about making the decision to believe.

    “Bread Beyond Bread” John 6:24-35 I have read that in 19th Century China, and perhaps all over Asia, there was a name given for people who came to church for one reason and one reason only—because they were hungry for material food. They converted to Christianity, were baptized, joined the ...read more

    Faith And Prayer

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 20, 2021
     | 2,519 views

    Why are some prayers answered while others are not? It has to do with materialism vs. spirituality.

    Faith and Prayer Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:14-29 14 When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them. 15 Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him. 16 And He asked them, ...read more

    What Did The Angels Think Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 18, 2021
     | 1,447 views

    What did the angels think about God taking on flesh and coming into His creation as a weak, helpless baby? Why would God do such a thing for these … these pathetic, corrupt creatures?

    If you remember, last week we took a little trip back in time … to that night in Bethlehem. Let’s picture that night once again. Bethlehem asleep under the stars … the shepherds out in the fields … the quiet punctuated by the occasional bleating of sheep. To the rest of the world … from the ...read more

    Your Transfiguration For Jesus

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 13, 2021
     | 2,212 views

    Transfiguration represents a change. Therefore, what changes did you make in your life when you became a disciple. Or what changes do you still need to make?

    Your Transfiguration for Jesus Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 9:1-13 Mark 9:1 And Jesus was saying to them, "Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power." Mark 9:2 Six ...read more

     | 2,721 views

    A sermon about the hard work of forgiveness.

    “Choosing to Forgive” Matthew 18:21-35 Ever have one of those days, months or years when nothing seems to go right? I mean, it’s like, no matter what you do somebody is mad at you. And you really are trying as hard as you can, but it only seems to make things worse. What do you ...read more

    Christmas Significa Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 11, 2021
     | 2,653 views

    The real beauty and power of Christmas is how it is as mundane as it is holy, secular as it is sacred, temporal as it is eternal, physical as it is spiritual, worldly as it is heavenly … and this is by design.

    Today’s scripture reading reminds me of Christmas hymns like “Angles We Have Heard on High” in which the angels “sweetly sing o’er the plans” (UMH, verse 1; p.238) or “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” … “glory to the newborn King” (UMH, verse 1; p. 240). Songs like these beautifully capture the drama ...read more

    "learning To Become A Little Child"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Jul 7, 2021
     | 3,522 views

    A sermon about learning how to follow Jesus by watching the nature of children.

    “Learning to Become Little Children” Matthew 18:1-4 (The main thrust of this sermon is taken from a podcast by Marty Solomon) When I became a parent and Mary Ellen came out of her infancy and was becoming a toddler I started seeing all sorts of new things. It was like I was getting a glimpse of ...read more
