The Cross

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Sep 25, 2022

The message of the cross is a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are being saved it is the wisdom of God. Do we have a "cross centered" view today?

THE CROSS Text: 1 Corinthians 1:17-25, 1 Corinthians 2:1-6 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING I love studying God’s Word. I absolutely love it. I would rather study God’s Word than watch football or go to a UFC fight, which is saying a lot, because I enjoy both of those things. I would rather ...read more

My Message Is All About God Series

Contributed by David Owens on Jan 10, 2022

If we are not careful, we can get in the way of sharing the good news about Jesus and begin to make the message about us. But our message and our ministry must be all about Him and not about us. We must lift Him up, and He will draw people to Himself.

One of the church members greeted him on the way out and said, “Very interesting sermon, Preacher, I never expected to learn so much from a ...read more

Two Types Of Evangelism (1 Corinthians 2:1-15) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 23, 2022

Comparing and contrasting friendship evangelism, with power evangelism. Also, Spirit wisdom, vs. human wisdom.

I'm finding it impossible when working in 1 Corinthians to offer you any kind of introduction each week. There's something about reflecting on human wisdom, and Spirit wisdom, and Paul's criticism of human eloquence and rhetorical nicety that just stifles that. This week, in ...read more

Delighting In Our Weaknesses

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Feb 7, 2021

'Delighting in our weaknesses, really?' Yes, really. Last week we looked at how Paul learned the secret to contentment. As we needed to learn the secret to contentment, we also need to learn the secret to delighting in our weaknesses.

DELIGHTING IN OUR WEAKNESSES 2nd Cor. 12:7-10 Last week I mentioned that my sermon title, Being Content During Covid, probably caused you to think, 'he can't be serious'. Well, you might have the same reaction to today's sermon title. 'Delighting in our weaknesses, really?' ...read more

Boasting In The Cross

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

By the resurrection Jesus overcame sin and death; but the cross is where He made atonement for sin. It was the cross in which Paul boasted, and the cross was central to his missions and preaching; therefore, it should be important to us.

In Galatians 6:14, the apostle Paul declared, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The resurrection is the power behind the Christian’s faith, for it was by the resurrection that Jesus ...read more
