    Building God's Kingdom Requires Action

    Building God’s Kingdom Requires Action 1st Corinthians 4:20 (NLT) For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power. Romans 14:17-18 (NLT) For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ...read more

    Paul Deflates Some Ego's Series

     | 1,627 views

    This is the 6th message of a series on First Corinthians. In this sermon we're looking at how Paul addresses the Corinthians who had wrongly believed they were more spiritual than others, and gives us the means to combat pride.

    Corinthians Series (Part Six) Text: 1 Corinthians 4:1-21 We are back in Corinthians today, and I’m glad, so that we can get back into these lessons for the Church. We’ve got this Sunday, and four in March, and then we’ll do a Palm Sunday service, and Resurrection Sunday service. And I want to ...read more

    Kingdom Keys - Judges Series

    If the book was written to show us of how Israel fell into a terrible cycle of disobedience, repentance, oppression so decadent that it would need a deliver, we must be willing to admit our need for the same.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    Who Should Consider Leading? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,457 views

    Presumption says God’s timing or His knowledge is insufficient and I’ve got to do something to fix the problem. But there is another form of pride… DESPAIR. Despair says waiting on God is a fool’s wait. God will not fulfill His promises.

    Conformity To The Cross Series

     | 2,444 views

    The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

    It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more

    The Message And The Messenger

    Corinth was split over leaders because they misunderstood both the message and the messenger. Paul resets the standards in 1 Corinthians 4.

    The Divided Corinthian Church Before we dive into Scripture, I'd first like to provide some context to where we find ourselves as we begin 1 Corinthians 4. My primary goal for anyone reading this is for you to learn God’s Word. So we start with the context of where we’re about to study, chapter ...read more

    This MESSAGE SERIES is focusing on the topic of stewardship. Today in Message #2, we are going to look at 3 foundational PRINCIPLES OF STEWARDSHIP that are found in the parable of the Talents found in Matthew 25:14-30.

    Matthew 25:14-30- “For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. 15 And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. 16 ...read more

    We can talk about what God means to our lives all we want, but the real proof is found in Jesus’ Lordship over our finances.

    The Danger Of Pride

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 7, 2025
     | 700 views

    Whenever we accomplish something good, it is only natural to have a positive emotional reaction. There is nothing wrong with celebrating an achievement, but there is a darker side to pride that can be ugly.

    Warning!!

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2025
     | 715 views

    Many warnings are ridiculous, but there are also many that, if heeded, could save our lives. Like taking cover when a tornado hits, or turning around when the bridge is out. There are other warnings that are very important as well, and if not heeded will cause lasting hurt to our spiritual lives.

    Alba 4-13-2025 WARNING!! I Corinthians 4:14-21 If there is danger ahead, it is good to have a warning. And it is wise to pay attention to the warning, whether it is a tornado siren, or a sign that says “Bridge Out”. But some warnings are worthless, ridiculous really, almost a joke. For ...read more

     | 2,012 views

    In the Bible, God tells us that WE have ‘role models’ too. In 2 Thessalonians 3:9 Paul says that he & his friends made an effort to be “models for you to follow.” And Paul repeated that idea many times for those early Christians:

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 126 views

    Farewell until we meet again. Today we think about the closing remarks in Peter’s first letter as we open up the final three verses. The end of a letter usually states the last important thoughts of the writer he wishes to convey to the readers. We look at that. May God bless us all.

    Paul said the kingdom of God isn’t in word, but power. The Kingdom of God is where the Kingdom is being manifested in people’s lives that are being changed and brought into alignment with God. This Sunday we’ll look what this power is and isn’t.
