    A Faith That Endures Series

     | 6,932 views

    If you're struggling with your faith, not sure who to believe, not sure if you believe in Jesus, then you're struggling with obedience

    Have you been in a situation, or a circumstance, or has something happened to you or your family and you just wonder how you’re going to get through it? I often wonder about what the followers of Jesus thought as they fled into the night when he was arrested and executed. They must have ...read more

    Are You In Step With God?

    Contributed by Juan P Barrientez Jr. on Jun 15, 2014
     | 6,315 views

    This message paints a picture of what it looks like to walk with God.

    Are you In Step with God? 1 John 1:5-10 (NKJV) 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in ...read more

    A Perfect Heart

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 25, 2014

    Perfection does not mean a sinless, flawless heart. Man judges by outward appearances, by what he sees. But God judges the heart; the unseen motives. David was said to have had a perfect heart toward God "all the days of his life," yet he failed the Lord.

    11-18-04 A Perfect Heart It is possible to walk before the Lord with a perfect heart! God said to Abraham, "I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect" (Genesis 17:1). God also said to the children of Israel, "Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord your God" (Deuteronomy 18:13). David ...read more

    Honesty - Silence Is Not Always Golden

    Contributed by Jeff Riedel on Jul 2, 2014
     | 10,075 views

    Seeking God and having the ultimate relationship with Him requires complete honesty. Covering our faults and failures is no good to anyone. This message challenges the hearer to examine how honest he/she is with the Lord, himself and others.

    SERMON: The next person, after hearing this message, who tells a lie, no matter how big or small.....will fall over immediately and die. Ok maybe not, but hey, It could happen you know. Wait, it did happen.... Wait....it does happen......Wait.....it happens all the time. More on that in a ...read more

    Blinded By Darkness

    Contributed by Mike Reed on Jul 4, 2014
     | 9,482 views

    We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

    “BLINDED BY DARKNESS” Rev. Mike Reed, Winter Haven, Florida March 2014 1 John 2:9-11 1 John 2:14 Psalm 112:4 Proverbs 4:18-20 John 8:12 Luke 11:34-35 Psalm 18:28 1 Peter 2:9-10 1 John 2:9-11, 14 (New Living Translation) 9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but ...read more

    Robert Lewis Stephenson the writer of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde said ”I find that there is always a struggle with the "Beast That Lives Within Me." C.S. Lewis put it this way: “No man knows how bad he is until he has tried to be good.” Updated June 2025.

    How does one come to faith in Christ. And just what is saving faith?

    Saving Knowledge I John 2:1-6 Introduction Last week, we talked about our relationship we have in Jesus Christ in terms of light and darkness. Our fellowship with the Father requires us to be pure light without any dark spot. And we all too well know that this makes any fellowship with the Father ...read more

    The Truth Hurts, But There's Help I John 1:5-10 Introduction Last week, we saw the importance of grounding our faith in Jesus who is both God and human. John wanted us to know that he witnessed with his eyes, ears, and hand the earthly Jesus. This experience had forever changed John, and now he ...read more

    We who claim to be Christians must be sure they are on the true path.

    The Christian Walk 1 John 2:7-14 Introduction Last week we learned that sin is not normal in the Christian. The Christian’s sin does not affect just that person, but the entire body of Christ. We saw from the plural "we have an advocate" that there has to at least be a sense in which the ...read more

    A sermon to encourage people to think about their future beyond this life.

    "Living a Life that Lasts" 1 John 2:17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but ...read more

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Sep 22, 2013

    The sin of an Achen heart will deafen us, blind us to danger, lead us to sin, and bring shame and destruction to ourselves and others.

    I was 18 years old when I stole my first and only item. I was a bagger at a local grocery store. The store had some small battery operated record players that played 45s. (For those too young to remember what 45s were, they looked like bid CDs with a hole in the middle.) Many of the record players ...read more

    This sermon looks at three aspects of God’s forgiveness: 1. I need to ask for it. 2. I need to trust in it. 3. I need to walk in it.

    GOD’S FORGIVING GRACE The defendant sat in the courtroom as the charges were read. It was a long list of charges.

    At salvation, we were called out of darkness into light. Every believer is to walk in a new life as directed by the Spirit of God, and not in sinful pleasures as demanded by the flesh.

    WALKING IN THE LIGHT Study Text: 1 John 1: 5 - 7 Introduction: - Believers in Christ are instructed and expected to be walking in the light and not walking in darkness.
