     | 10,109 views

    Choose to love and receive God's assurance to your heart, God's answer to your prayer, and God's abiding presence in your life.

    A young bride to be was very nervous on the day before her wedding, so she went to speak with her pastor. “I'm afraid I might not make it through the ceremony properly,” she confessed. The pastor assured her that everything would be fine: “When you enter the church tomorrow and the ...read more

    A Passion To Serve

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 3, 2020
     | 8,394 views

    There is this big disconnect between loving the Lord and serving Him because many who say they love the Lord really don’t love Him. We will learn today that Jesus links together love and service.

    If one were to take a survey and ask Christians the question “Do you love the Lord” the results of the survey would probably indicate that 99.9% of all surveyed "loved the Lord." Most would even say they "loved the Lord a lot." If one were to survey these same people and ask ...read more

    7 of ? The apostle John sheds light on the need for Spiritual Discernment in the Church. Spiritual Discernment is a necessity in the Church. But How is it to be achieved/accomplished? Moving(yourself, the Church, & others) toward spiritual discernment recognizes...

    MOVING TOWARD SPIRITUAL DISCERNMENT-VII —1John 3:16b-19(3:10--4:21) Attention: There will always be people who attempt to place all belief systems ‘in the same basket’ as it were.

    Bid Him Come And Die Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 6, 2021
     | 1,905 views

    Following Jesus is an all or nothing proposal, and far too many so-called "believers" are riding the fence, playing a game, or trying to look devout when their character shows otherwise. Either follow and obey Him, or be honest in your unbelief and leave.

    In today's social set-up, especially here in America, the prevailing philosophy seems to be, "I want it, and I want it NOW!" Young people are crying out for this at a pace that is bordering on the ridiculous, petty, and unrealistic. I do not see even the slightest awareness in most ...read more

    Love Is

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 10, 2021

    What is love? How will I know love when I see it? Is it just something I feel inside? Is it just a word we say? What the World says about love and what the Word says about love are two very different ideas.

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration/Story/Quote/Statistic- One of my main languages is music, so I’m going to be quoting some popular songs of my era that talk about love this morning since it is, after-all, Valentine’s Day. I hope you don’t mind. In the popular 80s song by the group Foreigner, the lead ...read more

    How much is enough? What do we do and where do we turn when we're afraid we don't have enough of (fill in the blank)? Jesus confronts his disciples with an enormous challenge to feed 5,000 people. But there's not enough. Now what?

    Today's series, "Let's Talk About," looks at some practical advice about how to make relationships work.

    Let’s Talk About “Relationships” Truthfully, this could actually take a month full of Sunday’s to fully talk about relationships, because of the complexity of the subject, and the nature of these relationships, especially when it comes to our relationships with others and with God. But what I’d ...read more

    What Can Love Do Here? (September 25, 2022)

     | 1,261 views

    Didn’t Jesus command us to make His love contagious so that others will know that we are His disciples? Aside from germs, viruses and sickness, have you ever wondered what is contagious in a crowd?

    WHAT CAN LOVE DO HERE? Text: John 13:34 – 35 I John 3:18 John 13:34-35 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. (35) By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another" ...read more

    The life of grace is the start and first standard in the heart of a Believer. Those who have disdain in their hearts for their brother must be deprived of love.

    The life of grace is the start and first standard in the heart of a Believer. Those who have disdain in their hearts for their brother must be deprived of love.

    We must love others. We are to love in deed and in truth and not just in word.

    1 John 3:11-24 depicts the differentiation among love and hate, and how love should be found in the existence of every Christian believer. Evil has an envious scorn for goodness. For this reason, Cain killed Abel, and it is why hatred is viewed as murder’s spiritual identical. Christians are relied ...read more

    False Conversion And Its Rotten Harvest

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2021
     | 2,471 views

    The Lord Jesus warns that not everyone who calls Him, "LORD" is truly His servant. Works done in His name do not necessarily demonstrate a genuine love for Him. This is a terrifying illustration of false conversion, and what to do about it before it is too late.

    Some things never change, especially towards the conclusion of the average worship service of the churches in which I have either been a member or have attended over the years. Many times the Sprit of God moves mightily in the hearts of members and visitors after the pastor has presented a ...read more

    When you are in a relationship, you have obligations. Christians are in a relationship with Christ and with that relationship comes obligations, This message looks at six of them.

    God fills you with love, and as you mature in Christ, that drives out the fear of eternal damnation, the only real fear worth mentioning.

    5th Sunday of Easter We’ve grown so accustomed to seeing St. Paul as one of the good guys of history, especially of Catholic or Christian history that we might be shocked by today’s reading from the Acts.
