    We Are Wonderfully Made Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 24, 2024
     | 1,578 views

    We are wonderfully and uniquely made by God. Each of us has unique gifts and a divine purpose, reflecting the marvel of God's craftsmanship. Our worth is found in God's design and His plans for us. We are reminded that we are God's masterpiece, created with intention and love.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Imperfections by Matthew West In our world today, our identities are in crisis. Everyone around us tries to tell us who we are, what we should do, and who we should be.   What do we believe? Who do we support? Are we Republican or Democrat? Male or female? What ...read more

    Sermon # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024

     | 397 views

    The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:9, “Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.” (ESV) The one who said these words in the verse mentioned above, was the King of Nineveh, which makes it truly astounding. Let me give you a background which led to this response ...read more

    Before The Throne Of God (Revelation 4: 2-11)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 31, 2024
     | 908 views

    How can anyone describe with our limited human vocabulary the glory and wonder of God's heaven? John's vision shows that God is in control of the events here on earth and will bring all of history to a conclusion on HIs terms.

    Revelation Chapter 4 opens with the apostle John being commanded to "come up here" (v.1). He is brought to the throne room of God Almighty in all of its glory and majesty. It is far more beautiful and magnificent than any kind of palace built for kings and emperors here on Earth. What ...read more

    When it comes to praying for physical healing, we all know that sometimes God says YES, and sometimes God says NO. God told Paul, NO. I. Paul’s desperation. II. Paul’s Actions III. God’s Response

    God designed the human body with remarkable abilities to heal itself through various mechanisms that work together to maintain balance and repair damage.

    When they started giving out stress cards to recruits in boot camp, I was a bit surprised. If I had gone to submit one of those cards to my TI he would have said, "Son, you're feeling stressed? I don't think you know what stress is." and would have made my life very stressful ...read more

    A Thorn In The Flesh

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Apr 21, 2022
     | 3,396 views

    Paul had a thorn in the flesh, a messenger from Satan sent to buffet him. God allowed it to keep him humble. God used the weakness in Paul's life to show His mighty power and majesty. God is able to turn our weaknesses to strengths if we surrender to Him.

    TEXT: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 "And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might ...read more

    There is always a thorn that is sand paper that rubs us wrong. Paul tells us how we can deal with them in our lives.

    “Jesus Is Enough” is a heartfelt sermon reminding us that our strength fails, but God’s grace never does. In our weakness, Christ is our sufficiency. Through testimony and Scripture, we discover true freedom by relying fully on Him.

    Sermon Outline: "God Alone Is Sovereign”

    Contributed by Ronald Moore on Sep 15, 2025
     | 91 views

    God alone is sovereign—He grants visions, He allows thorns, and He shows His power not through our strength, but through our weakness.

    I. A Vision Beyond Words (vv. 2–4) Paul recounts being “caught up” to Paradise. He emphasizes what he does not know: “Whether in the body or out of the body, I do not know. God knows.” The content of the vision is hidden—“inexpressible words…not lawful to utter.” Point: Even in revelation, Paul ...read more

    Sometimes the greatest gifts God gives us are the weaknesses we would never choose for ourselves.

    INTRO If we took an inventory of everything that we say in our prayers, we would likely find that the vast majority of our prayers fall into one of two simple prayers.

    In the Bible, giving of thanks goes far beyond an annual American celebration on a day we remember to thank God for a multitude of blessings. It is a preoccupation of every Christian and extends even to those elders who are "before the throne" in heaven.

    Today, I want to explore the significance of thanksgiving in our lives as Christians. While Thanksgiving is often associated with a single day of gratitude in America, the Bible teaches us that giving thanks goes far beyond an annual celebration. It is a continuous attitude and action that should ...read more
