Love Is Forgetful Series

Contributed by Paul Green on Oct 28, 2009

We often think of forgetfulness as a weakness, as a problem. And more often than not that is true. But there is a time when forgetfulness becomes an absolute necessity. Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ He says that love is forgetful.

In the middle of that list of what love is, Paul says that ‘Love – keeps no record of wrongs’ (v5). In other words what he is saying is that, as well as being patient, and kind and a whole host of other things – love is also forgetful! –‘ Love - keeps no record of wrongs’ Love is forgetful!

Word 8: Stewardship Series

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Aug 7, 2008

God Clearly says hands off other peoples stuff. Is it merely taking things that God says not to? It is so much more. God’s word clearly shows us that stealing is rejecting God!

Intro: This is another no brainer. Don’t take things that do not belong to you. You would think that all people would respect other’s belongings. How can we in a society that believes that we evolved from some fish like thing that crawled out of the primordial ooze? How can we in a society that ...read more

Is Jesus God?

Contributed by Anthony Smith on Feb 1, 2006

Many are asking this question, trying to find an answer. Some say yes, some say no, and some are not sure. So then how can we find out who this Great Messiah is, God or Christ?

Rekindling The Passion

Contributed by Ben Peak on Jan 3, 2008

In these verses we see a group of people who have come out from the spiritual honeymoon period. And there are three things that Jesus says to these church members at Ephesus that I believe He wants to say to us.

You know, for every sort of relationship there is a honeymoon period, a time when everything is lovey-dovey and wonderful. All sorts of differences are overlooked during this time. All words are spoken kindly. Every consideration is given to the other party. It’s just a nice and peachy time. ...read more

Friend Or Foe? Series

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Sep 5, 2011

For James the main concern is simple...to say yes and mean it, or to say no and mean it, is a matter of integrity and character. We shouldn't be double minded. What will it be when you stand before Him?

FRIEND OR FOE? JAMES 5:7 12 James began his letter with a call to persevere...to stand strong under trial...and we saw that holding up through afflictions and difficulties is actually the pathway to maturity. His conclusion opens with the same theme, set in the same context. He encourages us to ...read more

Genesis 8 – Part 1 - Where Do We Go From Here? Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 11, 2010

Like Noah I would like to hear the voice of God say “come into the ark” where you’ll be safe. Instead, often He is saying “GO OUT OF THE ARK” and face whatever is out there.

Genesis 8 – Part 1 - WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? I feel as if a flood of memories from the last 10 years is sweeping over me, and like Noah I would like to hear the voice of God say “come into the ark” where you’ll be safe.

Why Not Make God, Happy, Happy, Happy?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Aug 25, 2013

The Bible Says, that when our steps are ordered of Him, He delights in our way, God gets, as Phil from duck dynasty says..."happy, happy, happy"....to be invited and involved, in our lives!

Why not make God Happy, Happy, Happy? Psalm 37:23 NKJ The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way. The Lord Himself delights in his ways.... That sounds like a pleasant place to be doesn't it? So who is this good man or woman, in whom the Lord delights The ...read more

The Joy Of Giving Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

God puts a really interesting proposition in front of us. He says, “Put me to the test” when it comes to your money. “Try it my way,” God says, “and see if my way works.”

We are doing a yearlong challenge in our church in 2020. We are challenging you to share the story of Christ’s love with friends, co-workers, and family members who don’t know Christ. When you do, we invite you to drop a ping-pong ball into the container, if you will. Our church hopes to see 5,000 ...read more

The Greatest Image Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 14, 2021

This third verse of Hebrews 1 does not merely say that Jesus was like God, or that he was a reflection of God’s nature, but it says He is the exact representation of His being. It is not approximate, but the exact representation of His being.

There Is One Faith Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 24, 2023

Ephesians 4:5 says that there is “One Faith”. But there seems to be more. If someone says, “Have faith.” We need to ask, “Have faith in what?” We operate on faith every day. Just not always in God.

Alba 4-23-2023 THERE IS ONE FAITH Ephesians 4:5 Some years ago in the cartoon “The Family Circus” two children had found their Easter baskets and are enjoying them. One asked, “Who colored all these eggs?” to which his sister replied, “The Easter bunny.” “Who gave us the jelly beans?” “The ...read more

I Go To Prepare A Place For You

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Aug 28, 2023

Did you notice that I read, ‘There are many rooms in my Father’s house”? In the KJV it says, “many mansions.” Other versions say: “many abiding places” or “dwellings” or “resting places” or “homes.”

A Life Of Gratitude (Thanksgiving Message)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 19, 2022

Bart Simpson, in a program aimed at millions of America's young, is asked to say grace and he says, "Dear God, we paid for all this stuff ourselves, so thanks for nothing."

The attitude of ungratefulness can not only be seen in the cartoons in the newspaper, but also in the lives of people. WHAT AN UNGRATEFUL PEOPLE WE HAVE BECOME! For example, if you have attended church very long you have experienced ingratitude. • There are people who will attend church to get ...read more

Be Reconciled To Your Brother Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Reconciliation begins with confrontation; being brave enough to approach someone to say, “Hey, we need to talk about something.” Rick Warren says that running from a problem and pretending it doesn’t exist is cowardice.

I want to ask a question to start off our message, and that is, “Whatever happened to reconciliation?” It seems as though there’s not a lot of reconciliation happening in our churches today among Christians. Probably the reason why is because reconciliation begins with confrontation; or rather, ...read more
