Humanity has been given the invitation to accept the truth and there is a great responsibility in receiving His grace.

This week we begin a summer series entitled, Tell Me A Story. “Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables.

The Greatest Sermon Of The Year

Contributed by Scott Cody on Aug 14, 2003

A collection of passages from the Bible that tell God’s great story in one brief sermon.

It’s a bit presumptuous for someone to claim to deliver the greatest sermon of the year, but I make no apologies for today’s lesson or it’s claim. That’s because God’s going to do the preaching today. Sometimes, preachers get in the way of God’s powerful message of hope. So let me quit sharing my ...read more

Christmas 1914- Peace In No-Man's Land Series

Contributed by Paul Barreca on Dec 8, 2013

“Peace on earth” is a familiar Christmas greeting. However, it is as elusive today as it was 2,000 years ago. Did Christ then fail in his mission in coming to earth?

Today is the second message in our series, “Christmas Through the Ages.” Today, we travel back 99 years to 1914. I chose 1914 instead of 1913 because 1914 was a monumental year. APRIL 15, 1914 marked the sinking of the Titanic. In July and August the nations of Europe declared ...read more
