    A look at the Christmas shepherds from Luke's Gospel.

    The Characters of Christmas: The Shepherds Luke 2:8-20 History and pop culture have given a cast of characters to surround us at Christmas. The characters evoke smiles, joy, reverence, excitement, anticipation and happy memories. Some, like Santa Claus have sacred beginnings, but most are ...read more

    Introduction Deserts are defined as land regions that receive less than 10 inches of rain per year... They typically have little to no vegetation or plant life... and very few animals are able to live there... for people who live in the desert... it is a harsh life... largely centered on where they ...read more

    The Presentation of Jesus Luke 2:20-40 We now come to the first Sunday after Christmas.

    Great Messages Of Encouragement #2: Strength To The Weary

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jan 15, 2022
     | 3,138 views

    In Isaiah's day Judah was invaded by Assyria, threatened by Babylon and ridden with sin. And yet, Isaiah offers a wonderful message of encouragement: 'they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles.' How is that possible?

    Last week we started a series on ‘Great Messages of Encouragement’ in Scripture. Today we’re going to look at a great message of encouragement in Isaiah. It’s at the end of Isaiah 40. Isaiah writes: “He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even ...read more

    April 17, 2021 JC RYLE: Read the Bible with CHRIST constantly in view. The whole Book is about Him. Look for Him on every page. He is there. If you fail to see Him there, you need to read that page again. Today we find ourselves in the book of Judges. We tend to ignore Judges for the ...read more

    Week Three Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 15, 2021
     | 2,341 views

    Self examination is not intended as a form of self punishment, but a redirection of our love to God for what He did for us through the cross. It’s meant as a guidepost to living like “little Christs” in this world so we can be a blessing to those who may never consider His saving grace.

    “Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter. Early church father ...read more

    Confessing sin is more than just speaking words; it may involve a broken heart. The mature Christian and those living close to God, recognize that their sin is degrading and offensive to a Holy God. Deep sorrow will flow from the heart when sin is confe

    Our comfort from God is based on... (Material adapted from Brandon Web at: http://www.brandonweb.com/sermons/sermonpages/isaiah11.htm)

    HoHum: “Blue Christmas” is one of the all time holiday classics each year during Christmas time. The heartbreaking song captures how lonely the season can be without the one we love, which is probably why it’s been a staple for over 70 years. The song was written in 1948. The most famous version ...read more

    The Least Of These

     | 4,182 views

    Modern Christians are going to be horrified when they stand in Judgment. Attending church, praising the Lord, living faithfully, and paying tithes aren't even on the radar of what Jesus is expecting of us. We're supposed to be serving 'the least of these!'

    THE LEAST OF THESE Matt. 25:31-40 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE SPHINX’S RIDDLE 1. There’s an ancient Greek story about a Sphinx that troubled the city of Thebes. He would ask passers-by a riddle. If they got the answer wrong, he would devour them. 2. The riddle was: “What walks on four legs in ...read more

    Children Of The Resurrection

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jul 7, 2025

    During troubling times, man reads things into the events happening and thinks they see apocalyptic inferences. Many speak of the coming End of Time. Often these spoken inferences are accepted as common understandings. Mankind begins to wonder about life after death.

    1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble. 2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. 5 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; 10 But ...read more

    Part of our problem today is that we’ve become too casual with God. Instead of hesitating to even pronounce His name, we use His name flippantly. It is to be spoken with deep reverence and profound respect … even fear.

    I guess I was about 4 years old when I realized that my mother had another name besides “Mom” … and one day I decided to call her by that name instead of “Mom.” Big mistake. She asked me to do something and I replied: “Okay … Marie.” There was that thunderous moment of silence … the laser beam ...read more

    There are many things a Christian can do and nothing changes. But you cannot fast and pray and remain the same.

There are many different kinds of prayer. • There’s the “Call 911 Prayer.” You make this call when you have an emergency. You don’t want to trouble God unless you have an emergency.

    Second in a three part series exploring the need for the church to rise up, and go into the city. This message looks at the implications of operating with "strength and courage."

    (This sermon launched with the utilization of Google Earth to provide screen shots of the community we are located in. Could be personalized to each church’s community.)
