    A sermon examining the reality of apostasy in our day.

    THE LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT THYATIRA Revelation 2:18-29 Many people have a mistaken idea as to the definition of a “worldly church”. Often we paint with broad strokes and label any church that doesn’t look or operate like ours as being “worldly”. We are certainly considered “traditional” and there ...read more

    Protecting The Unity Of The Church

    Contributed by Greg Warren on Jun 16, 2021
     | 5,238 views

    The importance of protecting the unity of the church and practical principles and steps for doing so.

    We'd like to think that the church is immune to conflict and disagreement. After all, we're all Christians here. Right? Well, don't be naive. Hopefully, we're all striving to be like Christ. But we're also humans who sometimes fall short. We say things or react before we ...read more

    Bathsheba- A Christmas Story Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 16, 2021
     | 3,749 views

    What if even the “random things” in your life were connected as part of a bigger plan? Instead of thinking of life in terms of luck, chance, and blind fate, what if each life representing the seven billion people on the planet, were coordinated by Someone?

    Merry Christmas from my family to yours! We begin a short series two Sundays ago designed to make room in your heart to worship Jesus, entitled The Mothers of Jesus. The best-selling book in the world begins in the oddest way. Matthew chapter two is the account of the first Christmas and it warms ...read more

     | 4,933 views

    This message views the symbol of baptism and looks at it piece by piece, in order to understand what it represents; which, in the end, will provide a fuller picture of how we’re supposed to live our life for Jesus Christ.

    This morning I’m going to be preaching on baptism and have us look at its symbolism; and I want to begin with an illustration. If you have a wedding ring on right now, then take a look at it. “Baptism is like a wedding ring. Both symbolize transactions. A wedding ring symbolizes marriage, just ...read more

    "I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You!”

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 10, 2019
     | 35,161 views

    We can be assured of God's provision and of His love because He promised with a five-fold negative that He would never leave us nor forsake us. Four different people in Scripture received this promise from God, so we can see God's faithfulness to them.

    “I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU NOR FORSAKE YOU!” Heb. 13:5-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Steve Bauer was touring Ireland's countryside with a group of travel writers. They passed an immaculate cemetery with hundreds of beautiful headstones set in a field of emerald green grass. 2. Everyone reached ...read more

    The Depths Of Despair

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

     | 3,722 views

    This message looks at some Bible passages on the cave of despair. How do people tend to act when they find themselves in such a dark place? What do we need to do, in order for God to deliver us into a place of hope and life?

    I want to get us started with our message this morning by sharing an illustration that I’ve used on numerous occasions: Back when I was in college, I used to go cave exploring with a friend as often as possible. Sometimes we went about twice a week. Well, one evening we followed a lead for a new ...read more

    Ie3a: The Imperfection Of The Earthly Sanctuary Series

     | 2,142 views

    Our subject is the priesthood of the Lord Jesus Christ who is a priest after the order of Melchizedek. Presented to us are two ministries which are in sharp contrast. The Levitical service, the ministry of the Aaronic priesthood, was carried out in an earthly Tabernacle down here.

    There are two great days in a person’s life: the day we are born and the day we discover why. We look at Samuel’s recovery, David & Saul contrasted, and the 7 aspects of “David’s Call & Anointing.”

    DAVID’S CALL & ANOINTING 1 Sam. 16:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Mr. and Mrs. Brown had two sons. One was named Mind Your Own Business & the other was named Trouble. 2. One day the two boys decided to play hide and seek. Trouble hid while Mind Your Own Business counted to one ...read more

    A Loving Father Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,364 views

    Father's Day: The father should be the hero of this parable. He had been watching and waiting with love and patience. Like the father who was looking for his son to return, the Lord is waiting for us to come home to Him.

    Luke chapter fifteen contains three parables. The third parable, which we are going to look at this morning, is sometimes called, “The Parable of the Prodigal Son.” Commentator William Barclay says, “For centuries the third parable has been called ‘The Parable of the Prodigal Son.’ It would be ...read more

    By Faith, Abel offered a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain did. But what does that mean? What made the sacrifice more acceptable? And what can that mean for us?

    OPEN: I read from a Children’s book the story of Cain and Abel. You know, it’s odd - we ALL seem to know the story about Cain and Abel. But Cain gets more “PRESS” from Scripture than Abel does. Cain is mentioned in 18 verses but Abel ONLY gets 11 verses (about 1/3 less attention). But the PRESS ...read more

    Fix Your Eyes On Jesus

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 9, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,359 views

    In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

    Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

    The name Jesus is the personal name of our Saviour. This name allows us to completely identify with the one who is like us in every way.
