Costly Worship Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Feb 24, 2020

Number 36 in an on-going sermon series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at true worship, and how true worship appears foolishly costly to the worldly minded, but to Christians there is no cost too high.

A Faith That Can Be Seen

Contributed by Dr. Jwt Spies on May 27, 2021

When the Lord see's how bad you want your Blessing!

You see, faith is never something just to be talked about. It is something that must be demonstrated in the way we walk, in the way we talk and in the way live. Paul Harvey the radio announcer once said, “If you don’t live it, you don’t believe it.” And there’s Biblical basis for that statement. ...read more

The Cause Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Feb 24, 2016

The Church is called by Christ to be ON a mission. There is one reason that underlies the entirety of the mission--the crowds. This message explores the reasons Jesus called the Church to be on a mission.

We began Mission: Possible last week with a serious look at the call for the church, in general, and disciples in particular to be ON a mission from God. It isn’t enough to see ourselves as being IN missions, but rather on a continuing mission. To be sure, being engaged in mission work is ...read more

A Healing In The Synagogue Series

The Easiest Way To Miss Out On Heaven

Contributed by Larry Moyer on Aug 5, 2009

This message addresses common reasons unbelievers give of why they will not trust Christ. It also explores the difference between a "good reason" and an "excuse," and we find that most of these "good reasons" non-believers give are just "excuses."

I am well aware that one of the problems people have with speakers like me is that they often wonder if they are actually real human beings. I once read of a little girl who was taken to church for the first time ever. The child was struck by the solemness of the occasion. And after several moments ...read more
