The Most Important Meal Of The Week Series

Contributed by David Owens on Aug 5, 2019

Many churches and denominations today are observing the Lord's Supper less and less, but this is not God's plan for the church. It appears that the first Christians observed the Lord's Supper weekly on the Lord's Day.

The first ...read more

Mary Magdalene

Contributed by Bruce Ball on Sep 1, 2019

Mary Magdalene is another of the many women in the bible who has been shown to have had very strong faith and who served in some capacity of a ministry. Hers was to support the Lord Jesus and his disciples as they traveled the countryside preaching the Good News.

I would like to continue that theme this morning by talking about Mary Magdalene; another woman who had exceptionally strong faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Unstoppable Church (Christians) Series

Contributed by Steve Greene on Sep 12, 2019

Lots of people get stopped by lots of things. I remember being stopped in my tracks one day at church – Snake. People are stopped in their tracks by all kinds of things. Sadly, I have known people who were stopped in their tracks relationally. Maybe they got burned in a relationship, or even in ...read more

Pentecost "Back To The Basics”

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 1, 2019

Obey The Gospel

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2019

How does a person become a Christian? When is the moment when they move from being lost to being saved? What is the Gospel? How does a person "obey the gospel"?

He had no lawyer the day he appeared in court for hitting a parked car while driving drunk. 2. He went before the judge with what he thought was his “trump card.” 3.

Membership Matters Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 12, 2019

Along with the privileges of membership in the body of Christ are many responsibilities. In order to have a growing and strong church, we must have every member doing their part.

A. The American Express Credit Card Company had an ad campaign slogan for 10 years, from 1987 to 1996 called “Membership has its privileges.” 1. That was certainly true for American Express credit card holders. 2. What I want us to realize is that membership in the family of God, the Church, has ...read more
