Prince Of Peace Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on May 13, 2020

Peace is something most of us could use right now and the good news is that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. In this message we talk about - what the peace of God, why we are not finding it and how we can actually live within it.

Prince Of Peace Video (Social Distancing Mothers Day) YEAH – a lot of truth to that little video. AMEN! ESPECIALLY – the truth about how much we love, admire, respect and value our moms.

Contributed by John Dobbs on May 30, 2020

Every one of us have been fighting against giants in our lives over the past few months. These are actually NEW giants because we have always had giants to face. Each of these giants have names - they are not strangers to us.

Introduction To Chapter 8 (8:1-6) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Oct 24, 2020

The high watermark of this magnificent epistle is found in chapter 8─actually it began in the previous chapter at verse 25: “Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.”

The Flesh Is Willing

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 21, 2019

Wait… the title of this story is “The Flesh is Willing”, yet this scripture claims it is weak… and it was Jesus who actually said it… so, that must be right! See… the flesh is very willing to do things, to get involved, to perform or get into action… to a fault.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Regurgitationalistics

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 27, 2019

Have you noticed that we tend to get all caught up communicating and sharing thoughts, ideas, “news and information” and that we easily fall into the trap of just being talking-heads… mostly... just regurgitating thoughts and ideas, but not actually contributing.

Man has never invented a single thing (as of this writing)… ever never… nothing new… never… not one new element has been introduced into life. All we’ve done is ‘assemble’ things to be something else, and we call it ‘inventing’. Semantics, I know… but our thoughts and the many things we voice ...read more

In Remembrance Of Me

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 8, 2020

Each month we take communion to remember Jesus and His great sacrifice. Other's believe that in the Eucharist we actually consume the flesh and blood of Jesus. What does the Scriptures say? What happens communion is unavailable to a believer?

In Remembrance of Me Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … Jude 1:24-25 “To Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy – “To the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, ...read more

Walk The Talk

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Oct 26, 2007

So often, there is a huge disparity between what we say, and what we actually do. The Bible makes the connection or links “believing” to “behavior.” The two appear to be inseparable. When we try to divorce these two terms (as they relate to Christianity),

"finding Our Way Home"

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 17, 2020

We actually have three stories being told here. Three stories. One parable. One big truth and here it is. Lost things matter to God. As a result, God spends a great deal of time looking for his people.

"Finding Our Way Home" Luke 15:11-20 While living in Kentucky a good friend of mine and I drove all the way to Detroit to see a baseball game. I had never been to the old Tiger’s stadium and they were playing my favorite team so we made the trek. I took my car and getting to Detroit was ...read more

Series: Limiting The Holy One Of Israel (Part 1 An Introduction - Can We Limit God's Move In Our Lives?)

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 10, 2020

God’s people actually ‘’limited the Holy One of Israel’’ by their sins and foolishness. So, can man or the church limit God's purpose & intention? Yes! Within the context of this psalm, we can, the same as Israel did.

SERIES: LIMITING THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL (PART 1 - AN INTRODUCTION - CAN WE LIMIT GOD'S MOVE IN OUR LIVES?) PSALM 78: 19 Yes, they murmured against God: They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 20 Behold, He struck the rock, So that the waters gushed out, And the streams ...read more

Palm Sunday Or "the Science Of Worship"

Contributed by Fr Mund Cargill Thompson on Apr 4, 2020

A sermon for Palm Sunday 2020 exploring how being in Corona Virus Lockdown may mean we have to reinvent worship but does not mean we have to stop it - and how that worship can actually be good for us and lift our spirits.

You And Who Else?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 3, 2023

The Pharisees paid lip service to God, but were actually operating under their own power, for their own agendas, not God's. That is why they didn't really want to be told that Jesus was operating under God's authority.

“Who do you think you are? What right have you to tell me what to think?” Has anyone ever said that to you? It’s not very pleasant. But it happened to me, once. Back when I was just starting seminary. I had run into an acquaintance of mine named Nora. She was pretty vulnerable and sensitive to ...read more

Sermon # 27 - Blessings And Curses Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 18, 2023

What are the true blessings of God, and how do they actualize in our lives? Also, how do we stay away from the curses of the evil one? God’s word teaches us how to stay blessed, and how to avoid curses.

In Genesis 27:28-29 we read, “May God give you—from the dew of the sky and from the fatness of the land—an abundance of grain and new wine. May peoples serve you and may nations bow down to you. Be master over your brothers. May your mother’s sons bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed ...read more

Listen To The Prophets

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Aug 21, 2022

God often gives us direction through Prophets. Why don’t we listen to him? We don’t like being told we are on the wrong path or going the wrong way. The answer as actually rooted in our psyche.

Searching For Home

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

For many people, life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home; but our true home is in heaven. Until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. This is the expanded version of a funeral sermon I did called "Looking for Home."

Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more

God Pursues The Lost

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

This message looks at how people run from God when He is only trying to rescue them. What are some of the ways in which the Lord pursues the lost? And what happens when He actually catches the person who’s running?

This morning we are going to look at some words of revelation from the Lord spoken by the prophet Elihu to Job. In Elihu’s words of wisdom, we find a message that can be applied to those who are lost without salvation in Jesus Christ; and I wish to begin this sermon with an illustration: One ...read more
