S.d.g. Living

Contributed by Beth Garrod-Logsdon on Aug 17, 2009

J.S. Bach signed most of his sacred music "S.D.G." (Soli Deo Gloria). 1 Kings 3:1-15 and Ephesians 5:15-20 encourage us to live an S.D.G. life style - a life that gives glory to God alone.

Got Faith?

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 7, 2016

Sometimes God's plans are so much greater than our plans that all we can do is keep hoping, keep putting our faith in the One who always works for our good and his glory. As we cultivate a relationship with Christ, we build our faith muscles.

We're Doing Life Together Series

Contributed by D. Greg Ebie on Aug 21, 2016

It’s one thing to believe God brings us together as the body of Christ for His glory, and it is another to act upon what you believe. We can believe all the right stuff, but faith without works is still dead right? Let's walk together in covenant.

The Power Of God

Contributed by Randy Shepard on Jul 9, 2018

A sermon that is part of my story interwoven with some theology of disability. I have Cerebral Palsy. The doctors told my parents that I would never walk or talk. God made me a preacher who walks just fine. Feel free to use my story for God's glory.

Forsaking Renegade Wisdom

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 11, 2021

     One of the problems that often goes unrecognized is the depth of God’s wisdom. Is it possible that we claim to know God, while failing to give Him the thanks and glory? This sermon is about abortion and removing prayer from schools.

I Am The True Vine (You Are The Branches) - John 15 V 1-11 This Is Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 2, 2022

Abiding in Christ is as simple as the branches abiding in the Vine. Yet what causes some branches to become less productive? In the Part 2 of "I am the Vine, you are the branches," we look at what it means to abide, and at service. Fruit brings glory to Christ and magnifies His Name.

Are You The King Of The Jews?

Contributed by Paul Green on Nov 27, 2021

Jesus was the King who never looked like a King, the King who never acted like a king – at least not in the way the world understands royalty. He came the first time, 2000 years ago, as the servant king, and he is coming again, in power and in glory, as the king over all kings.

Today is the last Sunday of the Christian year, traditionally recognised as ‘The Feast of Christ the King’. Next week is Advent - the start of a new Christian year, but today we conclude the old ecclesiastical year with a proclamation of the kingship of Christ. ‘The Feast of Christ the King’ is a ...read more

Zechariah’s Third Vision: City Without Walls) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 10, 2021

The Jews in Jerusalem were thinking too small in their expectations of God's goodness. God's future for his people is so abundant that man-made walls could not contain the blessings. Jerusalem will be a "city without walls."

When God Doesn't Make Sense Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jun 16, 2021
