    Jesus was not a hired hand, one seeking get paid, to just complete a job. He was willing to lay down his life for us, for his sheep. Our Lord is the Good Sheppard. Seek The "Kalos", Sheppard.

    The Bells Of Christmas

    Contributed by Melvin Newland on Apr 30, 2015
     | 9,690 views

    To many of the people it seemed that even God had turned His back upon them. But Isaiah's faith & hope was not dimmed or shaken. God spoke through him, & in the 9th chapter he speaks about the coming Messiah.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK INTRO. There are so many beautiful Christmas hymns. But for some reason the words & music of a Christmas hymn that is not too well known, written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the terrible days of the Civil War, seem to touch me the ...read more

    Behold thy Mother May 10, 2015 Mother’s Day Message By Rev. James May In recent days I have had the personal experience of being reminded just how much my own mother means to me.

    Contributed by Larry Turner on May 15, 2015
     | 3,631 views

    Just as Jesus gave gifts to his Bride, the Church so did the Heavenly Father. This sermon examines those gifts.

    Today we will continue looking at the church as the Bride of Christ and the gifts that were given to the Bride by Jesus, God the Father, and the Holy Spirit. The last time that we studied this subject we discovered that Jesus gave gifts to his Bride. Ephesians 4:11 “Now these are the ...read more

    The Fellowship Of The Faithful Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 8, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,521 views

    In Acts 2:42, fellowship is named the 2nd item the church devoted themselves to. Why 2nd? Was that a mere accident, or was there a special importance God wanted us to see in that part of worship?

    OPEN: I’ve heard from several people in our congregation church (as well as a number of preachers I’ve spoken with) and everybody seems to agree this lock-down is getting old. Online worship is OK… but it’s no replacement for real church. Well, everyone is tired of online worship with the ...read more

    Today is Mother's Day, & this used to be such an easy Sunday for preachers because we could preach sermons filled with warm, happy illustrations. And everybody wore flowers.

    As we recall, when Jesus was approaching Jericho, he had an encounter with a blind named Bartimeaus, a poor beggar from the lowest of the social class according to society.

    The Purpose Of The Parables Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Sep 10, 2020
     | 6,212 views

    Jesus uses parables to either reveal callous hearts where the word is being taken away, or reveal receptive hearts which have an increasing harvest.

    Message Matthew 13:10-17 “The Purpose of the Parables” Today we are starting a series of sermons which will look at the Parables of Jesus. “Parable” is the English translation of a Greek word which literally means “to place alongside”. From this literal meaning we get the idea that a parable is a ...read more

    The Church Has Left The Building Series

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Sep 21, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 18,354 views

    Many of the churches -- and by churches, I mean Christians -- have forgotten the church is meant to thrive outside the walls of the church house by serving others and by being a means of God’s Grace. It is time for the Church to leave the building.

    TITLE: THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:15 On last Sunday I preached from the subject “THE CHURCH” – this morning I want to continue that message or Part-II and tag this message – “THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.” I remember when I was still relatively young, Elvis ...read more

    Paul tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices. How are we transformed into a living sacrifice and live that out? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell

    Read passage and pray. For the month of January, we’re preaching on the theme of Collide. The idea is that the ways of God often collide with the ways of the world.

    An opportunity to turn back to the God who awaits you.

    “Sold as Slaves to Sin” John 1:29 It doesn’t seem like we hear people talk much about sin anymore. I know it can be a downer of a subject, and we don’t want to over-dwell on it, but we certainly don’t want to pretend it doesn’t exist. I know it exists in my heart, in my life. I know I have ...read more
