On that date, two mighty armies met on a wide rolling plain between the ancient, walled cities of Tours and Poitiers. Their confrontation is known as the “Battle of Tours,” and it ...read more

    As children of God there is only really one thing we can't live without

    as we look in Ezekiel 37: 1-10 it begins with the prophet of God standing in the valley of dry bones. A man of God surrounded by death, hopelessness, and despair. As far as the eye can see there is only brokenness emptiness, death. This is the valley of death. Dreams have died here, hope for ...read more

    Although preached at a different day than the Day of Pentecost, due to illness, I used the Gospel for Pentecost and believe it is a good sermon

    The Half-Time Speech

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Feb 20, 2014
     | 5,765 views

    Just as the disciples felt they were winning the game, the second half came and they lost badly. Or so they thought.

    Half-time speeches are meant to motivate. My son Shane forever complains that the Panthers should make “adjustments” at half-time. So half-time is when things happen to win games. Today we are looking at Jesus half-time speech. Jesus and his “Fantastic Twelve” have been on ...read more

Maybe the fact that someone in your family was going to have a baby, you got a new position or job, or maybe your child did great at their game. We love to share with others what ...read more

     | 2,344 views

    Have you ever noticed how ministries can become politicized over time? It's a real concern in our day and age, where political ideology has the country polarized, that same political activism can push its way into the church.

    Pentecost in the New Testament, God’s great provision, is the arrival of the Holy Spirit for the church.

    It was the day before Passover, the Day of Preparation, and the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the sinless Man of God, was condemned to death by a kangaroo court. The crowds were given the chance to replace him with Barabbas, a known murderer, but they screamed that Jesus Christ had to die. So Jesus ...read more
