    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Feb 21, 2012
     | 5,763 views

    Turned On To The Truth

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Mar 17, 2012
     | 3,114 views

    The tendency is to avoid being concerned with the truth when life is a big party. But when the pressures of life are applied, and one understands that he has to be responsible; then truth means everything. It is high time for you to be excited about the

    EAGERNESS FOR THE TRUTH Phil. 1:15-20 15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: 16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: 17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. ...read more

    God's Time

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Mar 28, 2012
     | 12,147 views

    We love to talk about time! We wish God would tell us the "when." But in this fascinating passage, He gives us hints and landmarks to watch for without give us a date and time. And so we serve Him while we wait for His time.

    Passage: Daniel 9:20-27 Intro: Time is a very mysterious thing to us 1. we are stuck in it, moment by moment, but dream of being outside it, to move back and forth in it. PP “The Time Machine” PP “Back to the Future” 2. hard for us to conceive of ...read more

    After All, I Didn't Kill Anybody

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2014
     | 2,795 views

    There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

    “What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more

    A Generous Heart Series

    Contributed by Stephen Brown on Jan 19, 2016
    based on 3 ratings
     | 22,564 views

    Why do we give? What does Scripture teach about giving? We serve a giving Father and a giving Son. If we are being transformed into His image, we will be giving as well.

    Why do we give? Sometimes we are compelled to give to something we believe in. Sometimes we give because we feel sorry for someone in a less fortunate situation. Sometimes we give because we feel guilty. Sometimes we give because we have some left over. Sometime we just don’t give. What ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,997 views

    Humility goes hand in had with a healthy church. A church that makes little of themselves can make much of God. What is humilty and how can we practically be humble?

    Intro: On Christmas afternoon, the Pastor’s wife dropped into an easy chair saying, "Boy! Am I ever tried." Her husband looked over at her & said, "I had to conduct two special services last night, three today, & give a total of five sermons. Why are you so tired?"

    Jesus, The True Faith Healer

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jan 31, 2015
     | 3,902 views

    We have to take a risk by reaching out to Jesus in faith for healing. Jesus can release us from our suffering and then use our story to encourage others.

    Have you ever wanted something so much that you were willing to do anything to get it? If so, you can appreciate what Jairus and the woman did in Mark 5:21-43.. Jairus was one of a group of key people who oversaw some of the administrative duties of local synagogues. He was not a priest. In this ...read more

    Divorce-Proof Marriages

    Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Nov 10, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,630 views

    We look for loopholes like the Pharisees did, but Jesus' words are striking! He wasn't interested in getting us out of marriage, but keeping us in them!

    Passage: Matthew 19:1-12 Intro: Every person comes to this passage from a little different place. 1. divorced, not-divorced, considering marriage, friends or family who are divorced. 2. I did a lengthy project on this passage 30 years ago, and I did what most people do. 3. focused on verse ...read more

    Communion Through The Years

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 5, 2009
     | 3,854 views

    From a Biblical perspective, The Lord’s Supper is a simple memorial ritual, despite how others have tried to complicate and confuse it.

    Communion Through the Years (I Corinthians 11:17-34) 1. I love Italian food. Since Marylu went to work, I have taken over as the cook for our family. 2. I have cooked so much Italian food that Marylu had to ask me to curtail this tendency! She really put the breaks on lasagna and manicotti. 3. ...read more

    There remains reasons to hope in the Lord's activity for the people of God. There will come a day of fellowship and peace for the people of God.

    Isaiah 2:1-5 Bound for Mt. Zion As evidenced on the day notoriously known to us as Black Friday, crowds can be dangerous.

    This message offers thought about what one needs to know and how one needs to respond..

    Facing Your Giants 1 Samuel 17 * One of the most familiar stories in all of God’s word is the story of David and Goliath. It is a story we tell our children to help them stand up to those who oppose them. Sadly, we seem to have relegated this story to a children’s story when the lessons and ...read more

    Coming To The Feast Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Nov 5, 2022
     | 3,181 views

    This message is intended to explain the great offense shown in ignoring both the invitation to the Feast and the refusal to wear the proper wedding Garment, which is a reflection of Christ's Righteousness.

    The parable which began Matthew 22, our Gospel lesson this morning, is a parable that can really bug people. It’s shocking and disturbing and I have found over the years that people complain about it because of how harsh it is. It also serves as a good way for us to better understand how to ...read more

    The Eye Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 30, 2022
     | 4,055 views

    Jesus has just noted that the eye is the body's lamp. A healthy eye perceives light and transmits that information to the body. In a poetic sense, a functioning eye floods the body with light. Light allows a person to see and operate in the world according to what is true.

    The Eye (22) "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, (23) But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness! Jesus has just commanded His listeners to stop stockpiling treasure on ...read more

    The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins is a visible testimony of victory and the assurance from the LORD God Almighty that the curse of sin, death, hell, and the grave are conquered forever, and that Jesus is LORD of all.

    The evidence for the existence, ministry, influence, death, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ should be as plain as day to anyone who is willing to examine the facts, do their own research, quit letting other people do their thinking for them, and avoid the sophistry of so-called ...read more
