Sermon # 15 - The Gradual Steps Of Backsliding Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 9, 2024

Jonah walked away from God and landed everyone aboard the ship he travelled in big trouble. Backsliding is a gradual process, but if we repent and turn back to the Lord we can be reconciled and restored to our first love.

We read in Jonah 1:10-12, Then the men were terrified. They knew that he was running away from the LORD, because he had told them. They asked Jonah, "Why have you done this?" The storm was getting worse. So they asked Jonah, "What should we do with you to calm the sea?" He told ...read more

Peter Denies Knowing Jesus Series

Teach Us To Pray

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jul 25, 2022

“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” That is the first line of the first prayer I can remember being taught as a child. Like any good parent, our Father teaches us to pray just like our moms and dad did.

Teach Us To Pray 24 July 2022 Richardson TX “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” That is the first line of the first prayer I can remember being taught.

Dancing With Wolves

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 17, 2023

The false prophets dance around the cost of discipleship, but dancing slippers don’t suit the hard road that leads to the narrow gate, and the wolves never warn their people that they need hiking boots instead

I am trying to navigate the theological tsunami that is threatening to permanently alter the face of our denomination. The amendments to the constitution regarding ordination standards, diversity, inclusiveness, interpretation of Scripture, and so on, are incredibly important to our identity as a ...read more

It’s all in the plan When I began to seek the Lord Jesus I asked Him, Lord what is it you want me to tell your people? Then I allowed Him to direct my path and God said tell them the truth, as long as it is the truth I will back you up. So the scripture came to me.. Jeremiah 29:11 11 For I know ...read more

The Gospel In Plain Language

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 10, 2025

Many salesmen are trained to speak in such a way that they can convince people to buy things that they don’t need, don’t want, can’t really afford, to impress people they don’t really like. But when the apostle Paul was preaching the gospel, he wasn't like that.

Alba 2-9-2024 THE GOSPEL IN PLAIN LANGUAGE I Corinthians 2:1-5 I’m sure most of us here have encountered a slick talking, smooth speaking, silver tongued, spell binding salesman. You know the type. And somewhere between the “I’m not interested”, and “I’ll take two”, something happens and we’re ...read more

Sermon: A Time For War And A Time For Peace

Contributed by Lee Houston on Feb 20, 2025

It is fun to preach on topics like Christmas or going to heaven. However, I would not be doing my duty as a pastor if I did not occasionally speak about some dark subject. Today, that subject is war. Our Bible chronicles many wars.

Peace Work Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

God’s peace is not the same as the world’s peace - even though people filled with God’s peace DO bring peace to the world.

We human beings are not naturally peacemakers. On the contrary: we’re naturally trouble-makers. A few years ago a group of people tried walking across America on a mission of peace. They couldn't get along and divided into two groups by the time they were half way across. According to the ...read more

Reading Light, Leading Light Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

People see the world from different angles. I’d like to suggest that the Holy Spirit gives us Christ’s perspective. We need to start seeing the world through Christ-colored glasses, which is not the same as rose-colored glasses. Jesus saw compassionately, but he also saw clearly and realistically.

How many of you own a flashlight? I probably have half a dozen, and most of them have dead batteries in them. I’d be lost without the flashlight app on my smart phone, because it’s always charged. It works. It helps me see where I’m going. It is, to use Jesus’ word, healthy. I think you can all ...read more
