Self Control Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023

There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

Do you have everything under control? I mean everything within you – do you all of you in control? Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue? Today, I ...read more

Religious Liberty Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Aug 27, 2011

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025

Every day, we wake up, and choose whether we will put on our old way of life-- the ratty, stained, lifestyle-- or if we'll put on the new clothing of righteousness. Choose the clean clothing.

I'd like to start today by giving a quick overview of Paul's letter to the Ephesians, up to this point. At this point in history, God has now revealed his once secret plan for all of his creation. Paul describes this plan using three different metaphors. The first, is that God is ...read more

What Does The Bible Offer That I Need? Series

Contributed by Lynn Floyd on May 29, 2001

I briefly look at some of the main reasons why people don’t read the bible then show why those reasons aren’t valid. I conclude with three things the bible will help a person do.

George Washington said, “It is impossible to righteously govern the world without God and the Bible.” President Ronald Reagan said, “Within the covers of one single book, ...read more

1 Peter 4:10 admonishes us to "use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." What is the greatest gift all believers have received? What gift does this poor, lost world need most?

The Compassion Of Christ

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jul 18, 2015

When we come to a deserted place, God welcomes us with his healing grace and peace. He renews us and sends us out to share his gifts with the world. When we get tired, we come to God for rest and refreshment, and then the cycle continues.

Contributed by David Kinnan on May 2, 2013

The extent we’re willing to go (for the Kingdom) determines the impact we dream to have (on the Kingdom).

When Judging, We Are Judged Series

Contributed by Michael Stark on Sep 23, 2017

The Word cautions Christians against a judgemental attitude. When we imagine that we are judging others--even those we identify as "wicked sinners," we expose ourselves to the very judgements we pronounce.

“You have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things.” [1] “We know” is an expression used ...read more
