Picture Of Abuse

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 9, 2012

Satan continues, once again, resorting to external methods to stop the church’s growth. The experience of Peter and John gives a clear picture of persecution. Wherever and whenever these things take place among believers, there will be persecution of on

The early church was doing well. However, last time (Acts 5:1-11) we saw the introduction and the punishment of hypocrisy as it entered the church for the first time. We saw that it was Satan’s way of trying to stop the growth of the church. Well Satan continues in tonight’s passage ...read more

Unburied Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Apr 5, 2015

The Lord's Supper Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 5, 2014

Advent 2015 - Week 1

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Dec 1, 2015

The birth narrative is an amazing account, filled with characters who are almost larger than life. It is easy for them to overshadow the One person who never says a word. The One coming from Heaven to dwell among us.

First Sunday of Advent - Read - Luke 1:1-4 & 26-38 This may seem like a crazy question but how many of you remember Elvis? Before concerts they would announce to the crowd who was already there that, “Elvis has entered the building.” And the cheers would erupt! Elvis had not yet sung ...read more

Pursuing Peace In Perilous Times

Contributed by Ken Henson on Sep 12, 2020

With demonstrations, riots against injustice around the world, tension among nations, natural disasters, and a global pandemic, we may get caught up in the news to the point that we lose our own peace of mind and heart.

Satan’s Demand Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Jun 1, 2022

Jesus attributes Peter’s coming defection to the direct activity of Satan. Satan comes as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, from the highest leader to the least among us. Why such debilitating attacks?

Sharing Ministry Together

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on May 13, 2021

When the volunteer workload is placed on the shoulders of just a handful of people, then these individuals get burnt out; and since they can’t do everything, then a lot of needs go unmet. Ministry is something to be shared among all believers.

I wish to begin our message by sharing a personal account contributed by a pastor who was serving at a church in Washington State during the wake of the Mount St. Hellens eruption. This pastor said, After Mount St. Helens blew up in May 1980, [the] church needed cleaning up. Ash was in the ...read more

Veterans, A Soldier's Shield

Contributed by Terry Laughlin on May 30, 2006
