    The second in a series on the book of 1st Thessalonians. This sermon discusses how we as Christians are stewards of the Gospel. We are to share it, no matter the cost.

    Stewards of the Good News Text: 1st Thess. 2:1-12 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) If you remember this letter was written to the Thessalonians around 50 AD. That means that Paul, Silas and Timothy had probably been in Thessalonica around 15 to 20 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus. ...read more

    based on 7 ratings
     | 8,559 views

    This message from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Living life, parenting, retirement and ministry can all become burdensome. These burdens can often be almost more than we can bear. We have grown to accept this as a part of living life in the twenty-first century. Imagine if you will if Jesus would have chosen to live in modern America rather than ...read more

    Apostle Philip Series

     | 9,617 views

    Philip came from the town of Bethsaida, the town of Peter and Andrew.-- "Philip" is a Greek name, meaning "lover of horses." He probably also had a Jewish name as well, because all twelve apostles were Jewish. --- But his Jewish name is never given.

    God redeems language and people groups by sending scouts willing to take on the giants.

    <The Tootsie roll owl commercial launches the message> Did you know that that commercial is almost 50 years old? It’s memorable.

    Sardis: Socially Active But Spiritually Dead

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 3, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,724 views

    Sardis was the fifth church Jesus addressed in the Revelation. While the letter was shorter than the others, this one was the most severe. Apparently, Sardis has assimilated into the culture - with little difference known between the church and the world.

    Sardis: Socially Active but Spiritually Dead Revelation 3: 1-6 As we continue to examine the churches to whom John sent letters, we come to the fifth – the church at Sardis. Of the seven, the message to Sardis was the most severe. They were content to rely on prior works and a reputation from the ...read more

    We must make a great sacrifice and be willing to follow God FIRST, if we are ever going to be successful at living the life of a Christian. Noah shows us how, if we will choose to put those things into practice.

     | 996 views

    Enoch walked with God in a declining culture. He had a very close relationship with God in a world and at a time that was becoming very wicked. He was a powerful preacher.

    Text: Genesis 5:21-24, & Jude 1:14-15 Theme: Prophet Enoch Greetings: The Lord is good and his love endures forever! Introduction: The prophetic ministry is one of the five-fold ministry in the church. Ephesians 4:11: "It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to ...read more

    Paul wrote to enlighten the believers who were in the midst of confusion. We learn to be discerning, to love the truth, and to contend for the faith.

    2 Thess 2:1-5 Hold Fast to the Truth 2 Thess 2:1-3a 1 Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to Him, we ask you, brothers, 2 not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the ...read more

    Life, Death, And Forever

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025
     | 87 views

    Scripture teaches that immortality is God’s gift through Christ; death is unconscious sleep, and final judgment ends sin and sinners completely and forever.

    (Common Notions vs. Biblical Truth) Introduction – Two Funerals, Two Stories A few years ago, I attended two very different funerals only weeks apart. At the first, music played softly as family members and friends shared memories. Again and again people said things like, “She’s looking down on ...read more

    NOT A REAL CHRISTIAN Have you ever had someone tell you that you’re not really a Christian or not saved?

    "pointing To Jesus"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Dec 12, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,307 views

    Like John the Baptist, our lives are to point others to Christ.

    “Pointing to Jesus” John 1:6-8, 19-29 Many thanks to Adam Hamilton’s book: “Prepare the Way for the Lord” for helping guide me in this sermon. John the Baptist is famous for many things, but his most important role is to point away from himself and toward Jesus. In our Gospel Lesson for this ...read more
