Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Oct 22, 2018

Me time is a precious commodity isn’t it? Some folks get a lot of me time all day long but are unwilling to do anything extra for anyone else, while others get very little and always make time to squeeze in one more thing someone asked them to do, into their busy day!

Following Jesus

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 28, 2017

Jesus said, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He also said, "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." So following him is vitally important. How is it done?

Why She Gave Series

Contributed by Scott Sutton on Oct 31, 2022

Christmas is less than 2 months away, in fact it’s only 56 days from today! I don't believe anyone would argue the fact that Christmas is the season of giving. Maybe you remember this book. It is one of the most popular fiction books ever written on the subject of giving at Christmastime.

It is called; "A Christmas Carol” written by Charles Dickens. The publishing of his book was hugely popular; its first printing of 6,000 copies sold out in less than three days, and that was back in 1843 on December 19th just 6 days before Christmas; that was without computers, television, not ...read more

Stand Up, You Dry Bones

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 14, 2013

When God Is Silent

Contributed by David Scudder on Mar 15, 2009

Has anyone ever asked you how you were doing and you said, “I’m fine” when you didn’t mean it? I know I have. Today we may say “I’m fine” but honestly that may not be the case. The author of Psalm 130 was willing to admit that things were not fine.

Ezekiel And The Storm Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

If you were asked to describe God, how would you? For many people, God is a mystery. Yet, I want to take us back in time to ancient Iraq where Ezekiel’s tells of a vision of a great God. The ancient rabbis of ancient of Israel did not want anyone under the age of 30 reading Ezekiel’s prophecy.

The Aim of This Series Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are witnessing a series of encounters between ordinary people and extraordinary God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There’s a crisis, an extraordinary time ...read more

Weightless Faith

Contributed by Trae Durden on Dec 5, 2014

We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is light” (Mt. 11:30). And we choose to run with that “easy” life! We love to forget that He also said, ““If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me” (Mt. 16:24)

Weightless Faith Philippians 3:17-21 Is the Christian life only about avoiding wrong? Is an “Avoidance” lifestyle all that God expects of us or is there more? Like bringing Glory to God in faith by taking action! Serving others! We hear Jesus say “My yoke is easy, My burden is ...read more
