Membership Not Required Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Nov 21, 2013

Three Strikes But Not Out!

Contributed by John Bartol on Jan 26, 2013

Insights into the fall of Simon Peter through his threefold denial of Christ. How God used the crowing of a rooster, the look of Christ and the prayer of Christ to bring Peter back with tears of heartfelt repentance.

Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 4, 2011

The chief priests were meticulous in making sure the "blood money" didn't go into the treasury while they were actively working on a murder. What are ways we see the small things while missing the big picture?

The Power Of The Resurrection Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 31, 2009

In this message the fcous is on how the resurrection changed everything. One man recently told me that his church does not make a "big deal" of the cross. The cross and the resurrection are CENTRAL to our faith. Without them we have nothing.
