    Paul’s Ministry In Thessalonica Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 8, 2024
     | 751 views

    Society is no different today than it was in the 50AD … they too need Jesus! The challenge for us to see today is will we be the ones who are faithful to share Him also? The early Church left us a great roadmap of obedience to follow, if only we will be so bold right now.

    To the Ends of the Earth, Part 25 Paul’s Ministry in Thessalonica Acts 17:1-9 Introduction - Welcome to Seasons Church & 2024 sermon series, “To the Ends of the Earth” -- In 2023 we unpacked the beginning of all history (Creation/Fall/Promise) -- And we looked ahead, anticipated the ...read more

    Reason Comes Home Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025
     | 40 views

    Reason returns to peace when intellect kneels beside humility—uniting thought and wonder, truth and love, to rediscover meaning beyond knowledge.

    The word reason used to sound like a promise. It meant light after darkness, knowledge after superstition, progress after fear. It built microscopes and libraries, engines and empires. It made us believe that if we only learned enough, we could cure every sickness and silence every war. But ...read more

    Oh, To Love

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 47 views

    Jesus restores us after our failures, renewing our love and purpose, and calls us to love others the same way He loves us.

    Picture a quiet moment you wish you could erase from your history. A word you regret. A choice you can’t take back. A time when you told Jesus with your voice, “I love You”… but told Him with your actions, “Not right now.” Every one of us has a chapter like that. Some of us have a whole ...read more

    Contributed by Bruce Lee on May 28, 2025
     | 137 views

    A church had purchased a new grand piano. Not a baby grand but one of the large grand pianos. The only way to get the piano into the Sanctuary was by taking out the back windows and raising the piano over thirty feet into the air.

    Baptized to Go and Bear Fruit “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit--fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” John 15:16 Intro: A church had purchased a new grand piano. Not a baby grand but one of the large ...read more

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Oct 8, 2024
     | 562 views

    One question we must always ask is: Who do we follow? What is it in this world that we call Lord and why does it mean more to us than Him? Paul's testimony about who Jesus is is very clear - and we can learn so much from it in order to follow Jesus closer.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,776 views

    To some outsiders, it must look a little bit crazy. Cause all you talk about is God and Church. Why are you always trying to invite me to church? What's up with all of these stage lights, bands and video screens?

    Looking A Little Bit Crazy Mark 3:20-30 There was a photocopied sign that was posted inside a church office. It was one of those humorous slogans that people in different offices duplicate and pass among themselves. Most of us have seen this particular message, I suppose, but posted in a ...read more
