You're Invited

Section 1 – Introduction: The Search and the Invitation Picture the best church potluck you’ve ever attended. Tables sag under the weight of steaming casseroles, vege meatloaf, fragrant breads, and desserts that dare you to try “just one bite.” Everyone brings something, but nobody goes ...read more

Turning The Tables

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

When pride roars loudest and evil seems unchallenged, God turns the tables—silencing injustice, restoring peace, and defending those who trust Him.

The Lion’s Pride When Nahum wrote his prophecy, Nineveh was still a considerable world dominating power.

Sermon - The Importance Of How We Live

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 12, 2025

In Proverbs 21:21-24 Solomon tackles once again the importance of how we live. All of us are living a life that is on a path, either to righteousness and kindness, which is the path of wisdom and what God desires, or we take a path toward evil and are separated from God.

Sermon - The Importance of How We Live Scripture - Proverbs 21: 21-24 “Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity and honor. One who is wise can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which they trust. Those who guard their mouths and their tongues ...read more

Lot Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Oct 25, 2024

The wickedness of the city may have caused Lot pain, but instead of being an INFLUENCER, he had become the INFLUENCEE. He had squandered his knowledge of God. His very presence in the city and his own actions say – if nothing else - “acceptance” of the swamp he had chosen.

October 26, 2024 We don’t know much about Lot. He is mentioned just 26 times in Genesis, primarily in chapters 13 and 19. We know that his father was Haran and that he joined the household of his uncle Abram and aunt Sarai after the death of his father (interestingly, it was one of Abram’s ...read more
