    based on 1 rating
     | 2,489 views

    Today we continue our account with the aftermath. How did the betrayal effect Judas? How did things turn out for him? Spoiler alert-not very well.

    JUDAS THE BETRAYER (part two) Last week we saw that Judas actually started out well. He was chosen to be an apostle, he was chosen to be the treasurer and he was sent out by Jesus with the others to heal people and drive out evil spirits. But somewhere along the way, he changed and allowed Satan ...read more

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,740 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

    The Least Of These

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 27, 2021
     | 4,961 views

    The title is taken from Jesus' words in Mt. 25 when he said, 'whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine you did for me'. Let's look at how Jesus ministered to the less fortunate.

    THE LEAST OF THESE The title is taken from Jesus' words in Mt. 25 when he said, 'whatever you did for the least of these brothers of mine you did for me'. Jesus didn't use that phrase to indicate that the people he was referring to were the least important. In fact, in Luke 9:48 ...read more

    Why Are We Free?

     | 2,376 views

    Today we celebrate our nation's freedom. Our forefathers sought freedom from England and drafted the Declaration of Independence. What about us? Why did we need to be set free, what set us free and why have we been set free?

    WHY ARE WE FREE? Today we celebrate our nation's freedom. In 1776 the Declaration of Independence was drafted. The colonists wanted to be declared free from Great Britain. They were getting tired of the taxes levied upon them as well as a few other rules and regulations that were put in place ...read more

    Antidotes For Anger

     | 5,570 views

    Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned. Cease from anger because it rests in the bosom of fools.

    ANTIDOTES FOR ANGER Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools (Ecclesiastes 7:9) Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned (Gautama Buddha).

    Quien quiera hacer el cielo en el último día debe demostrar el amor incondicional de Dios a los demás. No debe maltratar a los demás, sino demostrar el amor ágape que Dios aprueba.

    ATRIBUTOS DEL VERDADERO AMOR "El amor sufre mucho y es bondadoso; el amor no tiene envidia; el amor no se pavonea, no se hincha; no se comporta con rudeza, no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no piensa el mal; no se alegra de la iniquidad, sino que se alegra de la verdad; todo ...read more

    The Stages Of Discipleship Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 26, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,530 views

    It is God's will for people to progress through the stages of discipleship from being spiritually dead, to being a spiritual infant, child, young adult, and parent. We must be able to assess where we are and where others are in the process so we all can grow to maturity.

    A. I like the story told of the little boy who was confused about something and said to his Bible class teacher: “There’s somethin’ I can’t figger out.” 1. The teacher said, “What is it, Joey?” 2. Joey said, “Well accordin’ to the Bible, the Children of Israel crossed the Red Sea, right?” a. “ ...read more

    No Tripping Allowed

    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,166 views

    Simple thought -- IF TRIPPING IS NOT ALLOWED IN FOOTBALL, a game where people are supposed to be knocking each other down, it CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN CHURCH, a place where people should be helping and holding one another other up.

    TITLE: NO TRIPPING ALLOWED SCRIPTURE: I CORINTHIANS 8:1-13 / ROMANS 14:1-12 Autumn is approaching and begins in just 12 days. With this change of seasons it also means there will be lots of football games on television. College football season has already begun, therefore; at least occasional ...read more

    Going Into Battle

     | 12,187 views

    But the church today isn’t living in power, it isn’t going into to battle and we have a hard time obeying Jesus. Even Christians dislike each other and sometimes even hate each other. Even Christians would rather do worldly things rather than Godly thin

    Going Into Battle ME Not too long ago, when HBO had a free weekend I watched a war movie called Hacksaw Ridge. The movie is about Desmond Doss. Desmond wanted to help with the war, but he would not kill anyone, he wanted to be a medic and help the wounded. The movie is based on a true story. ...read more

    If there one passage that defines this culture, it is Matthew 7:1-5. Since the Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage, this passage has been pushed to the forefront. This message examines what Jesus meant when he said, "Do not judge."
