The Heart Of A Servant

Contributed by Christian Jones on Jun 9, 2023

Good morning church! I want to explore the valuable lessons on having a servant's heart that we can learn from 1 Timothy 6:11-12. As we look into this passage, let us be inspired by the example of the apostle Paul and reflect on how we can cultivate the heart of a true servant in our own lives.

Point 1: Pursue Righteousness (1 Timothy 6:11a) A servant's heart is rooted in a deep desire to pursue righteousness. It involves a deliberate choice to walk in obedience to God's commands and live a life that aligns with His will. Proverbs 21:21 - "He that followeth after ...read more

Not Of This World!

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Jul 22, 2023

All of us, at some point in time, have a mutual desire. To be accepted. To feel wanted, loved and appreciated. Most of us want it so bad, we lose sight of our faith in the Lord. My Pastor has said on many occasions, "Compromise with the world is treason in the courts of Heaven."

All of us, at some point in time, have a mutual desire. To be accepted. To feel wanted, loved and appreciated. Most of us want it so bad, we lose sight of our faith in the Lord. Paul warns us about this very thing in Romans 12:1-2, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of ...read more

Chronos: Galatians 2 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Nov 19, 2022

Our salvation is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and His righteousness. Jesus + Something = Nothing … or… Jesus + Nothing = Everything.

This week we continue our series called Chronos. A term which means time. We have decided to study the scriptures this year in the order they were published. It gives us a very unique insight into the early church and the struggles of a growing movement. This review of history is important because ...read more

Lovers Leap Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 28, 2022

The lack of an apostrophe in the title is not an error: it's a simple declarative sentence. Lovers of Jesus take the leap of faith.

I love the Indiana Jones movies. I think my all-time favorite will always be the first one, Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the third one, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, is almost as good. How many of you have seen it? Sean Connery (who played Indy’s father) was almost as gorgeous as Harrison ...read more

Break Free From The Past

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 29, 2022

Paul explains true Christian behavior. The old nature is dead. We are to accept Jesus as our Savior and put on the new nature. When we let Christ in our hearts, He changes us into what we should be.

Look Up: In verses 1-4: “For ye are dead.” Simply put, we died. We should have little desire for this world and what it has to offer. Our old nature has been removed. We that have been born again are dead to sin; its dominion has been broken. Our real home is in Heaven with Jesus. -- John ...read more

Love Your Neighbour As Yourself.

Contributed by Dotun Jegede on Feb 26, 2023

"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself...*Mark 12:31a.

Can we put down our mobile devices (mobile phone, laptop, social media handle mail-tray for our spouses to view and go through)? Any hidden text, voice note, any thou shall not see secret messages shared with a strange lover? If we truly love our partners, can we disclose the real thing that ...read more

Making A Decent Proposal Series

Contributed by David Owens on May 30, 2022

In this sermon on Ruth chapter 3, Naomi encourages Ruth to make a bold and decent proposal to Boaz. From Naomi, Ruth and Boaz we learn the importance of stepping out in faith and doing the right things the right way.

A. Today, as we return to the story of Ruth, we will witness an unusual marriage proposal, so I thought it would be fun to start with a few funny marriage proposals I found on the internet. 1. This first picture shows the importance of getting things in the right position when making a successful ...read more

Fill Up Those Moral Valleys; Bring Low That Pride Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Nov 28, 2021

God’s vision for the earth, for humanity, is so much broader and better than any civil engineering project.

Second Sunday of Advent I have to admit that when I read the words, “Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low, and the crooked made straight and the rough ways smooth,” I get a mental picture of some A&M graduate, or someone out of one of our other great ...read more

The Real Virus

Contributed by Michael Collins on Sep 2, 2021

This is a message about what I call, 'The Real Virus,' referring to sin.

One of the most widely-used words perhaps since Jan 2020 would be the word, 'Virus,' (in various languages of course). We’ve had to contend with this virus since then, and we still continue to do so. It’s also one of the main causes for fear, anxiety, grief, loss and so much more. It seems ...read more
