    The Lesson "ears To Hear" Teaches Us

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 8, 2023
     | 1,894 views

    "He that ears to hear, let him hear.” Why did Jesus say this about the purpose of parables and what does it mean for us today?

    I am going to open the message with the first part of John 16:13 from the Amplified Bible. “But when He, the Spirit of Truth (the Truth-giving spirit) comes, He will guide you into all the Truth (the whole, full Truth).” During the Last Supper, which is recorded in John chapters 13 through 17, ...read more

     | 7,262 views

    Jesus was faced with numerous unfair and unjust accusations and trials... and yet He never responded to those. Why was He silent, and what can that mean to us?

    OPEN: One day my dad was driving down the road a little over the speed limit. He was going about 65 in a 55 mph zone… and then he saw some lights flashing in his rearview mirror. Dad was resigned to the fact he’d have to pay a speeding ticket (after all, he was going 65) and when the policeman ...read more

    The Christmas message was humilty. God could have come in glory and power but came as a humble baby born in a manager. Why did He do this?

    The Christmas message was humility. Did you get it? Philippians 2:5-11 Jesus came to earth. He was born in a humble barn, into a lower middle class family in a lowly town. What an incredible story. Heaven came down to earth but when it did, it came in humility. Why wouldn’t God have come in ...read more

     | 2,977 views

    This time of year, graduations are filled with commencement speakers. Some are boring and some are memorable. What if Daniel of the Bible was chosen to speak at your commencement? Daniel would tell you to navigate your world with care.

    We are grateful to honor some twenty-four seniors today in graduating high school. You are graduating from school with a tremendous future ahead of you. Most of you were blessed by God to be born in the United States, where you have so many educational and financial options available to you. Many ...read more

     | 28,142 views

    This sermon helps debunk the three main reasons (That I see) why people "Almost" enter into a life changing relationship with the Lord, but don’t.

    We have just we started the "Give it Up" series where we are looking at "Giving Up" areas in our life that are not healthy. These are areas that not only hurt ourselves and others, but ultimately break down our relationship with God. Last week as we talked about giving things up, we tackled the ...read more

    As Jeremiah risked everything to buy some apparently worthless real estate in order to give a sign that the Lord would triumph, so I also asked our church to adopt a new but venturesome vision for its life.

    Could I offer you a real estate deal this morning? Oh, it will be the deal of a lifetime! You can’t pass this up! Can I get you to buy a piece of land, sight unseen, in a sort-of shaky area? True, it might be taken over by the military, but, hey, who’s worried about that? Come on and buy! ...read more

    Overcoming Discouragement Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,606 views

    We can be easily defeated by words or ridicule. Pray and focus on what God has called us to do. Overcome fatigue, frustrations and fears by asking God for help, getting reinforcements and remembering the great and awesome God.

    What we learn last week: • God uses anyone who is willing to offer themselves to serve. He looks for availability, not capability. • So you and I have a place in God’s church, and being a member of this Body, our contribution is valuable and vital. • Since we are different ...read more

    How can you respond to the LOVE of Christ? Just like Zacchaeus, this morning you have an opportunity to respond to why God’s love matters …

    Introduction: This morning many of us may be wondering what is this color of Easter? When we spread the canvas of Easter and paint the biblical picture, it has many shades.

    John the baptiser called for believers to repent. This sermon asks what we need to repent of, reminds us we need to turn back to God, and calls for preparation for what God has for us this next year.

    If you were going to describe the time 20 years ago in 1989 when the Churches of the town worked together to plan and produce Festival 89 I wonder what you would say.
