    It's About Souls For The Kingdom

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 19, 2018
     | 3,757 views

    This is a mini sermon used to exhort the congregation before the giving of tithes and offerings. It's designed to help them understand why Jesus' mission (saving souls) must be their mission and the role giving plays in accomplishing it.

    Turn with me to Matthew 4. We’re going to read verses 17-20. (17) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (18) And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the ...read more

    Why do we still need Christmas? It’s a story that’s 2000 years old. Most of us know the plot line and the main characters. There’s no surprise ending this year!

    Gazing On The Radiance Of Jesus

    Contributed by Efren V. Narido on Apr 14, 2025
     | 1,304 views

    Why do we need to fix our mind’s eyes on His Divine Radiance, especially during this holy week? Or, what can we experience, if we gaze on the Excellence of His qualities?

    “Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. During supper, when the devil had already put it into the heart of ...read more

    3 - "You Will Want To Get In On This” -Or- "Come Out, I Want You!” Series

    Contributed by Kent Kessler on Nov 5, 2024
     | 493 views

    Why be separate? We cannot invite people into the temple of God and into his holiness and wholeness if we are not separate and are identified as different. If we do not represent God, how can we invite people to come to him?

    3 - “You will want to get in on this” -OR- “Come Out, I Want You!” “I WILL RECEIVE YOU IF…” 14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or ...read more

    Fret Not

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 29, 2022
     | 4,105 views

    Are circumstances disastrous? Life is chaotic? Then you need to read Psalm 37, which tells us to "fret not." Don't worry, God says! But the big question is, Why?

    We are living in very difficult times right now. Our country is so sharply divided. The wicked schemes of wicked men seem to be prospering. The outcome of the election is still up in the air, and whichever way it goes, a huge group of the population will not accept the outcome. The pandemic ...read more

     | 10,767 views

    Our God is a God who uses even our rebelliousness to bring about his purposes for his people. The people have abandoned God as king, but he doesn’t abandon them. He continues to deliver them, now using the king they’ve asked for as the avenue through whic

    If you thought it was hard to go from a monarchy to a republic, it seems it’s just as hard to go to a monarchy from a Theocracy. You would have to say that Saul has it hard. It takes him three goes before he’s really made king. But then again maybe he was hoping it was all a bad dream so he didn’t ...read more

     | 6,352 views

    What do you think the cross is about? Why do we think Jesus died? We must answer that question. It is the cross that tells us that we are not playing a game of religion. It is the cross that tells us that the stakes are real.

    7/21/13 The Gospel of Christ 1 Corinthians 1:18-25 D. Marion Clark Introduction We have spent two Sundays exploring the gospel of man in its two forms. There is the gospel of law-keeping, which tells us that if we do our part in meeting the requirements of God, he will do his part in accepting ...read more

     | 10,962 views

    People say why doesn’t God do something to help me! The answer is simple we don’t lift our heads to the king of glory and we don’t open the door for him to come in.

     | 9,443 views

    Christmas is meant to be a time of surprises, that's why we wrap up gifts! The first Christmas was definitely a big surprise: Jesus' parents,how He was born,who was notified, how He saved, and that He's coming back!

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,782 views

    Do you wonder why the Bible included the story of Judas’ suicide inside the pages of the Bible? The reason God included the story of Judas is simple: Not even the betrayal of one of Jesus’ chosen twelve can stop the mission of church.

    Today, I want to speak to you on this important topic: “Hope in the Face of Fear.” Isolated from meeting together because of the Coronavirus, we meet for worship online. Of course, there is no substitute for gathering together in person. How I look forward to seeing everyone face to face! I am so ...read more
