"Turning Points"

Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 28, 2013

God uses the shepherd’s staff here for a very simple reason. Moses was holding one in his hand. He says to Moses what’s that in your hand? What do you have that God can use?

Contributed by Ray Geide on Feb 12, 2013

What do the words, called and chosen, mean? Jesus illustrated it twice.

The Road To Emmaus

Contributed by Clark Harden on Apr 7, 2013

The road to Emmaus involved the two disciples going the right way, obstructions, an account, and a detour.

My Story Is Not Over

Contributed by Donavon Hill on Sep 21, 2017

This is a sermon for anyone who's followed God half-heartedly or been partially obedient. It's a message of hope from the life of Abram/Abraham. He made so many mistakes but God brought him into every promise He had ever made.

Please stand for the reading of the Word Genesis 12 1 Now the Lord had said to Abram: “Get out of your country, from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. 3 ...read more

Have Faith And Pray

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015

Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Jul 7, 2020

Sometimes to be of service in the kingdom of God we must be willing to leave it all behind so the God's will is done in our life. He doesn't always take all but we must be willing to give up all if we are going to see God's will done.

Leave it all behind Genesis chapter 12 Introduction- Good morning, we have come together to worship and lift up the name of Jesus. May your heart and mind be open to hear what He has to say and may the loving grace of our Lord fill you with His presence and His compassion. This morning I want to ...read more
