    The Triumphant Entry Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 25, 2023
     | 2,959 views

    The Roman authorities paid little attention to Jesus riding in on a donkey, but in the scheme of all eternity it was the most significant event.

    This passage that we know as Jesus triumphant entry is also well known to all Christians because it is the focus of Palm Sunday the week before Easter. It is an annual tradition of the church to make this an emphasis at the beginning of holy week. Almost every Sunday School child has carried a palm ...read more

     | 2,797 views

    Do you have a faith that is worth dying for?

    Pressing Towards the Goal Philippians 3:4-14 We live in a world today in which many people have to motivations other than to get through another day. People seem to have nothing to live for. Drug abuse, alcoholism, homelessness, suicide, fear, and a general sense of despair has gripped the ...read more

    The Pathway To Kingdom Greatness Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 5, 2023
     | 2,078 views

    In the kingdom of God, relationships are more important than positions of authority and prestige. Jesus gives us the pathway to kingdom greatness.

    Sermon: The Pathway to Kingdom Greatness Scripture: Matthew 18:1-11 “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” 2 Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them.3 Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your ...read more

    God’s List Of Do’s And Don’ts (1-3)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 15, 2022
     | 2,887 views

    Often, when God’s man has the courage to stand before the people of God, and declare the whole counsel of God’s Word, it does not earn him any favorable treatment.

    Why? Because he tells them things they do not want to hear. For example, how many would turn to the astrology section of the newspaper, if it told them something like this, “You are a very dumb person, and because of that, some very bad things are going to happen to you today!” They turn to the ...read more

    "The Church – The Body Of Jesus On Earth”...... "The Mission Statement Of Jesus”

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jan 20, 2022
     | 2,072 views

    The home coming of Jesus is similar to a 25th or 50th class reunion. Old playmates wanted demonstrations in their village, not the message of salvation. Leonard Sweet said: “Jesus is on earth today but not as an individual. He is here in the form of the “ekklesia”, the church.

    In Jesus Holy Name January 23, 2022 Luke 4:18-19 Epiphany IV “The Church – The Body of Jesus on Earth” “The Mission Statement of Jesus” Over the weekend at our church campout the topic came up regarding high school and college reunions. The very first thing that happens when you ...read more

     | 2,319 views

    Moses was willing to refuse to be known as a son of Pharoah’s daughter (Hebrews 11:24). If you had been Moses, could you have made the same choice? Today, we will look at Grit, Growth and Glory because those three are connected.

    FAITH MATTERS Hebrews 11: 24-26, 29-34, By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called a son of Pharaoh's daughter, (25) choosing rather to share ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.

    Live your life as your spiritual nature directs you. Then you will never follow through on what your corrupt nature wants. There is a war going on inside of you, but the Bible teaches that you can have Holy Ghost Victory!

    Galatians 5:16-18 (NKJV) Walk in the Spirit August 4, 2022 Intro: Verse14 & 15 - For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another! The ...read more

    So what are you going to get Jesus for his birthday? What do you think he wants most?

    As sometimes happens, this sermon took a different turn after I had named it and put together the bulletin. The initial idea was the issue of this new database that the Defense Department is putting together, that has the civil libertarians up in arms over the loss of privacy. Because no matter how ...read more

     | 1,193 views

    We do not need parlor tricks or cute gimmicks to follow & obey God, what we need is faith that He has already done what He said He would do. He rescued Noah and his family because they obeyed His word. In fact … Noah shows us how God responds to our faithfulness!

    Alpha and Omega, Part 12 We must believe God’s commands Genesis 6:1-22 Introduction - We’ve begun 2023 with “one purpose”: Knowing there is a God! -- Continuing our series, “Alpha and Omega”; examining the beginning to the end - Last week: God’s plan of redemption was not a knee-jerk ...read more

    How To Become A Great Servant Of The Lord (Sermon On Christian Service)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,997 views

    Every Christian is a servant of the Lord. The things that separate us as servants are those two adjectives, GOOD and BAD.

    But let me preface this sermon by saying that we have some VERY GOOD SERVANTS of the Lord in this church. God knows who they are, and we who watch the fruit they bear also know. God has blessed them in this life, and He will bless them in the life to come. King Hezekiah was probably one of the ...read more

    Every football coach dreams of recruiting eleven of the greatest football players together on one team.

    If a coach could recruit such players, he would have one of the best teams in the nation. Every coach knows that he would have a winning team if he could recruit such players. We all know that the success of every team is based on recruiting. We learn that as a child. Illus: Remember, when ...read more

    The Dream Of Pilate’s Wife

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 9, 2022
     | 3,885 views

    Pilate had to face the decision of what to do with Jesus. With sins dragging on him and forces of evil crying for Christ's blood, Pilate stood in the balance. Just then, his wife had a dream from God to warn him. We all are warned not to decide this wrongly.

    THE DREAM OF PILATE’S WIFE Matt. 27:11-26 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE AGGIE’S LAST REQUEST 1. Back in the Old West three Texas cowboys were about to be hung for cattle rustling. The lynch mob brought the three men to a tree that hung over the Rio Grande River. 2. The idea was that after each ...read more

    As we enter many towns we see that they have a sign at the city limits that often tells us the name of the town and gives a BIG welcome to all who enter!

    Signs can be very interesting, such as: • In a Non-smoking area a sign said: "If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action." • On Maternity Room door: "Push, Push, Push." • At an Optometrist's Office: "If you don't see what ...read more

    "The Puzzle Of The Be Attitudes”

    “The Beatitudes are not teachings on ‘how’ to be blessed. They are not instructions to do anything. Jesus is not telling anyone they would be better off being ‘financially’ poor. (Dallas Willard) Is Luke 6 about Jesus fulfilling His Mission statement? Luke 4

    In Jesus Holy Name February 13, 2022 Luke 6:17 “The Puzzle of the Be Attitudes” Philip Yancy in his book “The Jesus I Never Knew” wrote the following when he read the 1st Beatitude in Luke 6. “I became so convicted about my addiction to material things that I gave away to a friend my ...read more
