    What Grace truely means

    INTRO: In Max Lucado’s book In The Grip of Grace he writes: You know what disturbs me most about Jeffrey Dahmer? What disturbs me most are not his acts, though they are disgusting.

    Be Holy... Mission Impossible?

    Contributed by Paul Davidson on May 22, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 23,183 views

    Be Holy… How is this even possible? I have a difficult time just being a decent husband and father. How am I supposed to be as holy as God Himself? I’m just human. I make mistakes. Why am I being commanded to do something that seems to be impossible?

    Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Peter 1:13-22… [READ] Our key verses this morning are verses 15-16… “15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Be Holy… How is this even possible? I have a ...read more

    Thanksgiving message

    In Everything Give Thanks INTRO. The 102 Pilgrims were crammed into the Mayflower’s hold (which was about the size of a volleyball court).

    Father's Day 2015

    This is not, strictly speaking, a Father's Day message. It is about the confusion that has come into the family during this turbulent, chaotic, sinful time. The nuclear family is treated like some useless relic of ages past. What does the Bible say?

    Father’s Day I remember on one Father’s Day we were visiting the church of Karenlee’s Uncle Jim. In SS class the teacher was expounding on Proverbs 22:6, “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” And the main point the ...read more

     | 6,137 views

    Those in humble circumstances and those who are rich undergo testing. This is a continuation of the opening themes of testing, endurance and victory in the first chapter of James.

    Today as we continue in the first chapter of the book of James we will be looking specifically at verses 9 through 12 but before we get into those verses let's read starting at verse one to refresh our minds with what the Lord is saying through James. James 1:1-12 “James, a servant of God ...read more

    A sermon on Romans 14:5-12 on how to view Christians who are different from us (Material adapted from Dave Swavely's book, Who Are You to Judge?, chapter 8, What To Do When Someone Is Different From You)

    HoHum: What to do when someone is different from us and claims to be a Christian- motorcycle club ministry.

    "Seek God’s Will” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Oct 7, 2019
     | 7,974 views

    Seeking god's will begins with our learning to think as God wants us to think. From Epaphras' prayer for the Colossians we learn how we need to go about renewing our minds in order to stand firm in all the will of God.

    Paul shares with the Colossians that their brother in Christ, who was sent to minister to Paul in prison, Epaphras, was “wrestling in prayer” for them that they might “stand firm in all the will of God.” What did Paul mean by “all the will of God?” He was saying we should seek to be in God’s will ...read more

    Personal Holiness provides a glimpse to the world of God's kingdom here on earth.

    As Christians, we are called to live a very distinctive way. Being a Christian is a calling to the hard work of shaping the metal of our lives (our character) into a form that expresses God’s masterpiece within all of us. The whole letter focuses on Christian virtue and character and how ...read more

    The Strategy For Success

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 10, 2019
     | 10,893 views

    Writing his final letter, while facing execution, Paul was not defeated. He had not abandoned the faith. His final instruction was given to his son in the faith, Timothy. Paul longed for Timothy to follow his lead and remain steadfast in the faith.

    The Strategy for Success 2 Timothy 2: 1-6 Our text today comes from the last letter the Apostle Paul would write. At this moment, Paul is very near the end of life. He is confined within the Roman Mamertine prison, awaiting his execution. Paul’s final days are lived in the shadow of the ...read more

    May The Lord Be With You

    Contributed by Darian Catron on May 2, 2025
     | 588 views

    May the Fourth has come to be known for Star Wars fans as a day to celebrate their sci-fi obsession. Some people view the Holy Spirit as a force, like in Star Wars. But the Holy Spirit is God... God with us and in us, empowering us to do the work and accomplish the mission set before us.

    INTRODUCTION: A couple of Sundays ago was Easter Sunday for those of us who follow Christ and celebrate our risen Lord and those celebrating Spring with the annual hunting of the Easter Eggs left by the Easter bunny. But, to my surprise (or perhaps my horror), I found out that a different group ...read more

    In a time when the pace of life is ever-accelerating, and our senses are constantly bombarded with stimuli urging instant action and reaction, the Biblical virtue of self-control remains as pertinent as ever.

    OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Edmund Hilary the first man who conquered Mount Everest was asked by an interviewer about his passions for climbing mountains. He gave this reply: "It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves." Peter the Great of Russia is quoted as saying, "I have been ...read more
