    If you want to win the prize of new followers of Christ, submit yourself to unbelievers and discipline yourself for the task.

    A drunken man got on the bus late one night, staggered up the aisle, and sat next to a woman who was clutching a Bible. She looked the wayward drunk up and down and said, “I've got news for you, mister. You're going straight to hell!” The man jumped up out of his seat and shouted, ...read more

    What Is It Going To Be - Abiding Or Blacksliding? 1 John 2 V 28-29 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,731 views

    It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.

    MESSAGE – WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE - ABIDING OR BLACKSLIDING? 1 John 2 v 28-29 1John 2 v 28 Now, little children, abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 1John 2 v 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone ...read more

    The path of least resistance is a path that many choose throughout life, because it requires so little of them

    It is a path that most have taken. However, life teaches us in many ways that the great things of life cannot be accomplished by taking the path of least resistance.

    Memorial Day: This message is written by a former Civil Air Patrol Chaplain. We can learn some things from our military men and women that apply to our walk with the Lord and the Christian fight for people's spiritual freedom.

    What gives us our identity is not color or culture. But “chosenness.” Christians are not the white race; they are the chosen race. Christians are not the black race; they are the chosen race.

    “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but ...read more

    Fast food restaurants ask you, “Would you like to supersize your drink?” Warehouse stores sell Costco and Sam’s Club offer us items in bulk – really big sizes. It seems like the only item in modern day life that hasn’t been upgraded is God.

    Today, we continue a short 4-week series entitled God is Bigger. Pause for a moment because I want everyone to hear this question: How big is your God? How capable is God in your mind? J.B. Phillips wrote a book that he gave a title that fascinates me entitled, Your God Is Too Small. He writes, ...read more

    God created every person on purpose and put us in a place to live out His purposes.

    Our perspective is important when seeking to understand something.

    The Problem With Racism Series

     | 1,930 views

    During the days after the Civil War up thru the 1960s, there were many "Christians" in the U.S. who embraced bigotry and mistreated the black people around them. Why would supposed Christians do that, and how do we protect ourselves from that kind of evil?

    Martin Luther King Jr. Day was last Monday (1/20/25). He once said: “The time is always right to do what is right.” Today, our sermon is going to be on racism, not because I think any of us are racist - but because, as Christians, we need to know what the Bible says about it. Martin Luther ...read more

    Satan and God have two very different ways they want us to look at trouble and temptation in our life.

    "Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one ...read more
