     | 4,503 views

    Although much of our time is spent on small points of ministry, we must never forget some of the big principles of church life.

    Majoring on the Majors (I Timothy 4:9-16) 1. Peter Roussakis is our resident Greek, so I dug up a Greek joke on the internet in honor of him. If you don’t like it, blame it on him. If you do like it, remember, I’m the one who found it. 2. 3 Greeks and 3 Turks are traveling by train ...read more

    How should a committed Christian's love for God be seen in his or her daily life?

    As begin this series on committed Christianity, it is only proper and fitting that we begin with our thought for today, which is, that a committed Christian adores his Savior. After all, isn’t that the first part of the Great Commandment? “Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God ...read more

    we are reminded that we must have a social conscience

    May the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you, my Lord and my Redeemer.

    Brother against brother. Father against son. Son against father. It was a war that was anything but "civil". Wars are inevitable. What if we could learn to fight fair? What if we could wage civil wars?

    Civil Wars 
Pt. 4 - War and Peace I. Introduction
 The Civil War is an incredibly painful moment in the history of our country. The name is misleading. The war was not civil. It was bloody. It was brutal. Sons and fathers and brothers killed their own family members as battle lines ...read more

    True love is a lot deeper than any of us imagine. Understanding it is probably the most important key to growing as a Christian.

    There are a few times for a pastor teaching through the Word of God when a real defining moment arrives. I feel we are at one of those places today. Often times people want a key to becoming a mature Christian. I believe we have such a key before us today. But make no mistake, what we are about to ...read more

He was a dedicated Christian who, like us all, at times made earthly and unspiritual decisions. He had some serious financial reversals and he lost his home.

    "The Gift Of Hope” Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,564 views

    With the greatest gift ever given, the gift of God’s Son, we have received the gift of hope.

    When Christ came to this earth as a baby born in Bethlehem, He came to a world that was without hope. But He brought hope. Hope is a precious commodity in human life. What a contrast of emotions there is between the words, “hopeless” and “hopeful.” The Bible uses both ideas. “Hopeless” describes ...read more

    A sermon on what happens to the heathen, those who have never heard of the gospel of Jesus Christ? (Material adapted from Dr. Jack Cottrell's book, "Set Free")

    HoHum: For a while people have believed that our problems exist because we are too civilized. If we would just get back to nature, and throw away all of the modern conveniences, and the ideas found in the Christian religion, then we would be like the noble savages of old.

    What is your addiction and can you have mercy on those with other addictions?

    I had my first interaction with cold brewed coffee today and I was confused. If it was cold brewed should I drink it as ice coffee or can I warm it up? Drinking ice coffee in December is odd though in line with science that says we should drink cold drinks in the winter because that turns our ...read more
