Make Yourself Heard Above The Crowd

Contributed by Craig Condon on Oct 24, 2015

Can you imagine a mother hearing her baby cry and just ignoring it? No way! A mother will do whatever she can to find out what her baby wants or needs and tend to that need. Can you imagine God knowing that we have a need and ignoring it? Not a chance!

Good morning boys and girls! How many of you have a little brother or a little sister? How about a puppy or a kitten? How do they get attention when they want something? They whine or cry when they are hungry, thirsty tired or wet. For example, babies don’t care if they are home or in a ...read more

"Son Of Man"

Contributed by Clark Tanner on Dec 19, 2003

While we celebrate Christmas, with nativity scenes and cute greeting cards, let’s remember this was a real baby; a real Man.

Moving Toward Perfection

Contributed by James May on Feb 10, 2008

Spiritual growth and maturity, and the ability to handle the meat of the Word should come as naturally to the Christian as it is for a newborn baby who grows into maturity.

Moving Toward Perfection By Pastor Jim May Have you developed a good set of spiritual teeth this morning so that you can handle the meat of God’s Word; or are you still trying to live on milk alone? As I look at the church of today, much of what I see is just milk. It’s as though people are ...read more

The Unsafe Savior Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 26, 2005

Why is Christmas seemingly under attack? Why would a seemingly harmless story of a baby in a manger stall elicit such anger and opposition?

It was carved out of olive wood in Bethlehem itself, and had all the traditional figures - sheep and oxen, wise men and shepherds. ...read more

The Babe In The Manger

Contributed by Joe Adaline on Dec 22, 2005

The Christ child represents a lot of figures in our world. That is one of the reasons that God, in his divine wisdom sent a baby into this world.

We have seen as the prophets foretold the Messiah would come. We see that Christ comes in the form of a child, a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. God in his wisdom saw this mere infant as representing mankind in so many ways. Let’s look at the ways God represents Christ in ...read more

"congratulations! It's A Savior!" Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jul 25, 2021

God continues to look for women and men like Mary and Joseph. People who will pursue obedience, whatever the cost. People who will trust God – even though the outcome seems unsure. God continues to raise up people for His purposes.

When I first proposed doing this, I know that it struck a lot of you … well, probably all of you … as something odd … out of the ordinary. When it came time, you weren’t sure what to do. Do we put up our traditional Christmas decorations? And, again, I’m sure that you found my answer a bit odd … ...read more
