  • Which Bridge Is Safe?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Apr 8, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,302 views

    Using the analogy of a bridge crossing a chasm, we discuss that even though there seems to be many bridges available, only one really leads to the other side and we must be careful when deciding which bridge.

    When you are planning a trip, how good are you at determining which way to get there? Do you just take a guess at which roads to take, or do you actually get a map out and plan your trip? Of course, smart money is always on the one who plans the trip, but I think we would be shocked to find out ...read more

  • To Protect And To Serve

    based on 9 ratings
     | 13,700 views

    We invited the local Chief of Police to speak to our congregation and to our youth. After his talk, this is the short message we gave to close the service.

    TO PROTECT AND TO SERVE That motto is used to describe the original description of our federal government’s purpose. It is primarily to protect "we the people" from those in our society that would hurt us so that Americans can live in the pursuit of happiness. That being said, it would be ...read more

  • The Rapture Of The Church

    based on 9 ratings
     | 12,605 views

    An explanation of what the Rapture is, and what the Bible says about when it will occur.

    Each time we observe Communion, we read the passage in 1 CORINTHIANS 11 that tells us to eagerly look forward to the return of Christ. But nobody knows when that will be. Today, we will find out what we are supposed to do with that information. Let me begin by telling you a story of a man who ...read more

  • 1 Corinthians 10: Paul's Love For Others

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 12, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,627 views

    Showing how sin leads us away from God, and if we are condemned we will not return, but if we are loved, we will.

    Today, we continue with our teaching in 1 Corinthians 10. We will begin with verse 8. But before we begin, I want to briefly set it up by giving you a quick overview of the entire chapter. God had set the Israelites free from their bondage in Egypt and they were now headed to the Promised Land. ...read more

  • How To Be Blessed Beyond Measure

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 17, 2014
    based on 5 ratings
     | 21,074 views

    This message explains why we do not have blessings or joy in our lives and how we go about getting those blessings from God. To do so, we use the passage found in PSALM 1:1-6 as our main authority.

    My father used to tell us boys that everyone has someone who is in authority over them. He said that every soldier has a sergeant; every worker has a foreman; and then with a wink, he would add, “And every husband has a wife.” And even though he was joking when he said that, he ...read more

  • The Communion

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Oct 31, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 55,303 views

    An explanation of what the Lord's Supper is, where it derived from, and how we are told to partake of it today. It includes why young children should not partake, nor anyone who has sin in their hearts.

    Today is the first Sunday of the month, and this is the Sunday which we will observe the Lord’s Supper. We will do that at the end of the service today, so I thought it appropriate to talk about Communion so that all would understand what it is, what it means, and that we can be on the same ...read more

  • Do You Know Him?

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 7, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 19,354 views

    More of an exhortation type proclamation on who Jesus is. The better we understand Him, the more we will be able to trust Him, and the more we will be able to surrender to Him.

    As Christians, we are always energized when we see others coming to Christ and surrendering their own wills over to His will for them. But as glorious of a thing as that is, it is also the main reason why more people do not come to Christ: Because they would have to surrender their own wills to ...read more

  • Thanking Our Veterans

    Contributed by Bruce Ball on Nov 9, 2014
    based on 9 ratings
     | 27,851 views

    We are called to remember many things, including our veterans. This sermon analyzed why and how we can show our love, appreciation and our thanks to them for all the things they have afforded our nation.

    This coming Tuesday is our yearly Veteran’s Day holiday. It is a time set apart to remember, celebrate and honor our veterans. But to do so properly, I think we should know what the word “veteran” means. So, I looked it up in the dictionary. The definition of ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 1.

    A little 5-year old girl was "helping" her mother fix dinner one evening when the mother asked her to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomatoes. The little girl said she was afraid to go in there because it was dark. The mother told her it was okay, as nothing was going to hurt her because ...read more

     | 7,864 views

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 2.

    In my very first position as a Senior Pastor, I quickly became aware of the major problem found in churches today. About three months into the job, I preached about the Rapture. I made sure it was not the old "hellfire & brimstone" type of message, and I even added some levity to a few parts, but ...read more

     | 5,762 views

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 3.

    I remember when I was in grade school, I really thought that going to school was a waste of time. I knew the teachers were well educated, but I also thought that, as we lived and grew older, nobody would ever need all the information they were trying to teach us. A good friend of mine agreed ...read more

    An easy-to-understand study on Revelation 4.

    There are three views on the Rapture. That we will be taken up before the Tribulation period; that we will be taken up halfway through the Tribulation period; and that we will not be taken up until after the Tribulation period. There seems to be some scriptures that can be made to fit any of ...read more

    This chapter deals with things that are written in a scroll; a scroll that was in God’s hands and which had a message from God to us.

    An easy-to-understand study of Revelation 6.

    I heard a story that took place in a western town in the late 1800’s. It told of a horse that was spooked and then bolted, running away uncontrollably with a small boy in the bed of the wagon. Seeing the child was in grave danger, a young man risked his life to catch the horse and stop the wagon, ...read more

    An easy-to-read and easy-to-understand study on Revelation 7.

    Two preachers were holding up signs on a portion of roadway, trying to get the attention of passing cars. The first preacher’s sign read, “THE END IS NEAR!” A sports car flew by and upon reading the sign, the driver slowed down and yelled to the preacher, “TELL SOMEBODY ...read more
