If I Had But One Year To Live!

Contributed by Melvin Newland on May 5, 2015

“What would I do if I had but one year to live?” And to make it a little bit more personal, “What would you do if you knew you had but one year to live?” Well, as I lay there in my sick bed, here are some of my answers.

MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I have discovered that when you are sick that here are a lot of different thoughts that can pop into your mind. And some of those thoughts may linger for a while, causing you to mull them over & dwell upon them in your mind. As I told ...read more

A Mary's Story Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2016

Mary of Bethany displays the extravagant nature of worship as she anoints Jesus, and in so doing gives us all the model of the life of a disciple.

Mission: Possible--The Call Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Feb 16, 2016

Christ called disciples to a mission in the world. The call is distinctive, costly and transforming. This sermon touches on who Christ calls, the cost involved and the priority of the mission.

Mission is such a nebulous word. When we talk about mission in church settings, our minds immediately go the work we do in the community and around the world—we think about the church being in missions. We begin this message series and have made the focus of this Lenten season Mission: ...read more

Commanded To Love Each Other Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Feb 16, 2016

Disciples who Love Straight to the question: If you could only use one word to describe God what word would you choose? Would it be Almighty? Omnipotent? Creator? It’s Valentines Day and the word I am looking for is Love! The bible tells us simply and clearly that “God is ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jun 3, 2011

This series of 6 messages looks at the design of the tabernacle as a template for drawing near to God. The Altar of Incense represents worship. In worship we are transported into God's presence, transformed by God's power and transfixed by God's glory.
