    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Nov 17, 2025
     | 142 views

    Jesus urges His followers to be aware of stumbling blocks - whether they are in our path or blocks that we might place in the paths of others. He calls us to demonstrate radical forgiveness - modeled after his scandalous grace.

    In response to the ridicule of the Pharisees and their propensity to greed and service to mammon, Jesus turns aside to his disciples with some very important and challenging comments. He begins by noting that they and we should… Recognize Reality (1-3a) Luke 17:1 ESV And he said to his disciples, ...read more

    An Ancient Promise Kept

    The Incarnation was the fulfillment of an ancient promise by God.

    Christmas, the birth of Jesus Christ, the Incarnation was the fulfillment of an ancient promise by God. Now ancient is an interesting term, at least in its usage. Children can use it to describe some-thing from their parents’ growing up years – IOW 30 or so years before, thus to them 30 years in ...read more

    Be Cautious About Judging Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,746 views

    When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

    This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

    Let It Go Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 15, 2021
     | 7,731 views

    Some people get depressed when they see the trees losing their leaves in autumn. Some even say that the trees look sad. Autumn though shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. We need to consider what, in our lives, we need to drop in order to heal our souls, move forward in our lives and grow.

    source: http://www.jokes4us.com/miscellaneousjokes/weatherjokes/falljokes.html Why does Humpty Dumpty love autumn? Because he had a great fall! Why are trees very forgiving? Because in fall they “let it go” and in the spring, they “turn over a new leaf.” Fall is a time of transition. There are ...read more

    Living In The Tree Of Life (Part 1)

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,615 views

    Many believers are living in fear, guilt, shame, and condemnation. They are partaking of death instead of life; unknowingly eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, instead of eating from the tree of life.

    This morning I want to talk about life, not the facts of life or difficulties of life, but how to have true life in the Lord. In our United States Declaration of Independence we encounter the phrase, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” which is one of the most well known statements in ...read more

    Heal The Wound, Leave The Scar

    Contributed by Shawn Andrews on Mar 14, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,236 views

    Big Idea: Forgiveness is healing the wound, even if it leaves a scar. Forgiving others means choosing not to be imprisoned by the actions of our offender. Jesus will heal our wound, but the scar remains to remind us of God’s work of grace in our lives.

    INTRO: STORY: Last year, you all know I had shoulder surgery. I didn’t want to have surgery. I avoided it as long as possible. But eventually, my shoulder hurt all the time. It became debilitating. It was only when I became aware of what my wound was keeping me from, was I willing to do ...read more

    "love Who?" "my Enemies!?"

     | 8,489 views

    Words matter. Words communicate. As a master teacher Jesus used words and literary devices to enhance his teaching with great power and insight. He often used 'hyperbole.'

    The Gospel of Luke-Pt.18: “Love who? My Enemies!” I walked through hell this week. My personal world was on fire and everyone unloaded their problems on me. I ended the week with the weight of the world upon my shoulders. Let me ask you, ‘What kind of week did I have?’ Yes, you would be ...read more

    What We Know About Heaven Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 7, 2019
     | 5,435 views

    Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.” Jesus wants us to trust Him and the Father. This is the key to heaven.

    What We Know About Heaven The Holy Spirit has decided to NOT tell us very much about heaven. I don't claim to know the mind of God but I do have an opinion on the subject. I suggest that He wants us to eagerly anticipate going there, having many mysteries revealed, seeing friends and loved ...read more

    Mary learned to trust the great I Am, not just for the things in the past but to trust in who He is right now, the resurrection and the life. Not just for the future but for her present situation and reality.

    John chapters 11-12 record the last week of Jesus' life, and we are now seeing more of the personal interactions between Jesus and those closest to Him. Because it was a week before the Passover celebration, pilgrims from all over the region were arriving a week early to prepare themselves for ...read more

     | 411 views

    The sermon invites believers to the Lord’s Supper as a place of grace, unity, and renewal, where Christ’s presence and promises nourish and sustain us.

    Pull up a chair at the table of grace. Imagine the Savior’s hands—steady, scarred, and sure—lifting bread and a cup. Imagine the warmth of lamplight, the closeness of friends, and the quiet hush that falls when Jesus speaks. A table gathers people. A table settles hearts. A table says, "Come and be ...read more

That’s the holy heartbeat of the church: arms open, hearts open, doors open. In a world quick to label and slow to listen, the family of God is called to be the place ...read more
