Imitators Of God

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 14, 2022

We should imitate both God's love and His purity in the way that we live. But that kind of life is only possible as we allow the Holy Spirit to fill us.

Many of you have probably seen the movie Groundhog Day where Bill Murray portrays Phil, a grumpy weatherman who got stuck living the same day, February 2, over and over again. Every morning he woke up to the same song and the same DJ announcing, “It's Groundhog Day!” The movie made us think: ...read more

Cheap Talk And Free Speech Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

Words have power. And whether that power accomplishes good or evil depends on where it comes from, and what it is intended to do.

“Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.” You’ve all heard that saying, haven’t you? We’ve probably all used it, in fact - usually when a child comes home from school upset because someone called her a bad name. We do distinguish between words and actions. That is what ...read more

Anointed Worship

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024

It's easy to put on a show for others to see but is your worship heartfelt? Are you preoccupied with this idea that Jesus must be exalted through every facet of your life?

Opening illustration: Some of us may feel pressured to be perfect when we go to church so that people will think well of us. Metaphorically speaking, we work hard to make sure we have every hair in place. But a healthy church is a place where we can let down our hair and not hide our flaws behind a ...read more

Awaken To The Times

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024

Though the world may persecute us, and evil may seem to prevail, we must still work for Christ. The Church must shine for Him. We must preach and demonstrate the gospel, for without us, how will the world know Christ?

Opening illustration: All of us are slaves to time. We wear wristwatches or have timers on our smart phones to keep us on schedule. We have digital clocks in our car and alarm clocks on our nightstands. Lots of people keep a Day-Timer nearby so they can keep track of their appointments and ...read more

Confidence During Uncertainty

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 21, 2022

Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.

Beware Of False Prophets

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

There are many false prophets in the world today, and there are many false and crooked preachers. This passage provides some insight on how to identify those who are sharing false revelations and teaching false doctrine.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Beware of False Prophets.” I watch a lot of Christian programming on YouTube; and YouTube, through its algorithms, tries to tailor a watch list that lines up with my own preferences. But instead of getting sound Christian programming, the algorithm keeps ...read more

Preaching From Philippians #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 31, 2022

In the last sermon, we dealt with Paul stating that whether he lived or died, his purpose for living was for the Lord Jesus.

When he wrote to the Philippian church, he was in prison. In prison he knew that he faced a capital crime and that he might be executed. If you were in prison and you thought that you might die, what kind of letter would you write? We do not have to guess at what kind of letter the Apostle Paul ...read more

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Apr 28, 2025

This Mother’s Day I am reminded of Jochebed, the mother of Moses, who exemplifies the meaning of parenting and God’s special role for mothers (parents) in their upbringing. God has a plan for children and has given parents to help them along this path.

Celebrate The Victory

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 29, 2024

Many in our country, even of our leaders, have forgotten God. So can we still celebrate? Yes we can. Over the years God has blessed this nation. That is something to celebrate! And we have even more to celebrate when we know Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.

Alba 5-30-2024 CELEBRATE THE VICTORY I John 2:12-14 This week our country will once again celebrate our independence from other countries. It took a war to free us from British dominance.

Joy becomes the fragrance of a heart touched by the gospel, where obedience grows not from pressure but from Christ living within us.

INTRODUCTION — CHILDREN’S SONG I want to begin tonight with something simple— something every one of us learned before we could spell “theology.” A children’s song. We didn’t realize it at the time, but that little song was preaching to us long before we understood it: “I’ve got the joy, joy, ...read more
