Proof

Contributed by Horace Wimpey on Apr 18, 2014

God, You Want Me To Do What? Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 9, 2013

This is the fourth message in a series based on Moses and shows that being God's man is never easy. This message examines how God often calls us out of our comfort zones.

The majority of us would agree that failure is quite unpleasant. In fact failure often causes guilt and ultimately shame. Guilt and shame have the ability to paralyze us, make us feel unworthy and believe that God could never use us. These feelings often cause us to respond to God in three negative ...read more

Contributed by Stephen Evans on Nov 27, 2013

In this series of messages we focus on cultivating a thankful heart and enemies that present themselves to prevent us from being truly Thankful people. This Message speaks about the enemy of "Entitlement."

Wealth Is A Gift From God

Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Aug 9, 2013

It would appear that the Bible condemns the accumulation of wealth. Many passages of Scripture seem to suggest that the accumulation of wealth is evil while being poor is virtuous but only the love of money is condemned

The Suffering Servant

Contributed by Gerald Roberts on Sep 14, 2012

Israel believed that the Messiah that was to come would be a conquering Messiah. The sermon discribes the Messiah as the Suffering Servant who offers the hearers an informative tongue and helps the people by being the Suffering Servant.

Isaiah 50:4-9 The Suffering Servant They longed for a victorious Messiah, not a suffering one. The image of the suffering servant went underground, as it were, lying dormant for centuries. Then, in a very dramatic scene early in his ministry, Jesus quoted from one of the servant ...read more

Watch Them Dogs

Contributed by Kevin Burden on Jun 26, 2010

We Are Told To Beware Of Dogs. We are being warned about evil workers and false teachers. The Dogs in our text are men who are led by an evil spirit and not the Holy Spirit.

The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Matthew Smith on Mar 12, 2011

As James talks to us in James 1 about not being deceived, he gives us some reasons that we can know that God is good no matter what our circumstances.

In the mid to late 90’s people in the church began to say God is good--- all the time--- all the time---God is good. It’s easy to proclaim and to shout aloud the goodness of God when things are going great! It’s easy to brag on Jesus when people are coming to know Christ in large ...read more

Do I Really Want To Become More Like Jesus?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 1, 2010

This is a tough question! Do I want to become more like Jesus, or do I want God to help me become more the person that I selfishly want to be?

Was Jesus a nice, polite, mild-mannered, good-natured young man who kept himself to himself? Was Jesus middle-of-the-road, all things to all people, politically correct, and softly spoken? Was Jesus the most inoffensive man you could ever wish to meet? I wonder what kind of gentle, meek and mild ...read more

Just One Thing

Contributed by Craig Benner on Aug 6, 2011

When someone makes reference to "one thing", you take special notice because you realize that a priority is being mentioned. Let us pay attention to the priorities of God.

ONE THING When you start a new job, and the boss tells all the rules; you listen. When he says that there is one thing that needs to be done above everything else; you make a very special mental note, knowing that thing is a top priority.

The Unity Of The Whole Of Scripture Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 16, 2012

We can use the story of the finding of Jesus in the Temple to illustrate how the Scripture is best read as a whole, with the New Testament's meaning being fleshed out by its OT references.

Solemnity of St Joseph 2012 Verbum Domini The Solemnity of St. Joseph is a very appropriate day to line out some ideas about the Word of God, and interpretation of the Word. We can easily focus on the “unity of the whole of Scripture,” which is the first of the three marks of ...read more
