    King David leans into thankfulness by offering intentional sacrifices, praising God through song, and reorienting his heart about God’s sovereignty while praying for God’s favor. We absolutely can do the same!

    Magnify The Lord

    When I magnify something, I can see it better. When I magnify, I can understand it better. When I magnify, I have a deeper appreciation for how and what it does.

    Psalms 34:1-4 (NKJV) “Magnify the Lord” June 22, 2025 David insisted that despite the difficulties and dangers of his life, his experience with God has given him something to brag about. I wonder today, if we can put ourselves in David’s position, when the words of this text were written, no ...read more

    Bumpin Into Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,415 views

    This sermon is about making an effort to encounter Jesus in an intentional way instead of just bumping into him on occasion. It should cause us to look at our relationship with Christ and evaluate whether we are in a relationship with Jesus or if he is just a casual acquaintance.

    In our scripture today we find Jesus surrounded by a large crowd on His way to the home of a synagogue official named Jarius’ whose daughter is dying. Now in the whole of the scripture today we learn of two separate miracles but I want to focus on just one today. I want to focus not on the ...read more

    What if the tomb wasn’t empty Easter morning?

    Today is Easter, Resurrection Sunday. Today we celebrate the empty tomb, Jesus victory over death, and the promise of eternal life. But what if the story had been different?

    Every Christian has at least 3 fathers...their biological/legal father, the Father and church fathers. Thsi sermon explores what it means to be loved by the Father, how to relate to our earthly fathers and what it means to be a Godly father.

    Someone once said Any fool can be a Father, but it takes a real man to be a Daddy!! Another person says A father carries pictures where his money used to be.

     | 116 views

    True greatness is found in serving others with everyday acts of kindness, recognizing and loving Jesus in the overlooked and ordinary people around us.

    Some of the most breathtaking moments with Jesus arrive in ordinary clothes. A paper cup of water handed to a weary worker. A brown-bag sandwich shared on a bench. A text sent at midnight that says, “I’m here.” He has a way of walking into our Mondays and Market Streets, our waiting rooms and ...read more
