    Why Church #5 Found In Freedom Series

    Contributed by Robert Malcolm on Jan 8, 2025
     | 472 views

    We are free when our lives are uncommitted, but not to be what we were intended to be. Real freedom is not freedom "from," but freedom "for."

    ~ Intro: … I have on my table a violin string... it is free. I twist one end of it and it responds. It is free. But it is not free to do what a violin string is supposed to do--produce music. So I take it, fix it in my violin and tighten it until it is taut. Only then is it free to be a violin ...read more

    The Parable Shocks But Christ's Message Is Powerful

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Sep 16, 2025
     | 405 views

    The goal is to spread the message of Christ and His Church of the will of God to save all human beings. If the authorities are dragging us off to jail it’s hard to fulfill that mission.

    Twenty-fifth Sunday in Course 2025 Reading today’s excerpt from the letter of Saint Paul to Timothy, you might get the impression that the goal of any church congregation is to “lead a quiet an tranquil life in all devotion and dignity.” That sounds like an average middle-class suburban lifestyle, ...read more

    The Fortress In The Storm

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Nov 8, 2025
     | 341 views

    Even when the earth shakes and storms bring devastation, God's sovereignty is not found in preventing the tragedy, but in being our unshakeable, present refuge within it.

    My friends, we come together today with heavy hearts. Our eyes have seen the images, our ears have heard the reports. We think of our brothers and sisters in the Philippines, in places like Cebu, who in the span of just a few short months have felt the very earth give way beneath them—first with a ...read more

    Emphasize the importance of being a true follower of Christ, constantly growing and transforming to become more like Jesus, as we persevere and press on towards the goal of our heavenly calling.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're going to explore what it means to be a true follower of Christ. As believers, we are called to emulate Jesus in our thoughts, words, and actions, but what does that really look like? C.S. Lewis once wrote, "The Christian does not think God will love us ...read more

    Ephesians Series #3 Position determines access. We like access…but in the Kingdom of God access is restricted only to those who are in the right position.The key to staying on that straight and narrow path is in being well balanced.

    A Walk That Is Worthy Part 3 "The Balancing Act" Text: Eph 1:15-23 Intro: We have just come through another Thanksgiving Holiday.

    Launching into Chapter 6 in the Gospel of John, we see Jesus performing a miracle that so many are familiar with; but do we REALLY know (and understand) the complexity of the conversation being had around the feeding of the 5,000?

    Offense is one of the most devistating lures Satan uses to keep Christians from being effective in ministry. In this sermon I am going to review the Bait of Satan by John Bevere and suggest that it is possible to avoid and overcome offense.

     | 12,550 views

    Would you like to know the will of God for your life? Paul, in his letter to the Romans, tells us that we need to rewire our minds in order to enable us to better discover what that might be.

    “I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discern what ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,457 views

    This passage about the four lepers shows us the results of being either inward focused or outward focused. We are able to see the consequences of turning inward, versus the rewards of looking outward and stepping out in faith.

    Our message this morning is entitled, “Inward or Outward Focused?” How many of you have heard of churches being either inward focused or outward focused? I am sure some of you have encountered this idea at some point in your Christian walk. Leith Anderson, the pastor of Wooddale Church in Eden ...read more

    It's not hard to be thankful for obvious things like God, our families or our health, but what about things that might not be obvious like food, shelter and clothing? And then there are the things that we wouldn't be thankful for at all...but should be.

    GIVING THANKS FOR THANKLESS THINGS It's not very hard to be thankful for obvious things like our families, our health, or the blessings that come into our lives.
