    (1) As we conclude our current series, ‘The Church that You and God Have Always Wanted,’ we are treated one last time to some classic bulletin bloopers.

    10 lepers were healed but only one returned. Are we part of the nine, or are we the One? Those who truly worship and serve the Lord are few in number compared to the many who are blessed.

    Where Are the Nine? Sunday, March 8, 2015 By Rev. James May The time was drawing near for Jesus to pay the price of our sin upon the cross. Yet even in his last days upon the earth, Jesus never lost purpose in everything that he did. His mind was never so preoccupied with the things that he was ...read more

    1st in a series about life of Solomon. An effort to get the audience to associate Solomon's request with the choices that are placed before them and to prioritize them accordingly

    I Kings 3:3-15; II Chronicles 1:1-13 Intro: Wouldn’t it be nice? Wouldn’t it be great to have 3 wishes, for whatever you want? I once asked our church family in Joplin to think that through – If you could have anything you wanted, what would you want? I’ll share some ...read more

    Although God is certainly not against one being happy, His greatest desire is not our happiness but our holiness.

    A. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (READ and COMMENT) 1. How many of you actually believe that the Bible is God’s Word for mankind? COMMENT: Apart from His Son Jesus Christ, the greatest GIFT that God could have provided for mankind is the Bible—His Living Word—because it is literally God—our ...read more

    Those lives that day sought & received external physical change for that was all they were after. Being satisfied they went on their way. Those that did missed out on the greatest blessing Jesus offers to the one who returns to Him.

    LUKE 17: 11-19 WHERE ARE THE NINE? [2 Kings 5:10-15 / Psalm 103] Some people are too quickly satisfied with Jesus’ blessings, others are never satisfied with Jesus’ blessings. These extreme types remind me of two stories. A food editor of the local newspaper received a ...read more

     | 13,264 views

    This message is part of our Super Heroes Series. The sermon shows how the story of the Transformers is taken out of the Bible. Although Optimus Prime is a great leader, he is not on the same level as Jesus Christ.

    Super Heroes—Optimus Prime —God Calls You To Be A Transformer 7/16/2017 Isaiah 42:1-9 Ephesians 4:17-32 We are in our series Super Heroes. So far we have looked at a Superman and found his story in the story of Moses. We looked at Wonder Woman and found her story was in the ...read more

     | 35,707 views

    Often we pray for God to act, but what do we really want God to do? Do we pretend to want change when really we want to stay as we are? A challenging message at one of our special healing services.

    A man was driving along a road one day when he saw a three-legged chicken. He was amazed enough to drive along side it for a while, and as he was driving, he noticed the chicken was running at 20 mph. “WOW Pretty fast chicken,” he thought, “I wonder just how fast it can run.” So he sped up, and ...read more

    This sermon wants us to consider the question, " What Do You Want With Me, Jesus Son Of The Most High God." It comes from a demon, but it applies to us all.

    Being Holy: Connected Series

    Contributed by Robbie Parsons on Jan 16, 2025
     | 316 views

    If we want to live holy, it must also come through connection with God. This involves upping the game on our Bible study and prayer.

    In order for a person to be holy, he or she must be connected to the Source of holiness—God Himself. Such a relationship begins at the moment of salvation. When a sinner repents of his sins, and places his faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ as the lamb of God which takes away the sin of the ...read more

     | 4,319 views

    When the Almighty, Omnipotent Creator God asks, "What do you want Me to do for you?", the wise thing would be to give it careful thought before responding.

    “James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You.” 36 And He said to them, “What do you want Me to do for you?” 37 They said to Him, “Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory.” 38 But ...read more
