    We have a great hope and because of that hope we’ll keep on doing what the Lord has called us to do.

    If we will discipline ourselves to stretch spiritually, we will be strengthened to do God’s Will.

    Stretched and Strengthened Luke 5 The spiritual journey of the Apostle Peter has often motivated me: • A down to earth-regular guy- so much so his friends probably called him Pete… ‘Peter’ would have been too formal for him • A commercial fisherman • An ‘ear’ for authentic spiritual truth tho ...read more

    Jesus presents a clear description of what it is followers are to be like internally and how they are to live outwardly in the Sermon on the Mount

    There was a small town that had been “dry.” A local businessman decided to build a tavern. A group of Christians from a local church were concerned and planned an all-night prayer meeting to ask God to intervene. It was not long afterwards that lightning struck the bar and it burned to the ground. ...read more

    Will You Be My Neighbor Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 25, 2007
    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,430 views

    This message was introduced by playing a clip of the popular children’s program Mr. Rogers. It focuses on the question Jesus asked 2000 years ago. Who is our neighbor? Anyone we can be a neighbor to!

    “Will you be My Neighbor?” Luke 10:25-37 Many of us can remember him. We may have watched him....or kids or grand kids may have watched him. Plain sweater, white canvass, sneakers, nice smile.....over the years not much changed with the show; it was always the same house-the same puppets and the ...read more

    God's Unrequited Love Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,571 views

    When we become passive, smug, or listless in our relationship to God, He does not take it lightly; God doesn’t just want what we DO, He wants US, heart and soul.

    God’s Unrequited Love (Malachi 1:1-14) 1. We divide the OT prophets into two categories: the Pre-exhilic and the post-exhilic. The line of demarcation is 606 BC, when the Babylonian captivity began. In 586 BC, the temple was destroyed. The prophets who were active during this time or earlier ...read more

    What was lent supposed to remind us of? What does lent remind us of?

    Some thoughts on the Lenten Season Lent, known to be the oldest ritual in Church. It came into existence as early as 130 AD. The observation of lent began as a season of penance, driven by the example set by Lord Jesus Christ during his 40 days of fasting in the desert where he overcame the ...read more

    I don’t know about you, but I find it a lot easier to start projects than it is to finish them. Many of us have unfinished projects around the house to prove it. The Christian life can be that way too.

    How To Finish What We’ve Started For Christ II Timothy 4:1 Purpose: To explain how a Christian can be faithful. Aim: I want the listener to be inspired so he won’t give up serving Christ.

    Six Marks Of Leadership: Mark 3- Series

    Contributed by Tim White on May 9, 2011
     | 7,549 views

    Most leaders are like middle-managers with superiors and subordinates and Nehemiah shows us how to both lead and follow.

    I heard Adrian Rogers give this example: We all have seen Canada Geese fly in their V formation with one leg of the V formation longer than the other leg. Why do they fly in the V formation? The lead goose is making it easier for the other geese who are following his lead. He is moving the wind ...read more

    How To Find Contentment

    Contributed by Jason Jones on Feb 19, 2019
     | 4,668 views

    The teaching here is two-fold: contentment versus greed and instructions to the rich. The common bond is the purpose of blessing and contentment with provision for the greedy and for the rich.

    A. Opening illustration: Contentment in wedding vows, “for richer or for poorer,” 80% 5.6 billion people live on less than $10/day ($3650/yr), half are less than $2.50/day ($912/yr). US poverty line is over $12K/yr, 4X the global rate, 44 million people. 20% of Troup Co. below poverty line, 13,510 ...read more

    A Confrontation About Resurrection Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 20, 2018
     | 5,557 views

    The Sadducees came to Jesus with a question regarding resurrection. This is quite interesting since they did not believe in resurrection. His response revealed much about God's provision for us and life after death for the saved.

    A Confrontation about Resurrection Mark 12: 18-27 Those who embrace Jesus as the Christ, having received Him as Lord and Savior, all agree on an essential element of His existence – His glorious resurrection. Had He not risen from the grave, He would have been like all who came before Him. We ...read more

    Message 3 in a series on healthy habits for a higher walk. This message addresses the need for a daily need for faith. A more recent discussion of faith can be found in the series on James -- message 15 and 16.

    Chico Alliance Church Pastor David Welch “Where There Is Faith” Although these 12 habits do not necessarily have an order. I believe there is a logical progression expressed by the order in which I present them. You cannot practice any of the disciplines without taking time away from the ...read more

     | 14,207 views

    This message examines Paul's warning against being judgmental.

    Has any of you ever been guilty of one of the most deadly sins? The sin I am talking about is the one Jesus attacked more often and directly than any other sin. Still clueless? This sin is the most widely justified and practiced sin in the world. I would even venture to say that this is the sin ...read more

     | 9,522 views

    Two things we need most are found in Jesus: real security and deep satisfaction.

    King Saul was a major disappointment. As you know, he was the first king of Israel, and he was everything you would want a king to be. When we first meet him in the pages of Scripture, we are told that he was “a handsome young man.” In fact, “there was not a man among the people ...read more
