    People love to attend wedding receptions. There is food, wine and music. Jesus was the life of every party. He made better wine when the old wine ran out. Jesus loved celebrations. (Quote from Leonard Sweet)

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 5,033 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

    Solomon is not interested only in helping individuals construct a building to eat and sleep in, as important as that is. Instead, the word house is used to represent a happy home, a good family, a sweet life. Let's dare to build.

    Sermon - The Building Blocks of A Happy Home Scripture: Proverbs 24:3-4 “A house is built by wisdom and becomes strong through good sense. Through knowledge its rooms are filled with all sorts of precious riches and valuables.” Introduction: With so much division in the world, you may wonder, can ...read more

    Contributed by David Roth on Feb 12, 2023
     | 1,253 views

    Epiphany 6. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus expounds on murder, adultery, and lying. He makes it clear that these sins are significant, that they reach, infect, and pervade us all, so that there is no righteousness in us, and our righteousness must be found in Him.

    Matthew 5:21-37 Epiphany 6 A J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Murderers, Tramps, and Liars” In our Gospel reading, we hear Jesus continue His sermon on the Mount. He has ...read more

     | 719 views

    When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

    We read in Genesis 21:17, “God heard the boy crying, and from heaven the angel of God spoke to Hagar, "What are you troubled about, Hagar? Don't be afraid. God has heard the boy crying.”(GNB) Hagar and her son wandered through the wilderness, and when the little water she carried got ...read more

    Trying to receive the blessings of God while we harbor a Root of Bitterness is like trying to drink after eating lemons. The flow is restricted because we are all drawn up inside.

    Sucking Blessings Through a Straw #13 in the Book of James Series By Pastor Jim May James has just completed dealing with the power of the tongue to destroy and to bless. Now we will see why the tongue is often put to such terrible use when it is used to destroy a life or a reputation. Most of ...read more

    Every struggle in your life was tailor made to fit you and shape your life. Every struggle in your life God uses to make you better, not to make you bitter.

    Intro: As Christians we must clearly understand that the happenings in our lives were tailored just for us. Your difficulties are not to make you bitter but to make you better.

    John's 6th sign. Jesus calls us to cast off bitterness and blame, receive His mercy, and follow Him with eyes wide open to new life.

    Part One Jesus was on His way out of Jericho. Passover crowds filled the road. The noise of merchants and pilgrims echoed off the stone walls. And on that roadside sat a blind man named Bartimaeus—son of Timaeus. That name is striking. Timaeus means honorable. But nothing about this scene ...read more
