    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Oct 29, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,520 views

    As Christians, we’re called to examine everything through the lens of Scripture. Today, let’s take a closer look at the origins of Halloween, what it celebrates, and, most importantly, what God’s Word says about it.

    The Danger of Celebrating Halloween as Christians - Ephesians 5:11 Introduction: As October rolls around, Halloween decorations start popping up everywhere—stores, schools, even some churches. For many, Halloween is seen as harmless fun: costumes, candy, and a chance to escape reality for a while. ...read more

    Between Love And Hate Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 8, 2025
     | 390 views

    Sometimes to truly understand something, it’s easier to look at and compare it to its exact opposite. What would you say is the exact opposite of love? How about hate? In this Sermon we look at what 1 John says about love and hate.

    By a show of hands, who is going for the Chiefs tonight? Who is going for the Eagles? Who could care less? You know, it’s interesting how people can be so passionate for their favorite team in sports. But then I think about how passionate I can be for other things too. Like music. Like art. I ...read more

    A comparison of the danger of sin and the danger of cavities.

    Joh 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin (hamartanō sin meaning to miss the mark) no more, lest a worse thing befall thee. Protecting our teeth is very important. A cavity starts out very small, so small in fact that it is ...read more

    How often do you struggle with having a bad attitude? How often do you spend your time moping around or angry at the world? Do we go around, thinking everything around us stinks when in fact it’s not everything around us, but our attitude that stinks? Som

    A look at the reality and dangers of false prophets in this day and age

    We have spent a long time lately looking at the right road to God, the road to maturity, and hopefully, where ever we were before, whatever direction we were going, we have all now started to walk down this road. And as we start there is something I must make you aware of. This road is not an easy ...read more

    As we think on all the chaotic happenings in the world today, we can't help but realize that they are surely signs of the last days that the Bible describes. The next thing to happen on God's calendar is the rapture of the True Church, followed by t

    The Lukewarm Church Of Laodecia

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Nov 17, 2019
     | 4,147 views

    Lukewarmness is like a dud bomb. Accomplishes not a thing. Jesus Christ prefers us to be passionately against God or, much better, passionately for God. And He disciplines us because He loves us so very much. Thanks to William Barclay's insights which are reflected throughout this message.

    November 17 Sermon - The Churches of Revelation - Laodicea So we have come to the end of our look at the churches of Revelation, today being the last day. And it’s been a fascinating journey to see some of the challenges that the early church faced, and how Jesus directly, through this ...read more

     | 3,035 views

    If Jesus is not in control of your church it is not a church. It is a religious club often managed by a Diotrephes.

    3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, ...read more

    Somehow, adhering to the religious routine inflates the ego and makes a person content in his self-righteousness.

    God Is Our Refuge And Strength

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 20, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,846 views

    When we take time to praise God, fear, doubt and frustration fade. Praising God doesn’t mean that our problems aren’t serious or that our problems won’t go away, but praising God forces us to lift our eyes to God.

    Have you ever been afraid? It doesn’t have to be an occasion when you were physically scared. It can be an occasion where you were afraid for your health or your finances or even for a loved one. How did you feel? How did you react? There are different ways to react. Some say God is dead. ...read more

    We tend to neglect the most powerful weapon we have -- prayer. God delights in answering prayers in harmony with who he is. Let us pray!

     | 4,259 views

    Delivered in 1986, shortly after pastoral call. The Spirit gives us unity in a time of riskiness and danger. That gift is more than unanimity; it is dedication to God's purposes.

    Not everything in every sermon has to be communicated in words. Words and speech are only a part of the way you get a message across. A part of what you folks receive is not only what you hear, but also what you see. What you see and what you pick up just from being here is certainly a part of the ...read more

    Urgency Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 26, 2017
     | 8,395 views

    Message focuses on the Great White Throne Judgement of unbelievers, emphasizing the seriousness of passing into eternity without Christ. Unbelievers should be alerted to these realities, and believers should be equipped and motivated to share the gospel.

    Rev. 20:11-15 5.31.15 Last week we talked about what the Gospel is and the importance of that message. Today I want to take as our subject, the Urgency of the Gospel. I want to use a passage in Revelation 20 to impress this upon our minds. Come with me to the last great event of human history. ...read more

    Camels And Needles

    Jesus said that it is harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle. Totally impossible - and yet, not for God. We explore the idea in a children's / family service with the help of some glass ships in glass bottles.
