    Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 15, 2014
     | 4,960 views

    The dangers of putting off God's call until it's too late.

    Many of you know that there is a point of “No return” in most things in our lives. In olden times every ship and plane crossing the Ocean had a “Point of no return”. (Not enough fuel to make a turn about and head for home.) We all know it was against the “Law” ...read more

  • Remembering Lot's Wife

    Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 15, 2014
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,233 views

    The dangers of looking back on sin usually results in a longing for some of the pleasures of this world.

    Jesus used Lot’s wife as an example of how dangerous it can be to look back and long for the sinful things that God has saved us from. Jesus used two events in history to make the point of how people would ignore the warnings of God’s Ministers, or servants. The days of Noah: The flood ...read more

    The changing of the well established guidelines laid out by the Bible can lead be a detour to disaster.

    Markers are needed to mark the way in, or into any new territory or frontier. The markers left by Joshua’s men were seen and noted by hundreds to tens of thousands that would come later. One of the effective means of deception in wartime is to change the markers and road signs. Veterans told ...read more

     | 4,506 views

    To be a top Soldier in the Army of the Lord, one cannot often be AWOL from formation. Excessive absenteeism from Church leads to a weak line of defense against the battles of everyday life in the ungodly environment we face in this world.

    Have you been in any battles lately? Did you win, or were you put down? Sometimes it seems that our daily walk with the Lord is definitely a form of warfare. In your biggest battle, were you about ready to surrender and give it up? Some folks do. Some give up without a fight, some give up after a ...read more

    Thinking of the words of that old hymn, "Almost persuaded".

    Text for sermon: Acts 24: 24 & 25 (KJV) Many times we have things to happen to us that shake us up inside, and inside out! Sometimes we get so shook up by a saddening event that we declare in our heart that we’ll do better from now on. Felix was one those that fully felt in his heart that ...read more

  • Cutting Corners With Untempered Mortar

    Contributed by Bob Phillips on May 29, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,174 views

    Many are leaving out critical directions given in the Bible, and cutting corners as they say to avoid following the instructions given by God.

    Jesus gave the directions we must follow, but few want to follow his directions to the letter. In out text passage he said if we hear him and follow the instructions given by his word we are wise builders and our (Spiritual) House will withstand the storms of this life. Today, many Christians are ...read more

    Encouraging Christians to listen to what God is saying in his word.

    June 21, 2009 Evening service Text: Matthew 17: 5: While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him. The voice out of the cloud was saying, “Listen to him”. So I ...read more

  • When The Way Gets Rough, Turn To Jesus!

    Contributed by Bob Phillips on Jun 2, 2014
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,575 views

    Try to remember that no matter what Satan, the world, or this life throws at you, turn to the one who can see you through it all, and never give up on his promise to never leave or forsake you.

    There is a saying that “When the going gets tough, the tough get going”. Job could have been the one who started that saying. He truly bore more grief and pain than we can imagine. Vs 2: Even today is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning. Vs 3: Oh that I knew ...read more

  • What's Wrong With Jesus?

    Contributed by Bob Coy on Feb 6, 2012
    based on 9 ratings
     | 14,289 views

    What is it about Jesus that people keep a distance from Him, are estranged from Him, are at odds with Him?

    So what's wrong with Jesus? I mean, I've often wondered, is there a specific issue? Is there a real problem? Is there a major obstacle? It seems to me that so many keep a distance from Him, are estranged to Him, are at odds with Him, Jesus. It's not the same way with God. What's that? It appears ...read more

    How to treat our Christian family and how to deal with our foes.

    Open your Bibles to the book of Romans 16. We’ve come to the last chapter. Many of you are familiar with Norman Vincent Peale’s book, The Power of Positive Living. It’s a good book. It won’t get you to heaven, but it will really help you approach life with the right kind ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,432 views

    The Apostle Paul demonstrated the essence of a missionary heart and challenges us to have the same.

    We are coming to the last words of the Apostle Paul, and we get a glimpse of the missionary heart of this great Apostle. The problem with many American Christians, and perhaps some of you in this room, is that to you, Christianity is just such a personal thing; you don’t ever want to share ...read more

  • Like Lucy

    Contributed by Bob Joyce on Aug 4, 2011
     | 6,196 views

    It takes the church, coming together in unity, with a common vision, a common mission, relinquishing our individual rights, in order to see things happen for the Kingdom.

    In one of the Peanuts specials, Linus is reclining on the floor watching television. Lucy walks in and says to him, “Change the channel right now.” Linus says, “I was here first, why should I change the channel?” Lucy holds up her hand. She said, “You see these five ...read more

    The church does not exist to make us comfortable. We are under obligation to cater to the needs of those who are less mature.

    It’s About the Kingdom Romans 15:1-6 Max Lucado in his book A Gentle Thunder, tells a story about a man who encountered another man carrying a Bible. “Are you a believer?” “Yes,” he said excitedly. I've learned that you can't be too careful who you fellowship with, ...read more

    Jesus paid the debt of sin for us. Now we are obligated to pay it forward. We repay this debt by writing checks of love and forgiveness to others.

    Pay it Forward Romans 13:8-10 A woman and her husband came to the pastor and said, “We're going to get a divorce, but we want to come to make sure that you approve of it.” There are people who come to the pastor hoping that when they say there is no feeling left in their marriage, the ...read more
