  • Living In Light Of His Return

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Sep 19, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,082 views

    The closeness of Christ’s coming should cause us to walk closely with Him today.

    One night many years ago, when we lived in central Illinois, Beth had a meeting at church. As our daughters and I watched her get ready, we noticed she was leaving with two delicious desserts. When we couldn’t get her to give us some beforehand, we pleaded with her to bring some home after the ...read more

  • The Lord's Return Is A Promise

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,477 views

    Because Jesus is faithful to His promises, we must be ready for His return.

    Beth and I were up in Wisconsin last weekend to help her parents winterize their home. We had a very pleasant drive, especially after purchasing some squeaky cheese curds. When we arrived in Sturgeon Bay, I saw a sign announcing a roundabout ahead and became immediately nervous. If you’re not ...read more

  • Roll That Stone Away! Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 20, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,295 views

    God was not asking them to raise the dead, He was simply telling them to take a step of faith and remove that stone and then they will see what He can do.

    Can you imagine Jesus who is 100% God and 100% human walking into the middle of a situation that would, to most people, seem completely hopeless? Hearing the wailing of friends and family over Lazarus’ death, then listening to Martha and Mary express their heartache? They were so disappointed that ...read more

  • What Shall We Do With This Man? Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 28, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,102 views

    As with each major sign, Jesus' words and deeds revealed where the hearts of the people were with God. The question is: How will we respond to His miraculous works and Words?

    We are finishing up with John chapter 11 today. Last week we saw how Jesus wept at Lazarus’ grave, commanded the people to roll the stone away from the tomb, and then raised Lazarus from the dead. We talked about how it was a picture of how Jesus can take things that are dead and decaying in our ...read more

  • Funeral Message

     | 23,064 views

    No matter what happens, we can trust God’s timing. Since our time on earth is limited, let’s make the most of the time we have left.

    Prelude: Amazing Grace Opening Song: The Old Rugged Cross Welcome I can think of four reasons for us to gather today. First, we’re going to remember Sheryll and celebrate who God created her to be. Second, it’s a time for us to begin the process of saying good-bye. Third, we want to ...read more

  • The Genius Of Genesis Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 4, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,988 views

    To move forward in our faith, we must go back to the beginning.

    Last spring, while we were crossing the new I-74 bridge, Beth made an astute observation about the old bridge. While our community was excited about the opening of the new bridge (and rightly so), the old one was being dismantled piece by piece, without anyone really paying attention. She said ...read more

  • Just Give It To Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 5, 2022
     | 2,393 views

    Mary learned to trust the great I Am, not just for the things in the past but to trust in who He is right now, the resurrection and the life. Not just for the future but for her present situation and reality.

    John chapters 11-12 record the last week of Jesus' life, and we are now seeing more of the personal interactions between Jesus and those closest to Him. Because it was a week before the Passover celebration, pilgrims from all over the region were arriving a week early to prepare themselves for ...read more

  • The Most Important Verse In The Bible Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 10, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,185 views

    Genesis has a big beginning because God is a big God.

    On Christmas Eve in 1968, in what was the most watched television broadcast at the time, the crew of Apollo 8 circled the dark side of the moon and headed toward home. As their tiny capsule raced through space, they saw the glistening blue and white hues of earth fill their window. In that ...read more

  • Overcoming Anxiety

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 17, 2022
     | 3,403 views

    We are living in a day and age of uncertainty/anxiety, where we are being pulled in so many directions we are emotionally and physically exhausted. Anxiety and worry have choked the joy out of of lives, how can we experience the peace of God in our lives?

    I don’t have to tell you about the negative effects of anxiety, because I think we all know what they are. But pre-pandemic the OECD reported that anxiety is the most common mental disorder in the world. Can you imagine how these statistics shot through the roof after the pandemic began, after the ...read more

  • Light In The Darkness Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,551 views

    When God says it, that settles it.

    During the summer between my first and second year at Moody Bible Institute, I had the privilege of teaching at a Bible College in Zimbabwe, Africa. This experience marked my life and ministry in countless ways. One of the memories I have is how dark it was at night. Because we were in a rural ...read more

  • Follow The King Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 25, 2022
     | 1,980 views

    Jesus is calling true worshipers from every nation and every tribe and every people to follow the only true God, the only King of kings.

    Today we are continuing our study in the Gospel of John. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, John wrote: “...these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name” (John 20:31). Everything Jesus did was ...read more

  • Your Place In Gods Story Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 25, 2022
     | 3,078 views

    How many here can say they know their place and part in God’s story and are living it out? Why do you think you are where you are today?

    How many here have attempted to trace your family heritage, maybe asked your relatives about your great grandfather or great grandmother, great aunts and uncles? It is always fascinating to trace the story of your lineage - where your family came from, how your ancient relatives lived, what they ...read more

  • Be Like Jesus Series

    Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022
     | 3,950 views

    As part of our calling to discipleship we seek to become like Jesus in every way.

    Matthew 4:18-22 When we read the Great Commission in Matthew 28 it can become easy for the church – followers of Jesus – to take it in with a “been there, done that” kind of attitude. After all, we’ve heard those words repeatedly, many of us for our entire lives. But this morning ask yourself a ...read more

  • Not Just For Sundays Anymore Series

    Contributed by Brian Vickers on Oct 26, 2022
     | 2,232 views

    Many in the church grew up with "Sunday only" forms of discipleship that were confined to the local church setting. But discipleship isn't just for Sundays.

    For all my growing up and young adult years we equated the idea of discipleship with one thing: Sunday School. That meant that people came together on Sunday mornings, sat in classes mostly segregated by age groups, and learned about the Bible. Like we said a few weeks back, it was a Sunday thing. ...read more

  • Experiencing God's Glory Series

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Oct 31, 2022
     | 1,989 views

    What do you think would happen to you when you experience God's glory? How do you think your life will be radically changed once you grasp the glory of His grace?

    Last week, we spoke about “Following the King” from John 12:12-26. We spoke about Christ’s triumphal entry into our hearts, but then we spoke about going beyond simply thanking and worshiping Him for all He has done to taking steps of faith to follow Him. Following Jesus means no longer following ...read more
