    Practice Missional Living: Turning Worship Into Witness And Community Into Commission Series

    Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Jun 8, 2025
     | 264 views

    Jesus didn’t say, “Attend Me.” He said, “Follow Me.” He didn’t say, “Build Me a monument.” He said, “Make disciples.” Missional living is the natural result of authentic faith. It’s what happens when the Church stops simply doing religion and starts living out the mission of Christ.

    Sermon 4: Practice Missional Living Turning Worship into Witness and Community into Commission Key Texts: • Matthew 28:18–20 • John 20:21 • 2 Corinthians 5:18–20 • Matthew 5:13–16 • Romans 10:13–15 Introduction: From Gathered to Sent The Church is not just a place where we come ...read more

    We're all familiar with the story of Mary and Joseph and the baby in the manger... but where does God fit into the story?

    A Sunday School teacher had her students put a manger scene in a corner of her classroom. It was the Christmas season, and her pupils were excited as they set up the model barn and covered the floor with real straw and then arranged the clay figures of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, the Wise Men, ...read more

    One Flock, One Shepherd: The Unfinished Mission

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 11, 2024
     | 1,017 views

    It’s not a small thing for Jesus’ followers to be scattered. He needs to gather us “so there will be one flock,” and even so there is “one shepherd.” Jesus cares for people all over the world. As one of His followers, do you care for people all over the world?

    Today, we conclude our week of praying for missions by fasting and praying. If your personal priorities were like favorites on your phone, what would be included? Like the saved numbers you place in your cell phone, what priorities would be included among your favorites? The care of your family, a ...read more

    Go! And Hear The Roar Of God Series

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 25, 2025

     | 662 views

    The roar of God’s holiness thunders through the book of Amos. It is a warning, a call to repentance, but also a signpost pointing us to Jesus Christ—the only One who can rescue us from judgment and bring us into eternal life.

    Go! And Hear the Roar of God A Sermon from the Book of Amos Introduction – The Lion Has Roared Imagine walking through the African savannah at night. The stars are bright above you, the wind is calm, but suddenly… you hear it. The deep, rolling roar of a lion. That sound shakes you. It demands ...read more

     | 7,049 views

    If you want to experience life-transformational worship, come to a better altar – the cross of Jesus Christ – with better sacrifices: carry His shame; confess His name; and care for others.

    Joanne Weil describes the time her young son asked what was the highest number she had ever counted to. She didn't know, but she asked about his highest number. It was 5,372. “Oh,” she said. “Why did you stop there?” “Church was over,” he replied. (Mike and Amy Nappa, Bore No More! Group ...read more

    The Holy Spirit is Christ in the Christian. He didn’t place an angel inside of you. He placed God inside of you.

    Biophysicist Petra Schwille has been working on creating a living cell from the bottom up for the past 10 years.

    Hay victoria en Jesús. ¡El Señor resucitado! La hora de la oscuridad ha llegado y se ha ido. El poder de Dios venció la oscuridad. Él está vivo para siempre. No le des la victoria en tu vida al enemigo derrotado.

    Toda la historia conduce a la cruz y todo desde entonces se deriva de la cruz. Es el punto central de todos los tiempos. Sin embargo, la cruz es un punto bajo en la historia de la humanidad. Es el momento en que el ungido de Dios fue ejecutado. En la línea de tiempo de la historia, la cruz es ...read more

    Is Your All On The Altar Of Sacrifice Laid? Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 17, 2021
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,812 views

    If God hated human sacrifice, why would He ask Abraham to offer his only son as a burnt offering to Him? And what can this story mean to us?

    CHILDREN'S STORY (I used a flannel graph display on the overhead) In the days of Abraham, one of the ways people showed their love for God by offering Him a sacrifice. A sacrifice is like a gift. It’s something you give to God to show Him you are willing to obey Him, even when it costs you ...read more

     | 25,737 views

    Unlike Superman, Jesus came to earth... to die. But there are people who reject Jesus' mission. They refuse to accept the idea that Jesus came to die, to be buried and rise again. Why would they do that?

    OPEN: (We showed a picture on the screen of George Reeves as Superman with a flowing cape) Who is this? (Superman) Of course it’s Superman. This was THE superman.

    The Rebellion Of Korah Is An Example Of The Rebellious False Teachers - Jude 1 V 11(C) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 16, 2022
     | 2,766 views

    Jude has been exposing the false teachers quite graphically. One was a murderer, one perverted God's people for money, and here is Korah, a man of rebellion. God put him to the test and he failed. This whole account is examined in this message.

    THE REBELLION OF KORAH IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE REBELLIOUS FALSE TEACHERS - Jude 1 v 11(c) In a previous message we looked at Cain and Korah together. This time only Korah is in the spotlight and the account has been expanded. Jude 1 v 11 Woe to them for they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay, ...read more

    This message from a series that looks at God's desire for us to live life in a way that avoids being overloaded and overextended.

    Living life, parenting, retirement and ministry can all become burdensome. These burdens can often be almost more than we can bear. We have grown to accept this as a part of living life in the twenty-first century. Imagine if you will if Jesus would have chosen to live in modern America rather than ...read more
