A Call To Persevere Series

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on May 20, 2025

This sermon continues the study of Jude by exploring how believers are called to remain grounded in God's love, even amid internal threats to the Church. It emphasizes the role of spiritual disciplines—building faith, prayer, and hopeful anticipation of Christ.

This week we are continuing our series in Jude. If you were with us last week you’ll remember that we talked about how the things that we need to look out for in the church are the times when we notice someone seems to only ever have complaints, and specifically with a purpose of creating division. ...read more

For The Sake Of The Call

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 23, 2023

Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

Equipping The Called Series

Contributed by Captain Emily Vincent on Jul 11, 2023

Have you ever been asked to do something that you just did not feel prepared to do at all? God asks BIG things of us, and we feel like we could never measure up...BUT, He will ALWAYS equip us for the things He asks of us, even if we don't think we are ready for it yet!

Who Calls?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023

Hearing and answering God's call has four parts in two pairs. We need to recognize who God is, and who we are, and after being cleansed, we must respond.

Do you ever screen your calls? By that I mean do you look to see who’s calling before you answer? I answer most of my calls right when they happen unless it’s tagged “scam likely” or I’m driving (I haven’t hooked up my Bluetooth yet) or if the phone is in the other room or if I accidentally left it ...read more

Called To Freedom

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 5, 2023

So, what is this freedom Paul is speaking of? What do you do with freedom when you get it? Does freedom mean “party all the time like some might think?”

Called To Serve

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 14, 2023

Every Christian is called to serve in the ministry. Only a select few are called into full-time pastoral ministry, but many others are called to serve God in other capacities. This short sermon explores that calling a little further.

The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:10-11: Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms.
