    Like A Palm Tree

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 2, 2023
     | 2,895 views

    [Palm Sunday.] Today we wave the palms as we come to this table … a sign that our sin has come to end. Today we wave the palms and come to this table as we profess our desire to serve God wholeheartedly.

    Palm Sunday. A perfect example of the fact that Jesus’ Disciples and His followers get it … and don’t get it. They get that He is a king … a leader … a prophet and messiah sent by God … but … a king … a leader … a prophet … a messiah who rides into the Jerusalem on colt … not a great stallion or ...read more

     | 1,236 views

    We have a living hope, a guaranteed inheritance and the understanding that we are studying for what some call “finals” --- their final exam when they will receive the goal of their faith namely eternal life.

    THE GUARDED INHERITANCE Text: 1 Peter 1:3 – 9 1 Peter 1:3 - 9:   “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,  (4)  and into an inheritance that is ...read more

    More Than A Mother

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,784 views

    No matter how deep the scars that life has left us with, the mother-love of God can restore the broken places and refill the empty places. There is nothing that we have lost that cannot be transformed or redeemed.

    Many of you met my sister Kathleen and her son Brian when they came down for my installation. Brian is the only child in our generation, my mother’s only grandchild. And that’s surprising because, of the two of us, Kathleen didn’t want children and I did. I was the one who played with dolls. I was ...read more

Isaac Watts is known as the “Father of English Hymnody” and he is credited with writing more than 600 hymns, including “When I Survey the ...read more

    Through God’s grace the weak of us are able to shame the strong not due to our abilities but due to Christ’s power that rests upon us to do great things in His name!

    God’s Grace Sustains Us! 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, 4:8-12; Philippians 1:27; Romans 8:37; 2 Kings 18-20 How hard is it to say YES to the Lord when He asks you to serve in His kingdom?

    In Christ (Part One )

     | 2,142 views

    Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

    IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God. Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now ...read more

    The Fear Of The Lord

     | 3,131 views

    Notice the Bible says that Hananiah FEARED GOD ABOVE MANY.

    That is when you take the life of Hananiah and compare it to other men, his life revealed he feared God much more than most men. In this society in which we live, we do not hear very much about the “Fear Of The Lord”. One of the reasons we do not SEE and HEAR much about the fear of the Lord is ...read more

    Just like Abram, all we need to do is simply believe and trust in God. Yes, we can be confident in the times of uncertainty.

    We have been talking about having confidence during certain times in our lives--confidence when fear surrounds us, and confidence during conflicting times. Today I want to look at being confident in times of uncertainty. If anyone knows about uncertainty, it's our world today. You all know ...read more

    The Armor Of God 6 Of 8

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022
     | 2,372 views

    So often when preachers preach on the armor of God they will deal with one certain piece of the armor, but not the whole armor of God. This kind of preaching needs to be done with caution.

    Why? Because anytime we preach on the armor of God, we need to stress what this passage of Scripture is stressing, that is, we need to put on the WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, not just a particular piece. The fact is, if we do not put on the whole armor of God, we might as well not put any on. Why? Because ...read more
