    The Hour Of Darkness And A Servant King Series

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Dec 9, 2014
     | 5,822 views

    The behavior of Jesus at the last supper was in line with what Jesus would do the next day on the cross. Through it all, Jesus was the servant king.

    The Hour of Darkness and a Servant King ("The King whose Scepter is a Towel"- title from a message by Daryl Johnson) John 13:1-17 INTRODUCTION: What do you picture when you hear the word “KING”? The first word that comes to my mind is POWER. And if I hear KING of KINGS I think ...read more

    Jesus Makes Sense

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 31, 2025
     | 136 views

    Grace crosses forbidden borders to restore what systems abandon; Jesus speaks order into chaos, reclaiming the image of God within us.

    There are moments in Scripture when heaven steps across an invisible border, and the entire order of creation trembles. This is one of them. The Gospel of Mark says, “They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.” That sentence may sound geographical, but it’s ...read more

    What The Bible Says About The Trinity Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 30, 2012
     | 4,377 views

    The doctrine of the Trinity is a distinctive mark of Christianity. Though there are “triads” (a set of 3) of divinities in many of the world’s religions and philosophies, none of these carries any similarities to the Christian teaching concerning the Tri

    Spirit Filled Freedom

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Jun 7, 2025
     | 374 views

    Sometimes the things that have a hold on us aren’t so harmless. Sometimes we’re carrying things—wounds, habits, lies—that quietly shape our lives without us even realizing it.

    Sermon Title: “Spirit-Filled Freedom” Texts: Acts 2:1–4; Galatians 4:1–7 [5:16–26] INTRODUCTION: “What’s Got a Hold on You?” Let me ask you something this morning: What’s got a hold on you? I’m not talking about what you like. I’m talking about the thing that pulls at you—that has a little more ...read more

    Color Of Easter

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 526 views

    How can you respond to the LOVE of Christ? Just like Zacchaeus, this morning you have an opportunity to respond to why God’s love matters …

    Introduction: This morning many of us may be wondering what is this color of Easter? When we spread the canvas of Easter and paint the biblical picture, it has many shades. While Jesus walked the earth, His ministry of love, grace, healing, preaching and teaching was disliked by the Jewish priests. ...read more

    Discipleship part 2 INTRODUCTION To open I would like to start with a true story that happened here at our church. A mother at our playgroup called ‘Jane’ wanted to know more about God, so I started a bible study after the play group. After a few weeks she said it was great but what ...read more

    For Memorial Day/Christian Legacy Sunday: We must not protect the vessel in which the Gospel is carried more than the Gospel itself. The Gospel is power; the vessel must be impervious to popularity, a good transporter. Legacy giving encouraged.

    I am not much of a gardener. The Scripture says that there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted, but I must tell you that I don’t know the difference. I pluck up only what I am told to pluck up, because I don’t know a weed from a willow. However, the mistress of our little ...read more

    Who is willing to carry the Light….. who is willing to leave it all behind to become the keeper of the flame? This is where we can say that people were willing to release themselves to the Spirit of God and stoke the fire.

    We were created in Christ Jesus as New creatures to carry the power and anointing of God in our lives, that this power may flow out of us as rivers of living waters, to the lost the hungry the thirsty, the dying.

    Doing What God Asks Us To Do!

    God gave Saul an instruction but Saul only half-carried it out. This short homily is a challenge to us: Let’s do all that God asks us to do; nothing more AND nothing less!

    In these days of terrorism this Bible event is hard for us to understand; and I know of one or two people who have rejected God because of it. The irony is of course that the story is primarily kept for us as a warning not to reject God’s instructions! Hundreds of years ago, stories such as this ...read more
