    Making Wise Investments Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Jul 27, 2021
     | 2,000 views

    Perhaps the greatest challenge the church faces is finding her place in changing world, on that doesn’t appear to be getting better. John gives an imperative for the church, make investment on in God’s promises which are eternal, not in a worldview that is destined to fail.

    Our society is infatuated with extremes, there seems to be no common ground for living. I developed a model, Pathway to Recovery, that illustrates this dynamic. While at a bookstore, I observed a group of students. They were polls apart when discussing religious thought. I had made the comment to ...read more

    Taking Heed To God's Word Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 4, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,306 views

    The evidence of our Christian sincerity is demonstrated in the way we treat one another. God's word to His people is that we would love our neighbor as ourselves. Zechariah confronts this matter with a reminder of Israel's historical experience.

    In Zechariah 7 a delegation came from the Jews in Bethel asking the question: “Should I mourn and fast in the fifth month, as I have done for so many years?”i During the 70 years of exile in Babylon, the Jews had been observing four fasts in memory of the destruction of Jerusalem. The most ...read more

    An examination of Jonah’s struggle with the will of God.

    As we continue into this exploration of the life of Jonah – it is interesting to discover how much we are like him. Many times in our lives we have to deal with God giving us a word. Whether it is directly from the Word of God (the Bible), or by the Man of God (the Preacher) or by Inspiration of ...read more

    Getting Sober For Christmas Series

    Contributed by Mark Haines on Dec 16, 2006
     | 4,588 views

    We need to get sober for Christmas. We need to admit Jesus came to save sinners like us. He didn’t come just for people like drug dealers and dead beat parents. He came for mass murders and terrorists as well as nice people like you and me.

    Response Goal: Individuals prompted by the Holy Spirit will pray the last verses of Psalm 139. REPENTANCE POINT {paradigm shifts or changes in our thinking}: We need to get sober for Christmas. We need to admit Jesus came to save sinners like us. He didn’t come just for people like drug dealer ...read more

    All of us need a Fresh Encounter. Without any apology, Richard Blackaby was my inspiration for developing this message. Everyone needs a "First Encounter" with Jesus followed by a "Fresh Encounter"...It's life-changing.

    Fresh Encounter Jerry Watts John 12:1-11 * Have you ever had an experience which you would call an ‘encounter?’ Encounters are those events in your life which you ‘remember!’ I’ll never forget the time I almost stepped on a cotton mouth moccasin. I’ll never ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,551 views

    Jesus said that all 613 laws (365 thou shalt not’s – 248 thou shalt’s), and words of the Prophets hang on just two commandments.

    "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matt 22:37-39 ESV) Today, our focus is on the Great Commandment to love God. Jesus said that when you love your neighbor it is ...read more

    Being angry is not a sin. It is what we do with our anger that really matters.

    Good morning, beloved congregation. It's a joy to gather with you today, in this sacred space, to delve into the divine wisdom of God's Word. As we gather in fellowship, let us remember the words of Charles Spurgeon who once said, "Visit many good books, but live in the Bible." Our focus today is ...read more

     | 7,119 views

    This message will encourage, challenge and confict God’s people in their motivations in life. To be all that God wants us to be we must experience "perfect motivation"

    INTRO. For the past few weeks we have been looking at mainly one of the disciples of Jesus Christ and have been encouraged, challenged and convicted by his obedience and disobedience to the Lord’s commands. We like Rock are many times motivated to do things strictly that will benefit us as ...read more

    Let's Turn The World Over To Mothers

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 15, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,118 views

    Dated 1988. Part dialogue, part conversation, between the preacher and his wife. Pain is caused by absenting ourselves from those against whom we have a grievance. Mothers understand compassion and challenge the rest of us to reconcile.

    It is very appropriate that Margaret join me in bringing the message today… appropriate not only because she is a mother, but also because today’s message was inspired by both of our mothers … both hers and mine. Several years ago my mother was sitting in her living room reading the newspaper with ...read more

    The Sign Of The Season Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 4, 2006
    based on 79 ratings
     | 34,699 views

    The "sign" the shepherds received was a baby in a manger. But compared to the sights and sounds of the angels in the sky... a baby in a feeding trough would seem somewhat anti-climatic. Why did God do it that way?

    OPEN: A Salvation Army woman was informed by a policeman that a local ordinance would prevent her from ringing her bells to invite contributions. She was contrite and apologetic that she had “broken” the law. But the next day she was back in front of the store… doing a brisker business than ...read more

    Baptism: Magic Or Mission?

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 14, 2010
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,758 views

    "How can I get God to do what I want?" is the poor question that has led to erroneous concepts of baptism. Baptism is, to the contrary, our signing on to how we can go what God wants.

    The problem is that if you don’t ask the right question, you’ll never get the right answer. If you ask the wrong question, you’ll never get the answer you want. A long time ago I learned that it is the wrong question, definitely the wrong question, to ask, "Are we having dessert tonight?" If I ...read more
