When people send out baby shower invitations, they primarily mail them to family and friends. I once saw a really funny movie, a comedy, where a couple sent out fake shower announcements when they weren’t really going to have a baby.

Seeing God - Matthew 5:8 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 6, 2024

I believe this is one of the most important sermons I’ve ever preached—especially the first half, which describes what “seeing” an invisible God means, and the specific ways in which seeing God transforms your character. The rest of the message is about how to see God through purity of heart.

The Radical Invitation Of Jesus, From Exclusion To Celebration Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Mar 17, 2025

In the calling of Levi, Jesus reshapes what discipleship looks like and who qualifies to be a disciple. Would we invite the "Levi's" of our day to follow Him?

If Jesus were walking on earth today, gathering disciples, would He do so along DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) ethical standards? Would he try to choose ...read more

The shield of faith is designed to fully cover us. But it requires attention and care.

Behold The Lamb Of God Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Apr 7, 2009

Why is the Apostle John the only Gospel writer to record the words of John the Baptist referring to Jesus as the Lamb of God? We will discover the answer to that question in this topical message titled Behold the Lamb of God.
