Growing In Christ Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Nov 12, 2024

In this process of being grounded in and sharing Christ, we should be growing in Christ. For a church to survive, for a Christian to remain strong in their conviction, each of us needs to be growing in Christ.

Let's start off today by imagining a friend that gives you the gift of a new road bike. You always dreamed of taking a bike out on the road and you're now equipped and outfitted to hit the road. But what if you never used that bicycle? The gift by itself doesn't take you places and ...read more

I. JESUS CHRIST is the TRUTH! It was Jesus Christ Himself who said in reference to God, “Your word is truth” (John 17:17). And so we are told in John 1:1 that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”?? A. Then we learn in John 1:14 that, “The ...read more

The practical steps to having the Mind of Christ

The Mind of Christ Philippians 2:5-11 (part 1) Good morning. T.W. Hunt has a great study on the Mind of Christ that we did previously. Some of our teaching was borrowed from that study.

Humility Of Christ

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

Rooted In Christ

Contributed by Patty Groot on Jul 14, 2025

Sermon based on John 15:1-11. This was a first sermon at a new church but could be used to encourage any time.

May I ask you something? What are you connected to right now? What gives your life meaning, direction, and strength when the days are long or the future feels uncertain?

Christ At The Center

Contributed by Patty Groot on Jul 31, 2025

In a world full of shifting values and unstable truths, we need an anchor. Colossians 1 gives us one: Jesus Christ is not just part of the story; He is the Author of the story. This early confession of faith shows us the truth about Jesus.

Paul doesn’t begin this passage with practical advice or even spiritual encouragement. He starts with awe—with a hymn, a bold declaration of who Jesus is. Before we get to what we should do, Paul reminds us of who Christ is. This passage, Colossians 1:15–20, is considered one of the earliest ...read more

The Anti-Christ

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 31, 2024

In the last four sermons on eschatology, we have been having a shouting time talking about: • THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH, • SECOND COMING OF CHRIST • TWO SERMONS ON THE RECEIVING OF OUR GLORIFIED BODIES.

But today we are going to be talking about something that is horrifying to even think about. We are going to be talking about TRIBULATION PERIOD in the book of Revelation. Most of the Book of Revelation deals with the subject of that period of time that is known as the “Tribulation Period”. ...read more
