Christ The King

The Love Of Christ

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Oct 13, 2024

Love is one of the biggest energizers especially when we understand the Great Commission to love the God with the whole of our being, and to love others with that same love. But when I came across this verse it literally took my breath away seeing the immensity and intensity of it.

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 Uncomfortable Christ

Contributed by Jessie Manuel on Aug 11, 2025

What kind of fire is Jesus talking about? Is this the fire of judgment? The fire of hell? The fire of destruction? I don't believe so. This is the fire of purification, the fire of truth, the fire that burns away what is false so that what is true can shine forth.

OPENING Good morning, church family. I want to begin today with a story that might help us understand something profound about the nature of Christ's ministry.

Autumn Offerings (Numbers 29)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 5, 2024

How did the autumn offerings foreshadow Christ and the Christian life? Let's look at Numbers 29.

What were the feasts observed in the autumn? What do the sacrifices teach us? Why are they no longer necessary? Let’s look at Numbers 29. What was the offering to be made on the Feast of Trumpets? Why did God later say that He hated their sacrifices? Was it perhaps because they didn’t include a ...read more

The Sacrificial System Series

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Aug 30, 2010

Looking at the sacrificial system in Leviticus chapters 1-10, we discover why God provided a way to deal with sin through animal sacrifices and why this system was replaced by Christ's once and for all sacrifice of himself at the cross.

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 20, 2024

This simple plain teaching of Jesus was too much to bear. Rather than change their minds, they walk away. This is the fundamental reason people reject Jesus Christ: He doesn't coordinate with their own selfish interests.

Sermon – When Following Jesus Gets Hard Scripture - John 6:66-69 “At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. ...read more
