Experiencing Finanical Peace Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

Jesus wants you to use your final days and your money to win friends for your future: “And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings” (Luke 16:9).

This morning I want to put a bow on our series, Margin, by examining Jesus’ words on the important subject of money. In week one, we learned the value of contentment. In week two, we learned the value of saving for a rainy day. Last week, we saw something of the joy of giving. Today, I want you to ...read more

Fights between brothers and sisters are common and often can be humorous. I collected a few stories that highlight just how funny sibling rivalry can be.

Can You Truly Know An Invisible God? (Exodus 33:18-23) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 19, 2023

Moses doesn't know God, the way God knows him, because God hasn't fully revealed himself. And so he asks to see God's glory, to fix that. But what is God's glory?

Last week, we left off in the middle of our story. We pushed right up against arguably the most famous, well-known verses in all of Exodus. And I just wanted to stop before I got to them, and give them the time they deserve. At the same time, this is a really complicated passage. I could ...read more

Hell Awareness

Contributed by Perry Greene on Mar 3, 2023

Preaching about hell is no longer in vogue but it is an incredible warning to our God-defying world.

When the great English preacher, Charles Spurgeon, taught homiletics to his student preachers, he coached them on preaching about heaven and hell. He said that they should look joyful when they preached of heaven, but their regular face would do when they spoke of hell. Years ago, preachers ...read more

Passages To Eternal Rest Series

Contributed by Dennis King on Jun 14, 2022

Can you define the eternal rest believers will be blessed with in heaven and on the New Earth? Did you ever think we would be working there?

Hebrews 1 from the Easy-to-Read Version follows: In the past God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke to them many times and in many different ways.

Blessed Are... Series

The main idea of this sermon is that no matter what your condition is in life, you are blessed because Jesus Christ stands there with an open invitation to come into the kingdom of God.

Sounds of Silence. Mrs. Robinson. Bridge Over Troubled Water. Boxer. Although some of you remember ...read more

Thursday - An Evening Full Of Surprises Series

Contributed by David Owens on Mar 28, 2022

Thursday evening was full of surprises as Jesus ate the Passover meal with His disciples. During the evening, Jesus washed their feet, and announced that one of them would betray Him, another would deny Him, and all of them would desert Him. They must have thought He was kidding, but He wasn't!

A. If you know me very well, then you know that I like to laugh and joke. 1. This Friday is April Fools Day, so I thought I might share a few April Fools’ funnies. 2.

Don't Join Murderous Gangs (Proverbs 1:8-19) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2022

Gangs can make you quite the offer: power, wealth, and community. But join, and you'll end up dead. The passage turns into a broader appeal to avoid ill-gotten gains.

Introduction Although my wife Heidi and I have been married for less than 5 years, we’ve moved a lot in that time period. We’ve lived in three states, 3 apartments, and two houses, and we feel a bit like gypsies without a real home. For some people, this frequent moving is a normal part of ...read more

Behold Your King, Part 2 (John 19:17-36) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 6, 2022

When you look at Jesus on the cross, who, and what, do you see?

My goal this week, is a simple one. When you look at Jesus on the cross, think about what you are seeing. Think about who Jesus truly is, and what he did for you. And leave today, praising God the Father, and God the Son, for the life they have given to you. Now, last week, when Jesus was on ...read more

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Nicodemus overcomes his fear, and the darkness, to courageously, openly, come to Jesus. A true disciple, is an open disciple.

This morning's sermon is going to have a different feel. The actual passage we are reading is only five verses. But these five verses build on a few other passages in the Gospel of John. And what these verses will help us do, is get a sense of the book as a whole. I'm hoping, after this ...read more

Are We Tight-Fisted Toward God? (Haggai 1:1-14) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

God, through Haggai, challenges the people to look honestly at their lives-- their priorities, and how well that's worked out for them. God wants his house built.

Today, we start a new three week series on the book of Haggai. I should really start, by explaining something about the background of Haggai. Give you something to set it in the context of Israel's history. But I just don't want to. I'll just say this: Haggai prophesied to ...read more

One Day, God Will Rescue Us From Fools (Psalm 14:1-7) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 5, 2022

There's different kinds of stupid. Defining a "fool," OT style. A psalm of confidence-- God will rescue us one day.

We continue our very sporadic study of the psalms today, by reading Psalm 14. Let's start by reading part of verse 1. (1) Of/for the director. Of/for David. He has said-- a fool-- in his heart/mind, "There is no God." There's lots of kinds of stupid in life. You can act ...read more

Extravagant Worship Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 22, 2022

This sermon focuses on Mary's pouring of expensive perfume on the feet of Jesus as an act of extravagant worship, and how extravagant worship might be expressed by worshippers today.

If you have your Bibles with you today, please open up to John 12:1. We have been looking through the book of John and we took a break from the book of John during Christmas and now we are picking it back up as we go from Christmas to Easter. It is very appropriate to pick it up here at chapter ...read more

Take Your Burdens To The Lord…leave Them There!!!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 26, 2023

The radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh was loved by some and hated by others. However, for years when he was alive he was the most listen to person on talk radio.

His success in talk radio came about because many feel that he expressed on national radio what many Americans think and cannot express. That is, he gave his listeners a voice to public express what they believed. One reason many people like to read the Psalms in the Old Testament is ...read more
