    NEW YEAR’S NEEDS Text: Eph.4: 10-13 Intro: I’m not sure why it is, but every year when New Year’s Day rolls around, I find myself experiencing a certain excitement and expectancy. Perhaps it’s just the sense of starting over. Or maybe it’s the thought of a new beginning coupled ...read more

    Paul explained that our development, our mindset, our attitude in life, should model that as of Christ Jesus Himself. We must be like that of a “DRINK OFFERING”, a life that is so consumed by Christ that others do NOT SEE OURSELF, BUT INSTEAD they see JE

    INTRODUCTION Paul began chapter 2 calling for the church to have an attitude of humility and cooperation standing together during a time of persecution. Last week, Paul explained that our development, our mindset, our attitude in life, should model that as of Christ Jesus Himself. Today, he ...read more

     | 4,045 views

    Religion to most is external- what you look like. Jesus says that a religion that is worth anything begins internally with a relationship with Him and will be lived out to the widows and orphans that we meet in life.

    What Is A Christian?

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 2, 2020
     | 5,655 views

    I remember hearing a story of a young boy asking his father what is a Christian? After the father explained, the young boy asked, “Dad have I ever seen a Christian?”

    The word Christian is a very loose term; at least we use it very loosely, and it has become, in America, a meaningless term. To some, it means anybody living in the United States, and is not Jewish. The term Christian has been so abused and diluted that it has very little meaning to most of us ...read more

    A Head Table Mentality Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 26, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,790 views

    A leader is not automatically the honored guest. He or she must take the lowest seat at the table and learn to serve others. Only then, will Jesus move that person higher. If someone grabs the best seat, he or she will be moved lower.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Head Table Mentality,” and it’s taken from a parable that discusses the valued position of the meek and lowly. This parable promotes Christ-like leadership over the worldly model of leadership in which power and control seems to be the normal style. Kenneth ...read more

    Peter urges us as believers (especially new ones) to be nourished and grow closer to Jesus, and he highlights five anti-growth attributes that will keep us from doing so! Avoid the evil, cling to what is good!

    Text: 1 Peter 2:1-3 1 Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and all evil speaking, 2 as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, 3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
