The Love Of Jesus On Display

The American Church has a bad image problem with the new generation, which is leaving in droves. Here are suggestions for fixing that image -- we need to become known for WHAT WE'RE FOR instead of being known for WHAT WE'RE AGAINST. We must be known as people of love & compassion.

The Call To Unity Series

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 15, 2020

Dwight L. Moody once stated, "I have never yet known the Spirit of God to work where the Lord's people were divided." For God to bless the church, there must be unity.

Bust-A-Move

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 7, 2018

This sermon looks at our need to allow the Holy Spirit to move into our lives and into the church so we can move up into the gifts and talents given to us by the Holy Spirit so that we can move out as a church into our community and the world.

But it also means to get moving, which is what we need to be doing as believers and as a church, because time is short. And so today I’d like to look at how we are to ...read more
