     | 3,591 views

    In this introductory sermon to a series on 1 Timothy, we explore the relationship between Paul and Timothy and the reason that Paul wrote him this letter. Paul wanted to remind him of the way people should conduct themselves in God's household.

    Introduction: A. How many of you like to watch home improvement shows on television, like Fixer Upper, Property Brothers, or Home Town? 1. We like to watch those shows in our household. 2. It’s amazing to see the home renovation those folks are able do with $100,000! Right? 3. But you know, ...read more

    The Church Is Missional Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 5, 2022
     | 4,105 views

    The focus of this sermon is that the church not only is about the sending short and long-term missionaries, but that the Church exists for missions and that every Christian is a missionary.

    We have been going through a six-part series called The Nature of the Church. You may recall when I started the series I said that there were basically three aspects that help give definition to the church. I said the church was Christ initiated. The church is a spiritual community. The ...read more

    There are extremes in the organization of Christian churches. Some want to give the Holy Spirit freedom to “flow” but God is organized.

    There are extremes in the organization of Christian churches. Some want to give the Holy Spirit freedom to “flow” but God is organized. “God isn’t a God of disorder but of peace.

     | 137 views

    God brings peace and order to our lives and church, inviting us to trust His presence and follow His clear, simple guidance with settled hearts.

    If you walked in today with a heart that feels hurried, with thoughts that scatter like leaves in a gust of wind, you’re in good company. Life has a way of turning up the volume. Deadlines stack up. Conversations get clipped. Sleep runs thin. And then Sunday comes, and we find ourselves in the ...read more

    Jesus lovingly exposes our self-sufficiency, invites us to deeper dependence on Him, and offers restoration, hope, and true riches for our lukewarm hearts.

    Some of us walked in today with a smile for the foyer and a sigh for the soul. Bills on the counter, deadlines on the calendar, questions on the heart. And yet, here we are, gathering around a Letter from Jesus to an ancient church in a city called Laodicea—a church with polished doors and tepid ...read more

    A great persecution arose against the church

    The Church on the Move Acts 8:1-17 There is a Yiddish proverb loosely based on Psalm 2 and James 4 that says, "We make plans and God laughs." This illustrates the truth of how we make our plans; however, unexpected events and things from the LORD alter those plans. Before going back to ...read more

    People go to Hell because of our division. The early Church was one and turned the world upside down. We need to unite in the one doctrine of God not the myriads of doctrines of men.

    1 Cor 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, ...read more

    The early church experienced amazing growth and power. She was very young and very pure. We must follow the biblical model rather than striving to meet the expectations of contemporary culture if we are to experience God's presence and power.

    The Path to Stability Acts 2: 42-44 Today I want to conclude our series: Church – A New Testament Model. Once again we are in the book of Acts, immediately following Pentecost. The Lord had ascended back to the Father, and the Spirit had come, filling the believers. The presence and power of God ...read more
