Things That Give God Joy

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Feb 23, 2025

God’s happiness is not based on material offerings or religious rituals but on our obedience, faith, worship, and love for others. When we walk in righteousness, win souls, and serve Him faithfully, we bring Him great joy.

The Overcoming Blood

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 8, 2025

The Blood of Jesus absolves us of sin, gives us a new nature, is the ground of our righteousness, propels us into heavenly victory over the devil, and is a day by day cleansing power that transforms us into the image of Christ! PTL for the Blood!

You Are Invited R.s.v.p.

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 11, 2025

This message proclaims God’s gracious invitation to salvation, pictured in Jesus’ parable of the wedding feast. It calls hearers to accept the free gift of Christ’s righteousness—the wedding garment—and to live daily in surrendered fellowship.

Introduction: The Search and the Invitation Picture the best church potluck you’ve ever attended. The tables sag under the weight of steaming casseroles, fragrant breads, fruit and desserts that dare you to try “just one bite.” Everyone brings something, but nobody goes hungry. Now imagine the ...read more

That Sinner!

Contributed by Andrew Moffatt on May 22, 2014

A sermonette (I will use this at rest home services) about a bloke who had it so right with God it really make things quite messy in his relationships with his fellow man. Hey I'm just pleased I'm not like him. ;)

Jesus had a subtle and sometimes not so subtle way of getting through to people. I like how he delivers a message to a group of people who thought they had it bang on right with God, to a group of people who were confident that they had it right with God. Jesus tells them a story that actually cuts ...read more

Be Holy... Mission Impossible?

Contributed by Paul Davidson on May 22, 2017

Be Holy… How is this even possible? I have a difficult time just being a decent husband and father. How am I supposed to be as holy as God Himself? I’m just human. I make mistakes. Why am I being commanded to do something that seems to be impossible?

Please turn in your Bibles to 1 Peter 1:13-22… [READ] Our key verses this morning are verses 15-16… “15 but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16 because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” Be Holy… How is this even possible?

God Gives Reassurance Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 29, 2022

Abraham had some tremendous high points, but he had low points too. Knowing that will help us when you are not experiencing victory after victory. Sometimes you do not see everything you are trusting God for, and it is hard to have faith.

God said it. I believe it. That settles it. That is a bold statement. You can order a bumper sticker that has this declaration of faith. However, are there times we need reassurance from God? Abraham might have ordered a bumper sticker for his camel that said: God, you said it. I heard it. ...read more

Mysterious Melchizedek Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Mar 8, 2022

One Scottish preacher, Bill Freel said, “If you grasp the significance of Melchizedek you have entered into a spiritual wonderland”. In Genesis 14 Melchizedek is observed historically. In Psalm 110 Melchizedek is spoken of prophetically and in Hebrews 5 & 7 Melchizedek is applied doctrinally.

Intro Here is a question in recognizing greatness. Who was the greatest man of the Old Testament? The answer might surprise you. It is Melchizedek. Wow and he is only mentioned twice in the Old Testament Genesis 14:18-20 and Psalms 110:4. We get a little more about this mysterious king found in ...read more

Choices Of The Heart Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022

This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.

I’m going to assume that you all are familiar with a popular little game show called “Let’s Make a Deal.” It’s been on for, like, ever it seems. The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more
