    Jesus heals to return outcast into a community and a relationship with God.

    Trading Spaces Mark 1:39-45 A couple of weeks ago we looked at how Mark describes the first Synagogue incident. The people were amazed a Jesus teaching style. It was unique and authoritative. Add to that with words only Jesus commanded the spirit the hush and leave a church member and it did. ...read more

    The Call

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 14, 2011
     | 6,152 views

    This sermon speaks to the question, does God call people specifically to the pastorate? This sermon was presented in the context of inviting Salvationists to consider if God is calling them to "shepherd ministry" as a Salvation Army officer.

    The Call – Not a Ten Digit Number Scripture: 1 Samuel 3:10 • As you consider your life-call to ministry today’s invitation is to ask if your life-call can be best lived out as an officer with The Salvation Army 1. Understanding the Call Two things at play: a. “Priesthood ...read more

    "Gain The Proper Perspective On Suffering” Series

    If one is going to live according to the principles & promises laid out here by our Lord in the beatitudes, he will suffer rejection from the world. Yet, through it all, he can be doubly blessed.

    In the Beatitudes, Jesus describes the qualities found in the lives of those who are truly happy. Not in the temporary, circumstantial sense which the world talks about, but in the eternal, ultimate sense which the world knows nothing about. He tells us that true happiness comes when one gains the ...read more

    Courage, Not Fear

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 13, 2024
     | 2,136 views

    The theme of this message—overcoming fear with courage. Jesus's disciples in Matthew 14 had the opportunity to exhibit courage, and we do too. The key is fixing our eyes on Jesus.

    Today I want us to look at replacing our fear with courage. Are any of you afraid of heights? I'll have to admit that I am one that is very afraid of heights. When I was in my teenage years, I was helping my dad and brother replace the water lines and sucker rods in his well. He had a ...read more

    The Holy Spirit in our lives.

    Like most everyone else, I think that television commercials are mostly to give us an opportunity to get up and get something to drink or to go the restroom or something without interrupting the actual show we are watching. For the most part, I am not a big fan of commercials. I can tolerate ...read more

    The main point of this sermon is to explore the story of the Curse of Ham, understand its connection to God's judgment on Ham's descendants, and recognize that in Christ, we are all one, regardless of our ancestry or background.

    Good morning, Church family! Today, we're going to explore a fascinating and often misunderstood story from the Old Testament, the Curse of Ham. We’ll talk about its connection to God's judgment on Ham's descendants and the impact of that curse on the Cushites. I recently read a quote by A.W. Tozer ...read more

    Social Ethics: Drinking Series

    There is great debate on whether Christians should consume alcohol. Here is why I choose not to drink, even though this is a matter of Christian liberty.

    “Drinking” Introduction: In the Bible there is much ambiguity involved with the topic of drinking. In fact it is so ambiguous that it falls under realm of a matter of opinion. However, I think it is important for us to determine whether a Christian should drink. Before I begin it is important ...read more

    We are familiar with lists. To Do Lists, shopping lists, Santa's Naughty List. We know God has lists. The 10 Commandments, Fruit of the Spirit, Gifts of the Spirit. . . but are we familiar with God's "Blacklist"?

    The Blacklist Pt. 5 - Foot Loose I. Introduction Lists are a part of life. Lists on paper. Lists on your phone. Lists are supposed to keep us ordered.

    We are practicing this abiding in Christ as we worship together with the hope that it will continue after the benediction is pronounced and the postlude ends.

    Like the good shepherd of last week’s text, this week’s image of the vine is another extended metaphor, which also borrows from and adapts Old Testament imagery for Israel. Whereas the Synoptic parable of the vineyard is a story of violence and greed (Mark 12:1-12), this image of the vine is one ...read more
