    Only God can stand against the evil that humans beings have brought into his world. he's done this by sending Jesus to become one of us, taking our place, becoming our substitute in facing God's anger and allowing humanity to be remade in God's image.

    Why the Cross A Sermon series based on the book of the same name by Dr Leon Morris I trust no-one here would doubt that the cross is central to the Christian faith. Without the cross Christianity becomes just another religion, emptied of its power. The cross is central to our life together; central ...read more

    Our chief goal must be salvation and faithfulness. We must point people to Christ, and not to ourselves. We have to offer Christ’s love and compassion. We are to witness to people and rejoice by being faithful.

    There is a story about two missionaries who were going door to door. They knocked on the door of one woman who was not happy to see them. She told them in no uncertain terms that she did not want to hear their message and slammed the door in their faces. To her surprise, however, the door did not ...read more

    KNOWING ABOUT “KNOWING”!!! Now this kind of title is bound to raise a few eyebrows much like the title “Prophesying about Prophecies” would do. Can we really prophesy about say Tribulation related prophecies contained in Rev 6-19 ...read more

    Countercultural Community, Part 2 Acts 2:42-47 After the apostles received the power of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, it was all about the power of the resurrection and this mindset to go against the grain and do whatever it took to honor God and bless other people.

    Sermon Moral Purity I Corinthians 6:9-11 Why would Paul assault the Corinthians with a catalog of sins that would keep them out of heaven.

    Never underestimate the value of your supporting role. Leadership is a lonely road at best, it is better when you know someone has got your back! Cover your leaders when they are most vulnerable.

     | 2,875 views

    This sermon deals with the tragedy we find in the bible of someone trying to make an unnecessary deal with God. God does not want our deals. He wants our obedience.

    Let’s make a deal! There is a game show, “Let’s make a deal” first aired on December 30th, 1963, and still airs today. In this show there are times that you make a choice and get a really great deal. But there are times that you can make a choice and get a “Zonk”. It’s all about the choices you ...read more

    Following Jesus, My Decision For Baptism Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 14, 2022
     | 2,157 views

    Philip was doing a great work in Samaria when the Holy Spirit sent him on what seemed a strange mission: go to Gaza, a desert region, and then get into a chariot. He obeyed, an Ethiopian official believed, and followed the Lord in baptism.

    Foreword: Full disclosure, I am a Southern Baptist and present this message from that perspective. Water baptism is part of the Great Commission (Matthew 28, Mark 16, e.g.) and is mentioned in connection with belief and with becoming a disciple. It is readily admitted there are others who hold ...read more

    In September of 2005 John Roberts went before the Senate Judiciary Committee to be examined to see if he was qualified to serve on the Supreme Court as the Chief Justice.

    Many liked the comparison he made with being a judge to being an umpire in a baseball game. He stated that he felt that as a judge, he is not a player of the game, but it is his job to call the FOULS and STRIKES! All the evidence indicates that he will make a good chief justice. But that can not ...read more

    What was so special about the church at Thessalonica? The people who attended it were TRULY SAVED.

    Someone might ask, “Is that not the case in all churches?” It would be good if it were true, but that is not the case. Some believe the greatest harvest field is within the four walls of their church because although the people may attend church, give to the church and associate mostly with ...read more
