    When The Walls Come Tumblin' Down

    Contributed by Deborah Westbrook on Mar 13, 2009

    Jesus anger wasn’t about selling things; it was about the evil vendors preying upon the innocent. When barriers go up relationship is broken.

    John 2:13-22 When the Tables Come Tumbling Down I would hazard a guess that when most of us think of Jesus, we picture the soft spoken, peace loving, gentle as a lamb, Savior. Always smiling, always patient, always kind. There is no doubt that Christ had a side of Him ...read more

    based on 45 ratings
     | 22,228 views

    A message focusing on Judas’ betrayal and the need for repentance. Since Jesus knows the secrets of our hearts, He could blast us. Instead, He uses the weapon of love.

    Sermon Notes “Jesus’ Weapon of Choice” Matthew 26:20-25 Introduction: There are some biblical names we just do not give to our kids. Others are quite common.

    Imitators Not Pretenders Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 14, 2020
     | 5,270 views

    Paul wanted to ensure the Thessalonians imitated the example he had lived before them, and most importantly, the example of Christ. Rather than pretending to emulate their faith, they were to actively live out their faith.

    Imitators not Pretenders 1 Thessalonians 2: 10-13 As I studied this passage I was reminded of the need for sincerity and genuineness among the church. We live in a day plagued with hypocrisy. One of the most offered arguments against attending church in our generation is the presence of ...read more

We have considered and discussed many practical subjects that deal with human life and practice in our study and we continue to ...read more

     | 9,246 views

    We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

    Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more
