    A reworking of one of my previous messages, this time for a New Year's Day emphasis.

    Joshua 1:12-18 – Settling into the New Year I heard a story about a college student who once sent a telegram to his parents reading: "Mom – flunked all courses. Kicked out of school. Wasted all money, mine and yours. Prepare Pop." Soon afterwards, Mom sent back a response: "Pop ...read more

    Our message today is that same that John the Baptist had - preach repentance and salvation and remission of sin because Jesus is coming soon.

    Preach the Coming of Jesus By Pastor Jim May Luke Chapter 3:2-18 God’s plan for the salvation of man was coming to pass. Jesus had been born in Bethlehem and he began to grow and gain wisdom and stature; gaining favor with both God and man. He learned quickly and, at 12 years of age, we find ...read more

    The battle that wages between lustful/worldly desire and submission to God.

    Most of you have heard of the Hatfield’s and the McCoy’s. The two famous families from Kentucky, but most do not know why this feud lasted over a decade, or why at least 12 people died. It was over a pig, that’s right, it started over a pig It turned into timber rights Escalated ...read more

    7 of 11. Paul closes his direction to the Ephesian church by encouraging them to find their strength in the Lord. But where or how can God's people find the strength to stand victorious? God’s people acquire strength to stand victorious thru a distinct...

    As the bride of Christ we take His name, we bare His name. Are we living our lives in vanity, poorly reflecting His name? Or are we allowing our lives to glorify His name?

    (Exodus 20:7 NASB) "7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain." This is one of the Ten Commandments I have misunderstood more than any other in the 17 years I have known the Lord: Don't take the Lord's name in ...read more

    We see Paul's care and concern for the family of God, his deep concern for the believers and his counsel for them to hold fast to the truth of God.

    We have finally reached the last chapter in our Sermon Series on the book of Romans. We started it on 23 May 2021 and it has taken us 9 months. • By now I hope we have a clearer understanding of Romans, the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the salvation that God has provided for us.

    We have received the instruction to "be careful" as a church. That instruction serves a purpose.

    This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men. Be careful! That was two words I heard a lot growing up. It wasn’t that I was accident ...read more

    The first of a four part series entitled, ‘Four Resolutions for 2008’

    For this sermon series there is a temporary change in the public reading of scripture. I am appreciative of our worship leaders who read the main sermon text each week. (Even when they have those hard to pronounce Old Testament words in them!) (Slide 1) The reason for this change is that we are ...read more

    We can all identify with that Woman at the Well. Jesus comes to each of us one-on-one to reveal himself to us so that we may have that Living Water.

    The Woman at the Well Pastor Jim May The Feast of Passover had come to an end, and it was time to get back to the daily work of ministry and teaching so Jesus stepped out onto the dusty road leading from Jerusalem to Galilee, followed closely by his 12 disciples. This was to be one of many ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,502 views

    If Christ is the head of the church, no bullying can ever be justified to bring about the result a leader desires. We must permit the Spirit of God to rule the church, and not mere mortals.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more
