    It Only Took A Short Time Series

    I am so glad that March is over. It is going to remembered years from now like September 11th, or the day that Katrina roared onto the Gulf Coast on August 29th, 2005, or the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. You ask why?

    Introduction: I am so glad that March is over.

    Greed Series

    Contributed by Thomas Black on Jan 28, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 13,534 views

    Greed with it’s power to grab hold of your soul will rob you of making wise decisions, and will turn you into a fool. Greed is costly, it’s not a cute little sin that just sits there being harmless, it’s robs, steals, kills and destroys all that you hold

    Passage: Genesis 13:10-13; 2 Peter 2:7-8 A woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond rings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and gold Rolex." "But you are not wearing any of those things," he replied. "I know," she said. "It’s in ...read more

    The Victory Of The Crucified King

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 25, 2022
     | 1,344 views

    Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941), the assassination of President Kennedy (November 22, 1963), and the terrorist act upon America (September 11, 2001) are all considered "infamous" days. The true "day of infamy" was 2000 years ago, when we attempted to kill God Incarnate.

    The central theme of the Gospel is that the Lord Jesus was placed upon the cross for the redemption of our sins. It was an act of mercy, love, grace, and salvation that we did not deserve (Romans 5:6-11). It was also the day that rebellious humanity shook its fist at God Almighty, and the ...read more

    The Proof Is In The "Putting" Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 11, 2016
     | 5,184 views

    Jesus offers us a costly freedom from our enslavement to sin. It cost his life and ours. When we live obedient lives, we learn the truth of God and enjoy his freedom. The proof of our discipleship is seen by what we "put off" and "put on" in our lives.

    1. Braveheart In the movie Braveheart Mel Gibson plays the role of a man from Scotland whose name was William Wallace. Wallace was trying to win Scotland's freedom from the cruel rule of the King of England, Longshank. His hatred for both Scotland and Wallace grew as Wallace won many victories ...read more

    Mary gave up a lot to show her love for Jesus. It can be costly to be a disciple. To come before God the Father without fear, with our sins removed wiped clean to live forever in his presence far outweighs anything we might give up out of our love for him

    We were discussing in our staff meeting this week the question of how you decide what to leave in your will, and to whom, when you die. As I was thinking about that I wondered how many of us have ever sat down and thought about what our priorities are in life; and when we come to write a will, to ...read more

    Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021
     | 8,020 views

    Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

    What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 31 – Destruction Has Tarnished The Gold; People As Earthen Vessels - Chapter 4:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 2, 2025
     | 140 views

    How the city lies in ruins with its Temple gold dulled and ugly. The once glorious people are now no more than earthen vessels in the sight of others. The Potter’s hand will restore Israel and God will fashion a people for His glory, His inheritance. We need the Potter’s hand to transform us.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 31 – DESTRUCTION HAS TARNISHED THE GOLD; PEOPLE AS EARTHEN VESSELS - CHAPTER 4:1-2 Chapter 4 is another Alphabet chapter, and describes practical issues like the Temple’s destruction, boiling of children, pursuers who are relentless, and the total helplessness of ...read more

    Selling Out To God Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,406 views

    Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

    Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

    Christmas doesn’t immediately mean the end of darkness. But Christmas does means there is a light in the darkness. And the light will eventually overtake the darkness.

    No one wants to miss the magic of Christmas. And no one wants to have anything less than a fantastic Christmas holiday experience. Christmas is this wonderful time of year, and we want to spread that unmitigated joy to everyone! But there are just some Christmases that we don’t have the joy that ...read more

    Thanks Series

     | 6,902 views

    Why do the Gospels tell us the story of the 10 lepers. What does their gratitude (or lack thereof) teach us about them - and about us as Christians?

    September 1923 - a devastating earthquake rocked the islands of Japan. And just in the city of Tokyo it destroyed nearly 75% of the buildings. The New York Tribune called the earthquake “Undoubtedly the greatest disaster in recorded time.” It was estimated that nearly 300,000 people died, and ...read more

    The value of finding the kingdom of God when looking for it and finding it when not looking for it.

    Introduction Around the late 1970’s and early 1980’s there was a craze for metal detectors. Everywhere you looked there were people searching the fields and around ancient monuments scouring around trying to find something of value. They were treasure hunters. Treasure hunting has always been a ...read more

    Paul expresses what God delights to see when His people gather. Men to seek God and pray with pure hearts, women dressed to honour God, and both men and women playing their distinct roles in serving God.

    1 Timothy 2:8-15 What God Delights to See 1 Tim 2:8-15 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarrelling; 9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with ...read more
