    What is God’s purpose for establishing the church? Are we fulfilling this purpose or running in the wrong direction like Jonah did? As a church may we realize our purpose and fulfill it at all cost.

    We read in Jonah 1:3, “But Jonah rose to flee to Tarshish from the presence of the LORD. He went down to Joppa and found a ship going to Tarshish. So he paid the fare and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish, away from the presence of the LORD.” (ESV) The word of the Lord we saw in the ...read more

    Many times winning at all costs is the mantra that we live by. But Jesus challenges us to become like a child - what does that mean, really, and how does it help God rescue us?

    Why is it that we always measure everything by who the best at it or who’s the richest or most popular or highest ranking or most powerful? Every year we have lists and competitions and contests to determine these things – the Super Bowl, the NBA playoffs, the Forbes list of the richest Americans, ...read more

    Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way. Just as the children of Israel. Best lessons are learned while in the wilderness. Let’s see why!

    Introduction There’s an old saying and I wished I knew who to give the credit to but it goes like this, "Doing things the smart way don’t cost half as much as doing things the dumb way!" How true. Just ask the children of Israel. How long did you say it took them to reach the promised land, Oh ...read more

    247 millions call themselves Christians yet Jesus calls us to be disciples. what is a disciple and what are the cost and sacrifices to be a disciple? (Taken from a series by Pastor Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch.tv)

     | 6,037 views

    As we consider the risks in following Christ, we need to acknowledge that He is the Christ headed for the cross; therefore, it will cost to follow Him, but the risk is worth it, because being with Christ is the only way to live!

    A man named Fred inherited a huge land grant, but the will provided that he could choose land in either Chile or Brazil. He chose Brazil. Unhappily, if he had chosen Chile, he would have received his inheritance in land on which they had recently discovered uranium, gold and silver. But he chose ...read more

    Avoid them by any means necessary! They drive up the cost. The dreaded “middle man”! However, there is one “middle man” that you can’t afford to bypass.

    “Middle-Man” Text: Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing. He will quiet you with his love, He will rejoice over you with singing. I. ...read more

    Reluctant Recruits

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 1, 2018
     | 8,970 views

    Jesus did not present a rosy, unrealistic picture of the Christian life. In Luke 9 we encounter 3 potential recruits. Jesus appraises their resolve, exposes their excuses, and urges them to consider the cost of discipleship

    It’s Career Day at the high school and a small crowd is gathered at the Army’s booth. A Recruiter tells the students about field duty in the winter, eating MRE’s, family separations, grueling physical exercise, frequent moves, and the likelihood of war…and pretty soon he’s standing alone.

    As believers we are called to discipleship that is to be an ever growing closer walk and relationship with Christ. But following Christ, being a disciple, comes at a cost. The question is “What are you willing to pay to follow Christ?”

    What Are You Willing to Pay? 2 Samuel 24:24 It has always amazed me the contrast between people at an auction and those at a garage sale. You can have the same identical item that sells in an auction for a hundred dollars while in a garage sale people are not willing not to spend even one dollar ...read more

    The gift of Friendship, brotherhood has a cost. Consider the word: WITH. Ministry involves being WITH people. Can we agree to be together? WITH? I WANT TO BE WITH GOD... BUT I ALSO DESIRE FOR GOD TO BE WITH ME.

    "i Will Proclaim The Truth" Series

     | 2,866 views

    The Bible says that both people and society will grow more wicked as the time approaches for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. The preacher is to face this with the soul-convicting, life transforming power of the Word and Spirit, no matter the cost.

    Anyone who makes the ridiculous statement that the Bible is merely a human book, and nothing more than a collection of inspiring stories has let others do their thinking for them, mimicking someone else's skepticism, or have claimed to have read it to end up condemning what it says about the ...read more

    The Church of Smyrna was commended for its loyalty to Christ even though it cost many their lives. Would we be willing to give up our lives if Christ called us to do so - to be loyal to Him

    The Church at Smyrna. Rev 2:8-11 Last Sunday we looked at the first of the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse (also known as the Seven Churches of the Book of Revelation) - the Church of Ephesus.

    Truth is a rarity, but that’s only part of what makes it so valuable. You must make Truth your own, value it, defend it, stand for it, and protect it at all costs.

    Don’t Sell Out By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Truth is a rarity, but that’s only part of what makes it so valuable.
