    Nothing Is Impossible Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Dec 23, 2024
     | 1,012 views

    The God who opened closed wombs is the same God who can cause a virgin to conceive the Son of God, because nothing is impossible with God.

    Luke 1:26–56 ESV In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” ...read more

    Better: A Call To Goals & Growth

    All Scripture is taken from the ESV unless otherwise noted. I do not spend much time correcting spelling and grammar in my notes as I deliver these sermons orally. I apologize if that makes this sermon more difficult to follow on paper.

    Preached 1/5/25 I do want to say Happy New Year to all of you welcome to 2025, and as a church, we are so glad that you are here with us kicking off this new year being a part of God's family here in Riverton.

    Exercising And Exorcising

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 8, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 654 views

    In this passage, we see two blind men who had to "exercise" their faith to receive their sight. However, we see another kind of exercise in this passage; or rather, “exorcise,” as Jesus exorcised a demon from a man who was mute.

    You have probably heard someone say before that we need to “exercise” our faith. In Hebrews chapter 12, we read, “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1b-2a). Jesus is both the author and finisher. He is ...read more

    The story of Daniel in the bible starts out with him a 15 year-old boy.

    When I Am Faced With a Trial “Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever; wisdom and power are his.21 He changes times and seasons; he deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. 22 He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in ...read more

    Clothed With Christ Series

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on May 31, 2025
     | 801 views

    Have you ever tried to prove yourself—only to realize the gift was already yours? In Galatians 3, Paul reminds us that we don’t need to earn God’s love—we’re already clothed in Christ.

    I remember the first suit I ever bought for myself. It was 1988, and I was working at Men’s Wearhouse—so I had access to the good stuff, not Hart, Shafner, and Marx, but high quality suits. I picked out a charcoal gray, double-breasted suit with chalk line pinstripes. Sharp. Classic. It was a $300 ...read more

    A Pharisee offers sound advice to the council

    Unexpected Advice Acts 5:29-42 Does the LORD ever use non-believers or pagan people to speak truth or accomplish His will? In the Old Testament prophecy of Habakkuk, the LORD said He would use Babylon, which was a “ruthless” and “dreaded” nation, to achieve His purposes and correct Israel. The ...read more

    Surprised to see an empty seat at the Super Bowl stadium, a diehard fan remarked about it to a woman sitting nearby.

    More Christ Less Me “But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things.

    Colossians: Household Rules Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jun 21, 2025
     | 448 views

    This passage contains the dreaded "S" word, submit. But what did that mean 2000 years ago in Colossa and what does it mean for us today.

    It was a struggle; I was thinking that this week I would preach from Colossians 4:5–6 Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. I thought that I would ...read more

    The Gospel At Work In You

    Contributed by Lewis Martin on Jun 22, 2025
     | 412 views

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in your faith, stalled in your growth, or just unsure of where you stand with God, Paul has a word for you today: The Gospel isn’t just how you begin—it’s how you keep going. And it’s how you’ll finish.

    “The Gospel at Work in You” Philippians 1:1–11 Ok, I can be honest with myself: I need to lose weight. This isn’t about vanity—it’s about health. I’ve felt it in my energy levels, my sleep, and the way my clothes fit. I remember back in December thinking, “I really need to get serious about ...read more

    Be Ready For Persecution

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jun 25, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 595 views

    When facing persecution, Jesus' disciples (believers) must have endurance and wisdom, be certain to look like Jesus, preach the Word fearlessly, and trust that God is in control. What have we to fear when our life is in His hands?

    I would like to open with an illustration from the book Jesus Freaks: Jaun and his wife Maria felt God calling them to become missionaries in Columbia. Once, while travelling between villages, Jaun met about fifty armed guerillas. He took the opportunity to share the gospel with them, and twenty ...read more
