Haunted Houses

Contributed by Monte Brown on Oct 25, 2009

We live in an age, where a lot of Christians do not really believe in the activities of the spiritual world. Demonic possession is a Hollywood thing only seen on the big screen.

Prelude After reading Matthew 12:43-45 it come to me that the church in general does not believe in the spiritual warfare in the sense of a ragging battle that is going on around them. Even though the Bible continually warns us of the devices of Satan and the power that his army of demons have, ...read more

Numbers Is The Name Of The Game Series

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Jun 27, 2011

God’s use of numbers is intriguing and to understand them is to better understand His word. This message was developed after reading Dr. Rogers & Dr. Merritt and is very helpful for study.

Numbers is the Name of the Game Revelation 1:4, 20 * Years ago schools embraced a simple form of education which was jokingly referred to as the 3 R’s of learning; reading, ‘riting, & ‘rithmetic. Remembering this reminds me of a story which my dad tells and declares to be the truth. In rural ...read more

The Beast

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Mar 30, 2014

In this message we will examine the beast & the anti-Christ. Understanding the mission of Satan is mandatory for the Christian to evangelize today because people will never know how much you care about their eternity until you invest in them now.

The Beast Revelation, Part 18, Revelation 13:1-10 Introduction - On Wednesday night (plug for Wed) we saw a great application for us: -- WE KNOW THE ENEMIES BATTLE PLAN! - Today, WE have access to God in prayer -- Because of what Jesus did on the cross we have a direct line to ...read more

Who Am I?

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 14, 2014

As David looked up at the vastness of God’s universe, feeling his own smallness, he asks God, “What is man that you are mindful of him?" – that You care about him?” Today I want to focus on the first part of that question: What is man? Who am I?

Who Am I? Psalm 8:3-4 Intro: Several years ago, Time Magazine featured a story about Peter Sellers, a well-known English actor (prob. best known as Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther movies). The article was about him appearing on the Muppet Show & being interviewed by Kermit The Frog. His ...read more

Another "Jesus Saves Us From Our Storms" Sermon

Contributed by Jon Lipka on Aug 17, 2014

The message of Jesus' salvation and care for us in the midst of our storms is always relevant and new. Every day, new storms threaten to overtake us, if it weren't for the might of Jesus and His careful watch over us.

Today’s Gospel is very familiar to us all. We all love to hear of Jesus walking on the water, and Peter’s feeble attempt to walk to Jesus, from which Jesus saved him. And if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking that you know exactly what today’s sermon will be ...read more

Bread Clearly Broken

Contributed by Jon Lipka on May 6, 2012

Not through intellectual assent, wisdom, and knowledge, but through the act of love, the breaking of bread, do we recognize Jesus Christ and know him as our Risen Lord and Savior.

Hearing the message of the Gospel is not enough. Understanding, intellectual assent is not adequate. Peter’s proclamation of the Gospel at Pentecost did not result in the people exclaiming, “We agree with your reasoning,” or, “That makes sense to us.” Rather, ...read more
