    Praying With Jesus: Overcoming Temptation Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 4,528 views

    As we pray, we recognize sources of temptation: the world, the flesh, and the devil. We commit ourselves to overcoming with God's help: Know what is right, tell the truth, build a life too good to lose, and play to win.

    PRAYING LIKE JESUS: OVERCOMING TEMPTATION—Matthew 6:9-13, 1 Corinthians 10:12-14 Have you ever said something like this? “I don’t know how it happened. I got sucked in, and I couldn’t seem to avoid it.” “Why did I say that? It was stupid and wrong—and I didn’t really mean to.” “I want that so bad! ...read more

    OPEN : - Why such a pain for my Brothers and Sisters in Sri Lanka? - Why so much killing..violence ? - When will God judgment such cruelty ? - Why did God allow this to happen? When Rev.

    08 A Risen Redeemer Series

    Contributed by Seth Lawson on Apr 25, 2025
     | 247 views

    Only the Risen Christ can make us holy, satisfying God’s justice and securing our hope.

    What does it take to feel whole again? Maybe that’s not how we usually phrase it—but we’ve all felt the gap. The ache that comes from broken things. A fractured relationship. A shame we can’t shake. A hope we once held that didn’t pan out. Even though we smile through it, something deep inside ...read more

    Pharaoh had been warned ten times already to let God’s people go, yet by sending his army after Israel, Pharaoh revealed that he still had not learned.

    TITLE: FOOL AROUND AND FIND OUT SCRIPTURE: EXODUS 5:2 / EXODUS 15:1 I want to lift as a thought this morning from this text – FOOL AROUND AND FIND OUT. We hear the words from EXODUS and whether we like it or not, fragments of clips begin to play in our imagination. For some of us the scenes ...read more

    Looking at 2 Samuel 9, let's talk about 3 people (Some material adapted from Ability Ministry's booklet on First Church of Mephibosheth: https://abilityministry.com/product/the-first-church-of-mephibosheth/)

    HoHum: I remember going to Sunshine camp on the grounds of Camp Rudolph in Yale, Virginia for 3 weeks one summer while in college. It was such an inspirational experience.

    A sermon about finding love by experiencing the love of God.

    “Love is Not a Concept” 1 John 4:7-21 Last week I finished reading a best-selling novel written by Barbara Kingsolver called “Demon Copperhead.” It’s set in the mountains of Southern Appalachia and starts when the protagonist, a boy named Damon who comes to be called Demon is born. Born to a ...read more

    Dying To Know

     | 42 views

    Death is not the end; when Christ’s trumpet sounds, God’s love and power will open every grave and restore life.

    A passerby, unwilling to let the rhyme have the last word, pulled out a black marker and added: > To follow you, I’m not content, until I know just where you went. That small dialogue between chisel and marker captures the universal question. Everyone who has ever wandered through a graveyard ...read more

    To See Thy Face

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 25, 2025
     | 50 views

    Creation will be restored; sin and death ended. God brings humanity home forever. We will see His face and live with Him.

    (The Long Road Home) Home. It’s the one word that can make grown adults swallow hard and stare off into the distance like they just remembered something important. Ask people what they want most in life and beneath all the surface answers—success, health, stability, love—you usually find a ...read more

    What Would Make Heaven Hell?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 26, 2025
     | 131 views

    Heaven is joy only for hearts transformed by Jesus. Without holiness, God’s presence becomes torment. Christ alone gives us a heart fit for heaven.

    Heaven. The word alone sounds like comfort. Endless peace. Reunions. Rest. Joy without sorrow. Life without loss. Every funeral reminds us of it. Every aching heart hopes for it. If you asked the average person today what they believe about eternity, most would say something like, “Oh, sure, I ...read more

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 15 views

    Psalm 22 reveals honest lament, prophetic suffering, and Christ’s redeeming victory, transforming our deepest “why?” into confident praise through His finished work.

    INTRODUCTION — THE PSALM WE HEAR BUT RARELY ENTER Psalm 22 is one of the most famous passages in Scripture, but ironically, it is one of the least understood. We know its opening line because Jesus cried it from the cross. We quote it during communion, on Good Friday, in moments of grief, and in ...read more

    Peace On Earth

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 24, 2024
     | 837 views

    Do you know God’s peace in the midst of situations that the world gets anxious about? If not, examine yourself: Is your faith in Him and your focus on His kingdom, rather than on selfish pursuits?

    Opening illustration: Review my life: 1970-71 was the Indo-Pak war and my family and I were in the war-zone living most of the nights in blackouts and bunkers when the war planes would come. 1980’s (for a decade) national unrest and civil war. 1990-91 we were just married and thrust into region of ...read more

    This sermon explores the meaning of embodying the Fruit of the Spirit and how to cultivate these qualities to live beyond the law's limitations.

    Good morning, brothers and sisters in Christ. As we gather here today, we find ourselves on the precipice of a profound revelation, a revelation that has the power to transform our lives and the way we live out our faith. Today, we turn our hearts and minds to the teachings of the Apostle Paul in ...read more

    Isaiah’s prophecy is important because everything that happened to Jesus was a part of God’s plan. A plan for all people!

    INTRODUCTION - Last week, when we started this series, I said that the entire Bible was about Jesus. Sometimes, He sits under the surface of the page; other times, He is hidden between the lines, but this week, we will see Jesus jumping out of the page of the text. - Our text today will illuminate ...read more
