Worship

Contributed by Mike Hamilton on Apr 29, 2003

When Jesus says, "A time is coming and now has come when true worshippers will worship the Lord in spirit and in truth," he was giving us some insights into worship.

“Worship” John 4:7-23 If you were to ask 100 people what worship is, you’d probably get 100 different answers. The primary reason for this would be the wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Another reason for such a wide range of views of worship is the never-ending list of “worship ...read more

There Was Darkness Over All The Land

Friday - The Innocent One Is Condemned, Crucified, And Buried Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 4, 2022

On that Friday, of the last week of Jesus' earthly life, He was condemned, crucified, and buried. God's amazing plan for redemption and God's great love for us was on display through the awful events of that day. To follow Jesus requires that we pick up the cross daily and follow Him.

Meaningful And Meaningless Worship Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 30, 2022

This sermon focuses on Solomon's somewhat cynical view of Temple worshipers along with his corrective: to "stand in awe of God" and how it applies to our modern day church services.

I would like to open today’s sermon with a question. Why do we even bother to go to church? I imagine if I was to ask everybody, I would probably get different answers.
