    Love Or Cosmetology? Series

    Valentine's Day: If church members do Christian things like feed the homeless or go on mission trips, and these acts are done without love, then people are just wasting their time. Without love, God doesn’t care what we do for Him.

    Neil Postman writes in his book Amusing Ourselves to Death, “that we have reached the point where cosmetics has replaced ideology [or “practice”] as [a] field of expertise.”(1) The verb “cosmeticize” means, “to make something unpleasant or ugly superficially attractive.”(2) It’s common for people ...read more

    This is the first part of our Advent series where we look at the four themes of Advent

    I can think of nothing sadder than a life lived without hope. A hope that regardless of how bad things might seem, that things could get better. That ultimately every night has a dawn, every storm has an end, and every mountain has a peak. Author and preacher Max Lucado writes, “We need hope. ...read more

     | 7,424 views

    Today's sermon is about finding our hope when we're at the end of our rope, and how vital hope is, and what we can do to regain our hope as seen in what King David wrote in Psalm 62.

    Living In The Tree Of Life (Part 2)

    The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is the formation of a value system; or rather, a "judgement" system. Living in the tree of life is making decisions from life and liberty, and what stimulates life in both you and others.

    This morning’s message is a continuation of last week’s on the tree of life, and I have entitled our sermon, “Living in the Tree of Life” – Part 2. I would like to begin with some food for thought by sharing a real life illustration of a historical figure who walked in the tree of life. George ...read more

    Everyone loves a good comeback story. It's thrilling to see someone go from being on the verge of defeat to clawing their way back into it and then achieve the impossible comeback. Let's take a look at the parable of the prodigal son-the comeback kid.

    THE COMEBACK KID Luke 15:11-32 Everyone loves a good comeback story. It's thrilling to see someone go from being on the verge of defeat to clawing their way back into it and then achieve the impossible comeback. There have been many memorable comebacks in sports.

    The Wonder Of Jesus Accepting Us Series

     | 30,795 views

    It’s become fashionable for churches to "target" a specific audience in their messages and ministry. But is that really such a good idea? Is it possible that in targeting specific groups we might be undermining our real ministry?

    OPEN: In my files I ran across these nuggets of wisdom from little children: Patrick, age 10 - "Never trust a dog to watch your food." Hannah, age 9 - "When your dad is mad and asks you, ’Do I look stupid?’ don’t answer." Taylia, age 11 - "When your mom is mad at your dad, don’t let her brush ...read more

    INTRODUCTION: In the movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” Kevin McCarthy's character yells to passersby: “They’re coming! They’re here already!

     | 6,939 views

    When you fail, don’t try to save yourself. Instead, realize you’re a loser (we all are), and rely on the Lord to turn your failure into victory!

    Recently, I came across some cynical observations on life and work: Nothing is foolproof to a talented fool; the early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese; borrow money from a pessimist – they don't expect it back; if at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence ...read more

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 27, 2022
     | 2,214 views

    After the flood people were told to spread out and multiply but instead, humanism stayed tut and tried to build up to heaven. They were in defiance of God and wanted to displace Him but God confused their language. The start of Babel.

    In this sermon, I use the classic Christmas movie Miracle on 34th Street to illustrate some important spiritual truths about the real identity of Jesus and how the story of Jesus is fact and not fiction.

    The sermon encourages perseverance in doing good, assuring that faithful, unseen efforts matter and will ultimately yield a harvest in God’s perfect timing.

    Some of us walked in today a little weary, a little worn, and a little wondering. You’ve been faithful in the small things—praying for prodigals, blessing neighbors, showing up for work with integrity, holding your tongue when it would be easier to snap, trusting God when the calendar feels crowded ...read more
