    Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

    [NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen? Life can come at you from out of nowhere and turn on a dime, can’t it? Last Sunday we gathered here to worship and had no idea how our little corner of ...read more

    Why would you want to settle for just “doing church” when you could be filled with the awe of God?

    Mary and I are truly grateful to the church for providing us with some extended time off to celebrate our 40th anniversary.

    The Great Betrayal

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2018
     | 9,753 views

    Judas first stole a few shekels and then made some more wrong choices until he was pulled deeper and deeper into depravity. Be careful about minimizing your sins because they may lead you to something even darker and more destructive.

    The month of February reminds me of my candidating weekend at Edgewood five years ago when you were checking me out and I was checking you out to see how God might be leading each of us. I think I preached at least five times, attended a number of groups and met with a ton of people. I still ...read more

     | 7,396 views

    Because God is truth, we must tell the truth.

    Let’s begin with a brief survey. Raise your hand if you’ve ever lied. If you didn’t raise your hand, it’s likely you just lied because Psalm 116:11 says, “All mankind are liars.” In 2002, a University of Massachusetts study found “that 60 percent of people lied at least once during a 10-minute ...read more

    I think that sometimes when we get to this subject of marriage we find ourselves in a challenging place and we need to be able to acknowledge it.

    Each week I create a title for the sermon and I do that because they create images and they put this online so that we can find it the next time it comes out or that something else happens. So we can find it in our blog and so on. This week I created the title for this message: How to Have a Great ...read more

    Perhaps the greatest challenge the church faces is finding her place in changing world, on that doesn’t appear to be getting better. John gives an imperative for the church, make investment on in God’s promises which are eternal, not in a worldview that is destined to fail.

    Our society is infatuated with extremes, there seems to be no common ground for living. I developed a model, Pathway to Recovery, that illustrates this dynamic.
