Someone suggested that today’s service is bit like a funeral, or at least a memorial service and the passage we’re looking at today might reinforce that idea. But I hope that’s not how you see it. This is meant to be a celebration of good ministry that’s happened over a long period of time and ...read more

The Reality Of Hell

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 21, 2022

The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

The Lord Who Leads Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003

Since this psalm is so familiar, we’re in danger of missing the depth of its meaning. And, because it’s setting is in the world of sheep and shepherds, many of us city slickers can slide right past its richness.

Abraham Lincoln read it to cure his blues, and President Bush proclaimed it publicly to calm our nation’s fears after 9-11. I read these words out loud a week ago ...read more
