Sermon # 18 - Peace-Makers Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Oct 17, 2024

Jonah’s disobedience to God resulted in total chaos and turmoil for all aboard the ship. God’s call to His children is to be peace-makers wherever we are. The word of God cautions those who cause disunity and discord of serious consequences.

We read in Jonah 1:15, “And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.” (AFV) The background to this verse is that a sea-voyage which commenced peacefully, with the hopes of a tranquil journey, was suddenly confronted with a furious and violent storm. ...read more

Sermon # 3 - A People Blessed By God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 25, 2024

We as a church are a people blessed by God. God’s word teaches us how blessings and curses operate. Only when God’s blessings are on us can we remain safe and protected from the attacks of Satan.

We read in Numbers 23:11, Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I brought you here to curse my enemies, but all you have done is bless them." (GNB) As we continue these studies on the church, we realize that many people have not understood the importance of church, and ...read more

More Righteous Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 16, 2024

Why would Jesus seemingly praise the Pharisees saying our righteousness should exceed theirs? Why would I need to compare my righteousness to that of men that Jesus despised?

A man was telling about being a student at the University of Southern California, and he and his friends worked hard to earn their PhDs, because they wanted to be would allowed to hold the coveted title of “doctor”. Then, one day one of their professors told about a friend of his who’d called his ...read more

Have you gone through rejection and are feeling unworthy or unloved? This message will help us understand how much God loves us, and how He can bring healing to all of our hurts from the past.

Setting The Tone For Jesus Series

Isaiah in 700 B.C. set the stage for what we believe as Christians today, a strong evidence for the truth of the Gospel and an encouragement to our faith.

Setting the Tone for Jesus (Isaiah 7:1-17, 8:1-4, 9:1-7). 1. A middle-aged, wealthy woman has a heart attack. While on the operating table she has a near death experience.

Sermon # 33 - God's Unchanging Laws Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 31, 2023

We are indeed saved by grace, but does that mean that the laws of God given in the Old Testament are no longer applicable to us? God’s word gives us clarity, and helps us to understand how God’s grace and God’s laws apply to us today.

In Romans 3:31, Paul writes, “Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.” (GNB) There is a lot of teaching on the grace of God and faith that we must place in Him. Grace and faith are fundamental for our walk with God, but it is important ...read more

The Overflowing Cup

Contributed by Norris Harris I on Jan 24, 2003

Oop's! Theres A Fork In The Road!

Contributed by Kenneth Burisek on Feb 5, 2005

Narrow way/Broad way---Comparing two Old Testament men of God Joseph and David who came to the same fork in the road with a decision to make. I use a lot of Country/Western lingo as we are a country style church.

Oops !!! There’s a fork in the road !!! Matthew 7:13-14 * 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: * 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and ...read more

A Blessed Benefactor Blesses Bountifully

Contributed by Mack Armstrong on Jul 3, 2007

The promise was given by David, centuries ago: if any nation claims God to be its God and Lord, then that nation will be blessed. Our land laid claim to that promise years ago and true to His word, God has blessed this country bountifully.

The Cost Of A Christ-Centered Life

Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 3, 2003

Salvation is a free gift, it can’t be earned or deserved. However, for the Christian to live a life Centered on Christ...it will cost us something. David would not give what did not cost him anything...so what are our "costs"?

"The Cost of a Christ-Centered Life" SONG TO INTRODUCE THE MESSAGE - "Yes, Lord, Yes" Oh, how we MUST say yes! -Like Isaac’s willingness as he gave his life on the altar...we too must be willing to say YES to what God asks? Now, I know that most of us have already said yes to the Lord...being ...read more

How To Be Victorious In Trouble

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Apr 13, 2011

C. H. Spurgeon says, "The gloom of the cave is over the psalm, and yet, as if standing at the mouth of the cave itself, the prophet poet David sees a bright light a little beyond." If you are in trouble, in the cave – In the darkness of trial – remember t

Intro: Each one of us sooner or later (if not presently) experiences trouble. Here in this 142nd psalm we find David in great trouble.
