    Growing Wider Series

    We make disciples by telling others about our Jesus. But how do we do that, and what does it look like when we do?

    For years, they say there was a Divinity School that would invite people to pack a sack lunch and join them on a grassy picnic area where they’d have a prominent theologian give a lecture about God. One year they invited a liberal scholar to come speak and he spoke for 2 ½ hours telling the ...read more

    When God Disrupts Our Plans And Interrupts Our Life

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Oct 3, 2022
     | 11,356 views

    There is an old saying that goes “If you want to make God laugh then tell Him your plans”. Well let me just say God is not maliciously sitting on the throne in heaven laughing at every plan we make. The Bible says in Proverbs 16:9 “A man’s heart deviseth his way but the Lord directeth his steps”.

    When God Disrupts our plans and Interrupts our Life By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - There is an old saying that goes “If you want to make God laugh then tell Him your plans”.

    Christmas is so big - that we lose sight of the small things used to accomplish Christ birth. So Christians ought to make themselves insignificant for Christmas. Why?

    Little Things In The Christmas Story Text. Luke 2:10-14 Introduction: 1. Christmas is the - a. Largest single event of the year. (Incomparable) b. Largest expense of the year. Gifts, Travel, Telephone, Trees) c. Largest expectation of the year. Relatives, Engagements, Etc.) ...read more

     | 5,029 views

    The angelic visitations to Mary, Elizabeth, and Joseph make for an incredible account of God mastery of presentation. See how the wonder of Christmas comes alive in this part of Jesus’ birth.

    The Wonder of His Presentation (Part 2, The Wonder of Christmas) Text: John 1:1-14, Luke 1:26-38, Matt. 1:18-24, Luke 1:39-45 The birth of Jesus is an awesome encounter of God in the flesh.

    Part two of three in a stewardship series leading to Chest of Joash debt retirement Sunday, answering questions about why, how and when of making a commitment to give.

    6But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.7Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.8And God is able to make all grace ...read more

    The Transforming Gospel

    based on 194 ratings
     | 27,394 views

    Paul makes a special plea to his friend Philemon concerning his run-away slave but now a Christian, showing how the gospel transforms all relationships.

    THE TRANSFORMING GOSPEL Letter writing is almost a lost art. We’d rather pick up the phone or dash off an e-mail but I’m glad that Paul used pen and ink. Doubtless Paul, being a man of letters and bubbling over with ideas for the spread of the gospel, must have written many ...read more

    Who Is Melchizedek? Series

    Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Mar 10, 2001
    based on 97 ratings
     | 12,596 views

    Melchizedek seems like a mysterious figure in Genesis as he makes a brief appearance and then disappears until the New Testament. This sermon looks at the communion of Christ foreshadowed in Genesis.

    Who is Melchizedek? Genesis chapter 14 begins by detailing how the five cities of the plains rebelled against the king of Elam. We aren’t given the prior history except that these cities served this king and paid tribute to prevent being destroyed. It was not uncommon in those days for a defeated ...read more

    Just like the people in Elijah’s time we have to make a choice in regards to our relationship with God. (Real People True Stories -part one)

    "Elijah, What’s Your Final Answer" For the next couple of weeks we are going to be in a series called "Real People - True Stories..."

    How A Church Can Change For The Better

     | 41,748 views

    In this message, we explore five paradigm shifts that a church can make to have a better future. This is a kind of "halftime" talk from a pastor/coach to the congregation/team.

    To compete for a championship, during a game a great team has to make some adjustments. I sometimes think of the New Year as a kind of halftime. My personal internal calendar starts in August when the kids go back to school. The first semester is over. Now, it’s the halftime before the second ...read more

    A look at the suffering of Christ and the nature of sin that makes a crowd move from "Hosanna" to "crucify him"; the suffering of Christ provides for us the call and example of living for God.

    Samson And Sin's Triple-Whammy

    Contributed by Jim Miller on Jul 16, 2002
    based on 47 ratings
     | 4,062 views

    Sin has a way of deceiving us, first by blinding us to its dangers, then by binding us in its power, and finally by making us a slave to its impulses.

    SAMSON AND SIN’S TRIPLE-WHAMMY Judges 16:21 "Then the Philistines took him and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he became a grinder in the prison." INTRODUCTION: Christians who know that it was sin that nailed their Savior to the cross have no ...read more

    Too many Christians live mediocre lives. But they don’t have to. We have within us the ability to make a difference in our everyday lives.

    OPEN: "We rarely use the word ’cure,’" said the psychiatrist to his patient. "But after 5 years of therapy it is my pleasure to pronounce you completely cured." To his surprise an unhappy look came over the woman’s face. "What’s wrong?" he asked. "I thought you’d be thrilled." "Oh, it’s fine ...read more

    THE ADVERSITIES THAT COME ALONG TO BURY US USUALLY HAVE THE POTENTIAL SOLUTION WITHIN THEM. THE VERY REAL POTENTIAL IS THAT WE CAN MAKE IT, THIS WILL BENEFIT US!

    During the season to celebrate the birth of our Saviour, I’d like to talk about what the five letters that make up the word FAITH mean to me.

    FAITH Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. F Father – Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
