    The Word Cuts Both Ways: An Exposition Of Hebrews 4:11-16

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Oct 8, 2021
     | 2,609 views

    Jesus wants us to enter into His rest.

    The Word Cuts Both Ways Hebrews 4:11-16 The passage we are studying this morning is often cut out from the Book of Hebrews and preached by itself. This isn’t improper as it adds to our understanding of the power and discernment of the Word of God. We tend to equate “Word of God” with the Bible as ...read more

    Turing Trials Into Triumphs Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 7, 2021
     | 6,317 views

    The first subject that James addresses in his letter is how to face our trials. His suggestion is shocking: we should welcome our trials with joy. But his reason for the suggestion makes sense when you understand things from God's perspective.

    A. In Max Lucado’s book, In The Eye Of The Storm, he tells a story about a parakeet named Chippie. 1. Chippie the parakeet never saw it coming -one second he was peacefully perched in his cage, and the next he was sucked in, washed up and blown over. 2. The problem began when Chippie’s owner ...read more

     | 3,956 views

    This is part 2 in the series looking at Joseph's life. Joseph did not excuse himself because of the circumstances he found himself in. His hard work caused him to rise to the top because the favor of God was on his life.

    It’s Time To Get Up—Joseph Got Up Part 2 7/28/2020 Genesis 39:1-10 Colossians 3:1-14 Last week, we looked at how Joseph’s family was really messed up. It was a home being torn apart by favoritism, privilege, anger, resentment and jealousy. Joseph had 11 other brothers. Joseph was his ...read more

    Faith Is The Victory

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Nov 8, 2023
     | 2,505 views

    How does faith give the victory? 1. Faith in the future. 2. Faith overcomes temptation. 3. Faith to Go on. 4. Faith to Die (Started working on this some years ago so have no idea where this outline came from. Yes, this sermon is based on the hymn, "Faith Is the Victory")

    HoHum: “everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4, NIV. The hymn “Faith is the Victory” is based on this verse. The author of this hymn, John Yates, overcame an accident prone childhood. In 1844, 7 year old John fell ...read more

    Facing A New Year In A Shaky World

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jan 1, 2024
     | 2,156 views

    We are facing a New Year, and while that can mean hope for a better future, the past and its troubles casts a shadow over that hope that is hard to ignore. We are living in a shaky world.

    Alba 12-31-2023 FACING A NEW YEAR IN A SHAKY WORLD I Thessalonians 3:1-5 Have you ever gone to a scary movie?

    Stand Fast

     | 1,048 views

    In the military, you were given a command to stand fast and await further orders even when you saw others marching. Too many Christians, especially new ones, run off at the command of men or emotions missing the Lord's command.

    Is it not odd that people who believe in the omnipresence of God seek some place where they feel closer to Him. He not the God of the oceans, the mountains or the fields. He is the God of the universe so wherever you are He is there. If you are not hearing from Him it is not a location ...read more

    The Way Of The Cross

    Contributed by Dawn Duryea on Mar 4, 2024
     | 1,052 views

    In today’s Gospel reading, Peter responds to Jesus’ announcement that the Messiah will have to suffer and die by denying the cross. Peter is in essence denying the truth of this teaching – that the Messiah must suffer and by extension, his disciples.

    Last week we heard about Jesus being tempted in the wilderness right after his Baptism. That’s the way it feels sometimes – you just make a decision and then things happen that immediately bring your decision into question. This wilderness, of course, is metaphorical and now we find ourselves in ...read more

    As we continue looking at Jesus' High Priestly Prayer, we see Him shift focus to the disciples (and by extension - us). How wonderful it is that we have an advocate with the Father.
