A Change In Religion Series

Are You A Disciple?

Contributed by Jerry Owen on Mar 6, 2018

Much of the church today has watered down the gospel so much in order to just attract attenders that Lordship and discipleship are completely foreign concepts. Many want only a casual relationship with Christ, but Christ is not a casual relationship God.

ARE YOU A DISCIPLE? Matthew 16:13-27 This week I was in my storage room looking for something. I reached to the top shelf and felt fur and claws.

Signs

Contributed by Bill Stonebraker on Jan 18, 2022

In John's Gospel, miracles are signs pointing to something beyond the miracle. In Jesus' 1st sign, turning water to wine, what does it point to? What's it got to do with us?

One friend decided to trap him. “Do you really believe Jesus turned water into wine?” “Absolutely!” he replied. “For me, He’s turned wine into a ...read more

Walking In Love Series

Contributed by Michael Taber on Feb 9, 2021

A series of messages that suggest that walking with the Lord daily is as easy as Peter's walking on the water. If we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus we will be able to carry out the commands to walk found in Ephesians 4-6.

Here this morning we are moving our message series from Sunday nights to Sunday morning. Because I believe that this mini-series is one that our entire church needs to grapple with and I am praying that this concept will grip your heart. That when God calls you and I to walk in love, to walk in ...read more

"Pausing For The Blessing”

Contributed by Bubot Parago on Feb 21, 2019

it is as if Peter is no longer standing on water but standing on the Word “COME” of our Lord... Peter had a solid rock word on his feet. That is, until he saw the wind. Can you imagine he can see the wind?

In this hurry-up world, fast-paced technologies, waiting for anything can cause us to lose our temper, our patience and our good sense—more frequently than we care to admit!

Templegate: Jesus Cleanses The Temple - Easter 2024

Contributed by Scott Maze on Apr 1, 2024

The Bible says that many were willing to believe in Him because of His signs, or His miracles. Still, Jesus can see through such false “belief.” If belief were a pool of water, then their belief would have been a puddle.

Ever since Watergate that took down the 37th President of the United States, scandal and corruption stories often end with the word” gate” as a result.
