    No Satisfaction

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 10, 2025
     | 197 views

    Solomon’s relentless search for meaning—in wisdom, work, and wealth—ended in emptiness, proving that life “under the sun” cannot satisfy the human heart. Lasting joy and fulfillment come only from God through Jesus Christ, who alone turns life’s vanity into eternal victory.

    Introduction When “More” Is Never Enough It was the six-year-old boy’s first day of school. His one life ambition? Have as much fun as humanly possible. He marched through the gate with the bold confidence that only a child possesses, ready to squeeze joy out of every moment. But at noon there ...read more

    We can’t find our worth in our work, but we can worship God by how we work.

    You Can’t Take it With You Ecclesiastes 2:18-26 Rev. Brian Bill July 27-28, 2024 Billy Graham was fond of saying, “You’ll never see a hearse pulling a U-Haul.” That is, until now, because I came across a picture of one this week. As we continue to journey with Solomon in his search for ...read more

    MAGA (MAKE AMERICA GODLY AGAIN) BUT…True greatness does not come from political power, wealth, or military might but from a nation’s spiritual health —its devotion to God, righteousness, and truth.

    What if the pressure you feel isn’t because you’re failing—but because you’re trying to prove something you already are?

    Introduction I want to begin this morning with words that many of us recognize—not because they are complicated, but because they are honest. They weren’t written to impress anyone. They weren’t written to explain theology. They were written to be carried. I’m but a stranger here, Heaven is my ...read more

    To take somebody else’s off was considered absolutely degrading. If you had servants, one of the rules was you could never make a Jewish servant take your sandals off. That would be too degrading to make a fellow countryman do.

    Knowledge Is Power

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 15, 2020
     | 5,921 views

    scientia potentia est is a Latin saying meaning knowledge is power. While this can be true in an academic sense, the idea that knowledge is power is also true in a spiritual sense. Let's get into 2nd Peter and see what having spiritual knowledge enables us to do.

    KNOWLEDGE IS POWER 2nd Peter 1:1-3 When I was preparing the Sunday School lesson for last week, I had 2 Peter 1:3-4 as part of an answer to one of the questions. But as I looked over the whole passage I saw there was a lot there to tap into so I decided to develop it into a sermon series. ...read more

    No one loves the church the way Jesus does. In Ephesians 5, Paul tells us six ways Jesus showed his love for his bride--the church.

    Please open your Bibles to Ephesians 5, as we begin a new series called “I Love My Church.” You know, our lives are basically made up of two different kinds of places. There are places we have to go, and there are places we get to go. School. That’s a have to go place, isn’t it? Although, after ...read more
