    Last Hours Of Jesus' Life - Free From Passivity

    Contributed by Joanne Chan on May 18, 2018
     | 5,533 views

    In this sermon, we look at how the people mocked Jesus as he walked toward the hill of Golgotha, and contrast that with his encounter with Simon from Cyrene to see what it really means to carry the cross for Jesus.

    Central theme: Jesus denied himself and took the punishment for us with total dedication. We should take up the cross and follow Jesus, which means denying our old self (our comfort, your desires) and live for God because God is leading us to an even better place. Opening: Think of a place ...read more

    The Easter story begins with people talking. How important is word of mouth?

    "Returning from the tomb they told all this to the 12 and the rest".

    How Can I Be A Better Person?

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 4,920 views

    You must walk by faith and NOT talk by faith. You demonstrate faith not by what you say but by what you do. Faith shows up in your feet, not just in your feelings.

    Like you, I have made so many attempts at improving in areas of my life. I struggle with patience with certain people – someone put a hand over my family’s mouths at this point. If I know anything about anything, I imagine you have your struggles as well. The Bible offers you some weapons of how ...read more

    Faith And Good Deeds Series

    Contributed by Brady Boyd on Jun 1, 2020
     | 4,133 views

    James seems to be contradicting Paul, who taught that salvation was by faith and not by works. Martin Luther even called the book of James, a “Strawy Epistle.” James and Paul were not at odds, though.

    James 2 Faith and Good Deeds June 7, 2020 James 2:14-17, 26 NIV What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; ...read more

    What Movie Is Playing In Your Mind?

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 15, 2017
     | 8,827 views

    What we see in our minds is critical to our ability to walk in this life as Jesus did when He was on earth. But far too many of us allow "movies" to play that should be deleted.

    An article in a recent USA Today reported that in an online survey of 1000 adults, “three-quarters of Americans believe the country was better off in the ‘80s than now.” What is noteworthy about the poll is that some who answered in the affirmative weren’t even alive during the 1980s. Isn’t that ...read more
