    Too many things can take us from our faith. God is Knocking but how long will we still be able to hear him.

    There is an old sermon illustration that goes with this morning’s scripture. A pastor decides to visit one of his parishioners on his way into the church one morning. He had wanted to visit for some time but schedule problems and life seemed to keep it from happening. But this morning as he ...read more

    With the Holy Spirit as our Senior Partner in the Holy Covenant ratified by the Precious Blood of Christ we have entered into an eternal partnership that daily loads us with benefits and anticipates an eternal bonus!

    We are all familiar with the well known benediction: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14 KJV According to Strong's the word communion is taken from the Greek: koinonia meaning: partnership, that ...read more

     | 3,644 views

    We hear the story of God's grace and repeat our favorite verses of His gift of salvation. How many times are you rendered speechless over the greatness of His gift?

    Movie about 10 years ago called RADIO. About a man who learned that life is not about winning and power but true wealth and joy comes from goodness, forgiveness and love.

    Your name has meaning! It reveals the depth of who you are...your character, nature and reputation. It is one thing you will carry to your grave! God's name is important as well! Using His name flippantly is sin. There is no greater name!

    Exodus 20:7 What’s in a Name? As I prepared this series, I realized how little we actually preach or teach on the Ten Commandments as if they are neither important nor relevant. They are both. It was very enlightening to me to preach through them. I learned a lot! I trust this series ...read more

    Why does God want to protect our reputation?

    “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.” Do you remember being taught that little saying after your feelings had been hurt by some bully at school? It does keep the hurt in perspective. Better to be called “four eyes” than actually get punched in ...read more

    Wise As Serpents

     | 11,102 views

    Jesus challenged us to be as wise as serpents. In this message we will learn from the attacks on the Jews in the book of Nehemiah, and use it as inspiration to aggressively go after the lost.

    Wise as Serpents In our messages so far in the book of Nehemiah we have been talking about the building of walls to keep the enemy out. Today we are going to switch places with the enemy and talk about how to take down walls or overcome them. I think we can learn some things from the enemy of our ...read more

    The Will Of God For The Lost Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 6, 2012
     | 7,062 views

    Should we say "lost" is it another one of those words that are archaic and out of date? No the parable ofthe lost sheep, coin, and son show that God's heart is in seeking, desiring to find the lost. God's will for the lost is clear. His will for the c

    Intro: God’s will for the lost is that none should perish that all should come to repentance. This is 2 Peter 3.9. God’s Word translation gives a wonderfully clear picture of God’s will for people that are separated from Him by sin. “The Lord isn't slow to do what he ...read more

    The Message To Pergamum Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,081 views

    Nothing corrupts a church any quicker than worldliness. Pergamum was a corrupted church. It is a picture of a church that is married to the world.

    Would you agree that worldliness corrupts churches? There are 4 things that cause a church to become worldly. 1. The church begins to participate in worldly functions. 2. The church allows worldly activities to take place in the church and even in the homes of its members. 3. The church begins to ...read more

    The Message To Thyatira: The Compromising Church Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 11, 2012
     | 6,685 views

    We live in a world of compromise where people seek their own interests at any cost. People, in a sense, sell their souls for the pleasures of the world.

    Just like last time when we said that worldliness will corrupt a church, tonight we will see that compromise will also destroy a church. We live in a world of compromise where people seek their own interests at any cost. People, in a sense, sell their souls for the pleasures of the world. ...read more

    Jesus invites His close followers to come away with Him to a quiet place, to fellowship with Him and the Father.

    It’s good to be back home with the household of God, my St. Thomas family. Last week, I attended the Forward in Faith Assembly in St. Louis, Missouri, along with Bishop and my mom. We had quite an adventure coming home. Our flight from St. Louis to Philadelphia was cancelled. Then our ...read more
