Only One Came Back To Say Thanks

Contributed by Jeremiah Menyongai on Mar 16, 2016

Spiritual Amnesia (Alzheimer, dementia) is a sickness that makes us forget to say “thanks” to God: We Forget God’s Past Mercies; We Allow Present Troubles To Block Out God’s Love; We Forget The Promises Made; Forget Our Calling As Ambassadors, etc.

“ONLY ONE CAME BACK TO SAY THANKS” LUKE 17:11-19 11 And it came to pass, as Jesus went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off: 13 And they lifted up ...read more

Hope Is Alive

Contributed by Jarrod Jones on Apr 6, 2016

Hope is so much more than crossed fingers and waiting for the unknown to happen or not happen. Hope in the resurrected Jesus means that although your world is shaken, your soul will not be. Pastor Jarrod shares this hope in today’s message.

In an ESPN interview last month, a reporter shared what NBA super-star, Steph Curry, said regarding his “killer instinct” in playing opposing teams. He said, “I want to make them lose all hope.” That’s a zinger. And Curry does an exceptional job doing that. Ponder ...read more

The Legacy Of Jabez

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Feb 18, 2022

It is interesting to listen to people pray. Each person has his own unique way of expressing himself to God.

Illus: For example, a man in Columbia, South Carolina, was led to the Lord late in life. He was a slow talking southerner. When he prayed publicly, everyone enjoyed listening to him because of his slow southern drawl, and because he was sincere. When he prayed it sounded like he was having a ...read more

Joseph Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 20, 2022

Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel, lived in the land of Canaan with ten half-brothers, one full brother, and at least one half-sister. He was Rachel's firstborn and Jacob's eleventh son. Of all the sons, Joseph was preferred by his father, who gave him a "long coat of many colors."

Joseph is an important figure in the Bible's Book of Genesis. He was the first of the two sons of Jacob and Rachel (Jacob's twelfth child and eleventh son). He is the favorite son of the patriarch Jacob, and his jealous brothers sell him into slavery in Egypt, where he eventually ends up ...read more

A Blessing To Tithe

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 27, 2022

Many of us are afraid to tithe, because we feel that we have too many financial obligations to spare anything. But, did you know that the Bible teaches that both our financial troubles and our daily trials will lessen or cease if we tithe?

Money can be a very frustrating thing, because you just never seem to have enough of it. Right? Comedian Bob Phillips says, “Money used to talk – then it whispered. Now it just sneaks off . . . [and] today a dollar saved is a quarter earned . . . [and] the economy is [just] terrible [right now]. ...read more

31) Why Share The Gospel! Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

True believers have always been called to share the Gospel - but why? Today we look at four reasons through the Scriptures: 1) Jesus Did It; 2) The Disciples Did It; 3) Paul Did It; and 4) We Are Told To Do It.

From The Pit To The Palace

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Mar 2, 2022

Joseph was thrown into a pit on two separate occasions. However, as a result of his faithfulness during those circumstances, he was delivered from the pain and drudgery of his pit experiences to go on and live in a palace!

He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my steps. - King David(1) Do you ever feel like you’re in a deep, dark pit with no way out? Maybe God spoke to you about doing a particular task or ministry and you’ve been faithful to ...read more

Defining Dad

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 22, 2020

For Mother's day I listed some traits that defined Mom. Now it's Dad's turn. On Mother's Day I said although these traits define Mom, Dad can have them too. Likewise, the ones I'll be highlighting for Dad can be seen in Moms too, they're just more characteristic of Dads.

DEFINING DAD For the Mother's day sermon I listed some characteristics that defined Mom. Now it's Dad's turn. I mentioned in my Mother's Day sermon that although these characteristics define Mom, that doesn't mean that Dad doesn't have those characteristics too, they're ...read more

You Shall Not Take The Name Of The Lord In Vain Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 23, 2022

There are serious consequences for breaking the third commandment and taking God’s name in vain. Why are we held guilty if we take His name in vain? What acts do we commit that amount to taking His name in vain?

Exodus 20:1–2 says, “And God spoke all these words, saying:” We need to take note that what follows is the beginning of the Ten Commandments spoken by the voice of the Lord. This is His preamble to the constitution of grace. “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of ...read more

This Changes Everything: The Second Advent Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Nov 27, 2022

We often think of the Christmas story being the whole story, or the beginning of the Jesus story that ends with his resurrection, but in reality it goes much further than that

“I love it when a plan comes together.” Those of you who are older than dirt probably remember this phrase being used by Hannibal Smith in the A-Team. It was first used in the pilot of the show on January 23, 1983. That will be forty years ago in two months. Forty years before that Canada was in ...read more

What Is Christmas?

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Dec 5, 2022

With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. The Christmas story is the story of the virgin birth. It is a story of spiritual warfare. It is the story of Salvation.

With the Christmas season upon us, we as the Church need to spread the word that Christmas is the time of year where we celebrate the birth of the Messiah. Many people in the world today argue that Jesus wasn't really born on December 25th and that we are foolish to say that He was. First of ...read more
