    Resurrection Of Lazarus Series

     | 36,026 views

    Can Jesus raise the dead? The big question in any religion concerns death. Death is a great mystery. And life is a great mystery, but life is practically meaningless if there is no resurrection of the dead.

    Perea to Bethany Lesson: Resurrection of Lazarus John 11:1-44 Introduction Jesus’ public ministry is over and now He is concentrating on His private ministry. He centers on individuals and He is no longer reaching out to the nation of Israel. The raising of Lazarus from the dead occurred ...read more

    True healing in your relationships begin when, in reliance upon God, you recognize your own sin with a remorse that leads to full repentance.

    Sometime ago, an ad appeared in a Kansas newspaper, which read: “We will oil your sewing machine and adjust the tension in your home for only $1. (Leadership, Fall 1986, p.46). Wouldn’t that be nice, getting a quick fix for the tension in our homes or in any of our relationships? As we all know, ...read more

    The Right Father Enhances Our Walk With Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 4, 2021
     | 1,780 views

    Our culture attempt to redefine our God-given morality code to make it feel comfortable living while outside that code for godly living. John reminds us that Jesus takes away, forgives, our sin and enables us to experienced changed lives.

    In 1969, the year I graduated from high school, 500,000 young people made a trip to Sullivan County and set up camp in Max Yasgur’s pasture. The Woodstock Music and Art Festival was billed as “three days of peace and music.” True believers see it as an era devoted to human advancement. Cynics ...read more

    Being Independent Together

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 1, 2021
     | 6,565 views

    Being independent of this world while being dependent upon God is a Christian's life's goal? This idea is similar to the thoughts which led to the thirteen U.S. colonies declaring their independence from Britain.

    Being Independent Together Scripture: John 8:36; Exodus 1:11a; 3:7-8; Romans 12:2 “If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36) Today, in the United States, we are celebrating the Fourth of July holiday.

    Perspectives For The New Year (And For Every Year)

     | 2,003 views

    It is critical to have a godly view of time and life in order to live a life pleasing to God. As the new year begins, it is a good time to renew and refocus our minds in the Lord.

    A. Happy New Year!! Welcome to 20-23! B. Let’s start with a little New Year’s humor: 1. What do cows say on Jan. 1? "Happy Moo Year!" 2. What was Dr. Frankenstein’s new year’s resolution? To make new friends. 3. What new year’s resolution should a basketball player never make? To ...read more

    2 Corinthians Series: That Ain't Jesus Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Oct 7, 2025
     | 270 views

    The Apostle Paul uses irony to engage the Corinthians’ attention, sarcasm to sting their heart and emotions, and satire to convince the Corinthians that false teachers have been misleading them and they are believing so-called truth about the Gospel that is not true at all.

    The Great Omission Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 13, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 753 views

    To keep the Great Commission from becoming the Great Omission, we must live on mission by glorifying God and making disciples of Jesus in our families, among our neighbors, and among the nations.

    The Great Omission Luke 24:44-49 Rev. Brian Bill October 11-12, 2025 A young boy asked his mother and grandmother to play with him in his new sandbox in the front yard. He gave each of them a shovel and pail, and they eagerly started scooping sand. Before long, they became engrossed in their ...read more

    The Shepherd And You: Life In The Valley PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 136 views

    God’s presence with us in life’s darkest valleys brings comfort, courage, and guidance, assuring us we are never alone, no matter the circumstance.

    Some valleys look like hospital rooms with the blinds half-open and the clock moving too slowly. Some valleys sound like the phone call no one wants or the silence after the door shuts. Some valleys feel like midnight at noon—shadows stretching across the heart, courage feeling thin, hope feeling ...read more

    Happy New Day

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 27, 2025
     | 283 views

    This New Year message reframes faith from managing the future to walking faithfully through today, trusting God’s presence rather than promises or outcomes.

    This is a New Year sermon. For some of you, that sentence alone is enough to make you settle back into your seat and quietly decide, "I’ll check out for now and will check back in about half an hour." I don’t say that sarcastically. I say it honestly. Because New Year’s sermons have ...read more

    Songs For The Road: Music For Tired Feet

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025
     | 201 views

    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

    If I Could Put Time In A Bottle

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 82 views

    Time is not random or meaningless; it unfolds under God’s sovereign care. Ecclesiastes 3 reminds us that life is lived in seasons, eternity is placed in the human heart, and meaning is found not in controlling time but in reverently offering it to God. What is given to Him is never wasted.

    There are moments in life when time feels generous. Days seem long. Weeks stretch out ahead of us. The future feels wide and open, almost indulgent. And then there are other moments when time suddenly feels thin — compressed, hurried, and slippery. One season we are wondering how to fill the hours, ...read more

    When You Feel Abandoned

    Contributed by David Dunn on Jan 5, 2026
     | 86 views

    Psalm 22 reveals that honest lament is not faithlessness but faithful endurance, culminating in Christ’s cry from the cross. Because Jesus entered abandonment for us, silence is never absence, and suffering is never the end of the story.

    Have you ever felt that God has left you? Not in a theoretical sense. Not the kind of question that shows up in a classroom discussion or a late-night debate about faith and reason. I mean something much more personal than that—something that settles into your chest and refuses to leave. Have you ...read more
