Worship The Lord

Contributed by Wayne Solomon on Jan 12, 2021

The horrifying scenes of the chaotic events at the US Capitol. These disturbing scenes are reminiscent of the heart-breaking words of the prophet Isaiah “Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; … truth is fallen in the street, …” (Isaiah 59:14).

I wish to give credit to Dr. S. M Lockridge for the rhetorical and literary devices as well as some basic ideas and content that I employ in this message. My message is titled: “The New Person (Man or Woman) for the Future will worship the Lord.” Our Text today is Matthew 4:8-10: “8 Again, the ...read more

The Shortest Sermon Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The success of Jonah is hard to believe. Skeptical scholars just flatly deny it. The facts are amazing. Jonah was preaching a message he didn't want to, and so his heart really was not in it. He really hoped it would be a flop even though he obeyed the letter of God's command.

As we all know, the Bible is very brief on its account, considering all the centuries that it covers. It was not designed to tell us everything and to give an exhaustive and detailed record of God's working. It was designed to give us basic truths, principles, and examples of their operation ...read more

The Stubborn Evangelist Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

This short story is one where Jonah is in flight; it’s also one where God is in pursuit. Jonah’s life is really one of a boomerang for he ends up in the place that ran from in the beginning. For four chapters we’ll witness Jonah’s futile flight as well as God’s persistent pursuit.

Note: The entire book of Jonah is read before I preach. Today we launch a new four part series entitled Jonah: The Stubborn Evangelist. And it is coming at just the right time for our church (more on the timing in just a moment). Most only know it as an amusing story about a prophet and a “whale.” ...read more

One More Year

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 24, 2021

Great New Year's message. The parable of the fruitless fig tree being given one more year to produce fruit probably parallels many Christians, who's lives are fruitless. Will we respond to God's reprieve by changing how we're living?

The Man Who Was Not Born Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 24, 2021

How did man begin? Verse 7 makes it clear that he was not born, but was formed. He was molded as clay in the potter's hand. He was a product of what already existed.

An old preacher from the back woods was teaching a class of children about how God created man. He said, "In the beginning there was just nothin at all. One day God was fooling around with some mud, and before you knew it he had a man. He put that man up against a fence to dry there in the ...read more
