    Being In The Family Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 24, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 15,644 views

    Jesus asked a perplexing question that continues to cause confusion and uncertainty - who is my family? His focus was not to appease His brothers, but to please His Father. Our relationship with Christ, and devotion to Him, must exceed all else.

    Being in the Family Mark 3: 31-35 Our text today reveals an encounter that was difficult for many to accept. Very likely the intentions of our Lord were misunderstood and misrepresented. Even today, as we consider these verses, this passage remains difficult for many to comprehend and accept. As ...read more

We are talking in this series on success in life. As we begin, we need to think about how success in life is defined. Some are of the opinion ...read more

    Parable Of The Perfect Father

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 18, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 23,915 views

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

     | 16,505 views

    Each child is to be viewed as a heritage, that is, as a gift; they are to be viewed as a reward, that is, as a blessing; they are to be viewed as an arrow in our hands, that is, as something needing direction. How blessed we are that God has entrusted so many to our care.

    Your Child: A Blessing from the Lord, Not a Burden Study Text: Psalm 127:3-5 Introduction: - Children are precious gift from above, they are one of life's wonderful and highly desired blessings. - How wonderful children and teens are. They fill our lives with gladness and our ...read more

    05 - James 2:14-26 Series

    Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 25, 2021
     | 2,853 views

    This is 5th of 11 Studies in the Book of James. In this study we'll be looking at the fact that faith that is not followed up with a life of love and obedience is no faith at all. Connections are made with the faith of Abraham and that of Rahab as well.

    James 2:14-17 “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things ...read more

    The plan of Salvation was complete. The battles have been fierce, the war had been long, and Satan would suffer his final defeat. It is finished was the victory cry of Jesus.

    John 19:28 “After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. 29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. 30 When Jesus therefore had ...read more

     | 8,005 views

    We are faced with two options. The first is to see how bad things really are and to focus on them. And we have every right to focus on them because things are indeed bad. Or the second option is to decide even though things are bad, I chose to rejoice and trust in my Lord.

    Introduction: I cannot recall in my 27 years as Pastor a sermon that I preached from the Book of Lamentations until today. Today will be my first. But I believe that are present condition of the world makes Lamentations a good book to preach today as we begin our new series “Even Though”. I have ...read more

    Because of my mother's love for me, I made it

    As we honor our mothers it’s respectable for us to think about how much they really do for us. And let me just throw this in from the start, being a mother is not an easy task. It is said that when a child has reaches the age of 18, a mother has put in about 18,000 hours of child-generated work, so ...read more

    Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 29, 2021
     | 8,824 views

    This is the first Sunday after the Pentecost. Trinity Sunday is the beginning of the Year. So this sermon is a journey. It is also the church’s birth story and as some have said the mini Bible sermon.

    Main text: Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost to honor the Holy Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although the word “trinity” does not appear in Scripture, it is taught in Matthew 28:18-20 and 2 Corinthians 13:14 (and many other biblical passages). The concept of the trinity ...read more
