Contributed by James Lyons on Mar 6, 2023

Part I

1) A Committed Faith, Ruth 1:1-17 Today we start a new sermon series in the book of Ruth. Ruth is only mentioned one other time in the Bible – in Matthew 1:5, she’s listed as an ancestress of Jesus Christ. This is a beautiful love story that unfolds in a very unlikely setting. ...read more

The Denial Of Peter

Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Nov 27, 2020

Today we are going to look at a portion of the life of Peter, one of the disciples or followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will look at an event in his life that he would most surely include in his "hall of shame.”...

Most national sports leagues have a Hall of Fame where players with notable careers are inducted. There is even a Rock and Roll and Country Music Hall of Fame. However, most Christians have what is called a “Hall of Shame.” Inducted in the Christian’s Hall of Shame are those things you would ...read more

Jesus Gets Me : A Christmas Reminder

Contributed by Sean Dees on Dec 22, 2020

Christmas messages usually come with a lot of expectations. There are certain scriptures people expect to hear, certain narratives, mixed with a little pop culture references to help keep things relative.

(10) And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. (11) And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. (12) And he dreamed, and behold ...read more

Smyrna: Unto Death Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 17, 2021

Whatever the Christians were going through in Smyrna … whatever we are going through in our lives right now … Jesus not only knows what we are going through, He’s experienced it Himself.

Imagine having to hide to do what we’re doing right now because if we get caught, we would be arrested and tortured and made to renounce our faith publicly … or be executed. That was the situation and daily reality for the little church in the beautiful city of Smyrna. Smyrna is located 35 ...read more

What Do You Crave? What Does God Crave? (James 4:1-10) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 5, 2022

The verses make best sense through non-Western eyes, in a non-Western church. So talked about an African church plant. Also, on how/when to ask God for money.

Today's passage, James 4:1-10, was a real struggle for me at first. These verses, read as a whole, read as a response to a specific problem within the church, really don't make sense within the context of Western, white, evangelical Christianity. The way we tend to view the church, and ...read more

The Mercy Of God

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on May 10, 2022

Every morning, God's mercy says wake up, get up! Don’t lie down in bed depressed and refuse to get up, don't give up because nothing seems to be working or going on well in your life. Face the day, face any situation with the mercy of God.

Introduction Mercy is God’s Nature, God’s Character If someone were to ask you to describe your father, you would probably say things like he is tall or average height, dark or fair in complexion, likes jazz music, enjoys watching documentaries, has a good sense of humor or he is very strict, he ...read more

The Lord Will Perfect That Which Concerns Me

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Nov 19, 2021

The worst thing that can happen to anyone is for the mercy of God to depart from the person. But when the mercy of God is on you and with you, you can be confident, you can be assured, that God will certainly perfect ALL that concerns you.

Our text for today’s message is Psalm 138:8 which says ‘The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands’. This Psalm is a Psalm of David. When David said the Lord will perfect that which concerns him, he wasn’t praying to God. ...read more

Part III in a series on the book of Jonah

As we begin looking toward our mission conference next month, I want to share some thoughts with you from the book of Jonah – a prophet who ran from God to avoid carrying a divine warning to the people of Nineveh. Jonah undoubtedly feared the bloodthirsty Ninevites, but in Jonah 4:2 he ...read more

Jesus In The Boat Of Your Life

Contributed by Tesh Njokanma on Aug 16, 2022

This sermon highlights the benefits of having Jesus, the Captain of our Salvation sail with us as we go through different situations and seasons of life.

Jesus is always looking for a ‘boat’ – a heart, a life, a ministry, a business, a family, a church, a nation to enter into. When Jesus got into Peter’s boat, Peter didn’t shut or shove Jesus out of his boat, he allowed Him in. Allowing Jesus into his boat, gave Peter a life-changing encounter with ...read more
