    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 17, 2016
     | 5,213 views

    According to one psychologist, guilt is the most important and difficult problem in life today. Although guilt is a problem in some ways in another sense it’s actually a blessing. Let’s take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to guilt.

    GUILT-THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY INTRODUCTION: Last week I preached on the importance of having the peace of Christ. One of the things that can easily disrupt our peace is guilt. According to one psychologist, guilt is the most important and difficult problem in life today. Although guilt is a ...read more

    What We Can And Should Do After Christmas

    Contributed by Guy Glass on Dec 30, 2012
     | 4,578 views

    WE ARE ALWAYS PRESENTED WITH CHOICES IN OUR LIVES. WHAT SHOULD WE DO ABOUT THIS OR THAT? WHAT CAN WE DO NOW THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED? EVERY SITUATION INEVITABLY BRINGS CHOICES WITH IT. THE DIFFICULT PART IS DECIDING WHAT THE BEST CHOICE IS. AND A CLOSE

    WHAT WE CAN AND SHOULD DO AFTER CHRISTMAS Luke 2:15-22 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about." 16  So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the ...read more

    Sermon: Preserving The Best Of Both Worlds Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jan 17, 2023
     | 2,960 views

    Jesus in this discourse helps us to realize the importance preserving the best of both worlds and the danger of putting new wine in old wineskins. New wineskins are flexible and easy to stretch, while old wineskins are difficult to stretch. How can we preserve the best of both worlds?

    Sermon: Preserving the Best of Both Worlds Scripture: Matt 9:10-17 “As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man named Matthew (Levi) sitting in the tax collector’s booth; and He said to him, “Follow Me [as My disciple, accepting Me as your Master and Teacher and walking the same path of life that I ...read more

    The Embarrassing Whine Of The Ungrateful Believer Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on May 22, 2023
     | 2,314 views

    Jacob makes a striking (and embarrassing) statement in his audience with Pharaoh: "my years have been few and difficult." Amid all the good things God has given him, what can we learn from his lack of gratitude?

    - Picture the scene. - Joseph has been an incredible, dynamic presence in Egypt, saving the country and the region from this lengthy famine. His brothers came down and, after a long drama, there was a dramatic reunion and forgiveness. They were sent home to bring the whole family to Egypt to live ...read more

    Can A Genuine Believer Lose Their Salvation?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023
     | 1,679 views

    This is the concept of remaining in faith. Abiding in Christ. We must hold fast to our faith, not drifting away, while also knowing that Christ holds us firm, and we do not need to fear the Father losing his hold on us. This sacred balance is a difficult one.

    Once an unbeliever has given their life to Christ, been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, reborn of Christ, and placed into the kingdom of God, can such a person fall away, and lose their salvation? This question is so incredibly important. It goes to the very core of the gospel: How does it ...read more

    Preaching From Philippians # 12

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 28, 2021
     | 1,622 views

    All the nations on earth desire to have peace, but as you know, all nations do not have peace. There is a reason for that. For example, many Americans discovered during the Iraq war that peace comes at a high price. This is difficult for many Americans to comprehend because of two reasons:

    (1) As Americans, we are used to watching Clint Eastwood ride into town on a horse, and in one hour clean up the meanest town in the west. We wonder why the United States military can’t do the same in one hour! (2) Americans see other nations are having wars on their streets, but we have never ...read more

    Real Christianity: Clothing, Buildings, Money, & Extravagance

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021
     | 1,812 views

    There is a lot of stuff out there claiming to be Christian, when it's not really Christian. It's a difficult situation for any real Christ follower. On one side you have a culture and society growing progressively more hostile toward Christian values.

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 30, 2023
     | 1,946 views

    The reasons for grief are many, such as the loss of a loved one, the loss of health, or the letting go of a long-held dream. Dealing with a significant loss can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life. Jesus sees God’s dream for Jerusalem slipping away.

    Sermon: What Jesus’ Grief over Jerusalem Reveals Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones God’s messengers! How often I have wanted to gather your children together as a hen protects her chicks beneath her wings, but you wouldn’t let me. 38 And now, look, ...read more

    This message is about getting reigniting for God, filled and overflowing with faith, hope, and love. Everyone is experiencing difficult times that sometimes taken our breath away. And what we need is that divine spark from God to get ourselves reignited to move forward in faith and in hope.

    Reigniting Your Life Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HArX_wEUoFs In last week’s message we looked at our need to have our lives reset back to God’s original design or setting, and then we looked at how that reset happens.

     | 5,282 views

    We’ve all had times when we’ve wondered if anyone really cares. The world can sometimes be a lonely, scary place. Difficult life situations can make a person feel rejected, isolated, and abandoned. It seems like nobody really cares.

    "Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7 DOES ANYONE CARE? We’ve all had times when we’ve wondered if anyone really cares.

     | 927 views

    As we navigate through difficult seasons, let us remember that faith is not the absence of doubt but the perseverance through it. Trust in God's goodness, rely on your community, and keep your eyes on His miracles, for in every challenge lies the opportunity for profound growth.

    >> Opening Bible Reading Luke 7:18-23 18 John's disciples told him about all these things.

    Don't Give Up

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Mar 25, 2025
     | 526 views

    A lesson from Luke 9:37-43a is to never give up doing something for God. Like the disciples we may need for training or education to accomplish the task. Evangelism is one of the most difficult things to do. However, with training it is not that bad. Afterall, it is for God

Dr. Michael H Koplitz Luke 9:37 On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him. 38 And a man from the crowd shouted, saying, “Teacher, I beg You to look at my son, because he is my only son, 39 and a spirit seizes him and ...read more

    Change is a difficult thing because it is so uncomfortable. Question: Do you want to change? Are you ready to break that cycle of day-to-day life and receive God’s change? I am talking to somebody who’s tired of going around and around the same old problem. Then be the Cycle Breaker...

    We get victory we fall and we sin, again and again and again. Sometimes are down more than up, and we wonder. This sanctification thing is difficult I am struggling so much; Did I go too far. Am I forever stuck below this ceiling. Can I still be forgiven

    Matthew 12:31-12:33 Have you ever wondered, ‘What is the unpardonable sin?’ Some believe it is when you’ve sinned more than God is able to forgive you. So I wondered --- what is the unpardonable sin really? You know, a lot of people have tried to guess what this sin might be, and they’ve ...read more
