Completing The Race! Series

Contributed by James Bohrer on Jan 14, 2009

The Sermon On The Mount (Part 16) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 13, 2020

For many people, their priority in life is material prosperity. When you hear the phrase, 'well off' or, 'well to do', it refers to someone who is wealthy. As we'll see today, those who have stored up treasures in heaven will truly be, 'well off' and 'well-to-do'.

Both A Slave And Free

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 5, 2025

We all want freedom, but in reality, we all serve a master. We are either God's servants or slaves to our sin. Join us this morning as we dig into Romans 6, and Paul's call to serve the Lord.

Both a Slave and Free GOOD MORNING. Words can be a problem. They don’t always convey exactly what you are thinking, and that’s one reason Jesus uses parables to teach concepts and ideas rather than just saying words. Not only does it stick better, but it conveys feeling that goes beyond the words ...read more
