A Call To Spiritual Unity

Contributed by Chris Beam on Oct 2, 2015

if we’re ever going to be able to stand together against the world, we have to first stand together as a church. In order to do that, we'll have to follow the example of Christ. So the message that God has given me this morning is A Call to Spiritual Unity.

A CALL TO SPIRITUAL UNITY Philippians 2:1-5 Have you ever had one of those moments when you realized you were on the wrong track, and you knew that it wasn’t going to be easy getting things straight?

"I Am Rewarded" Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Apr 10, 2014

As living tributes to Jesus our lives should always point to Him. All the credit goes to Him. And all the rewards of our inheritance with Christ can be ours. The ultimate reward of course being in the presence of God for eternity, and perhaps hearing, “Well done good and faithful servant.

“I Am Rewarded” (Eph 6:1-9) Here’s how our passage begins today, “Children obey your parents, honor your mother and father, this is the first commandment with a promise that it might go well with you and that you may live long in the land”. There’s one promise ...read more

Don't Stay In The Boat

Contributed by Russell Lackey on Aug 10, 2014

It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more

The Heart Of A Shepherd

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014

David reflected God’s own heart as He faithfully tended his sheep, as well as when he later was the shepherd king over Judah and Israel. We need a shepherd’s heart to help us care for the people God brings into our lives.

THE HEART OF A SHEPHERD INTRO: Have you ever thought about what David’s life must have been like as a shepherd? He did not show up for work at 9 am. and go home at 5. He actually lived out in the fields or hills with the sheep. My understanding is that they did not do this year round ...read more

When we were born again we had our sin debt wiped clean; canceled. Okay, now what? What will we do as a result? There is an improper response and a proper response to having our debt canceled. This week, we'll look at some improper responses.

CANCELED DEBT INTRODUCTION: There is a pro basketball player who started out strong but lately has fallen on hard times.

God Is Unequaled Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 6, 2017

'Un' is a prefix meaning “not”. Last week my sermon was about our unchanging God. Recently I saw a clip focusing on other 'un's that pertained to God and I thought it would be good to expound on some of them. This week we'll look at how God is unequaled.

Cry Out To Jesus Series

Contributed by Adam Weber on Mar 17, 2017

There will be times that we take our eyes off of Jesus, and we’ll get distracted by fear. But what matters isn’t whether we or not we take our eyes off Jesus, but what happens when we do. Do we stay there and just drown in the waves?

Bless You!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jan 29, 2017

In the opening of his Sermon on the Mount, Jesus talks about eight ways we can experience God's blessing, God's assurance that all will be well despite our feelings in the moment. Some blessings are for now; others for the life ahead. Jesus fulfills all!

Heaven’s Healing Hand

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 14, 2021

Divine healing is not all about becoming well, nor is it becoming what we were, rather it is becoming what God intends for us to be. Today's study looks at the healing of the lame man at the pool of Bethesda, and then how God goes about healing us today.

Rising Above The Turkeys Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on Mar 23, 2018

When people try to make changes, other people may hold them back. As Jacob tries to overcome his scheming nature, Laban drags him down. God intervenes, so that Jacob can rise above that old turkey, Laban, and his own nature as well.

RISING ABOVE THE TURKEYS—Genesis 30:25-31:55 “I could soar like an eagle, if I didn’t have to deal with so many turkeys.” My uncle raised turkeys. Turkeys are pretty stupid.
