    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,478 views

    This message was inspired by Dr. David Platt's book, "Radical". This message centers around the question of Pilate, "What will you have me do with Jesus?"

    The Crowd versus the Christ Matthew 27:22 * What words comes to your mind when you hear the term “Radical?” (I.E. drastic, thorough, sweeping, extreme, militant, fanatical, revolutionary, uncompromising) * What are you radical about? Every person in this room has something about which ...read more

    based on 6 ratings
     | 24,049 views

    Things change, things happen, and things are different when God shows up. The question is, have I experienced the things which take place when God shows up in life?

    When God Shows Up Acts 3:1-10 * If this afternoon you were sitting in your house, the doorbell rings, you answer the door, and when you open the door – you discover Jehovah God has come calling; what would you do?

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Nov 14, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,963 views

    To be confused about the church begins with confusion about the truth for vice-versa.

    Don’t be Confused – about the truth John 18:36-38 * The first time I heard the term was during the Bill Clinton presidency. Of course I knew it went on, but I had never heard the term (in political jargon) ‘spin.’ Does everyone know what ‘spin’ actually is? My personal definition is something ...read more

  • Knowing What God Wants Us To Do Series

    Contributed by Tim Smith on May 28, 2015
     | 10,165 views

    The message looks at the question, “How do I know what God wants me to do?” The key to answering that question is the Holy Spirit. The actual word that Jesus uses to describe the Spirit is Counselor.

    Knowing What God Wants Us to Do Acts 16: 1-10 One of the biggest questions of life is, “Why am I here?” There are many Scriptures which remind us that we are created with a purpose. Isaiah 49:1 says, “Before I was born, the Lord called me;
from my mother’s womb, he ...read more

  • Jesus Forgives A Paralysed Man Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,143 views

    We often get carried away by the performance, but is the message being proclaimed clearly. Are we speaking the gospel in every situation we find ourselves in? Are we offering forgiveness and mercy. Are we engaged in the main game or just the side show?

    Have you noticed how mobile phones are now an essential accessory for so many people? It seems like no matter where you are you’re likely to find yourself standing next to someone who’s having a conversation on their phone. And if you’re like me you probably find yourself ...read more

  • The Pouting Prophet Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 3, 2019
     | 8,196 views

    It is sad when someone gets to a place in life where the misery of others brings satisfaction. Rather than desiring repentance and restoration, a desire to see judgment can outweigh compassion.

    The Pouting Prophet Jonah 4: 1-11 We have discovered an interesting journey while studying the book of Jonah. The prophet’s life was filled with several twists and turns after hearing the call to go to Nineveh. Initially making the decision to flee from God, Jonah soon discovered such an endeavor ...read more

  • Achan-His Greed Cost Him His Life Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 23, 2021
     | 5,337 views

    Some of us remember the Battle of Jericho but not very many remember Achan, who took some things which were not intended for anyone at the time. What he took, he couldn't keep, and he paid with his life.

    Introduction: Israel had just won their first victory in Canaan. They had followed God’s commands to walk around the city, shout, and then God would do the rest. They next decided to attack Ai, a smaller city, but something awful happened. The sin of one man was the reason why. 1 Achan’s deceit ...read more

     | 3,647 views

    God's people were bound in captivity, but they were not forsaken. The Lord was working behind the scenes, orchestrating events that would benefit and prosper them. We see His sovereign hand at work in the selection of Esther as queen of Persia.

    The Search for a Queen (Part 1) Esther 2: 1-9 As we studied chapter one, we discovered a detailed picture of what life was like within the Persian Empire. King Ahasuerus was a man of great wealth and power. He sought to expand the kingdom, and nothing was off limits in his pursuit to do so, not ...read more

     | 17,724 views

    Lucy said, "On the great cruise ship of life, some people take their deck chairs to the bow. And some people take their deck chairs to the stern. Where do you put your deck chair, Charlie Brown?" Charlie replied "I can't even get my deck chair unfolded."

Today's assigned readings are: Acts 17:22-34; Psalm 66:7-18; 1 Peter 3:13-22 and John 14:15-21. In a "Peanuts" strip, ... Charlie Brown and Lucy were discussing ... theology. Lucy ...read more

  • Your Sin Will Find You Out

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 25, 2017
     | 10,482 views

    Hosea is an interesting book. Through him, God spoke to Israel about their need for repentance. They had forsaken God and judgment was looming. Even in judgment, God offered mercy. We serve a gracious and merciful Lord.

    Your Sin will Find you Out Hosea 1: 1-11 Today I want to begin a series of messages from the book of Hosea. Some present today may be unfamiliar with this book, written by the prophet Hosea. Unfortunately, it is a book that is often overlooked and largely ignored by many Bible teachers and ...read more

    Stewardship is about more than money. A faithful steward not only stewards his/her resources, but his/her connection to the body of Christ. This message touches on offering ourselves to the body of Christ through our presence in worship.

    We continue our Generosity: Possible series this morning discovering what it means to be generous with our presence. When we became a Christian, and one who chose to walk the faith journey as United Methodist, not only did we commit to support the body of Christ with our prayers and witness, but ...read more

  • Postmodernism & The Stairway To Nowhere

    Contributed by Bill Bowdle on Jul 6, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,025 views

    Sermon compares postmodern "Stairway to Nowhere" to Jacob's Stairway to Heaven in Genesis which climbs to God. Postmodernism climbs nowhere toward relativism w/o universal truth. Christianity climbs to God, the author and anchor of TRUTH.

    "POSTMODERNISM: & THE STAIRWAY TO NOWHERE" REV. BILL BOWDLE 01/05/97 Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Gen 28:10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.

    Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Nov 7, 2017
     | 6,865 views

    What we do and how we act in a crisis tells a lot about us. It is not if we will go through crisis, it is when we go through a crisis.

    When Crisis hits our lives Lamentations 3 selective verses Prayer- Introduction- Wednesday was All Saints day. I do not preach the church calendar often because it dictates almost every week what should be preached. All Saints day is unique because it comes right after Halloween. I think it ...read more
