Christian Walk

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Leslie Verghese on Sep 6, 2018

Walk in Unity

As we enter Chapter 4 of Ephesians, it gives us a beautiful example of how Paul admonishes a Christian to WALK. (1) Unity (4:1-16). (2) Purity (4:17-5:17). (3) Harmony (5:18-6:9). (4) Victory. (6-e t) I wonder if we have under-emphasized the importance of the Christian walk. The first three ...read more

Answering The Skeptics Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Mar 5, 2016

This sermon outlines five ways in which Christians can present the Gospel message to unbelievers in a God-fearing manner.

ANSWERING THE SKEPTICS So far we have answered some really difficult questions that are often posed by non-believers. First, how can God be just when he allows the innocent to suffer and second, is our faith blind. Today we are going to look at the third difficult question: Question #3: How ...read more

God Is Unselfish Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 20, 2017

William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." Think about it; if everyone just looked out for #1 then no one would be satisfied; including #1. I can gain a lot by being selfish...except what's truly important.

GOD IS UNSELFISH William Gladstone said, "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race." If you think about that there's much truth in it.

"Blow On Us, O Holy Spirit!”

Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 2, 2019

We're glad to hear about the Holy Spirit moving. But what if the Holy Spirit is not blowing in the U.S.A? Are we without any resources? NO! God allowed Ezekiel to "Prophesy to the Wind/Spirit." If he can initiate a Spirit-move, so can we!

Sometimes things that hurt are those things that cause the most good in our lives.

Last week we started our new series on baking bread with the harvest.

Don't Lie Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Sep 26, 2013

Do we hate what God hates, do we love what God loves, do we want what God wants? That’s the question today, please take time to consider it in your own heart.

One of the great things about the early community of believers is the open practice of love and unity. ALL the believers were united in heart and mind. What that means is that they all had the same agenda. They weren’t clones, but they all wanted the same things and thought the same way about ...read more

Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 7, 2020

The first chapter of Ephesians is dedicated to telling the Christians there how pretty they are to God. Why would Paul spend all that ink and paper on this topic? And what can that mean to us?

I read once about a nursing home worker who would go from room to room taking care of the needs of the residents. On day she was in the room of one of the residents when the woman looked up at her and said “My but you’re pretty!” The attendant blushed. She was “plump” and “overweight and wasn’t ...read more

The Rumor Weed

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 4, 2022

Rumors and gossip are things we should avoid at all cost, because the information we spread can be destructive to those individuals when shared with others. Our God is not in the business of tearing down lives, but restoring them.

I’ve entitled our message for this morning “The Rumor Weed,” based on a Veggie Tale’s song. On one episode of Veggie Tales, Junior Asparagus and Laura Carrot learned just how easily rumors can get started when they accidentally launched a whopper of a tale about Larry-Boy’s butler, Alfred, being a ...read more
