You Are Not Alone In You Temptation Series

Contributed by Chad Higgins on Aug 29, 2024

When Jesus faced His temptation in the Wilderness He teaches us how we can face our temptations.

Today we are going to begin to look at the Temptation of Jesus Christ. In Oscar Wilde's play “Lady Windemere's Fan” Lord Darlington says “I can resist anything but temptation”. It is said rather flippantly in the play, but for us it is a good starting point. Should we try to resist ...read more

Better Banking Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 30, 2024

There’s the “bank of earth" and there’s the bank of heaven, and the one in heaven gives a far better rate of interest. But what's wrong with "banking" my wealth on earth?

A man told of buying his 7-year-old daughter a game called “The Game of Life”. It was the SpongeBob SquarePants version of The Game of Life and his daughter thought it was very cool.

Droughts

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Sep 9, 2024

Last week I asked “Am I the fear-filled Spirit void Peter denying Christ, or the Holy Spirit filled Peter proclaiming the gospel of Jesus”?

For a large part of 2010 and 2011 our area experienced a major drought. In fact, it was the most severe in about 50 years. Rainfall was well below the seasonal average for both years, with long stretches of 90+ degree days and almost that high for the lows. There was a record stretch of triple ...read more

His Steadfast Love Endures Forever Series

Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Aug 23, 2024

Psalm 118:1-29 gives us several practical instructions about praising God for his steadfast love.

Introduction What was Martin Luther’s favorite psalm? You may say, as I thought, that it was Psalm 46. After all, Martin Luther wrote the great hymn “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God,” based on Psalm 46. But, if you said that Psalm 46 was Martin Luther’s favorite psalm, you and I would be ...read more

Sermon # 25 - When Will God Answer Our Prayers? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 4, 2023

Why are some of our prayers not answered? What can we learn from the prayer of Jabez? May we learn to pray in a way that honors God so that we can receive answers to our fervent prayers.

We read in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain. Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, ...read more

Perspective Makes All The Differences

Contributed by Hylton Davidson on Aug 13, 2025

It is amazing how 2 people or 2 groups of people can look at the same thing but see something completely different. Just because we look at the same thing doesn’t mean we see the same thing.

30. Romans Chapter 7 Verses 7-14 - Messages In Romans – Gentiles Are Not Part Of Chapter 7 – Not The Battle Of The Two Natures - Message 30 Part 2 Of 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 15, 2025

The Law is examined here – the Law is holy and it is spiritual. Romans 7 is about a man under the Law trying to meet the standards of the Law but is defeated by his own sinfulness. Our verses bring this out. It has nothing to do with the Christian and his new nature fighting the old nature.

What Are You Eating?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 1, 2025

When we take Communion we need to be guided by scripture. There are biblical examples that show both good and bad ways to partake. I Corinthians 11:17-22 gives an example of the wrong way and wrong attitudes to partake in communion.

Alba 8-31-2025 WHAT ARE YOU EATING? I Corinthians 11:17-22 We are working through I Corinthians. The church in Corinth had a lot of problems. Thankfully, we don't have most of their problems, but it will be good for us to learn from them so that we don't repeat their troubles. Curry ...read more

A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025

Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more

One Spirit, One Body, Many Gifts

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 21, 2025

Even though there are many gifts, there is still only one Spirit, one body and one Lord. There is only one purpose for all these gifts that the believers have. They are diverse, but their goal is singular – the common good of the church.

Faith In Action

Contributed by Patty Groot on Oct 6, 2025

True faith isn’t about how much we have, but about trusting God enough to live it out through humble obedience, steady service, and daily forgiveness.

Our Scripture today comes from Luke. It’s a fascinating passage, one that at first seems like two unrelated teachings pressed together, but when we look closer, we discover a thread that ties them beautifully. The disciples come to Jesus and say, “Increase our faith!” (v. 5). That’s the kind of ...read more
