We Believe In The Trinity Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

The Bible’s teaching on the subject of the Trinity is rarely addressed in sermons yet it hangs around in the background of so much a church does and talks about.

Today, we continue a series of messages entitled Creed: 9 Essentials to the Christian Faith Why This Series? The reason for this series is that beliefs matter. Beliefs fundamentally alter the shape of our lives. This series, Creed, is designed to answer those who wonder what really lies at the ...read more

Diminshing Returns: When The Secondary Becomes Primary Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

Because of their love for God, they choose to leave the comforts they had preferred for the rigors of rebuilding their home land. They were zealous for the house of God and they had left many of their friends, family members, and comfortable lives behind.

Throughout the month of October, our church celebrates our 125-year heritage. And as we celebrate all that God has done for us, we know that God is continuing to do a great work even now. This past week a young man emailed me the following message: “Scott, I just felt the need to let you know ...read more

Heroes Of The Bible: Jacob Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Feb 17, 2022

The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Jacob. (Aliterated Outline, PowerPoint)

Obedience, Not Sacrifice

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

Disobedience is an extremely costly sin. God desires our obedience over our sacrifice. If we are trying to worship and we have been disobedient to the Lord, then He won’t accept our worship until we make our life right with Him.

This morning we’re going to discuss the sin of disobedience to God’s commands. Disobedience is an extremely costly sin; for we know that when the Israelites were on their exodus from Egypt that they refused to follow God’s plan for taking the Promised Land, and the consequence was spending forty ...read more

Our Anchor Of Hope

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

Because of Jesus, we are able to go behind the veil to experience the grace of the Father. Jesus is our High Priest who goes before us, pulling us ahead like an anchor on a motor launch into the safety of the bay of heaven.

Today’s message is entitled “Our Anchor of Hope,” and I would like to open with an illustration. A naval officer from World War II once described how the battleships he was on survived terrible hurricanes in Chesapeake Bay. When storms or turbulent seas threatened a ship that was docked in ...read more

Tale Of Two Fathers (Father’s Day)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 18, 2022

Abraham and Lot were both saved men, but Lot was like many of the fathers today. The way Lot lived his life, it is difficult to believe he was saved.

Abram had been accompanied by Lot in all his wanderings. But a separation must take place between them. Abram and his seed were to be kept distinct from all other races, as from him the promised Messiah was to spring. This also was brought about by what seemed a series of natural circumstances, ...read more

Sunday Morning Religion

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 19, 2022

You can ride by most churches and they have a church sign outside telling the public what time their church services start.

But I have a problem with some churches posting on their church signs they worship God between 11 to 12 . According to the Word of God this is somewhat misleading! HOW IS IT MISLEADING? It implies we worship the Lord one hour a week and this is not what the Bible teaches we christians should be ...read more

The Mouth And The Heart

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 22, 2022

If God were to ask, “Why should I let you into heaven?” what would your answer be? This is at least one place in scripture that you can go for an answer. There are others that are just as important. But today lets examine what is involved with the mouth and the heart.
