An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

God's Invitation Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 4, 2021

In Zech. 1:3 God extends an invitation to his people for something better! Entry to that is through the door of repentance. This message focuses on the STRUCTURE of the book with an outline and the INVITATION to a discouraged people.

Last week we began a study of the book of Zechariah. (1) We discovered the THEME of the book in Zechariah’s name. Zechariah means “Yahweh [covenant name of God] Remembers.” God remembers his covenant with his people, even when they forget it. He remembers his promises to them, even when they have ...read more

The Unstoppable Invitation Of Jesus Christ Series

Jesus pops up to speak in the middle of everyone on a major holiday with seemingly nowhere to go. Why would He risk His life? Why would He place Himself in such a dangerous position? Jesus risks everything to give us a gift that changes everything.

Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are many things in life we CANNOT count on. You CANNOT count on a politician’s promise. You CANNOT count on the weatherman’s forecast. And you cannot count on the pastor when he says, “I’ll be just one more minute.” ...read more
