     | 2,607 views

    At times, I wish more of the decisions of life were like the decision we made at salvation. A one-time thing. But it seems every day we are called on to make decisions, we just made the day before.

    1. Jesus was confronted with indecision His entire life. a. Not personally, but with and in His ministry b. He was continually giving people a choice c. John 6:60,61, 64-69 d. Matthew 10:32 2.

     | 8,863 views

    Why did Jesus' disciples desert Him in His hour of need?

    As Jesus hung on the cross, He saw the soldiers who had dismissed Him, the Romans who had tortured Him, and His own people who had rejected Him. But perhaps the response most troubling was that of His closest followers. With the exception of John, His disciples deserted Him. In His greatest hour of ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,866 views

    What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus? It starts with being a follower of Him. Then it gets better and better.

    In April we spent some time as a congregation talking about reaching out to the community, and really what we were talking about was a question. That question, which follows from the events right after the resurrection of Jesus, is rooted in a command, not a suggestion, a command...that Jesus ...read more

    How To Know If You Have Itching Ears

    Contributed by Jason Evans on Oct 4, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,937 views

    When your ear itches then you're going to listen to something, but it will not be sound doctrine. When we judge the word of God given by His preachers & teachers based on our belief rather than judging our belief by the scriptures they bring we're deaf.

    2 Timothy 4:1-4 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come ...read more

    Loss Is Gain Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 7, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 23,255 views

    While serving the Lord and walking with Him, we learn a great paradox - genuine gain often comes through loss. We must lose certain things in order to gain what the Lord desires for us.

    Loss is Gain Matthew 16: 24-26 1 Tim.6:6-7 – But godliness with contentment is great gain. [7] For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Many in our world today are fixated on material wealth and social status in this life. The majority of their energy is ...read more
