    Drawing Nearer To God

    Contributed by Michael Deutsch on Dec 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,236 views

    A new year's message to get us looking at God first.

    New Year Message January 2, 2022 This is really a great Sunday! When we think about the new year, there’s always the hope that the new year will be better than the prior year. If 2021 wasn’t the best year, then there’s the hope, maybe an expectation that 2022 will be better. And if 2021 was the ...read more

    Holy Insomnia

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 4, 2023
     | 774 views

    God wants our major priority to be his kind of people even when he’s not looking.

    This is a hard week for many of us here. I think all of you must have read of the murder-suicide that took place in our town just a week ago. By itself, it is one of the most tragic incidents to occur among our midst in quite a long time - certainly since I arrived. Two young men in their prime, ...read more

    See Jesus’ Response To Unbelief!

     | 1,807 views

    What is your favorite picture of Jesus? Most artists have portrayed Jesus as kind and gentle, or as God’s suffering servant. In the Gospel Lesson for today we have an example of a time when Jesus’ face most certainly didn’t look the way artists most often picture him.

    What is your favorite picture of Jesus? If you were to close your eyes and bring to mind your best loved drawing or painting of Jesus, which one would it be? Perhaps you would recall one the many images showing Jesus as the Good Shepherd. That has been a favorite among Christians for ...read more

    Justice But Not For Us

    Contributed by Kenneth R. Jenkins on Aug 7, 2023
     | 1,956 views

    Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge teaches persistence, faith, and prayer, with a promise of God’s ultimate justice.

    A) Always Pray and Don’t Give Up (18:1) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (18:1) Verse 1 starts with “Then.” Notice that this teaching on prayer follows directly on Jesus’ teaching on the coming of the Son of Man. Indeed, verse ...read more

    We gather in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in the presence of our Heavenly Father and Almighty God, our Creator, the One who ignites dreams and unveils visions.

    As we continue our series on visionary view, I want to speak about Divine Vision: Walking with Purpose. In our lives, our focus must be a perspective that aligns our hearts with God's divine purpose. There are five areas I am going to preach about: The Divine Call to Vision Directing Our ...read more

    The Christmas Spirit

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 5, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,587 views

    This Sunday we'll be looking into the real Spirit of Christmas and how God wants to overshadow us with Him to meet our greatest need, to solve our most insolvable problem, and to bring forth a victory in our lives that in our own strength we’ve been unable to achieve.

    The Christmas Spirit Around Christmas time, there are a rash of Christmas special, but nothing replaces, for me, are the classics like “Miracle on 34th Street,” or “It’s A Wonderful Life.” But the one most people are familiar with is from the Novel by Charles Dickens entitled “A Christmas ...read more

    A Race Run Well Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 23, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,776 views

    We are all running towards a goal and our reward is the crown of righteousness that the Lord has promised to all those who run and finish well. However, in order to attain this imperishable crown, we need to exercise self-control in every area of our life.

    A race run well The Apostle Paul writing to the Church in Corinth admonishes them this way. He says to them in 1 Corinthians 9:24 -25,“Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all ...read more

    Godly Ambition Series

    Contributed by Bob Myers on Sep 8, 2020
     | 5,481 views

    Ambition is a common human motivation. We see it played out in the lives of countless men and women throughout history. In our text today, we observe two kinds of burning ambition. While the passion to achieve desired ends is similar, the motivation sets them worlds apart.

    Who Is This Man? Godly Ambition Mark 10:32-45 Ambition We often talk about people going through “phases.” That’s especially true for those who are growing through adolescence or some other dynamic season of life. “Oh, don’t worry about it,” we tell ourselves, “it’s just a phase.” Grown adults ...read more

    Today's Sermon for Christmas looks at the signs of Jesus's coming, and they are, the Cradle, Cross, and Crown.

    The 3 C’s of Christ’s Coming Philippians 2:5-11 Now that Christmas is upon us, maybe, just maybe, people will start being a little bit nicer to each other. Yet, unless the reason for the season, Jesus Christ, rules in our hearts, and is alive within us, then this probably won’t happen, and we’ll ...read more

    What Happens To Christians When They Die?

    Contributed by Jan Oosthuizen on Jul 23, 2021

     | 6,029 views

    What Happens to Christians when they die? Is there an afterlife? How do one prepare for it? How is one certain of resurrection?

    “PRECIOUS IN THE SIGHT OF THE LORD IS THE DEATH OF HIS SAINTS” (PS. 116:15) Death is the one thing we are most certain of, yet most ill-prepared. Is there an afterlife? How do one prepare for it? How is one certain of resurrection? All cultures have shown interest in life after death. Egyptians ...read more
