The Glory Of Marriage Series

Contributed by David Scudder on Dec 13, 2010

One of the most shocking statistics about divorce is that couples who go to church regularly get divorced only slightly less often than those who don't. Why is that? I think it is at least partly due to the fact that the Bible teaching on marriage is sel

Purpose: To explain God's view of marriage. Aim: I want the listener to esteem marriage. INTRODUCTION: Divorce is a real problem in our country. Several years ago this ad appeared in a California newspaper: "Divorce, $25 Divorce Centers of Calif. Unload that turkey." A so called "born-again" ...read more

Back To The Basics - Fellowship Series

Contributed by Mark Engler on Sep 28, 2017

Without others around us to encourage us, teach us, and to interact with us how would we ever know to be better than we are? Why would we want to improve and be a better person? However, other people don’t always improve us.

Back to the Basics Fellowship ME Some of the best times I have had in my life have been when I was involved with playing fast pitch softball. It was a sport that I absolutely loved. To look at me now you would never think any sort of sport was part of my life, but it was for about 15 years. I ...read more

Am I My Brother's Keeper? Series

Contributed by David Spiegel on Mar 28, 2018

God approached Cain with the question, "Where is your brother?". This question was for Cain to be brought back to the truth of his situation! Cain’s response was a lie and he knew it. “I don’t know” and "Am I My Brother's Keeper"? Do we tell these lies?

This morning we will be continuing the series I’m calling “Questions” • We are looking at several famous questions that were asked in the Bible and what we can learn from them. • Last week we discussed one of the very first questions in the Bible, “Did God Really Say…?” • Just like us, once Satan ...read more

Be Prepared

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 15, 2018

Last week I talked about the importance of being in the moment. But being in the moment doesn't mean we don't prepare. Being prepared is important; especially when it comes to doing the Lord's work. Let's see what the bible has to say about it.

BE PREPARED Last week I talked about the importance of being in the moment. It's important to not dwell on the past or worry about the future but to be here now and enjoy the moment. But being in the moment doesn't mean we don't prepare. Being prepared is important; especially when it comes to ...read more

"Finding Your Purpose" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Feb 27, 2017

Most of us are tired and weary of the same old, same old when we come to church. We don’t want to feel like when we attend that we are simply going through the motions. People no longer come to church because it is the right thing to do.

“Finding your Purpose” Ephesians 1:11-12 Listen to what God’s word says in Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus. Ephesians 1:11-12 Eugene Peterson who wrote the message paraphrased this verse... Here it is...”It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we ...read more

Hands Up...worries Down!

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Mar 25, 2017

As Christians we don't have to live in fear, of not knowing what's up ahead around the corner, or what the future might bring. As long as God knows, isn't that enough? It's time we left our hands up...and our worries down!

Hands up...Worries down! Philippians 4:4-7 MSG 4-5 Celebrate God all day, every day. I mean, revelin him! Make it as clear as you can to all you meet that you’re on their side, working with them and not against them. Help them see that the Master is about to arrive. He could show up any ...read more

Faith Or Sight?

Contributed by Perry Greene on May 22, 2018

I/we tend to want to see God's direction clearly. Sometimes he grants that; usually, he doesn't. What he wants from us is the faith to continue on with him even when we don't see where we're going.

1. Trust or Clarity? Ethicist John Kavanaugh went to Calcutta, India to work at “the house for the dying” for three with Mother Teresa. This was part of a sincere search for personal direction in his life. On the first morning there he met Mother Teresa and she asked him what she could do for ...read more

Whining In The Wilderness Series

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jun 28, 2013

We need to stop complaining and cry out to God, depending on him to meet our most important needs of this journey. That we don’t just rely on leaders to connect us with God but rather we are all responsible for having our own relationship with Him.

(Exodus 15:22-27) So Moses/God led them into the desert for three days without water. Experts say that in a warm dry environment like that, 3 days would be the upper limit of survival without water. So these people would be very near death when they came upon this watering hole. And imagine their ...read more

Guidelines For Christianity: God's Gift Of Sex Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 26, 2015

Today we’re gonna talk about sex. Now that I have your attention. . . God does not have a Commandment about worshipping Him in a temple or sanctuary. He planned to live in the body of His people. He wants to be glorified in your body and carry out His ministry through you. Here’s a ...read more

Obey God

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 26, 2015

When we obey God by doing things such as loving an enemy, people will be amazed because it is not the logical thing to do. Obeying God is the Christian thing to do. When we obey God, we don't know what the result will be, but God will bless our obedience

Acts 5:27-42 is a story about obeying God regardless of the consequences imposed by mankind. Like Peter, we as Christians are to obey the Lord rather than man in situations where the two are in conflict. For example, when obeying our political leaders would cause us to do something that goes ...read more

Do The Do Series

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Sep 30, 2013

We don't need to fill another notebook, with more outlines, of powerful truths, and wonderful insights, we do not suffer from a lack of correct heads, but what we need is to have more of a consumed heart, and more of walking out what we already know.

Today we are going to talk about a subject that Jesus spoke on frequently, and in our text today James ...read more

A Study Of Psalm 19 And 20 Series

The Narrow Road
