What Jesus Said About Evangelism Series

Contributed by Michael Wiley on Mar 13, 2009

This message takes a little different look at what Jesus said about evangelism. We don’t look at "what" he told them to do in Mt. 18. We look at "where" He told them to go in Mt. 10.

Prayer Keys - Privacy Series

Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Nov 3, 2011

This is the first time Jesus taught his first disciples about prayer. His first lesson was, “Spend time alone with the Father in prayer.” If we don’t follow his first lesson, we are not following the example or the command of Christ.

"But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you." Matthew 6:6 A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers when his mother passed by his room and stopped to listen. “Bless Mommy and ...read more

The Light Of The Season Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 25, 2011

We tend to take Christmas lights for granted. They're so common and so much a part of Christmas that we don't often give them much thought. But how tragic if we neglect the most important light of the season.

OPEN: We tend to take Christmas lights for granted. We see them on Christmas trees, and on bushes and buildings throughout the city. They’re in practically every store and mall, and sometimes we’ve seen them in synchronized musical displays on homes. So, we tend to take Christmas ...read more

All The Right Moves - All The Wrong Motives Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 6, 2011

There are behaviors and qualities that many Christians believe are hallmarks of a truly spiritual Christian. But Paul tells us that those qualities mean nothing if we don’t love others. Why? Why are our best Christian behaviors empty without that single a

Waiting Upon The Lord, Sowing Into Your "Suddenly"

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Feb 14, 2011

In this message I don't want to speak about the benefits of waiting on the Lord, but what exactly does it mean to wait on the Lord. If we do the waiting right, we will get the rewards right. We will be sowing into a “Suddenly,” moment.

Waiting Upon the Lord Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew [their] strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; [and] they shall walk, and not faint.

Going Deeper

Contributed by Jerry Flury on Aug 31, 2010

Christ calls us to go deeper with Him where greater riches and service lie and stop wading in the shallows. Why don’t Christians want to go deeper? How can they go deeper? What are the benefits of going deeper?

Going Deeper Hebrews 5:12 – 6:1 Introduction: Paul scolded the Hebrew Christians for remaining shallow believers and not growing deeper in their Christian experience. They remained superficial believers. He challenges them to go on to maturity. Christ called Peter to ...read more

INTRO.- ILL.- Thomas Edison was once asked how he resisted temptations. He said, “Never have any. I don’t have time.” I love his idea of escaping the temptation to do evil. Keep busy doing good. If your life is filled with doing good you will no have time or thought for doing ...read more

Lord Of All: Lord Indeed Series

Contributed by Eloy Gonzalez on Feb 18, 2012

Transfiguration Sunday: Who is Jesus? Maybe better asked, "Who is Jesus to you?" We fail to truly recognize Jesus when we don’t understand his full divinity and his willingness to suffer and die on the cross for our sake.

Who is Jesus? - All-around great guy? Great teacher? Prophet? Savior? God? If you wanted to take the easy way out – your answer would simply be, “Yes.” But I’m not going to let you get away with that. Truly knowing Jesus touches more than understanding. It touches more than knowing ...read more

Rev.# 45~13:5-10 The Antichrist Series

Contributed by William D. Brown on Mar 11, 2010

God don’t see him as a man, made in the divine image of God, but as a wild animal, under the control of Satan. He is a man but he is energized from hell, for he comes out of the pit, we’re told this two times.

Part 9 - Matthew 9:27-31 - Have A Girl Look And You'll Find It! Series

Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Mar 27, 2010

Many people have eyes but cannot see. They need to have a "GIRL LOOK" if they are ever to find Christ. And by that I don't mean I have to be a wimp. I just mean I need to seek Him with all my heart.

Part 9 - Matthew 9:27-31 - HAVE A GIRL LOOK AND YOU'LL FIND IT! My granddaughter was here yesterday. She is two years old. I pointed out some Pelicans sitting on a pole, but for a long time she could not see them. She didn't know where to look. I should talk. I ask my wife sometimes "Where are the ...read more

Break The Cycle Of Spiritual Osmosis

Contributed by Antonio Silveira on Jun 4, 2011

Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people. The Bible gives us a good indication about the effects of associating with what is called “bad people”. Some kind of Osmosis happens.

1 Corinthians 15:33 (God’s Word Translation) Don't let anyone deceive you. Associating with bad people will ruin decent people. (New Living Translation) Don't be fooled by those who say such things, for "bad company corrupts good character.” (International Standard Version) Stop being ...read more
