The weaker defeats the stronger. The pure in heart defeats the corrupt. These popular stories all share this theme. Yet,they also suggest that "we can do it alone." "We don’t need anybody else." The story of our faith is very, very different fro

Ownership Vs. Possession Series

Contributed by David Shipman on Nov 20, 2001

Ownership & Possession are not the same thing? It is said that possession is 9/10ths of the law. You may have a legal right, but if you don’t possess it you aren’t enjoying it! Do you possess what you have a legal right to in the Word?

Ownership & Possession Mark 11:24 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive (to take) them, and ye shall have them. (KJV) Just because God gives you something is no sign that you will enjoy it! This morning: Ownership & Possession How ...read more

How To Change Your Character Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 14, 2005

We as humans see things we don’t like in ourselves - then just decide to change. But we are who we are and cannot change - unless God does the transformation. We also hear how God uses this to turn what the enemy means for harm into good.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could plan the day of our departure? Just think about it - you could accomplish the things that are really important, pass on vital information to those you will leave behind, then set your sights on heaven and away you go.

Blessing In Disguise

Contributed by Andrew Drummond on Feb 11, 2007

Often it is difficult for us to see too far past our circumstances. In doing so we forget that God is always up to something good, if we will just put our faith in Him. There are many blessings in life that don’t look like blessings at first...

I was speaking with my mother the other day and she said that when she woke up she asked God to be involved in every part of her day. As she was about to sit down for a nice lunch with her sisters she got a call to rush a family member to the hospital. She then had to wait in the hospital waiting ...read more

Who Am I?

Contributed by Austin Mansfield on Feb 25, 2007

We spend so much of our lives unsure of the answer to this question. If I don’t know who I am, then what I stand for and what I believe in are easily swayed by circumstances. Knowing who I am is critical to getting through life.

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. Amen. (Psalm 19:14) Who am I? … We spend so much of our lives unsure of the answer to this simple question. We look at ...read more

As we left the disciples last week, they had spent their last moments with Jesus before he ascended to Heaven.

Blessed Are The Meek Series

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 4, 2005

We don’t see much meekness in this world, but it was a meek and lowly life that Christ modeled for us. When we watch a movie depicting the life of Christ, we often see a soft spoken and gentle man. Perhaps that is the picture we have of meekness. Only

Great things are always revealed to God’s chosen people on the mountaintop. There are many examples of this throughout the Bible. We haven’t the time to look at all of these, but we can continue to look at what Jesus spoke on the Sermon on the Mount. Again, what we should notice is the fact that ...read more

The Christian Checklist; Do You Measure Up?

Contributed by David Richardson on Sep 29, 2005

If we let the world have its own way, we could reach a place where we think that we can’t do anything, therefore we don’t do anything. We could reach a point of all talk or thought, and no action.
