Why Does Your Church Need You?

Contributed by Perry Anderson on Oct 6, 2013

We tend to think we go to church only to get, but in truth, we go to church to give. We don't go to church, we are the church and each member is valuable and needed.

Just as it takes every ligament to hold a physical body together, it takes each member in the body of Christ to do their part in order for the church to be strong and hold together. When each part functions the body grows and stays strong. When a part of the physical body fails to function or is ...read more

Before I get into my message today, I want you to pick a number, any number. Did you pick a number larger than a million? If not, then, why didn't you?

Peter Falk (1927-2011), who died just a few years ago, will always be remembered for the role he played as an eccentric, sloppy detective in the TV series called “Columbo.” More often than not, he played dumb, but that put his subjects off guard, and he was always able to solve his cases as a ...read more

Where God Is

Contributed by Aaron Kilbourn on Sep 9, 2008

We don’t have all the answers but we still know that God is still God. We still know He is just. He is still merciful to all who trust Him.

I don’t know what your relationship is like with the Lord, but usually when I get frustrated and upset with Him, He tends to show me I’m proud and have idolatry.

You Make Pizza, One Layer At A Time

Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009

Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

You make Pizza, one layer at a time. Pizza, what a topic to preach about? I suppose that the only real connection we have with pizza and the church is that pizza came from Italy and Paul’s preaching took him to Italy. That is a pretty far stretch, or is it? Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more
