    The fourth in a series dealing with the parables found in Matthew. This sermon was preached on Memorial Day and so it somewhat ties in with that holiday.

    Soldiers for Christ: (Parables of Matthew Part Four) Text: Matthew 13:18 – 23 Well it’s Memorial Day weekend; and as you all know, Memorial Day was a holiday created originally for the purpose of honoring the men and women who gave their lives in service to this country. There’s ...read more

    The perfect example of Christ's obediance

    Introduction The outline for this message came out of the "Preacher's Outline and Sermon Bible." Our question today is “what is baptism all about? The answer is found in studying Jesus' baptism and John's reaction to Jesus' baptism. Lets outline our passage this way: 1. The ...read more

    If we are to have a successful relationship with God, we must spend time getting to know him.

    Matthew 5:13-16 Salt and Light Witnessing There are two things that we value that seem so small but are part of our survival. We either complain because we have too much of these two things or we want more of them. One is hardly seen. Yet if you have too little of it you can taste ...read more

    The 11th in a series going through all Christ endured leading up to the Cross. The series ends Easter Sunday with the Glorious Resurrection

    Jesus suffered immensely on the cross. All that He suffered was for a world that was lost. He gave His life so the world could be saved. Never once did He lose focus of His mission. Whatever was done to Jesus to torture him/make Him suffer, never made Him forget what He was doing. He was ...read more

    A group wanted Paul to justify and help them pick and choose who they felt had Proper and Improper motives when it came to Preaching the Word of God. Paul redirected their focus and rejoiced that Christ is Preached, focus not on the motive but the Word

    TITLE: CHRIST IS PREACHED SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 1:15-18 (Main thought from Pastor Darrin Hunt 2006 sermon central message which I have expanded upon) I recall reading a story a few years ago, about an event that transpired the year I graduated High School, matter of fact, in 1979 – Story ...read more

    This is a follow-up sermon from watching the film, Case For Christ the week before. This sermon does not go into all the evidences but rather looks at a couple of verses regarding sharing our faith with some statements and insights from the film.

    THE CASE FOR CHRIST Last week we watched the film, Case For Christ, based on the book of the same name by Lee Strobel. Lee was a Journalist for the Chicago Tribune. He was also an atheist. Then his wife started going to church. When he saw the changes taking place in her he was curious enough to ...read more

    There is no sin that is too big for God’s forgiveness.

    The story of the Geresene Demoniac. This story gives me chills. There is so much meaning beyond the words written on the page. There are so many questions to be asked. Jesus enters a town that is obviously not filled with Jews. The first question to be asked is, Are they Gentiles or Heathens. We ...read more

    “To remain in Christ is become fruitful.”

    I wonder why it’s such a compliment to tell a woman she looks like a breath of spring, but not to tell her she looks like the end of hard winter. Isn’t it the same thing? I wonder why, when the preacher says, "In closing..." he doesn’t. I wonder why it pleases her to say time stands still when you ...read more
