     | 10,369 views

    Satan's primary strategy is deception. There is a battle for the minds of Americans. There are many lies of Satan that Americans believe

    Do Not Be Deceived 10/18/15 Introduction: For almost 230 years America has enjoyed freedom of religion. Because the early founders feared a state church, they enacted the Free Exercise Clause in the First Amendment. It was written to ensure that the new government could not coerce persons to ...read more

    Let's talk about the family integrated movement (Material adapted from Greene Community Church at: http://greenechurch.com/family-integrated/)

    HoHum: Every time I accept the call to preach at a church, I get mixed reactions about the past preacher. Some think that he was God’s gift to the ministry and hated to see him go. Others think that he was the anti Christ and they rejoiced the day he left to go somewhere else. Strive to ...read more

    If Jesus can raise Lazarus to new life, can He not do the same for us?

    “Lazarus Lives” John 11:1-3, 17-44 Most all of us want to live lives that matter. We want to be significant in some way, to make a difference, to have a legacy, to be happy. Yet overshadowing all these hopes and dreams is the dark cloud of death, and along with it may come a feeling of ...read more

    The Defiance Of The Queen Series

     | 5,140 views

    Queen Vashti was expected to behave in a way contrary to conscience and she refused the king's command. Her refusal was the right decision to make, but it cost her dearly. Living upright will not always gain one the favor of the world.

    The Defiance of the Queen Esther 1: 10-22 As we consider our text today, we must do so in light of the preceding verses. King Ahasuerus had thrown a six month long party, culminating with a seven day finale. He had provided an elaborate escapade for all the princes and servants within the ...read more

    Words matter. Words are powerful. The Devil uses words against us and his words are dangerous to live by!

    Pt. 2 - IF Introduction It has been said and sung that talk is cheap. In our day and age it seems that is certainly true. Anyone can publish a book. Anyone can sit behind the anonymity of a keyboard and type out words that thousands can read and even believe. However, just because it is now cheap ...read more

     | 4,023 views

    have you made a difference? Who have you made a difference? We grow the tendancy to complain, bellyache, and desire to tell others exactly what is wrong with them and the world. Yet we can make a difference?

    DO WE WANT TO TELL OTHERS WHAT IS WRONG? By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com INTRODUCTION: I line several chairs one behind the other.

    How we think and act with money is a direct reflection of how we think about and act with Jesus.

    Today I'm not telling you to give. The number one conversation that is happening right now in our city and country has to do with money. We wouldn't be helpful to you if we weren't talking about money because all of us are having a money conversation all day long and that conversation is often ill ...read more

     | 7,713 views

    A look at Jesus is asking us to identify with in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. The critical question is, can we be merciful without remaining connected to our own need for mercy?

    Today is Palm Sunday, today we are celebrating the Triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. I am sure you guys know the story, Jesus rides a young colt into Jerusalem and the Passover crowd goes wild.

    A Lenten Catechesis-Holy Communion Series

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 22, 2013
     | 7,825 views

    The last sermon in the Lenten Catechesis series, this sermon focuses on the sacrament of Holy Communion.

    One of the things I discovered very quickly in my earlier years as a parish pastor is the joy that Pastors have, and the special relationship that they develop with homebound members of the congregation. In many cases, these dear older saints are people who because of their advanced age and lack ...read more

    Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
     | 7,478 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more
