    Christ Came For All Of Us

    The wise men represent us in God’s plan. They represent everyone who sets out in search of a king and finds the son of God. They gave Jesus the most precious material gifts they had and each and every one of us can give him something even better-ourselves

    Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. We remember the visit of the three wise men, but we also remember that Jesus came into the world for everyone-Jews and Gentiles, rich and poor, upper class people and lower class people, humble shepherds and wise men and so on. It is also a happy ...read more

    Putting It To Use Series

    The first lesson in this two lesson series took a look at our "free" gift from God and what it provides. In light of the gift we as Christians are challenged to share what we have been given.

    This morning we began our study on “Our Gift…from God!” by identifying His gift to all mankind – once applied to our lives Jesus blood provides: • Justification…(Romans 5:16-17) • Sanctification…(1 Cor. 6:9-11) • Preservation…(John 10:28-29) • Identification…(1 John 3:1; Rev. ...read more

    1. Jesus finds us (vs. 9). 2. Jesus invites us to follow Him (vs. 9). 3. Jesus fellowships with us (vs. 10). 4. Jesus functions as a doctor to heal us from our sin (vs. 11-13).

    “What We All Have Felt” (Betrayed) Text: Mark 14:10-11, 44-46 I want to talk to you today about something that is NOT funny. If we could have worked it out I would have showed you how NOT funny it really is on the screen by showing you a video clip from the PASSION OF CHRIST. I'll share an ...read more

    Jesus tells us that if He be lifted up, He will draw all men up to Him.

    Are You Fully Lifting Up Christ? by Joe Mack Cherry I. Introduction A. Do you believe God has your back? 1. Really, do you believe He has your back? 2.

    God's Presence In The Silence

    Contributed by David Washburn on Oct 31, 2002
    based on 81 ratings
     | 16,879 views

    We often times interpret God’s silence to mean he is absent, but the truth is that God’s silence is an opportunity for Him to draw us closer and prepare us for an even greater revelation

    Silence is something most of us aren’t comfortable with. The brief 20 seconds I stood before you, looking at you in silence may have seemed liked an eternity. What were you thinking as we looked at each other in silence? We will many times equate silence with something being wrong and will rush to ...read more

    Emphasize the importance of obedience, submission, and recognizing God's sovereignty in our lives, as demonstrated through the story of Balaam and his encounter with the angel of the Lord.

    Good morning, Church family! Today, we're going to dive into a story from the Old Testament that speaks to us about God's sovereignty in our lives, the power of obedience, and the blessing of being used by God. As A.W. Tozer once said, "Outside of the will of God, there's nothing I want. Inside the ...read more

    Diversions And Distractions: Tools Used Against Us

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Feb 9, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,488 views

    This message is about two of Satan's most successful tactics used against the Church- Diversions and Distractions. His goal is to divert us from the path God has us on or get us so disttacted that we become ineffectual as Christians.

    Diversions and Distractions: Tools Used Against Us Scripture: Second Corinthians 2:10-11; Joshua 9:3-14; Deuteronomy 20:10-11 The title of my message this morning is “Diversions and Distractions: Tools Used Against Us.” Paul wrote the following to the Christians in Corinth, “(10) Now whom you ...read more

    Use earthly resources wisely for God's kingdom and store up treasures in heaven.

    Good morning, church family! So glad to see you all here today. We're diving deep into Luke 16:8 today, to dissect the Parable of the Unrighteous Steward. You might be thinking, "What's up with that? Why are we focusing on a parable about a dishonest manager?" Well, there's more to this story than ...read more

    Growing Closer To God

    This is rule number one. If we do this, all others will fall into place.

    This week and next week we will summarize what God’s word teaches us about growing closer to God and closer to one another through our recent study in Genesis 1-22. But to start us off, let’s go first to the New Testament look at the first part of Hebrews chapter 11 where we see all ...read more

    Use It Or Lose It

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Nov 19, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,688 views

    Jesus' parable of the talents is a call to us to invest all that we are and all that we have in God's kingdom building work. The story reminds us not to compare, but to faithfully invest what we have, and to get to know the Master's heart.

    Matthew 25:14-30 Use It or Lose It Today’s parable is a story about investments. Sometimes we think it’s about using our natural abilities to serve God. Why do we think that? Because the story uses the word “talent” throughout. Our English word “talent” actually comes from that interpretation of ...read more

    The appearance of Melchizedek in Hebrews 7 is there to draw us not to this mysterious figure Melchizedek, but there to draw us to God through Jesus Christ.

    Superior Order Questions, questions, questions. As far as I’m concerned, it is good for us to come to moments like these and ask our questions. We should bring our really big questions, right? Who – What – Where – When – Why – How? If we’re going to get to the bottom of things, we’re taught that ...read more

    God With Us: The Promises Beyond The Prophecy

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 15, 2021
     | 2,670 views

    Isaiah 7:14 is quoted in Matthew 1:23 as a verification of the prophecy concerning the virgin conception of the Lord Jesus. God is with us in the midst of our troubles, our victories, the affairs of humanity, the events of the last days and eternity (Hebrews 13:5).

    The LORD always comes through even when it seems that we have run to the end of the road and see no way out of the predicament in which we find ourselves, both as individuals and as a nation. He has let us go our merry way throughout the course of history, with the consequences to follow. Our ...read more
