Can I Really Believe Jesus Is Who He Says He Is? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Had your brother said, “I’m God. I’m the Lord. And I’m here to die for the sins of the world,” you wouldn’t readily believe Him either. But after Jesus rose from the grave, we see Jesus’ mother, Mary, worshipping Him. We also see his own brothers, James and Jude, worshipping as well.

Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. All throughout today’s message, I’m going to be talking about the gospel. The gospel is Jesus. The gospel is the message of Jesus. If you’re regularly a part of our church family, I’ve moved from the end of Luke 5, last week, to Luke 8, this ...read more

Someone Must Come Preaching

Contributed by Eric Wright on Jul 3, 2022

Jonah decided that he would rather quit the prophetic ministry than preach to such people.

Somebody’s Got To Come Preaching… Jonah 1:1-2 Now the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 2 Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me. Jonah 3:1-2 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 ...read more

A Church Without Undercurrents (James 4:11-12) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jul 9, 2022

A challenge to stop speaking evil of one another.

Today, we are going to work through just two verses from James 4, verses 11-12. These verses have their own little introduction and conclusion, and sort of stand alone. Let's start by reading just the first sentence in verse 11: (11) Don't speak evil of one another, brothers. In my ...read more

Lot – Part 6 – A Lot Of Trouble For God – For Abraham – And For Himself – Genesis 19 Lot’s Reprobate And Fallen Corrupt Nature - Incest Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2022

One of the most difficult passages in the bible - Lot and his daughters commit incest, and Lot is drunk. All horrible sensuality on display. Then I look at why the New Testament calls Lot righteous, which thing I can not see, but the opposite I do see.

LOT – PART 6 – A LOT OF TROUBLE FOR GOD – FOR ABRAHAM – AND FOR HIMSELF – GENESIS 19 LOT’S REPROBATE AND FALLEN CORRUPT NATURE - INCEST THE INCESTUOUS ACCOUNT – GENESIS 19 VERSES 30 - 38 This is the last message in the series on Lot. In a number of ways doing the life of Lot is instructive, but ...read more

Abandonment Issues Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 24, 2022

This story places the Israelites’ emotional development pretty squarely in the adolescent stage, because they behaved just like a bunch of teenagers left too long with the keys to the wine cellar.

How many of you have children? Did you have any idea, while you were painting the nursery and picking out your first set of onesies, how much of your life would get taken over? Children take a huge amount of time and attention. And of course it gets worse when they start to crawl and then to walk ...read more

The Great Depression # 4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 31, 2021

Last week, as we considered THE GREAT DEPRESSION, we dealt with the life of Elijah. He is the ideal person to study when you study the subject of depression.

WHY IS HE THE IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR THIS STUDY? Because of what the Word of God says about him. Look at James 5:17, we read, "Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are…" Elijah represents us in that - (1) HE HAD HIS HIGH DAYS He enjoyed the highest of highs. We Americans ...read more

A God Of New Beginnings

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 21, 2022

There are many people who wish they had a new beginning; to those experiencing trials and hardship; and those who are suffering from poor choices; to those who are lost and dying in their sin - and God can give new beginnings!

In December of 1934, John and Betty Stam, a young American missionary couple assigned in China, were captured by Communists and eventually martyred for their faith. Captured with them was their baby daughter. One of the other prisoners, as he was being released from Jingde Prison, overheard the ...read more

Grace From Galatians (17 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

In this passage of scripture, Paul is addressing Christians. Notice, he addressed them in verse 1 by referring to them as, “Brethren”.

Paul’s concept of the church throughout the scriptures is that the Believers are the family of God. WHY IS HE ADDRESSING THEM? He is addressing them because people in the family of God are supposed to love one another as a LOVING FAMILY. Like all families, the family of God has times when ...read more

It's About Time

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 1, 2021

Think about the concept of time. We measure things by time.Time management is an important factor in our lives. We all wish we had more time yet we waste so much of it. Let's see what the bible has to say about time.

IT'S ABOUT TIME Think about the concept of time. Our memories are recalling moments in time. We measure things by time. Right now the Olympics are going on.

The God Who Seeks, The God Who Waits Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Aug 27, 2021

Jesus tells three parables in Luke 15. Two of them illustrate seeking the lost. One of them illustrates waiting for the lost to come home. All three show God's heart toward us.

The Context: Now the tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to hear him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told ...read more

Elevate To The Next Level - "Living Intentionally

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Aug 3, 2025

I’d like to look at intentional living, which is about reassessing life, and living lives intentionally given the fact each one has only so many days left to live. As we begin, we’ll find those things we considered important might not be that important after all.
