Surrounded By God's Peace

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Sep 15, 2015

This world is anxious to strike you with its rod and beat you at every opportunity whereas our Heavenly Father uses His rod to guide you and comfort you, by protecting you from this fallen world that is - the valley of the shadow of death.

Surrounded by God’s Peace Psalms 125 K.J.V. They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever. 2 As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever. 3 For the rod of the wicked ...read more

Word Breakers & Will Benders Series

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Oct 1, 2015

How we talk and interface our will with the will of others says something about our Father in heaven. Our words, promises, and intents reflect on people’s view of God. God desires an accurate reflection of Himself in and through us.

Word Breakers & Will Benders Matthew 5:33-37 33 "Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it ...read more

Victory In Jesus Sermon Iii: True Believers Have Nothing To Fear Series

Before The Beginning Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Had God alone been there from the beginning, there would be no thing or no one for Him to love. But God was not alone. The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit were three in one. So God is relational before anything else.

The Bible is a single story. It doesn’t appear to be one story. The Bible is a long book, written over 1,500 years and in numerous different genres. But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more

Seven Sundays To Easter: In The Garden Of Gethsemane Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 11, 2021

Jesus and the Eleven Disciples left the upper room and walked over to the Garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus prayed earnestly to the Father. Even though the disciples had come along with Him, our Lord was probably never so alone as He was at this time.

Introduction: Jesus and the eleven disciples finished their time in the Upper Room. Judas Iscariot had left them so he could betray Jesus to the chief priests and others. He missed out on the truths which our Lord shared with the others in John 14-16, and the Lord’s beautiful beyond words in John ...read more

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Mar 17, 2020

In times of distress, the need we all have of God's comfort and our courage can be met by meditating upon and determining to soar as does the eagle to new heights of trusting in the Lord God our Maker, Father and Redeemer.

Victors Not Victims Why did Jesus teach us to pray “lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one”? As the Apostle Paul put it, life’s struggles are “not against flesh and blood, but ...read more

In preparing our hearts to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord, this sermon takes us to the Garden of Gethsemane and shows us the anguish of Jesus as He prays to the Father. But in doing that, it also shows us the amazing grace and love of our God

Gethsemane Text: Mark 14:32 – 42 Alright, let’s open our Bibles up to the Gospel of Mark. This morning we’re looking at one of the most troubling portions (at least to me), of the Passion Week… And the reason I say that, is because this story of Jesus praying in the Garden ...read more

The Power Of Your Thoughts

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Feb 19, 2014

The enemy loves to put thoughts into the believer's mind. Those thoughts (if meditated on), produce strongholds, which produces feelings, which lands you into bondage... all because you listened to the devil more then your heavenly Father!

Gathering Together Under The Word

Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Sep 28, 2020

It is obvious that the Spirit of God was moving and working in the hearts of those in Jerusalem even before reading the Word of God. Generally speaking, people do not often gather together as one for God “unless the Father draws them (John 6:44).”

Last week, we spoke the fact that GOD IS NOT ONLY CONCERNED WITH WHAT IS CREATED, HE IS CONCERNED WITH HOW WE TAKE CARE OF WHAT WAS CREATED.

How Could I Possibly Imitate God? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 9, 2020

2023 New Year’ Message: "Preparing For The Journey Ahead”

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 31, 2022

Unbelief caused their forefathers to die in the wilderness, never seeing God’s best, and never experiencing the future God had for them. They had God as their father, Moses as their leader, God's promises and yet die with their dreams unfulfilled.

2023 New Year’ Message: “Preparing For the Journey Ahead” Scripture: Deuteronomy 11:8-17 “Therefore, be careful to obey every command I am giving you today, so you may have strength to go in and take over the land you are about to enter. 9 If you obey, you will enjoy a long life in the land ...read more

Grace And Peace

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Jan 3, 2023

Paul begins every one of his thirteen letters with these words of blessing: “Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” It’s arguably the greatest of all the biblical benedictions, but it goes mostly ignored.
