Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 28, 2024

The road to Calvary completes Jesus’s destiny, and it’s a road that will fulfill ours as well. Calvary Road is a journey towards our redemption. What we’ll be looking at is not only how Jesus entered on the road for the redemption of our souls, but how we enter on this road as well.

Cain And Abel Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 7, 2024

Even though Abel’s life was short, his faith still speaks. Abel’s blood calls out for justice from God. Our own sin demands justice from God, and it was our sin that put Jesus on the cross. Yet the blood of Jesus speaks a better message. A message of mercy, forgiveness, reconciliation and salvation.

As we continue in our Dust to Life series, we will be looking at Genesis chapter 4 today, the account of the first two brothers in human history: Cain and Abel. Genesis 4:1-16 1 Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have obtained a ...read more

All Is Overturned – The Power Of The Resurrection – Easter Sunday Message Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 20, 2024

The world sometimes calls Christians “losers” and “suckers” for believing what we do; and for what we are. BUT THERE IS A RESURRECTION, so that the real losers are those who mock Christians and will lose everything. We look at the time after Calvary up to the Resurrection and what it all means.

So, I want to set the scene for you today. I would like you to put yourself in the shoes of the disciples. As we gather today to reflect on the profound mystery and deep significance of the Last Supper

We live in a world where everything is instant, where trends only last for a while. What was famous a month ago is not popular anymore.

Are You Related To Jesus?

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on May 12, 2024

The words that Jesus spoke as recorded in our text for today sound quite strange and may be strange for a Mother's Day sermon. Somehow it seems out of character for Jesus to say what He did. But He had a purpose.

Alba 5-12-2024 ARE YOU REATED TO JESUS? Mark 3:31-35 Mother’s Day is a special time for us to honor mothers. That is a good thing to do. And hopefully, we honor them all year long, not just on this holiday. Sadly, many of us do not realize how good our mother was until she has passed on and ...read more

Humility Of Christ

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on May 24, 2024

In our text we see the Lord Jesus loving men who did not deserve it. Luke (22:24) tells us that at the Lord’s Supper, just after Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, the disciples got into a dispute about which of them was the greatest.

Opening illustration: We all can relate to Linus in the “Peanuts” cartoon strip when he shouts in frustration, “I love mankind; it’s people I can’t stand!” It’s easy to love the human race in the abstract, but when it comes to loving specific irritating people that I can’t avoid, the process ...read more

On Membership Part Two Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Jul 17, 2023

the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

In doing some serious study on membership and what that looks like in the Church at a local level one encounters a potential problem. It just isn’t there. That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more
