     | 19,342 views

    The unbelievers are looking up to us for we have something to give. Every one of us has been imbued withy a special gifting that exactly fits the needs of the world. It may not be silver or gold, but it is more valuable. New members, fulfill your role.

     | 11,365 views

    The driving motivation behind all great art, all great music, all great architecture, or writing is a single force: Passion. Nothing great in life was ever accomplished without passion.

    INTRODUCTION This is the second part of a message I started earlier this month entitled three levels of love. With Christmas behind us, we can take a deep breath from all the hustle and bustle of shopping and crowds. I heard a story about a guy who was driving around in a crowded mall parking lot ...read more

    Take a look around you and answer this question? Who is not here today that should be? Think about that for a minute.

    A sermon series revealing the secret to experiencing great intimacy with God, even when the clouds of darkness are looming overhead and God seems a million miles away.

    When The Heavens Are As Brass Throughout the years of my life as a Christian I have experienced an ever deepening holy dissatisfaction with spiritual mediocrity and have continued in desire to draw closer to God’s majesty - yearning for more of His glory. But it hasn’t exactly been a ...read more

    Choose paths inside God’s bounds that lead to purity. Choose to love one another and so reflect Christ. Choose hard work leading to character that honors Christ. Choose to grieve in hope because God has made death sure in Him.

    God Is In Control Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 24, 2018
     | 18,811 views

    In this sermon on Acts 12 and Peter's miraculous escape from prison, we wrestle with the truth that God is in control. This leads to a lot of assurance, but it also leads to trust.

    Introduction: A. You have probably heard the glib saying, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” 1. Although it is true that suffering can lead to blessing, it is easier to say it than experience it. B. One day a young man who sold magazine subscriptions door to door, came home with $25 which he ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,357 views

    For many people, life seems dissatisfying. They are actually searching for home; but our true home is in heaven. Until we reach heaven, Jesus is our home. This is the expanded version of a funeral sermon I did called "Looking for Home."

    Some say, “Home is where the heart is.” What is home? John Ed Pearce, long-time writer for the Courier-Journal, stated, “Home is a place you grow up wanting to leave, and grow old wanting to get back to.” I’ve entitled our message this morning, “Searching for Home,” and I’m addressing this topic ...read more

    There is strength in numbers, and we are at a crucial turning point as our freedoms are steadily being taken away. Now is the moment for bold change. Together, we will unite in harmony and act as a powerful, cohesive force, rather than remaining scattered like neglected parts.

    When it comes to praying for physical healing, we all know that sometimes God says YES, and sometimes God says NO. God told Paul, NO. I. Paul’s desperation. II. Paul’s Actions III. God’s Response

    God designed the human body with remarkable abilities to heal itself through various mechanisms that work together to maintain balance and repair damage. This self-healing power is governed by a range of biological processes that ensure survival and recovery. Here are some key ways the body heals ...read more

    The Prayer Of Gethsemane Series

    Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 10, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,597 views

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more
