Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 3, 2024

In the brief yet impactful letter of Philemon 1-7, Paul writes from prison, transforming his personal trials into a powerful act of grace and encouragement for others. Just like Paul, we are called to embody God’s lasting treasures of grace and peace in our own lives and relationships.

The Joy Of Generosity Series

Contributed by Dr. John D. Wentworth on Nov 3, 2025

God’s economy runs on joy, not guilt. Paul reminds us that giving isn’t a tax, it’s a treasure—a chance to reflect the heart of a generous God. The Lord isn’t tallying how much you give; He’s looking at the attitude behind it.

Friday - The Innocent One Is Condemned, Crucified, And Buried Series

Contributed by David Owens on Apr 4, 2022

On that Friday, of the last week of Jesus' earthly life, He was condemned, crucified, and buried. God's amazing plan for redemption and God's great love for us was on display through the awful events of that day. To follow Jesus requires that we pick up the cross daily and follow Him.

A. “I stand before the cross and wonder. I stand before the cross and fear. I kneel before the cross and weep. I pray before the cross and rejoice. To know the cross is to know Christ. To feel the cross is to feel Christ. To gaze at the cross is to gaze at Christ. To carry the cross is ...read more

The Luckiest People Alive - Matthew 5:1-12 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 1, 2024

There is controversy surrounding how the Sermon on the Mount should be interpreted. Is it law? Grace? Is it binding on us today? How can we possibly live that way?

The sermon on the mount makes some very hard demands on us. The introduction to the sermon (the beatitudes) is designed to provide motivation for the hard demands of righteous living throughout the sermon. The first half of the message focuses on how the sermon on the mount should be interpreted (a ...read more

Jump-Starting Jabez

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 13, 2001

We have learned, thanks to Bruce Wilkinson’s writings, to treasure the prayer of Jabez; but what can we intuit that Jabez’ mother did for him: she honored his uniqueness, she owned her own pain and shared it with her son, and she move him toward faithful prayer.

You know how they say that behind every good man there is a good woman? Well, they used to say that. That is a pre-feminist proverb. Now they say that alongside every good man there is a good woman, like Newton’s Law, equal in force but opposite in direction! But I certainly find it true that ...read more

God’s Word Brings Revival Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Apr 6, 2016

How do we respond to God’s word? Is it a casual experience, or something that we treasure every day we are able? Are we reminded of what God has done because we spend time in His word? How we treat His word is a tremendous invitation to others.

Sermon # 47 - The Chosen Few Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 26, 2025

Though a majority followed Jesus, there were only a chosen few who in total obedience fulfilled the Great Commission. All through the bible God worked mighty wonders through a few faithful men and women. The question is, “Are we part of God’s chosen few?”

For our meditation today we will look at Luke 14:25, “Now a great number of people went with him.” (BBE) There was a multitude of people who followed Jesus while He was here on earth. Though these people were from various vocations, they set them aside, to follow Jesus as He travelled and preached ...read more

Short all-age talk for 2009 Christmas Eve services. Many people come from our community. Talk uses an illustration of how I as an earthly Dad might write a book for my children to get to know me better. God has given us a book, but also given us Jesus.

Playing Monopoly With God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 4, 2015
