Seek Him Early

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Jun 3, 2007

The women came to the tomb of Jesus "early in the morning." Scripture teaches us to seek Him early in the morning, early in life, and early on in every endeavor.

Seek Him Early Easter CHCC: April 8, 2007 Mark 11 INTRODUCTION: How many of you were here at 7:30 for the Sunrise Service? Did you leap out of bed at 6:00 this morning, full of energy and excitement? I don’t know about you, but I have to set an alarm and drag myself out of bed most ...read more

Keys To Happiness

Contributed by Daniel Austin on Mar 20, 2010

Behaving As We Believe Series

Contributed by Perry Greene on Feb 15, 2012

Faith is more than a mental understanding of God and his good things, it is action.

1There is an evil that I have seen under the sun, and it lies heavy on mankind: 2a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity; it is a grievous evil. ...read more

Do Not Say, "I Am A Youth!”

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 15, 2022

This message looks at a teenager who was called by God. Jeremiah was like any other youth; no different than teenagers today. But the Lord was able to use him in an amazing way! God wants even those who are young to serve Him.

I would like to begin our message with a short account concerning a great evangelist in recent church history. “Dwight L. Moody was once asked, ‘How many converts did you have last night?’ Moody answered, ‘Two and one half.’ The other person said, ‘Two adults and a child?’ ‘No,’ Moody replied. ...read more

The Accountability Of Delegates.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Apr 12, 2022

Jesus identifies the gods in this Psalm as those to whom the word of God came.

THE ACCOUNTABILITY OF DELEGATES. Psalm 82:1-8. Like the book of Job, Psalm 82 opens in the counsels of heaven (Job 1:6-12; Job 2:1-7). There the ‘sons of God’ came to present themselves before ‘Yahweh’ (the LORD), ‘and Satan came also.’ Here it is “God” (‘Elohim,’ the majestic plural) ...read more

Awaiting The Manifestation.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 30, 2024

From suffering to glory.

AWAITING THE MANIFESTATION. Romans 8:18-23. Paul weighs “the sufferings of the present time” over against “the glory which shall be revealed in us” (ROMANS 8:18; cf. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18). Our inheritance is not only what God has to offer, but God Himself (cf. 1 John 3:2). It is ...read more

Bracing For The Bad Times

Contributed by Keith Linkous on Aug 30, 2001

How do we make it through difficulties? Not just troubles, but even tragedies? Jesus told us we would have trouble, but He also promised peace. This message discusses how that is possible.

(This message was preached during a recent week where our family experienced the death of a close friend, and the death of a family members’ baby.) Any time tragedies and turmoils come to us, such as we have experienced this week, it sends us searching for answers. We begin to think, to ...read more
