    The Choices God Makes

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,164 views

    Scripture uses the term “the elect” to describe Christians. That word (eklogç) has the meaning of picking or choosing. Christians are the chosen ones of God. He made the choice, and He set the standard for the choice.

    Alba 3-13-2022 THE CHOICES GOD MAKES Romans 9:6-33 It's not fair! That is a cry from many people about situations that don’t go their way! Today in our society there are many who have taken this to a new level! Someone will say, “It’s not fair that little Johnny’s team has to lose, so let’s ...read more

    Is Your Best Offense Really A Good Defense?

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Mar 17, 2022
     | 2,318 views

    Why are so many so offended by everything today, and are we exempt from this problem? What is the best response (the Christlike one) when things are offensive to us?

    INTRODUCTION: Illustration- There’s an old saying – “The best defense is a good offense.” It’s been used in sports, in business, and in war. It’s also known as the strategic offensive principle of war. The theory is that being proactive with a strong offensive action will make your opponent so ...read more

    Imitating The Way God Walks

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 5, 2023
     | 1,914 views

    Walking with God can be a really good thing! Have you noticed that many people have their own peculiar way of walking. Perhaps you smiled if you happened to see a boy walking with his father, trying to walk the same way as his dad. They say that imitation is a form of flattery.

    Alba 6-4-2023 IMITATING THE WAY GOD WALKS Ephesians 5:1-21 Did you know that God took walks? The Bible says that when Adam and Eve sinned, “they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God ...read more

    Sermon # 23 - Finding Favor With God Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 20, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,455 views

    Do we want the favor of God on our lives? As we study the life of Gideon, and others from the bible we will understand what those pre-requisites are for God’s favor to rest on us, and all we do.

    We read in Judges 6:17-19, So Gideon said to Him, “If now I have found favor in your sight, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. Please do not depart from here, until I come back to you, and bring out my offering and lay it before you.” And He said, “I will remain until you ...read more

    Why is it that we come to church? Why do we open ourselves up to the possibility that we might have to confront ourselves, to repent and even to change?

    How many of you have heard someone say, “Why do I have to go to church? Can’t I be just as good of a Christian at home, reading the Bible, doing good deeds, praying by myself, maybe watching a favorite preacher TV in the comfort of my own living room? Why should I bother getting up on Sunday ...read more

    MOSES AND GOD: GOD RAISES UP A LEADER TO DELIVER HIS PEOPLE

    (3:1-10) What we must learn is that God calls people to serve Him. Just think who it is that calls us to serve Him. It is the sovereign Lord of all who actually stooped down and breathe the breath of life in us that gives us the privilege to serve Him. This should excite us. This should make us ...read more

     | 3,663 views

    Have you ever been asked to do something that you just did not feel prepared to do at all? God asks BIG things of us, and we feel like we could never measure up...BUT, He will ALWAYS equip us for the things He asks of us, even if we don't think we are ready for it yet!

    As we continue to talk about our Mis-Quoted series…I wanted to focus a little bit on the different things God called His people to do in the Scriptures…WE are going to talk about a guy who, in all honesty, was not equipped to do what God was asking Him to do…but we as His people are called to ...read more

     | 2,305 views

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

    More Than A Mother

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,802 views

    No matter how deep the scars that life has left us with, the mother-love of God can restore the broken places and refill the empty places. There is nothing that we have lost that cannot be transformed or redeemed.

    Many of you met my sister Kathleen and her son Brian when they came down for my installation. Brian is the only child in our generation, my mother’s only grandchild. And that’s surprising because, of the two of us, Kathleen didn’t want children and I did. I was the one who played with dolls. I was ...read more

    The Danger Of Doing What Is Right In Your Own Sight

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 6, 2023
     | 5,171 views

    The church has had far too much in common with the children of Israel back in the days when there was no king. We must cry out against the Spiritual, Moral, and Ethical Depravity that is being allowed to happen in the churches today.

    The Danger of Doing What is Right in Your Own Eyes By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: SCRIPTURES: - Judges 17 – 21 Deuteronomy 12:8 says, “You shall not do as we are doing here today, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”. That is not a request that is a command. Judges 17:6 ...read more
