    This message deals with the fact that the choices we make in life can have a profound effect on us and those around us… It also teaches us that every choice that we make must be lined up and examined against the Word of God…

     | 8,968 views

    In the following sermon we are going to examine Acts 4:1-22 and conclude that through the power of the Holy Spirit ordinary Christians are to have courage that they can overcome their Sanhedrin and effectively profess that salvation is only found in the Lord Jesus Christ.

    Warning - Others in your family may not follow in your disobedient footsteps – but your attitude and your actions will affect their lives! So line up with God and let Him give you the victory over the effects of sin in your life.

    Sin is Never a Solo pursuit. So what's the big deal about Adam and Eve and their sin? Well, let me give you a sober warning. When we sin, the consequences of that sin are like the ripple effect on the surface of a body of water. What Eve did affected Adam and what they both did affected us ...read more

    Jesus exemplifies leadership for us. He is a perfect example for us to follow and pattern after. He came to seek and save the lost and so should we. But this begs the question? How effective are we at winning the lost? The answer may be in the title.

    Individualism

    Contributed by Tim Smith on Jun 16, 2013
     | 5,161 views

    We have become captive to the idea that faith is a private matter. In effect, we have bought into society’s value of individualism. Individualism is leading life one’s own way with little to no regard or connection to others

     | 7,356 views

    If you are a Christian, your testimony — the story of how God stepped in and changed you through His Son — is a direct reflection of the undisputable, life-changing power of the gospel. It’s one of the most effective tools in our evangelism toolbox.

    TITLE: THE ANATOMY OF A TESTIMONY SCRIPTURE: GALATIANS 6:10-17 When God began to reveal Himself to the world, He did not send down bookshelves filled with outlines – theologies – lectures - he began with a story.

    The message this Sunday will look at our attitude towards God’s word, and how we approach it, because that is what determines its effectiveness in our lives. We will look at this through Paul’s missionary travels to Thessalonica and Berea.

    Time Spent In God's Word

     | 1,388 views

    I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. These numbers show a troubling imbalance in our lack of time spent in the Scripture and its damaging effect on our spiritual vitality.

    If we took a poll here in our church, I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 messages a day. You are probably thinking, "No way do I receive that many messages." But ...read more
