    Jesus has given leaders to the church who are called to a lead through their Christian character and example; it is not a calling that all desire because it comes with great responsibility. It is also a calling that requires great respect.

    Message “The Noble Task of Leadership” 1 Timothy 3:1 Why do politicians get such a rough stick when it comes to their leadership? I don’t want you to answer out loud but I suspect, if we were to share our thoughts and answers, there would be many reasons … and a few of us might even start getting ...read more

    The Good, The Bad, And The Overcomers Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jan 15, 2014
     | 1,264 views

    This was a loving church, serving, faithful, growing church; yet their toleration of false teaching was displeasing to Christ and harmful to people who were deceived by it. Change was needed and Jesus requires it if this church is to be overcomers.

    The Good, the Bad, and the Overcomers Revelation 2:18-29 18 "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. 19 I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,823 views

    This Easter sermon focuses on the resurrection of Jesus and the potential resurrection of his followers which complete the story of Jesus. We often focus on his death, but the empty tomb is good news that requires a response.

    1. The Rest of the Story was a Monday-through-Friday radio program originally hosted by Paul Harvey. Beginning as a part of his newscasts during the Second World War and then premiering as its own series on the ABC Radio Networks on May 10, 1976, The Rest of the Story consisted of stories presented ...read more

    The resurrection shows us the overwhelming grace of God and the overwhelming humaneness of man. The disciples were afraid and confused after the death of Jesus. Look deep in the tomb and see the reality of the resurrection and the response it requires

    Intro: I heard about a church organist who overslept one Easter morning. She said, "The service was scheduled for 6:30. At 6:31, the minister called to see if I was coming. Since I live near the church, I was at the organ by 6:45. Then, a year later on Easter morning my phone rang at 5:45. When I ...read more

    Who Was Cain's Wife?

    Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Sep 6, 2015
     | 8,032 views

    Some have adopted the viewpoint that Cain's wife belonged to a separate group of people with little or no connection with Adam and Eve. However, the Gospel message requires that all have descended from Adam and Eve..

    Why is it important? Many skeptics have claimed that, for Cain to find a wife, there must have been other ‘races’ of people on the Earth who were not descendants of Adam and Eve. To many people, this question is a stumbling block to accepting the creation account in Genesis and its ...read more

    This sermon explores Elijah's interactions with the widow of Zarephath, and we learn that God never abandons us, faith requires obedience, and to receive a blessing I must be a blessing. Faith was the key to Elijah's ministry.

    Hebrews 11 has been called God’s “Hall of Faith.” Like the Hall of Fame in sports or other arenas of life, Hebrews 11 gives us the names and tells us, if ever so briefly, what God’s people accomplished “by faith.” We hear such profound accomplishments ...read more

    Seeking After God

    Contributed by Mark Mitchell on Jan 8, 2019
     | 4,518 views

    Those who call themselves Christian today often seek an experience rather than seeking God. An experience can be had quickly on Sunday morning, seeking God requires great sacrifice.

    I. When should Christians seek God? (v.6) A. Psa 63:1 A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah. O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. B. We should seek God early or ...read more
