Witness: Prepares #1 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019

We’re all being prepared to be witnesses through the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

We begin with a conversation about the deepest question of all: why are we here? what’s the meaning of our lives? Nothing enduringly great has ever been achieved without asking that question. For us, as Christians, we have answered the question through the lenses of ONE indisputable Truth – God ...read more

Four Words To Pray

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Nov 3, 2019

This sermon looks at four words and their meaning that should be an integral part of our prayer lives. They are "spare," "restore," "draw," and "revive," and then why we pray and ask this in Jesus's name.

The House That Wisdom Built Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jul 14, 2024

God tells us to pursue wisdom... but what kind of wisdom should I want, and how can obtain it?

When you build a house you want to be wise about the kind of contractors you hire, the kinds of materials you use, the research you do… and you’ll want to be wise in choosing the location to build the home. This last one can be extremely important… For example, a few years ago a Chicago family ...read more

The Book Of James: A Gut Punch For Christian Hypocrisy

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Sep 24, 2021

I’ve heard the book of James described as a gut punch to Christians. I like that. The book of James, written by Jesus’ brother, somebody who grew up with Jesus, and saw Jesus’ during his whole ministry, writes to us, challenging us to really practice what we believe.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 17, 2024

Jerusalem was filled with wicked people and judgment was coming. The people ignored God but were overtaken by sorrow in the Babylonian invasion. This world is soon to experience the wrath of God because of increasing evil and unrepentant sin. Not one is righteous, NOT EVEN ONE.

Win The Day - Wind The Clock Premium Sermon

Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023

The sermon introduction discusses the concept of making the most of our time, as illustrated by a story from Dr. Tony Campolo about truly living versus merely existing.

Many years ago, Dr. Tony Campolo was teaching a class at the University of Pennsylvania when he turned an ordinary lecture into an unforgettable lesson. He asked a student sitting on the front row, “Young man, how long have you lived?” The unsuspecting student answered his age. “No, no, no,” said ...read more

This Mother's Worst Dilemma

A Martyr For A Cause – Charlie Kirk Assassinated Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 19, 2025

Tragically in September 2025 a young Christian leader was assassinated in the USA. This message looks into that and uses quotes from Charlie Kirk’s wife, Erica. It is so sick that certain elements of demonic belief are rejoicing that a Christian man was murdered. This world gets worse.

A MARTYR FOR A CAUSE – CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATED I know much has been written about the tragic death of Charles Kirk and I do not want this to be a copycat message. Almost overwhelmingly, there have been expressions of grief and condolences but reprehensively, there have been those who delight in ...read more

Help Me God, I'm Discouraged Series

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Oct 27, 2022

The Devil has done his work of discouragement for a long time. If you feel discouraged, you are not alone. God's children do get discouraged. But what did Jesus mean when he said that we can have “life more abundantly,” “life to the full?”

The Battle Of Depression

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 4, 2022

All of us at some point have dealt with depression. How do we overcome it? How do we defeat it? Today, we'll look at Asaph's account battling depression and trouble in Psalms 77. And more importantly, how to overcome.
