    Is Jesus What You Expected?

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 8,662 views

    Jesus' sermon in his hometown synagogue might not have gone as you would expect. But Jesus shows us that his Word is sometimes welcomed, other times rejected, but ALWAYS powerful.

    Expectations. “Do you really think that we’re going to get all that snow that they say we’re supposed to get?” “Have you heard about the frigid temperatures that are predicted?” “Do you think that they’ll cancel school?” The expectations, the anticipation and the excitement was hard to escape. ...read more

    The Command In Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016
     | 9,401 views

    I fear many fail to consider the seriousness of Jesus' command to make disciples. As followers of Christ, we are all commanded to make other disciples. Thankfully, our Lord provided insight to His great command.

    The Command in Discipleship Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8 After several weeks of discussion and consideration, I hope to conclude our series on discipleship. Hopefully we have been enlightened regarding discipleship, having a greater knowledge of what is expected, and how to be better equipped as ...read more

    The exaggerated sense of self interferes with serving God and each other

    Matt 23 : 1 – 12 There are many stories from someone named Aesop. No one knows if he/she actually lived but is said to have been a story teller who told stories and solved problems. The stories are still, to this day, used as lessons in morality. Some said that he/she was a slave who loved to ...read more

    A sermon examining the amazing grace of God.

    God's Great Grace Titus 2:11-15 One of the greatest illustrations of Grace, is the story of David and Mephibosheth. David had made a covenant with his dear friend and Saul's son Jonathan, he promised to show kindness to his family. Sometime after Saul and Jonathan died and David had become King, ...read more

     | 10,123 views

    In order to win over our worry, we must realize the futility of worry, set our priorities in order, and learn to live in the present.

    Win Over Your Worry The Habits of Happiness Part 5 Matthew 6:25-34 We all want to be happy. I bet there is no single person who intentionally chooses to be unhappy. However, so many people in this world are not happy for one reason or another. In order to be happy, this is what we have to ...read more

    A Greeting Of Grace Series

     | 7,942 views

    Although Paul was imprisoned, he sought to encourage the church at Philippi. He urged them to focus on Christ and His grace. Like Paul, we need to encourage others while keeping our focus on the Lord. He must be central to all we do.

    A Greeting of Grace Philippians 1: 1-2 Today as we begin to move through this precious epistle, verse by verse, I want to remind us of the context in which it was written. Paul is bound in a Roman prison, awaiting trial, facing accusations regarding his faith. He is no longer free to go and come ...read more

    A Disciple Making Community

    Contributed by Malcolm Rogers on Apr 23, 2016
     | 6,111 views

    The risen Jesus commands us to be a disciple making, grace offering and teaching, learning, obedient people who by faith know that he is always with us

    It is good on this sort of occasion to go back to basics and to remind ourselves what sort of community we are called to be. And for that I have turned to the last few words of Matthew’s gospel and what is known as the great commission. The disciples have gathered together and Jesus has said ...read more

    The Heart Of God's Man (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2020
     | 4,118 views

    The heart of a pastor is unique. In this enlightening text, Paul shares his heart for the church in Thessalonica. Through his candid and honest words, we find a description of what a pastor's heart should contain.

    The Heart of God’s Man (Part 1) 1 Thessalonians 3: 1-13 The heart of a pastor is a very unique thing. He feels many of the same emotions anyone else does. It isn’t that the pastor is given something that is impossible for others to possess, but his heart is special because it is different. I ...read more

    In Hot Pursuit - What Are You Running After?

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 6, 2021
     | 6,036 views

    You can tell a lot about a person by what they are running after and what they are running from. Christians have a godly assignment even in a pandemic. .

    Paul, who is the writer of our text, provides instructions for the Philippian Church as they move forward to become the best that they could be for Christ. Rather than be complacent with where they were, they needed to set their sights higher. The Apostle Paul gives this church his personal ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,353 views

    As Jesus hung on the cross, between two condemned malefactors, He spoke words of grace to one who was repentant. In His dying moments, our Lord revealed the grace He came to secure for all who look to Him by faith.

    Today shalt Thou be with Me in Paradise Luke 23: 39-43 Last week we began our study of the seven sayings of Jesus upon the cross with the first of those, a prayer of forgiveness offered to God the Father. This morning we have come to the second of those gracious and powerful sayings, with a ...read more

    The Power of the Cross Sunday Sermon Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 1 Cor 1:20-24 In Jesus’ day, eastern people looked for a sign of some sort to tell them that God was doing something huge for them.

    Circumcision Of The Heart

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 26, 2021
     | 1,862 views

    It is not that belonging to the visible community of God’s people is unimportant. It is. But salvation is not won by any external associations. When we depend on such things, we become less than what God wants us to be.

    Alba 7-25-2021 CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART Romans 2:25-29 There is that old saying, “Do as I say, not as I do.” That doesn’t really work does it? Lately we have had some politicians live by that motto. They gave various restrictions for their communities, but didn't live by them, themselves. ...read more

    The Danger Of Isolation And The Delight Of Fellowship

    Contributed by Wayne Solomon on Mar 21, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,071 views

    “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?” John made this statement partly because he was isolated. Isolation is one reason behind the increase in crime, domestic violence, suicide and mental health illnesses during COVID 19.

    Theme: The Danger of Isolation and the Delight of Fellowship. Text: Matthew 11:1-3. Now it came to pass, when Jesus finished commanding His twelve disciples, that He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities. 2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent ...read more
