    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 17, 2022
     | 4,645 views

    This sermon focuses on denial of death by our culture and what should be the embracing of death by Christians.

    (Opens with song “O Death” from the movie “O Brother, Where Art Thou?”.) If you have your Bibles with you today and you want to open them up, we will be looking at John 11:25-26. It is going to take us a while to get there, but we will eventually get there. If you have been here for a while, ...read more

    Love And Truth - The Dynamic Duo! Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Jun 1, 2025
     | 361 views

    Today we are going to focus – maybe refocus on Love – John was called the apostle of Love and He knew love and truth had to be linked together to be able to live in a world which distorted both love and truth! The two are a dynamic duo!

    Love and Truth – The Dynamic Duo! Scriptures Texts: John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His One and only son that whoever believes in Him will have eternal life.” Loving someone God’s way always requires an Action! 1 John 3:16: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid ...read more

    In this conversation we will dive into what Jesus is actually saying to us in His teaching about the vine and the branches.

    You're Not The Vine John 15:1-11 OKAY – today we are going to conclude our series, ‘Powerful Passages…’ NOW – we will no doubt pick this up again and have a few powerful passages sequels sometime in the future, because there are so many passages that I would have loved to for us to dive ...read more

    Learn From Me Series

     | 15,973 views

    Jesus has called us to come to Him and to take His yoke because it is light and then says to each one of us to learn from Him. As the God/man he knows how to live life and he wants us to learn from Him. This is an introduction to the spiritual disciplines

    Many ask themselves when problems arise – "WWJD" – or "What would Jesus do?" Yet, sometimes that could be too late to be asking that question. As Christians, we figure that if we knew what Jesus would do—then we would know how to respond to a given situation. But there is a flaw in this line of ...read more

    How important is the resurrection to us as Christians? It may carry more importance than you thought.

    I love this particular season. Easter holds with me a special place. There is just something about this particular time, and what it means to Christianity, that somehow seems to excite me. One thing that is normal for Easter is that you get a lot of visitors to come to church. That can be ...read more

    Here we’ll consider one of Christ’s ’great and precious promises’ - His return.

    I WILL COME AGAIN! John 14:1-11 INTRODUCTION You know in our family, we have sort of a rule, and that is, that we never make promises. Because, you can have the very best intentions, but unforseen circumstances can cause you to unintentionally break that promise. If I say something like, ‘look I ...read more

     | 12,643 views

    Through Isaiah’s call to Israel to become the light of the world, and John’s recognition of the Christ, we see a model of vocational call that we can follow. God calls us all to different vocations, but one we are all called to is to pray.

     | 4,391 views

    This is about Jesus conversation with Nicodemus.

    It is perhaps the best known verse of the Bible. Almost anyone can quote it, at least in paraphrase. It is the verse that every child learns in Sunday school and VBS. I remember making a little wall plaque in Bible school with the verse on it. I remember that 15 to 20 years ago, you would see ...read more

    I’m concerned that as a nation we’ll hear the speeches, pay our respects, bow our heads, enjoy the music, & then return to business as usual – our lives unchanged, & God once again relegated to the back shelf.

    Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. In a society that embraces sin, how do we keep clean?
