    OUR NEW LIFE IN CHRIST II Peter 1:1-2 Each one of us deserves death, judgment, and an eternity in Hell. But thanks to God’s mercy, we have been delivered from that fate.

     | 8,601 views

    God gives us the freedom to obey or disobey Him. When we choose our way, God does not abandon us. God directs the steps of those who delight in Him.

    1 Sam 9:15-17 - THINGS WE LEARN ABOUT GOD We get to know more about God, in seeing the way He deals with His people Israel. God had a plan for Israel, but the people felt they know better. • 8:6 “Give us a king to lead us…” They wanted a king for all the wrong reasons, ...read more

    From A Maniac To A Missionary Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jul 19, 2017
    based on 3 ratings
     | 22,437 views

    When life seemed hopeless for a man dwelling among the tombs and possessed with demons, Jesus brought deliverance. There is nothing too great or too small for the Lord. He is more than able to meet any need we have.

    From a Maniac to a Missionary Mark 5: 1-20 Our text follows the great miracle Jesus performed as He calmed the raging sea that arose while they sailed upon the Sea of Galilee. As we come to Chapter 5, we encounter several more miracles Jesus performed as He walked among men. We will find Him ...read more

    Assembling A Team - Mark 1:16-20 Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 22, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,885 views

    As Jesus began His ministry, one of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to serve alongside Him, men He could teach and equip to carry on the work of the church. The Lord is still seeking those who will follow Him in service.

    Assembling a Team Mark 1: 16-20 Following His baptism, wilderness temptation, and public introduction in Galilee, Jesus continued His work here on earth. One of the first priorities was to assemble a team of men to walk with Him, whom He could teach and prepare for ministry. In our text Jesus ...read more

    Faith In The Fire Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 2, 2017
     | 11,591 views

    The three Hebrew men faced a great dilemma - bow to the king's image or face the fiery furnace. When confronted by the king, they were quick to respond. Our God is able to deliver; but if He doesn't, we still won't bow. We need that type of faith today!

    Faith in the Fire Daniel 3: 12-27 As we continue the Conquerors series, one of the greatest accounts of overcoming insurmountable odds and obtaining victory is found in the book of Daniel. Along with Daniel and the majority of Judah, three young men had been taken captive into Babylon. While ...read more

    Bushes And Bare Feet

     | 8,725 views

    Christmas is about God revealing Himself to man, but it doesn't always happen at church.

    BUSHES AND BARE FEET EXODUS 3:1-6 WHEN YOU FIRST THINK ABOUT IT, YOU THINK THAT THE ACCOUNT OF MOSES AND THE BURNING BUSH IS A PECULAIR PASSAGE TO DEAL WITH THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS. THE TWO THOUGH AND OTHERS LIKE IT HAVE A COMMON CHARACTERISTIC. CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT GOD REVEALING HIMSELF TO ...read more

    A Profitable Endeavor

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,271 views

    Many today seek the latest method for spiritual renewal among the church, and church growth. There are countless new conferences, books, and blog articles annually. While I appreciate the hunger for growth, I fear we have over-complicated the matter.

    A Profitable Endeavor Acts 8: 5-8 Our text today deals with a time of great excitement for the early church, and yet there was great uncertainty as well. Stephen had been stoned for preaching the Gospel. Saul continued to persecute the church, scattering them throughout the world, but they ...read more

    Peace Through Contentment Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 11, 2017
     | 11,461 views

    Although facing great adversity, Paul had learned to be content. The Lord had been faithful to provide the strength he needed to endure whatever trials or difficulties he faced. We too can learn contentment and receive strength for our trials.

    Peace through Contentment Philippians 4: 10-13 Our text today offers a compelling and intimate look within the heart of Paul. This letter to the Philippian church was penned from a Roman prison. Paul was bound, and unable to minister freely as he once did. The possibility of execution loomed each ...read more

    Conspiracy With A Coin Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 6, 2018
     | 7,966 views

    As Jesus continued within the Temple, He was confronted about the lawfulness of paying taxes. Those who opposed Him sought to find further accusation. In Jesus' response, we find wisdom for our lives - taxes, tithes, and submission.

    Conspiracy with a Coin Mark 12: 13-17 As we continue through Mark’s gospel, I want to offer a reminder of the volatile environment in which Jesus walked at this time. He is in the last few days prior to the crucifixion. Having entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He had returned twice since, entering ...read more

     | 9,247 views

    The bible talks a lot about hope and as believers we have to understand the proper definition of God's hope.

    Hope Lived out Colossians 2:7-16 Introduction- This morning we have a lot of people hoping that their team wins the big game. Fly Eagles Fly… or Patriot Nation.

    A look at Joseph's place at the manger.

    There is no greater Christmas classic than Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life, and there is no greater Christmas character than poor George Bailey. He’s even referred to several times throughout the film as “poor George.” You’re probably familiar with the story. George Bailey is introduced to us ...read more

    A Big Misunderstanding Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,372 views

    There are times when we see and yet do not actually perceive; there are times when we hear, but fail to listen. Such was the case with the disciples. They thought Jesus was speaking of physical bread, but He was conveying spiritual truth.

    A Big Misunderstanding Mark 8: 10-21 Our text today immediately follows the miraculous feeding of the 4,000. Jesus departed from their midst to another region near the Sea of Galilee, and is quickly met with more opposition and doubt. I am well aware that our Lord came to earth, being fully God ...read more
