    This sermon was prepared to help the baptism candidates understand the meaning of baptism and why baptism is necessary. I prepared for the youth group, but it would apply to adults as well.

    Baptism like a wedding ring (at Youth Gathering) Baptism like a wedding ring: Just as a wedding ring symbolizes your marriage, Baptism symbolizes your identification with Jesus. Just as a wedding ring itself doesn't make you married, Baptism doesn't make you Christian. Just as a wedding ...read more

    God's Will Versus Our Will

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 25, 2021
     | 5,026 views

    Do we have ANY choice or is every aspect of our lives already been predetermined by God? Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and purposes are?

    Today I want to talk about God’s Will vs. Our Will. We are taught from the Bible that God gives us a free will. It is ours to choose. Sometimes what we choose is good and in the will of God, and other times what we choose is dead wrong. Maybe this message will answer a few of your questions. ...read more

    All Prepared

    Jesus warns us to assess the genuineness of our faith and be prepared for His return. Do we look like the Church, but are devoid of the Holy Spirit? Instead of lives transformed by the power of Christ, are our lives more like performance art? Jesus is coming at any moment! Are you prepared?

    INTRODUCTION Do you agree that in God’s master plan, there is no such thing as “coincidence”? A few weeks ago, your pastor asked if I would be willing to preach today. Not only did I tell him “Yes!” on the spot, but I also told him that I knew exactly what I wanted to preach. You see, God had ...read more

    Paul's Authority

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Feb 2, 2021
     | 1,380 views

    This sermon was the first one of a series on the book of Ephesians. It unpacks the first two verses. Specifically Paul's authority to write the letter, and the value of the specific recipients of the letter (i.e., who Paul would refer to as "Saints)."

    Good morning. We are beginning a new series on the book of Ephesians called The Church in Christ and the Church in Culture. In case you are not familiar with the book of Ephesians, it is actually a letter that the apostle Paul wrote to the church that he founded in the ancient city of Ephesus. ...read more

    You could not imagine a more clear-cut invitation to receive God’s free gift of eternal life than this final climactic invitation of the Bible. (Outlined from ICR's "Day's of Praise")

    Revelation 22:17 (KJV) And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. It’s at the end of all the history that we have known. It’s at the end of all things that will happen ...read more

    Learning to know God's will. What is its nature, how can I discern it?

    Question to be asked: I hear a lot of people say that God told them to do something. I also have a friend who says that she and God have an understanding when it comes to some of her choices.

    Love Of The Father, For The Son, For You

    Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Apr 1, 2021
     | 2,743 views

    It is because of the Love of the Heavenly Father that we receive love because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. The love of the Father for the Son is so strong and real. This love includes US! We receive the same relationship with God the father because of His love of the Son.

    Love of the Father for the Son for YOU John 3:35 (KJV) The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. The gospel of John, in a special sense, emphasizes the love in the divine Trinity of the heavenly Father for the Son. The words “love” and “Father” and “Son” occur more ...read more

    Hope For The Hopeless Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 5, 2021
     | 4,010 views

    God has given us the ability to feel the emotion of hopelessness, so that we will look for the ultimate source of hope. I believe that the resurrection of Jesus is the greatest source of hope in the universe.

    A. Happy Easter to everyone – I’m so thankful we get to worship the Lord on this Easter Sunday! B. As we get started, I want to share this cartoon – it really tickled me. 1.

    Open The Eyes Of Our Hearts

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 17, 2021
     | 3,518 views

    Paul spoke about the “eyes of the heart” being opened for all believers. How do we see God’s working in our lives? Do we have enough of God’s light in our lives to see His call on our lives? Do we have faith, and enlightenment, hope and power only as far as the eye can see?

    Ephesians 1:15 – 23:  I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love[a] toward all the saints, and for this reason 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of ...read more
