Funeral (Celebration) For A Long-Time Member

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 30, 2023

This is a funeral for a woman who was a good and long-time member of our church who died rather suddenly.

One of the ways in which the Apostle Paul supported his ministry was through donations from the various churches, but his main income came from the work of his own two hands.

The New You Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Jan 12, 2023

in the midst of your suffering look forward to your completed, celestial, and Christlike body.

Several years ago (2013), The Week magazine quoted TV chef Anthony Bourdain, who advised, “Your body is not a temple, it's an amusement park. Enjoy the ride.” Then they posed the question: “What would be a good name for a theme park ride based on the typical American's body?” Here were ...read more

What Is Salvation

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Dec 17, 2022

People often ask, have you been saved? Do we even know what that means?

What is salvation? How does it work? In Greek the word for Savior or Deliverer is s?t?? (soter) and so we call the study of salvation soteriology. The word save means to liberate, deliver or rescue. We must look at the context to understand what kind of salvation is being referred to. Temporal ...read more

"Real Love… Talking About That Real Love”

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on May 29, 2025

A New Year’s Examination

Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 10, 2024

With a new year comes a time for self-examination of your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ghosted Him? Have you friend zoned Him? Or do you have a loving relationship with Him?

It is our tradition in this church, as well as many others, to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” Being that this is the first ...read more

A Comprehensive Study On Salvation And The Authority, Promises, Privileges, Rights, And Eternal Destiny Of Every Born-Again Christian - Part 2 Series

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 1, 2025

What a person believes about God is the most important thing contained in their mind. It affects everything about them. Specifically, what they believe about God shapes them spiritually, emotionally, and physically.

He was the Lamb of God slain from the foundations of the world that would take away our sins. People of Jesus' day did not know about that. And so as it was ...read more
