The Wages Of Sin Or The Gift Of God

Contributed by John Daniel Johnson on Feb 3, 2019

Every day of this life we have to make choices; whether to get up or stay asleep, to bathe or stink to high heaven, or to brush our teeth or let them rot out. However, there is only one real choice when it comes to eternity. What will you choose...The Wages of Sin or The Gift of God.

Thou Art The Christ

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2019

If Jesus wasn't the Christ, our faith would be in vain, and we would yet be without salvation. If He is the Christ, and we know He is, then He is the only source of hope for humanity. We all must deal with the question regarding the identity of Jesus. How we respond will affect our eternity.

Thou art the Christ Matthew 16: 13-16 As we continue looking at profound statements in Scripture, we come to an intimate moment with Jesus and His disciples. They have traveled from Bethsaida to Caesarea Philippi. It is here that Jesus asked a fundamental question – whom do men say that I am? ...read more

Location. Location. Location.

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Apr 28, 2015

Each of us is either “in Adam” or “in Christ.” That is why I have called my sermon Location. Location. Location. Where you are – what your location is – makes all the difference in the world, and, more than that, it makes all the difference in eternity.

James Montgomery Boice says that this is “possibly the most difficult [passage] in the Bible.” Great! Right? One thing’s for sure: Paul’s argument in these verses is dense and tight. One commentator begins by defining some of the terms in the text in hopes that that will ...read more

Samaritan Woman At Jacob’s Well Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 2, 2017

Jesus was tired from His journey. How perfectly human He was. John tells us, “The word was made flesh.” (John 1:14) Think of it! The eternal God, that created all things, left heaven, and came to earth, and now He is tired so He sets down to rest.

Let Your Voice Be Heard! Series

Contributed by Rick Crandall on Feb 12, 2018

Gaining A Heart Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 16, 2021

Life is short! We must invest our time in that which is of eternal value. All that glitters is not gold. The vanities of this world are of much less value than "gaining a heart of wisdom" (Ps. 90:12). This message leads into Jesus's parable about finding a treasure in Matthew 13:44.

What do you value most in life? The question is not what you should value most. The question is what do you value most in life? The answer to that question is not found in what we say we value. The answer is found in how we invest our lives—how we invest the precious minutes, hours, and days of ...read more

Sermon # 12 - The Way Of The Cross Part 1 - Dealing With Loneliness Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 9, 2025

There are so many people who are lonely because of various reasons. Jesus the Son of God, experienced loneliness and desertion too. Jesus died in our place to reconcile us back to God and has promised those who trust in Him that He will be with us from now to eternity, so we never need be alone.

We read in Mark 14:50, “And they all left Him and fled.” These messages for the next two or three weeks will focus on the way of the cross that Jesus had to undergo.

The King Is Coming

Contributed by Jason Bonnicksen on Apr 22, 2011

Jesus is the ever-present King who rode along the palm laden road to the Cross of Calvary in order to bear our shame. He came to declare he’s the way, the truth, and life, and he’s calling us to change our perception of him towards God’s eternal light.
