The Urgency Of The Emergency Series

Contributed by Larry Johnson on Sep 13, 2025

I woke up with pain so sharp I could hardly walk, sit, or even sleep. Finally, my wife insisted we go to the emergency room. That day I learned something: just because something is an emergency does not mean it is urgent, and just because something is urgent does not mean it is an emergency.

“The Urgency of the Emergency” Mark 5:21-42 Dr. Larry D. Johnson Introduction: A few weeks ago, I woke up in excruciating pain. My back was giving me a fit. I could not walk; I could not stand. It hurt me to sit; I could not sleep. I mean, I was hurting. When I had gotten to a point where the pain ...read more

The Wounds Of Jesus.

Contributed by Timothy Ogada on May 3, 2025

First and foremost, may all glory be to God for helping us see and go through this Stewardship week of prayer. Special thanks to my family; my wife Christine, my best friend and the mother to my children, is one human being that is better than me in so many ways. I love her.

The topic is, THE WOUNDS OF JESUS. Just a little history about crucifixion: Crucifixion was invented by the Persians in 300-400BC and developed, during Roman empire times, into a punishment for the most serious of criminals.

Farewell Address -- Kissing Frogs

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Sep 15, 2018

Farewell Address at dinner by the Parish for my wife Lee and I. It has some humor yet I believe it touches the heart of who we are called to be in Christ. At the end I passed out 125 Red Wax Lips and and 125 signs that state "I Kiss Frogs" with a picture of a frog with big red lips.

It just wouldn't feel right ... if I didn't begin with ... a story. And at the end of the story ... there is a little surprise ... that just might require a group picture. Well ... This short discourse is called ... "Kissing Frogs" Ever feel like a Frog? Frogs feel slow, ... low, ... ...read more

On The Catwalk Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 13, 2012

The catwalk is a tool that fashion houses use to display their best products. And II Corinthians tells us that God has His own kind of "catwalk" that he leads us down in "triumphal procession." Why is God "showing us off" like this? And what is He selling

Many of you know of Benjamin Franklin, one of the fathers of our country, was also the ambassador to France. And while he was in France, he was a member of a literary society.

Funeral Service: Step-Up

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 5, 2022

“Had I given up in that season of the loss of my first wife, had I given up and thrown [away] [God’s] strength and just started to living into addictions and living into my feelings and going out and living how I wanted to, I would not be living in the promises that I’m living today.”

The spiritual step-up is increasing one’s faith and prayer life and service to God when a tragedy or trial hits you, like the death of a loved one. Admittedly, when life gets too heavy, it's hard to step up, so Jesus invites us to lighten our load so we can take a step in faith. And, Anna, ...read more

The Empty Promises Of Idolatry Series

Contributed by Matt Black on Oct 22, 2019

We were created to have pleasure in God, but we seek pleasure in a thousand other places. As we consider Gomer (Hosea's wife) in the book of Hosea who was an adulterer, let’s consider how God can deliver all of us out of our idols and the things that take the place of God in our lives.

What is idolatry? Webster’s Dictionary defines it as: 1. The worship of idols, images, or anything made by hands, or which is not God. And 2. an immoderate attachment or devotion to something in the place of God. D. L. Moody put it this way: “Whatever you love more than God is your idol. Rich and ...read more

The Creation Of Man And Woman - Parts 2 & 3 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 6, 2021

This is a two-part sermon. God also gave man full dominion over God’s creation on earth. As the pinnacle of creations, man was appointed as managers, if you will, over God’s beautiful creation. It was man who relinquished that dominion over to Satan.
