    Jesus presents an opportunity to choose. His message drew the line, fear warns us away, but it is up to our choice whether we follow Him.

    * Remember, this man was born blind. * Jesus’ disciples asked the current-day riddle, “what sin caused this man to be born blind?” * Jesus said, “Not his sin nor his parents, but for the glory of God to be seen.” * Then Jesus spit, applied and instructed. * The man obeyed and could see. * Those who ...read more

    A sermon on how Jesus portrayed his deity throughout the Bible.

    Who’s the man this morning? Amen! If you were to ask the people you know that question, who is Jesus you would get some wild answers.

    Jesus gave everything, we too should choose to give and serve one another in love.

    Tonight I want to start out by having a little brain storming session. I have a blank card for each of you that I want to pick one of the sides and write the word “serve” at the top. Now, I want us to take a minute or two and just write down all the things that come to your mind when you hear this ...read more

    With GPS we can know within 1 foot of where we are on planet Earth. But do we know where we are with God? Sin blinds us to our location and prevents us from know the way, but it is God who seeks us and asks us "where are you?"

    How many of you know what this is? (hold up a paper/fold out road map). We use to navigate all of the country with these. Now we have our smart phones with GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS systems have become very cost efficient and everyone , it seems, has access to one. The satellite system ...read more

    To make the most of our walk with God we will need to look in three directions and answer three questions.

    Last Sunday we spoke on Making the Most of the Time We Have. Time is precious. We really are not here on this earth for very long. We are like when you go to turn the light switch on, and the bulb is shot. One day it will eventually happen. So, how can we make the most of the time we have? ...read more

    The ability to forgive is the ability to recieve forgiveness.

    Last Tuesday, April 19th, this country observed a very difficult anniversary, and for most of us it passed by without a thought. It was April 19th 1995 that we suffered the atrocity of the Oklahoma City Bombing. As I was thinking about our sermon today I ran across a story from that event that I ...read more

    Where Are You?

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,713 views

    This sermon examines God's question in Genesis 3:9: "Where are you?" It looks at where are Adam and Eve in relation to God. It looks at where we are, and where God can be found. This sermon also uses the analogy of Hide and Seek to advance the thought.

    For some reason, it seems that every kid loves the game, “Hide and Seek.” My siblings have always enjoyed it. My cousins have always liked it, and it is one of my nephew’s favorite games. The children of my friends always want me to play it with them as well. Kids love to hide, and then to be ...read more

     | 9,605 views

    This lie promotes the idea that we are destined to be who we are. You feel trapped in whatever sin you may be engaged in and you believe you'll never change. But God says, "No, that's not true. You may feel you were born that way, but God says you must be 'born again.'"

    OPEN: A young boy was being punished, and one of the punishments wasthat he was forbidden to go swimming. One day he came home with his hair wet and his mother demanded an explanation. “I fell in the lake,” he said. “Really? (she said). Then why AREN’T your clothes wet?” He grinned and said: “Well… ...read more
