    Uniting The Body

    Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Apr 7, 2021
     | 1,753 views

    We need to stop the dividing of the Body for carnal reasons. You cannot believe that Jesus is pleased with our dissecting His Body for our selfish agendas.

    For those who follow me, you know every morning I listen to the pastor of Times Square Church in NYC. The congregation of over 8K are from 100+ nationalities. That is deemed impossible by common consensus of church people who say we need seeker churches adapted to various subcultures and ...read more

    The Faithfulness Of God

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 2, 2021
     | 3,385 views

    What greater advantage in life could one ask for than to possess the writings of God and possess the prophets, priests and scribes whose duty it was to explain, proclaim, and transmit them to the people?

    Alba 8-1-2021 THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD Romans 3:1-8 Doesn't it seem that there are people who are born with special advantages over others? Some seem to be born with the proverbial silver spoon in their mouth. Somehow, that sounds uncomfortable. But I think it would be better than having ...read more

    Moses Returns To Egypt Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 4, 2022
     | 2,818 views

    Moses didn't want this call to deliver Israel from oppression. It was 40 years ago he stepped out to take on the role of deliverer. It wasn't God's will at that time and the plan failed. Now 40 years later he has a fear to try again.

    Receiving a call to serve God is never enough. We must respond in obedience. There was a very dramatic call experience for Moses. We know it as the burning bush call. Each person has a unique call of God, but the burning bush call for Moses stands out. What does not stand out in Moses’ call are ...read more

    How To (Mis)interpret The Bible

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 9, 2022
     | 1,629 views

    While this passage teaches about divorce, it also provides an interesting case study in how believer manipulate what the Bible says for their own benefit. We'll look at five aspects of that.

    - Probably the most obvious way to preach this passage would be to preach a sermon about what the Bible says about divorce. That’s an important subject, but I’m interested in something else as I dig in. - This passage provides an interesting case study into how we interpret (or, more accurately, ...read more

    This story places the Israelites’ emotional development pretty squarely in the adolescent stage, because they behaved just like a bunch of teenagers left too long with the keys to the wine cellar.

    How many of you have children? Did you have any idea, while you were painting the nursery and picking out your first set of onesies, how much of your life would get taken over? Children take a huge amount of time and attention. And of course it gets worse when they start to crawl and then to walk ...read more

     | 2,239 views

    This morning we are tackling an important topic that really permeates our culture. We hear about it on talk shows, we see ads during the election cycles, and social media is filled with it. The reality is that we live in a world that is looking and judging others.

    Opener: Good morning Church ! We here this morning to celebrate our Lord! Today we are beginning a new 3 week series entitled Nuggets from the sermon on the mountain.

    Do we really believe that most non-Christians are lost? Psalm 74:20 says “The dark places of the earth (where the love of God is not known) are full of the habitations of cruelty.” (selfishness, hatred, greed, strife, & violence.) Do they need a Savior, too? YES!

    In Gideon we see a truth about EXCUSES!! What is an excuse? It is A LIE WRAPPED UP IN AN EXPLANATION and you think because you have some explanation that makes the lie less ugly and more acceptable.

    GO, in the Strength YOU have Judges 6:11-14 It is really intriguing how God writes a sermon. This sermon comes out of a discussion I had with Shawn about why God blesses some churches and not others. But then, it also comes out of a book I read about Gideon. It started out as a sermon about one ...read more

    I suspect there was one last "excuse" Moses had for why he didn't want to obey God. Do you know what that excuse might have been?

    There was an advertising tycoon Albert Lasker who asked one of his top executives to move from California to the New York office. The man refused. He didn’t want to move. He liked it right where he was. A couple days later, Lasker changed tactics. He brought the executive into his office and ...read more

     | 7,945 views

    God is raising up His Church to reclaim the Seven Mountains of Societal Influence. He is calling the Church back to the basics. Our spiritual foundations need some work. This message forces us to take a serious look at what we call the Gospel today.

    Luke 14:21-23 INTRODUCTION • God is serious about Kingdom building. No excuse for non-participation will do. • We are Ambassadors (carriers of the message) of Faith DEFINITIONS • Compel - To drive or urge with force, or irresistibly; to constrain; to oblige; to necessitate, either by physical ...read more

    To be a biblical church we have to stop making excuses for not serving and just get involved.

    FOCAL POINT: A BIBLICAL CHURCH ME: It has been about 10 years ago since I took a speech class in college. At that point in time, I really hated standing up in front of people and talking about anything. In fact, I even skipped class once so I did not have to give a speech. I never would have ...read more
