    Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Series

    The cycle, which began in Egypt continued: • God does something great….. The people rejoice. • An apparent obstacle appears…. The people complain. • God does something great….. The people rejoice.

    March 08, 2025 Last week, we left Israel on the edge of the desert of Shur. They had just witnessed the power of God in the destruction of the Egyptian Army in the Red Sea and now the greatest adventure of their lives was about to begin. What do you think the people expected? An easy, pothole ...read more

    Justified By Faith Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 29, 2026
     | 48 views

    Within this passage, Paul beautifully defends salvation by faith in Christ alone, apart from any works of man. Many seek to add to the gospel, but Paul argues biblically that salvation is based in personal faith in the finished work of Christ.

    Justified by Faith Galatians 2: 11-21 Our text today reveals Paul’s continued struggle with the legalistic Judaizers and their expectations regarding salvation. The Judaizers refused to accept salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. Unfortunately, their influence affected the early ministry of ...read more

    Walk In Righteousness

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 3, 2025
     | 606 views

    We live in the midst of a rapidly changing culture, one that has no desire for that which is righteous and holy. The church is being pressured to abandon the truths of Scripture in order to conform to the dictates of the culture.

    Walk in Righteousness Ephesians 5: 3-7 In our last study, Paul admonished believers to follow the Lord, literally being imitators of God. In order to accomplish such an enormous task, we must walk in the love of Christ the Lord. Those who are purposefully following the Lord and walking in the love ...read more

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Sep 16, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,805 views

    Some believe godly living, great faith and positive thinking will exempt them from trials. How do you respond when you are living your best, walking by faith, serving God and the bottom falls out? We respond in Faith!

    Isa 38:1 “In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. 2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, 3 And said, ...read more

    Shall We Gather At The River? Series

    Contributed by Mark Schaeufele on Apr 24, 2024
     | 1,305 views

    But the key here is that Paul went where the people were gathered and told them about Jesus.

    SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER Text: Acts 16:11-15 Introduction 1. Illustration: One afternoon in July of 1864, pastor Dr. Lowry of the Hanson Place Baptist Church, in Brooklyn, N.Y. wrote the hymn “Shall We Gather at the River.” This old hymn became a favorite of film maker John Ford, and is ...read more

    Living A Surrendered Life

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 20, 2024
     | 2,224 views

    As believers, we are to live out the transformation that has taken place on the inside. It is easy to state that one is a believer and follower of Christ; it is an entirely different matter to live in such a way that others can see evidence of the professed relationship with Christ.

    Living a Surrendered Life Ephesians 4:25-32 We have discussed much in recent weeks regarding the obligations and responsibilities of believers within the body of Christ. Paul has painted a detailed picture of how the church should look and the witness presented unto a watching world. While the ...read more

    It Is A Big Thing To Give Thanks To God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,360 views

    Jesus clearly teaches us that gratitude opens the door for more blessings in your life.

    Introduction HOW DO I STRUGGLE WITH THIS? Saying thank you is hard! Look at young children, it is not a natural response for a child to say thank you. Children are expecting; they are not appreciating. Children are expecting when they go with you to Wal Mart and you past the toy aisle that you are ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Weatherby on Nov 14, 2021
     | 3,539 views

    This message looks at John 15 on the Vine and the Brances, and our need to be connected to Christ and to bear fruit.

    Gratitude For The Faithful

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 10, 2019
     | 4,244 views

    Writing to the "elect lady," John was aware of the delicate balance needed to show grace to those who had wronged her while refusing to compromise her convictions and faith. We must love others, but we cannot compromise our faith for the favor of men.

    Gratitude for the Faithful 2 John 1-4 Our text today comes from the second general epistle the apostle John wrote. Along with the gospel that bears his name, and Revelation, John also wrote 1, 2, and 3rd John. It is believed to have been written around AD 85-95, near the end of John’s life. ...read more

    The Christian And Their Family Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 9,632 views

    The Christian family was a revolution in Paul's day and should be so today.

    The idea of the traditional family gets a “bad rap” in today’s society. I heard of a little girl who had just returned from seeing the movie, “Cinderella.” She was telling her elderly neighbor lady about the movie. At one point she said, “And do you know how the movie ends?” To which the older ...read more

    Rapture Suspense

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 7, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,647 views

    The Bible tells of a man kept in suspense all his life -- waiting for the moment Jesus would come. Since we're waiting like he did, there's a lot of lessons we can learn from him; why God chose him, how he waited daily, and what happened when he saw Jesus

    RAPTURE SUSPENSE Lk. 2:25-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: SUSPENSE JOKE 1. A man came to the border of a country on his bike. He had three large sacks in the basket. The border guard asked him, "What's in the sacks?" "Sand." The guard searched through the sand and couldn't find anything. 2. A week ...read more
