    Scared Straight #1: Supernatural Stories Of Scripture Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 26, 2020
     | 3,327 views

    It's incredible how many events are recorded in scripture. However, this often represents a hurdle for people who have only recently picked up a bible. They read unfathomable stories of power and provision. It can almost seem like a set of childhood fairy tales.

    Over the next few weeks, we will be looking at the supernatural. It's incredible how many events are recorded in scripture. However, this often represents a hurdle for people who have only recently picked up a bible. They read unfathomable stories of power and provision. It can almost seem like ...read more

    This sermon reveals how we are to be willing to empty ourselves for the cause of Christ in service to others.

    Broken and Spilled Out John 12: 1 - 8 Intro: My first visit to the Palace of Versaille in France I was overwhelmed by the extravagance. Why? Take a moment to think about what the most extravagant thing you have ever done for yourself or someone you love. Hold that thought! I. Mary teaches ...read more

    No Greater Love Series

    Contributed by Ron Tuit on Mar 18, 2015
     | 6,272 views

    Probably the most familiar verse in the Bible, John 3:16, gives God's motive and means to provide salvation for a sinful human race.

    No Greater Love John 3:16 How can a person escape hell and go instead to heaven? The answer is given through the very basic message of Jesus and Christianity: It is not by devoting yourself to religious activities, morality, virtue, philosophy or philanthropy but by faith in the works of Christ. ...read more

    For A Little Guy, He Turned Out To Be A Pretty Big Man

    People won't always like us and they shut us out, but Jesus will not reject us.

    There are people in this world who just never fit in, who never find a place, who never get invited. Charlie brown for instance. Here’s a typical scene from his life: Charlie Brown is walking along when he approaches two girls. One of them says, “Well, what are you doing here?” Then both girls ...read more

    What are we willing to do selflessly for the love of Jesus?

    Done For Love John 12: 1 - 8 Intro: As I worked on this sermon, I heard in my head a song from “A Chorus Line.” I can imagine Mary singing this song later in her life. It goes like this, “Kiss today goodbye, the sweetness and the sorrow. Wish me luck, the same to you. But I can’t regret what ...read more

    Give God What Is His (November 14, 2021)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 11, 2021
     | 2,775 views

    Since we are made in God’s image (Genesis 1:26,27) all of who we are belong to God! How well and how often do we take that timeless advice---giving to God what belongs to Him?

    Matthew 22:15-21  Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said.  (16)  So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no ...read more

    Jesus is the “Transformer”, and through his abundant grace we are transformed from plain old water into the finest of wine.

    Water into Wine A minister is driving and he’s stopped for speeding. The state trooper smells alcohol on his breath, and sees an empty wine bottle on the floor, and he says, “Sir, have you been drinking?” And the minister says, “Just water.” The trooper says, “Then why do I smell ...read more

    Waste Or Worship?

    based on 16 ratings
     | 4,492 views

    Mary’s annointing Jesus with expensive ointment was worship to Jesus and an outrageous waste to Judas. What does this tell us about the worship we offer, or how we evaluate others’ worship?

    Sixth Sunday in Lent: Palm Sunday Readings: Isa. 52:13-53:12,;Psalm 24; Phi. 2:5-11; Matt. 26:1-16 Waste, or Worship? About seven years ago, my daughter Alexa went on a summer missionary trip.

    Give God What Is His (October 22, 2017).

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 5,794 views

    Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

    GIVE GOD WHAT IS HIS Text: Matthew 22:15 - 22 How many times have you heard someone say something like, “I only have to do two things, pay taxes and die”? Now they even have a new tax added on which is called by some a “death tax” which means that they tax the estate that is on by a ...read more
