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

    Contributed by David Nolte on May 13, 2021
     | 2,867 views

    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

    A sermon about worshiping God with all we have.

    “Love Has its Reasons” John 12:1-8 Our Gospel Lesson for this morning is really a continuation of John Chapter 11. If you didn’t read John Chapter 11 this past week—if you didn’t see the email I sent out-- I encourage you, when you go home today or sometime in the next few days, to read ...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
     | 2,657 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

    Waste Or Worship?

    Contributed by William Mouser on Mar 20, 2005
    based on 15 ratings
     | 4,005 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.

    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

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

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 5,696 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

    Mary Worshipped

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Apr 6, 2017
     | 7,613 views

    When we read of Mary the sister of Lazarus anointing Jesus with that alabaster jar of nard we often focus on who she was, the worth of the perfume, what the disciples said, etc. But we often overlook what Mary was actually doing.

    Matthew 26:6-16 (Please open your Bibles so that you can follow along) Two weeks ago we have took a look at Jesus clearing the temple of the livestock marketplace and currency exchange bank that had been set up in the temple in order to profit from the sacrifices and offerings which would be given ...read more

    We have lots of data stored up in our souls, but who know how to arrange it so it works as God intended—to form in us an accurate picture of God, life and all creations.

    Review: Last Sunday I spent some time talking about Rubik’s Cube—the 3-D puzzle made up of 26 little cube-like parts faced off with a total of six colors. The puzzle is solved when each face of the cube is showing a solid color. That sounds easy until you try it. The reason ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 5,788 views

    In a world which searches for answers and meaning for all the evil that takes place, we have a great promise and hope in the Lord Jesus Christ. This sermon series-‘God for us’ helps us understand that no matter what the situation, God is for us and nothing can separate us from His love

     The Parable of a Loving Father Usually we call this parable-the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The main point of the story varies as you look at it from different angles. In this parable we look at it from the loving father’s view and how He extends His grace to the one who didn’t deserved ...read more
