Those Bones, Those Bones! (Hix)

Contributed by Jimmy Haile on Oct 20, 2012

Eyes seeing, ears hearing, feet walking, mouths talking, but dead without God. Rubbing elbows with the dead, that's why we have jobs, school, and shopping, and doctor appointments, to reach out to those who are dead!

Surely Jesus Didn't Mean That!

Contributed by Greg Nance on Apr 5, 2008

Hate your parents, spouse, kids??? What is going on here in Luke 14? Before we decided to change the Word of God, consider the unthinkable with me for a bit. It might just open our eyes to a deeper understanding of who Jesus is.

Where Do I Find Jesus Series

The Danger Of The Familiar Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Mar 28, 2010

Often our faith becomes stale. We can get so accustomed to things as they are and we become comfortable with our faith and in doing se we get stuck. This message challenges us to look at faith issues through fresh eyes.

“The Danger of the Familiar” Matthew 21:1-11 In the Episcopal church and also in the Catholic church they use phrases in the service that become very familiar to the congregation because they use these phrases over and over. In addition they also chant or sing the words. As a young ...read more

Finishing Well

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 15, 2016

Bad things happen even to Christians. Yet, we are not alone. God places us in the family of faith. And as we keep our eyes on Jesus, we can endure anything, for his sake, knowing our faith will be rewarded, if not in this life, then in the next.

You Are A Beloved Disciple Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

This morning I want to address the topic of our identity in Christ, concerning how we are a people covered by grace, and how we are deeply loved and cherished. Many believers walk about feeling defeated. They come down hard on themselves and never accept the forgiveness that God wants to offer ...read more

Barzillai Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on Jul 23, 2013

The word ‘help’ is pretty rare in a society that turns a blind-eye and deaf-ear to the cries and pleas of people in need! This being the scenario, ‘help during times of danger’ is a rare commodity that we seldom hear of.
