Discerning The Source Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 17, 2023

John is saying there are and will be a lot of deep fakes in the world. Not everything that claims to be spiritual is genuinely spiritual. The big question is how will we be able to distinguish between what’s real and what’s fake? How do we know if something is from God or not?

Today, we come to the 4th sermon in our Walking with Jesus series. As we read through the book of 1 John, we see that God is not only preparing us for what we need for the present but also for the future. 1 John 4:1-21 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether ...read more

Revival Or Funeral

Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Feb 13, 2023

Revival is not a mystery, revival is God's answer to hungry hearts, and prevailing prayer. I say this with no fear of exaggeration, or of contradiction.... this is where we are in America right now. In this hour revival for the church is not an option, it is Revival or Funeral.

Ezekiel 42:20 He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place. The sanctuary represents that which is holy, sanctified, set apart... dedicated to God, and his service. The ...read more

The Lord's Prayer Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 18, 2023

This sermon is an exposition of "The Lord's Prayer." This prayer is sometimes called “The Model Prayer,” and it is an outline for prayer that all of us, as disciples of Jesus, should seek to follow when coming before the Lord with our petitions.

In our message this morning, we are going to look at what is called “The Lord’s Prayer.” And I want to get started by sharing how the gospel writer Luke prefaces this prayer. We read in Luke 11:1-2, “Now it came to pass, as [Jesus] was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His ...read more

How Christians Must Understand The Israel And Hamas Situation Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 10, 2023

The civilised nations are appalled at the horrible events in Israel in recent days, but Israel is the focus of God’s plans and God’s prophetic time clock. We look at how we as Christians can understand these events and what lies in the very near future for Israel and the Church.

HOW CHRISTIANS MUST UNDERSTAND THE ISRAEL AND HAMAS SITUATION One would have to be deaf and blind not to realise all the news on the terror situation in Israel. It is not my desire to recount the things that have happened, but it is my concern and desire to see all this from the Christian point ...read more

Blameless!!

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Feb 26, 2024

Wouldn't it be great to be blame-less? Considering all of the things that we have done in our life, it would not be likely that we could claim that title. Still, if there would be a way, why not at least check into it.

See Jesus Defeat The Devil

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 7, 2022

Because Christ fought the battle against Satan as one of us, he won that battle for all of us. Jesus is our perfect substitute. Even as the devil rages against us, we can face him and his temptations unafraid, confident that our champion, Jesus, has already won the victory over him.

David versus Goliath. Thousands of years after their brief battle it is still used to describe conflicts. You have probably heard the comparison several times in recent days following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Clearly Russia is Goliath and Ukraine David. But don’t we also regularly hear the ...read more

The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Aug 2, 2025

Because the race belongs to Christ alone, we are called not to carry its full weight but to run our leg with faithfulness—working, resting, and trusting that our part in God’s eternal plan matters.

The Race Is His But Your Faithfulness Matters Time is short, eternity is long, so live your life wisely Longevity is a grace—an extension of time from the hand of God. But with it often comes a sobering awareness: the words of Genesis 3:19 still echo through time—“for you are dust, and to dust ...read more

Time To Engage: "Being Missionary”

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Feb 23, 2025

The Bible teaches that every believer is to be missionary. Not “a” missionary, but missionary, which is telling people about the wonderful, amazing grace of God. In our message well look at the reasons why and how we go about being missionary.

Time to Engage “Being Missionary” 2 Timothy 4:1-5 One Sunday morning, a pastor began his sermon saying, “I’d like to make three points today.

Creation Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 21, 2022

Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 19, 2022

America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many religions and beliefs in our country today. The only God America has rejected is the God of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are the very soul of America. This is why the Ten Commandments are so important to the people of God.

If you have your Bible, turn to Exodus chapter 20. Today, we are going to begin a sermon series called, "The Ten Commandments: The Soul of America", starting with the message, "Thou Shalt Have No Other Gods". America has turned its back on the God of the Bible. There are so many ...read more
