    Heaven's Open Door Policy

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 3, 2025
     | 606 views

    The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

    We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

    Relying on God’s strength and prayer, not our own efforts, equips us to stand firm and face life’s battles with confidence and peace.

    Friends, you made it here today—some with a spring in your step, some with a sigh in your chest, and some just barely holding it together. That’s okay. God loves honest hearts. Maybe you’ve been standing in a storm: the phone call you didn’t expect, the bill you can’t pay, the diagnosis you don’t ...read more

    We need to let our faith shine at work in the way we work. Jesus gave us the example of how to face unjust adversity!

    Love - The Greatest Of All Series

     | 7,879 views

    To really understand the "love chapter," a person has to read it in context. All the problems the Corinthians were facing in the church could be corrected by love.

    Introduction: A. One day an elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. 1. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their face painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. 2. A girl in line turned to the ...read more

    Often when faced with obstacles and tests as Christians, we tend to respond by what we feel or think but Scripture teaches us a better way - a way to always be victorious.

    Introduction: By simply being human beings we are going to face struggles throughout our lives. Some will be small and we’ll barely notice them but others will seem like tsunamis that threaten to drown us. As Christians these struggles take on a different air. Yes, even those who are not ...read more

    Jesus dealt with a woman who faced a desperate situation. She had faced an infirmity for twelve long years, and spent all she had in search of healing. When all she had left was faith, she discovered that she had all she needed.

    The Touch of Deliverance Mark 5: 24-34 As we continue through Mark’s gospel, we come to a woman who faced great difficulty in life. This account takes place within the intense moments for Jairus as he waited for Jesus to make it to his house and heal his young daughter. As we examine the ...read more

    Let us be like Christ Jesus and be transformed —in our hearts and minds — into the gloriousness of God; and let us reflect the light and love of God for all to see, so that those with veiled faces can see the glorious face of God in us, and desire that to

    INTRO Ya know, sometimes it’s good for us to get out of our environment to see the glory of God, and to be even more thankful for all he’s done and given, for that which he is doing now, and forevermore will do for all of creation. I have to say, going on vacation last weekend to ...read more

    Jesus didn't always do things the way people expected Him to, including healing. Sometimes Jesus' healing was painful because it required people to face truth about themselves that people just don't like to face.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK As we look at our world today, we realize that many people carry incredible burdens. Hearts are broken from disappointments & betrayal. Stress, loneliness, & anxiety are rampant. Addiction to alcohol & drugs is at an all time ...read more

    How Prepared Are We, Really?

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Oct 24, 2020
     | 5,372 views

    In the parable of the 10 virgins, the whole point is being ready - truly ready - for coming face to face with Jesus - either when He returns or when we go to Him. This message, which relies heavily on William Barclay for context and content in the first part, explores this theme.

    How Prepared Are We For Jesus? If we look at this parable with western eyes, it may seem an unnatural and a "made-up" story. But it actually telt tells a story that could have happened at any time in a Palestinian village and which could still happen today. A wedding was a great ...read more

    Dealing Wisely With Unbelief & Opposition Series

     | 4,408 views

    If we stand for Jesus, we will inevitably face the same kind of opposition that He did. How do we respond? His example gives us a clue as he faces both the unbelief of his own family, and the deadly opposition of israel's leaders.

    It’s been more than 20 years ago now since I initiated a lawsuit in the name of the church against the Washoe County School District.

    We see that Paul is faithful to Jesus Christ in whatever his circumstance. He faced numerous attempts on his life. He was on trial and struck in the face. In all these hardships Paul remained steadfast and whenever he had the chance, he shared the gospel with Governor Felix.

    The Background of Paul before Felix Here we find Paul in Caesarea standing before Felix the governor. Paul recently completed his third missionary journey and now he is beginning his Jerusalem to Rome ministry. Right before he went to Jerusalem, he stopped in Caesarea to visit Philip the ...read more

    Traveling over a 1,000 miles thru hostile tribes, broad rivers, & trackless deserts, only by night, risking death or slavery, three SEEKERS risked everything to meet Jesus. The Holy Spirit led them until they came face to face with God!

    THE THREE SEEKERS Mt. 2:1-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR #1 1. This week I heard about a minister who delivered a sermon in twenty minutes one Sunday morning -- about half the usual length of his sermons. 2. He told his congregation, “Sorry my sermon is so short, but my dog, who is fond of eating ...read more

    Judas Iscariot lived together with Jesus and other disciples for more than three years. They ate, prayed, and traveled together. They have built a strong relationship and spiritual bond. How could he betray Jesus?

    Today we will discuss this topic: “Judas Iscariot, a Blessed and a Cursed Man,” taken from Mark 14:43-52. Who is Judas Iscariot? The Bible and history do not provide much information about the origin of Judas. What is certain is that he was one of the twelve men that the Lord Jesus chose to be His ...read more
