    Aligning ourselves with God, as opposed to going against His Word.

    THE PLUMB-LINE TEST. Amos 7:7-17. When I was at High School, we were building a garage. We were taught how to mix mortar, lay bricks, and to check everything was lined up straight with a plumb-line. The work had been begun by those of the Year above mine: but in mid-January 1968 ‘Hurricane ...read more

    Spiritual warfare is always continuing around us. Weather you want to fight or not you are in inlisted in the war. All believers in Jesus are either continually under attacked or conquered by our spiritual enemy.

    The Shield of Faith Eph 6:16… above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to Eph 4:27-28 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.

    Sin Series

     | 6,320 views

    Sin is essentially wanting to replace God with something else and that leads to all sorts of consequences. Only God has the cure

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. Sin isn’t the most popular term in our world today is it, ...read more

    God wants complete obedience to His word. In return for our reentant behavior, we are forgiven.

    Obedience and Forgiveness Matthew 21:23-32 Introduction In our Gospel message today, we see a parable read to the chief priests and the elders of the people. They were looking to find a way to squash Jesus’ authority and stop the spread of His influence. For centuries, the Pharisees had ran the ...read more

    Love, The Infallible Test Of Salvation Series

     | 1,837 views

    The church has a different goal–we are to model for the world the authentic way to love. The spiritual quest we must follow is that Jesus calls us to be different. John suggest the failure to love extravagantly, as God first loved us, is perhaps one of the greatest sins.

    How do you explain the hatred and evilness in our society? How do you comprehend the hatred between the Jews and Palestinians? How can we support the evilness we see on the political scene?

    The very first thing that I noticed about our text is the doubling of Simon’s name in Jesus’ statement, “Simon, Simon”.

    The doubling of words almost sounds like people when they stutter. Often people who stutter repeat their words. I love to hear people who stutter. I do not mean that in a derogatory way, I REALLY ENJOY HEARING PEOPLE TALK WHO STUTTER. Illus: A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes ...read more

    Worshiping At The Temple Of Aphrodite Series

    Contributed by Darian Catron on Feb 21, 2025
     | 119 views

    Aphrodite, like so much of what the world worships, is a false god offering a very false and imperfect form of love. Versus the one true God that we believe in representing TRUE LOVE. Today we are going to be studying “The Love Chapter,” as it is called. 1 Corinthians chapter 13.

    INTRODUCTION: Over the last two Sundays we have been exploring what the Bible says about love… specifically the kind of love that God demonstrates for us, gives to us, and is for us. We talked about how there are different forms of love, some very shallow and feeling based, some that are more ...read more

    The third sermon in a series on the book of Malachi

    The question is: “Can you have a valid faith without being faithful?” The greatest issue we have found so far in our study of Malachi is that of disobedience. The people of Judah wanted to enjoy all the benefits of following God without any of the hassle that comes from playing by God’s rules. ...read more
