    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. NIV 2 Sam 22:36 36 You give me your shield of victory; you stoop down to make me great. As we grow together through the ministries of Open ...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

    Sin Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jan 18, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,474 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

    Love, The Infallible Test Of Salvation Series

    Contributed by Jack Perkins, D.min., Ladc, Csac, Cclc on Aug 5, 2021
     | 1,982 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? How we process the anarchy in our society? How do you explain Columbine? Families wounded by divorce? ...read more

    Simon, Simon

     | 2,657 views

    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
     | 260 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

    Matthew 4:1-11 The Temptation of Jesus Manuscript Last time I preached from Matthew we looked at Matthew 3:13-17: Jesus’ baptism. We looked at baptism in general as well as Jesus’ baptism.

    God’s Word to the Graduate is intended to be an encouragement to graduating seniors who are embarking upon college, career, military service or marriage.

    Graduating seniors, you are coming to the most intense crossroads of your life. You will become almost intoxicated by the newly acquired freedoms, and you will become frantic as you realize that you are basically on your own. I believe one of the most applicable scripture texts for your situation ...read more

     | 9,002 views

    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

    The world’s hardest job is being a father.

    JOB 1:1-8 "FILLING A FATHER’S SHOES" A) If you were asked to name the world’s hardest job, what would you say it is? * Serving as president of the U.S.? * Heading up the United Nations? * Serving Jesus Christ somewhere as a missionary or as a pastor?

    We must see Jesus and hear His voice in the midst of the storms of life. He will enable us to stay above the challenges if we stay focused on Him, all the way.

    Jesus reached out His hand and grabbed Peter, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” (14:31) • This line is a revelation - if Peter had not doubted, he would have been walking still. • If he had not allowed the wind to distract him, he could have reached Jesus, still afloat. According to Jesus’ ...read more
