    Harmony Through Humility Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,644 views

    HOW CAN YOU ACHIEVE HUMILITY? BY CONTINUALLY CASTING YOU CARES UPON GOD.

    Humility is Self-effacing and it is Modest. It is quiet, reserved, shy, gracious, mild-mannered, and doesn’t believe it’s own press clippings. Humility is essential if you are a follower of Christ. Today’s Big Idea: Be Humble if You Want God to Work for You. “Clothe yourselves, all of you, with ...read more

    Cutting Through The Legalese Series

    based on 50 ratings
     | 5,708 views

    We look for loopholes in what God has called us to do, but the Bible calls us to a proactive lifestyle, it makes us face who we really are, and it calls us to accountability.

    Some of us love to take the simple and make it complex. Some of us thrive on taking perfectly obvious matters and making them as obscure as possible. My neighbor’s car has on it a bumper sticker that says, “Eschew obfuscation”. After about a half-hour with the dictionary, I found out that means, ...read more

    A message that precedes baptisms.

    Last week, I talked about how God put it into Phillip’s heart to leave a great harvest revival in Samaria to go to the deserts outside Jerusalem so he could talk to one person about Jesus Christ.

     | 8,009 views

    The trial & torture of Jesus reveal the extent to which Jesus was willing to go to carry out the plan of redemption, and teach rich doctrinal truths about the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus for our sins. This sermon explores those truths, and imagines a retrial of Jesus today.

    Christians are united in the peace of Christ so that the church may be effective; we must therefore live in the peace God intended and made possible.

    It took 125 years, but the infamous feud between the Hatfields and McCoys finally ended; sixty descendants of the original clans gathered on Saturday, June 14, 2003, in Pikefield, Kentucky, to sign a document declaring an official end to more than a century of hatred and bloodshed.

    based on 24 ratings
     | 8,767 views

    Jesus’ discussion with Pilate during His trial has some powerful messages about power and about truth.

    I’m always astounded at that point in the narrative of Christ’s final hours when Pilate says to Him: “Don’t you realise I have power either to free you or to crucify you?” To which Jesus replies, using the WJB paraphrase version of the Bible: “You’re kidding aren’t you? You … power over ME! Not ...read more

    A Legacy Through Mentoring

     | 3,111 views

    It is difficult to cross generational lines; and yet, we are supposed to share the love of Christ with the next generation (Psalm 71:17-18). One way to minister to the succeeding generation effectively is through mentoring.

    When we become older we start pondering our spiritual heritage and faith in Jesus Christ, and we begin to wonder whether or not the succeeding generations will carry on what we have learned. So, we try to provide young people with exposure to our worship services, hoping that our values and ...read more
