As The King Goes, We Go (Psalm 20) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 1, 2022

3 different applications: what do we trust in, how to view our leaders, and what it means that Jesus is our King.

Today we have the privilege of working through Psalm 20. This psalm is a little different from most that we've studied so far. The only one sort of like it, up to this point, is Psalm 2. This is a song that would've sung by the congregation-- by Israel-- for its Davidic king. Picture ...read more

Grant Me Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 7, 2022

God, grant me the wisdom to know the difference … and, as we shall see, therein lies the problem. I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t know the difference and I usually do the most harm to myself and to others when I think that I do.

[This is the third sermon on Reinhold Niebuhr's "The Serenity Prayer," asking God to grant us the wisdom to know what to accept and what to change. This was also preached on Communion Sunday, hence the lead up to Communion at the end.] Wisdom. What is wisdom? Well, let’s ...read more

The Cost Of Discipleship

Contributed by Wala-Neh Labala on Aug 14, 2022

What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and what will it cost you? In this sermon we learned that denying our selves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus, means letting go of self-preservation, self-determination, and self-identity.

********************************************************* THE COST OF DISCIPLESHIP Scripture Reading: “From that time on Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and that He must be killed and on ...read more

Forsaken Series

Contributed by Troy Borst on Nov 7, 2021

Jesus became forsaken. Jesus willingly became separated from God. God turned His back on His Son so that all our sins might be paid for.

Merry Christmas to your family and you! Christmas is just three days away – are you ready? Is everything wrapped and under the tree?

To Be Like Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 4, 2021

Can you imagine what a wonderful world this would be if every Christian lived like the Lord Jesus?

I love that song that we sing sometimes called, “TO BE LIKE JESUS”. This world is filled with people who only think of themselves but if everyone was like Christ this would be a world of LOVE AND COMPASSION!

God's Gift To Us: A Christmas Message Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Dec 22, 2021

No one lobbied Him as you would a senator. No one petitioned Him, as might your boss or your teacher. And no one solicited Him to do this as you might barter with someone in the marketplace. None of that was necessary for God, for the Father willingly offered up His one and only Son as a gift.

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! It’s at Christmastime that we give gifts, and we receive gifts. This is why retailers are so happy with Christmas in a way they’re not happy with the Fourth of July, for example or Easter. At the other holidays, we don’t give gifts like we do at Christmas. ...read more

Greatly Appreciated

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Sep 27, 2020

With social distancing, we've appreciated things like Face Time and Zoom. When businesses started opening up people appreciated them more than ever. But we shouldn't need separation in order to show appreciation.

GREATLY APPRECIATED To appreciate means to value something or somebody highly. On Wednesday night I asked, 'what have you come to appreciate more since COVID started'. Based on some of the answers it was clear that people are most appreciative of people and the things that helped them to ...read more

If you’re grieving the loss of people you love, find comfort in their rest; find comfort in their resurrection; and find comfort in the grand reunion to come.

As Shay Bradley’s coffin was being lowered into the ground at a cemetery in Dublin, Ireland, last year (October 2019), another sound cut into the mournful strains of the bagpipes. A shout rang out – from inside. “Hello? Hello. Hello? Let me out!” yelled the deceased from within the box. Then ...read more

Shift, Part 2: Shift Your Attitude Series

Contributed by James Jackson on Oct 5, 2020

A popular song once said its changes in latitudes that result in changes in attitudes. On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus showed his disciples exactly what that means.

Good morning! Please open your Bibles to John 13, as we continue our series called SHIFT. We are talking this month about areas in our personal lives as well as the life of our church where we might need to experience some shifts. Last week we talked about the need for our church to shift out of ...read more
