    JESUS, YES! THE CHURCH, NO?

    In Mark 9 Jesus’ disciples could not cast a demon out of a young boy. What was Jesus explanation as to why? Pray!

    Take Action Today! When I read the Bible- like to personalize the Bible. What does God want me to take away from- verses. Often when I read- underline/circle action words.

    Part 1: Preparing For The Fight Series

    Contributed by Pastor Randall Timblin on Nov 1, 2019
     | 5,562 views

    I was raised NOT to fight. My Father told me since I was knee-high that fighting was wrong and that I would get a “whoopin’” if he ever found out that I had been fighting.

    The first fight I ever had was unofficial if you will and it was between a local farm-boy and myself. I was defeated, although it took awhile, and I ended up with two black eyes and some swelling to my jaw. I never asked for the fight but it happened and I was ill-prepared to defend ...read more

     | 4,733 views

    DO WE COME TO CHURCH BECAUSE IT’S A HABIT? WE COME BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO. THE END RESULT IS THAT THE EVENT IS IMPORTANT, NOT WHAT WE ARE DOING AT THE EVENT. SO, WE SLOWLY AND INCREMENTALLY SLIP INTO A “GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS” KI

    Temple Tantrum (Mark 11:15-19) 1. One guy made a New Year’s resolution without much meaning. He resolved he would never shovel snow again. Since he lived in Miami Beach, Florida, it was a resolution he no doubt kept! 2. Besides the most common resolutions — like losing weight, ...read more

    Celebrating the birth of Jesus is appropriate and good, but we must not forget the life-altering habits that should follow!

    Christmas Overflow (Luke 2:17-20) Unlike some of my previous Luke 2 sermons, this focuses primarily upon verses 17-20. 1. It seemed the whole world was waiting breathlessly for the birth of this baby. This baby is Prince George, firstborn son of Prince Harry and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. It is ...read more

     | 4,732 views

    The work ethic is the theory that hard work is virtuous and worthy of reward. We need to replace that thinking by letting God do his thing. How would that look in our relationship with God?

    Let God Do His Thing  INTRODUCTION: The work ethic is the theory that hard work is virtuous and worthy of reward. That work ethic has crept into the Christian viewpoint by thinking that we must do God's work before we can merit his approval and acceptance. We need to replace that ...read more

     | 101 views

    The result of miracles often receive tons of "praise", but at the root of each act Jesus performed contains one simple, challenging, word: "obedience". Will we be a people who obey Christ because of who He is, or simply because of what He can do for us?

     | 258 views

    Jesus is coming for you when he is ready, not when you get ready.

    Our Gospel parable today of the Supervising Servant tells us that everybody has a day when we will be judged immediately after death, but the day and time is unspecified, and so Jesus is giving a series of admonitions saying to be prepared and vigilant. Jesus probably delivered the parable as a ...read more
