     | 12,661 views

    Every one of us is confronted everyday with temptation from three sources – the world, the flesh, and the devil. None are immune. When temptation comes we can either overcome it or it can overcome us. How we deal with temptation will determine the outcome

    Dealing with Temptation 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Struggling to make ends meet on a first-call salary, the pastor was livid when he confronted his wife with the receipt for a $250 dress she had bought.

    This sermon highlights the need for the Church body to be united in "mind and purpose" in the midst of conflicting, and constantly changing ideologies and trends.

    SUNDAY, JULY 1, 2012 UNITED WE STAND Let me read one of Aesop’s Greek fables; In the forest, there lived four oxen. They were very good friends and always went together to graze in the fields. However, every time they went, a hungry lion tried to attack them. The lion longed for their meat. ...read more

    Life Quest

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jun 2, 2011
     | 3,097 views

    Our LIFE QUEST is one of building lives of obedience (MSG, 2Cor 10:6). Many of us have learned that the more obedient we are to God’s authority the more we grow like Him, the closer we get to Him and the better life is because of Him.

    LIFE QUEST Scripture: 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, MSG Text: Verse 6 – “Building lives of obedience into maturity” (All other references are quoted from NASB unless otherwise stated) A boy had been disobedient. His mother sent him to the corner and said “you sit there” to which he responded with folded ...read more

    Repeat After Me

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jun 18, 2011
     | 3,828 views

    Repetition isn’t rote; it’s practice. All of these words become part of us, digging deep into our hearts and minds, helping to form in us habits of thought and action that honor God, that put God first.

    Everything in this sEverything in this service is old hat. We know the Apostles Creed so well that many of us don’t have to use the worship notes except to remember to say "sitteth" instead of "sits." I chose the most commonly used prayer of Confession in the English language. The 23rd Psalm is ...read more

     | 5,896 views

    When God stops you from doing something that you think is achieving, he is only to prepare you for something bigger, so take heart: it is not about you, it is about God, and what he wants; and fortunately he aligns our desires with his.

    The Church At Its Best Series

    Contributed by Jay Tigner on May 7, 2016
     | 5,239 views

    The church is at its best when the church is bold.

    Last week we took a few moments to study the first opposition the early church experienced. The big take away from our time together was that there is a spiritual dimension to life whereby Satan, the enemy of God, wages war against Him and all the good that He has given the world. The war that ...read more

    This sermon deals with personal and church wide failure as well as failure when trying to do a work for God.

    Epic Fail or Godly Success Some time back it became popular on Facebook and other social media sites to post pictures with the title “epic fail”. There are even some sites dedicated to “epic fail” pictures. I find the church signs especially amusing. The hard truth is that ...read more

    A Word Concerning Character Series

     | 3,077 views

    The words men speak are actually a reflection of the heart. People eventually speak what they feel. The character of men, their inner being is eventually revealed as they speak.

    A Word Concerning Character Matthew 5: 33-37 As I began to study this passage, initially it was one of the most difficult to discern that I have studied. I realized the reason for my difficulty was directly related to my approach. The majority of commentaries on this passage approach it from the ...read more

    The Foundation For Favor Series

     | 4,318 views

    Often events and circumstances in life take us by surprise. At times life is going according to plan, and then without warning, difficulty arrives. Thankfully, God is omniscient, knowing all things. He is never taken by surprise and always works according to His divine will.

    The Foundation for Favor Esther 2: 19-23 As we take a moment to consider our lives, we discover they are made up of varied series of events. Often one event serves to prepare us for a future event. At times, several events tend to blend together and create a major event. Viewing life from this ...read more
