Pressures In The Home

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jul 15, 2023

Mark it down, Satan is out to destroy your home. Ephesians 6:10-12; 1 Peter 5:7

I believe the home is the foundation of all influence. I believe it is more influential than the church, then the school, than your job. If Satan can continue to destroy the home, He can wipe out all Christian influence. I want to give just a few words of explanation about the message. Before we ...read more

Hope Is Not Dead!

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Dec 5, 2022

Society wants to drive the hope in Jesus out of his disciples. We cannot let that happen.

Will A Man Rob God

Contributed by Grant Adams on Mar 11, 2023

The book of Malachi is an incredibly significant book. It is the last book in the Old Testament. After Malachi, it will be some 400 years before God speaks to another writer.

Malachi means my messenger. There are many important messages found in this book. It is quoted by Matthew, mark, and Luke. It is quoted by the apostle Paul, but the name Malachi is never mentioned anywhere else in all the Bible. Nobody knows where he came from. No one knows who his parents were, ...read more

Paul The Church Planter

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Mar 28, 2023

The Apostle Paul is probably the greatest church planter in the history of the church. What can we learn from him, and how should we implement it into our modern times?

It is estimated that the Apostle Paul traveled a total of 17,285 miles! It is the equivalent of going from Jerusalem to San Francisco and then back to New York City.

Sermon On Life Is A Circus

Contributed by William Meakin on Apr 19, 2023

A circus has misleadingly been attributed as a “metaphor for life.”

Laura Vanderkam, an American author once remarked: “The more times I attend the circus, the more I am struck how inaccurate the life-is-a-circus metaphor is. When people say that life is a circus, they mean chaos. Too much going on, things flying everywhere. The circus is nothing like that. The ...read more

A Man After God's Own Heart: David's Early Life As A Shepherd Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 16, 2023

David was anointed as the king of Israel as a young man, and that would define his life for many years. He was a young king in exile. Because technically Saul was still king. But Saul had displeased God. And so God would slowly work in David’s life to bring him to the seat of the throne.

We’re going to examine the life of the one of the great historical figures, a man named David. If there’s one person I want to mimic in my devotion to Christ it’s David. He is the prime example from the Old Testament of a godly man, a man the Bible says, was a man after God’s own heart. There are ...read more
