Some of you commented… you know who you are…God also knows… that at times I try to cram so many things in a sermon. You feel like you’re trying to drink from a fire hydrant. So, to give you a break, ...read more

Asking, Seeking And Knocking God’s Way Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Nov 18, 2011

Genuine prayer focuses on those things that are on God’s heart, not on our personal needs and desires.

[“O Lord, Won’t You Buy Me a Mercedes Benz” video] The way that we pray says a lot about what we think about God. Unfortunately, Janis Joplin, and a lot of other people for that matter, view God as someone who exists to do their bidding and give them what they want – kind ...read more

Feet Washed Series

Contributed by John Lowe on May 6, 2019

Christ had requested privacy for His supper and, consequently, no servant was present. The disciples were too proud to perform this menial task; therefore, the Lord took the basin and washed the feet of His disciples.

Lessons From Olivet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 28, 2022

The Mount of Olives was important to Jesus. It is a place of praise, a place of rest, a place of communion, a place of surrender, a place of blessing, and a place of retreat – things important to both Christ and believers today.

I’ve entitled our message today “Lessons from Olivet,” and I wish to begin by reading Luke 22:39, which is our focal verse. This verse says, “Coming out, He went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.” This morning, I feel led to preach a message about ...read more

Step Two - The Power To Resist Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Jun 18, 2001

Submission to God is the key and reshaping our desires is the result. Then, instead of fighting off what we desire, we are able to pursue our desires.

Step Two - The Power to Resist Resistance is Futile This may sound odd at first glance, but resistance is not the key to resisting. The Bible gives the key to resisting temptation in James 4: 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 7 ...read more

Holy Hunger

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jan 19, 2009

This message stresses the need for a holy hunger for God. Far too many Christians and churches have lost much of their appetite to know God more deeply, and serve Him more faithfully.

Holy Hunger Text: Ps.107: 9 Intro: Webster defines hunger as, “A strong desire; craving.” This strong desire and craving is usually thought of in the context of food. But actually, a person can experience a hunger for almost anything. The world in which we live is literally full of hungry ...read more
