    How’s Your witness? Sometimes we take the "easy" way out of our duty as Christians to evangelize. This sermon starts out with a great skit that illustrates the message very well.

    The Super Highway to Heaven Isabelle: Hey, whacha doin? Dave: Hmmm? Isabelle: I said, Whacha doin? Dave: Oh, I’m evangelizing. Isabelle: What do you mean? There’s no one here. Dave: I know. I’m doing it online. Isabelle: Wait a minute. You’re evangelizing online? Dave: Yep. I’ve ...read more

    A funeral message about an exceptional woman.

    I believe that everyone’s life has a theme. Patterns emerge over the years that are true of us all the time. Sometimes it’s difficult to figure out your theme, but with Geneva it’s pretty easy. When facing a challenge or a task or a new direction she was often heard to say, “I can do that.” ...read more

    How do you react to the cross of Jesus? It may say a lot about your spiritual condition and your relationship to Christ. Learn how many of the witnesses reacted.

    24th in series on Joshua. This is about jumping to conclusions about someone else’s faith, and how it’s much safer not to speculate.

    Joshua 22:1-34 – Slow Down and Shut Up (NOTE: I draw heavily on Brian McLaren’s A New Kind of Christian for this message. And the reference I make to Pentecostals are towards the Jesus-only variety, not the Trinitarian varieties.) Maybe you have heard the poem called The Cookie Thief, by ...read more

     | 33,121 views

    There are many benefits to abiding in the vine; having our prayers answered, bearing much fruit, and eternal life with Christ in heaven.

    Are you bearing fruit? We need to be bearing fruit. It is a calling of God for His children. He states it very clearly in John 15:16. “You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my ...read more
