    First sermon in the series, "The Believer's Hope" as we examine 1 Corinthians 15. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    The hope of all believers – eternal life vice eternal death and everlasting punishment.

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 6, 2015
     | 6,332 views

    People dismiss Jesus today for the same reasons the soldiers dismissed Him on that first Easter weekend.

    I wonder what Jesus thought when He looked down at His bloody feet nailed to the cross. By then His vision would have been blurred, not just from the excruciating pain, but from the blood and sweat that He was powerless to wipe away from His eyes. In that painful, lonely, and desperate moment of ...read more

     | 99 views

    This time we see the fertile, good soil as the Sower broadcast his seed. This is what everyone wants. Also we see the obligations of sowers, the care of the seed, and how this relates to the gospel. We must never handle the bible deceitfully.

     | 8,508 views

    Through his first miracle, at the wedding in Caana, Jesus shows that he cares about the small stuff in our lives…we should care about the small stuff in the lives of others.

    Introduction: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” We’ve all heard it. Many of us try to practice it. We encourage others to do it. There are even books about it. We are supposed to stop worrying about the small stuff and just let it go. There’s just one problem with that; most of life is made up of ...read more

    This message examines the indictment Paul brings against the human race. This is is his first round of evidence to support the indictment.

    If we are honest, there are just some subjects that we absolutely do not like to talk about. We prefer to avoid any subject that may cast ourselves in a bad light or make us feel uncomfortable.
