    Hope In The Face Of Fear Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 3,717 views

    Do you wonder why the Bible included the story of Judas’ suicide inside the pages of the Bible? The reason God included the story of Judas is simple: Not even the betrayal of one of Jesus’ chosen twelve can stop the mission of church.

    Today, I want to speak to you on this important topic: “Hope in the Face of Fear.” Isolated from meeting together because of the Coronavirus, we meet for worship online. Of course, there is no substitute for gathering together in person. How I look forward to seeing everyone face to face! I am so ...read more

    Divide Your Love Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,489 views

    The command to love one another is sandwiched between two reasons to love that are both descriptions of the birth of hope. Love is encased in hope.

    “What oxygen is to the lungs, such is hope to the meaning of life” (Emil Brunner) There are a lot of reasons for us not to be hopeful. I listed some just this week as I thought about this message: Suicide Stillborn children Multiple Sclerosis Sexual Abuse Eating Disorder Special Needs ...read more

    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,540 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

    Independence Day: It appears that more and more, the people of America are going astray from a strong belief and commitment to the Lord. Unfortunately, many people trust in the inventions of man more than they trust in God.

    In Psalm 20:7, we read, “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God” (NIV). This verse sounds like the motto for a country, like what we find written on our money, which says, “In God We Trust.” But I want to ask you this morning, “Do the people of our ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say About Divorce? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,018 views

    Self-centeredness is the main problem for marriages. If you’re married, it’s the main problem in your marriage. If you’re not married, it will be the main problem if you ever get married. If you’re divorced, it probably was the main problem in the marriage you left.

    Have you heard the one about Adam and his “spare rib”? As you know, in the beginning God made Adam and put him in paradise. Adam was allowed to enjoy all the many wonders of the Garden of Eden and was given the job of naming all the animals. But after he had named them-rather a long task – there ...read more

    Ask For Wisdom Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 16, 2021
     | 2,347 views

    James is not the James who was one of the 12 apostles and killed by Herod Agrippa I in the YEAR AD 44. Instead, James was the half-brother of Jesus (Matt. 13:55), the one who was a leader of the Jerusalem church (Acts 15:13; Gal. 1:19), the one Paul called a pillar in the church (Gal. 2:9).

    I. There are certain realities of life common to all believers – 1:2-1:18. A. Trials and testing will come and can be overcome -- 1:2-8. 3. Ask for wisdom -- 1:5. Text – James 1:5 (KJV) If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it ...read more

    In 1 Corinthians 10:1-2, Paul said, “All our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea.” This message looks at how the Red Sea crossing is connected to baptism.

    When I was in high school, I was part of an acapella quartet, and we sang all over the county. Well, one time our group sang at a black church in Perryville, and at the end of the service a baptism was held. Something I remember that had an emotional impact on me was the singing of an old Negro ...read more

    Jesus Uncut

    A preacher is very much like a traffic engineer. And the preachers of Jesus’ day were routing the traffic right off a washed-out bridge with no warning. For real love always stands against deception.

    While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ...read more

    PEOPLE LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY BEST FRIEND PROVERBS 18:24 The RSV reads, “There are friends who pretend to be friends, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” This presents a contrast between fair-weather friends and those who are loyal through thick and thin.

    People all over the world love to sing. It’s a mood lifter & anti-depressant with no side effects. Singing isn’t an option in Scripture. It’s a command. When we sing, we declare war against our adversary.

    “Keep on Singing.” By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING:- If I can take us on a trip down memory lane for a minute and go back to the Disney Cartoon Movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs there is a famous song that says “Whistle While You Work” the Lyrics are - Just whistle while you work And ...read more
