    A Celebration Of Unity

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 23, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,515 views

    Deep divisions over politics, pandemic responses, vaccines, racial and ethnic justice, and many other issues abound. The church should be a safe haven from the divisiveness. How do we live together in unity that the psalmist celebrates? What does it mean to live in unity with today’s realities?

    Sermon - A Celebration of Unity Scripture Text - Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;3 As ...read more

    The Sovereignty of God over ALL the earth

    August 14, 2021 Today we are going to do the “Minor Prophet Shuffle”. We are skipping over Micah and will come back to it next week. 1 Peter 4:17 reminds us that “Judgment Begins in the House of God…”, therefore, the overwhelming focus of the Old Testament is on the descendants of Abraham, ...read more

    A wise person is patient with others and mature in handling anger.

    INTRODUCTION • I have always said and believed that when I get the opportunity to preach, I do not preach at people; I preach from how the Word works on my heart and life. • In other words, when I am working on each message, the Word is working on my heart also. • None are probably more accurate ...read more

    God tells us in both the Old and New Testament to let our light shine. That will not happen if we are no different than the world.

    ILLUSTRATION In Daniel chapter 12, there is a verse that every Christian should memorize. And it is: Daniel 12:3 (NKJV) 3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever. In the first part of the verse, ...read more

    This morning we are looking at a unique encounter that the disciples had with Jesus. More specifically, we are looking at an encounter that Peter had with Jesus.

    Opener: Good Morning everyone! We are so blessed to be here this morning and worshiping the Lord together as a family! Last week, we celebrated father day and if you were not able to get your mug, please be sure to grab one as you leave today! Last week, we continued with our sermon series on ...read more

    Preparing For Easter: They Came To See Jesus

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 22, 2023
     | 1,717 views

    Some Greeks came to Jerusalem to observe Passover. These men met Philip and asked him to introduce them to Jesus. The Lord's reply has a lesson for us even today.

    (Full disclosure: Sermon Central already has a message of mine based on this text called “Seven Sundays to Easter: ‘Sir, We Would See Jesus’”. This is a different message, based on a sermon preached at First Baptist Church of Chamois, MO on March 19. 2023. This message is not an exact ...read more

    Why Does The Resurrection Matter To Us?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,512 views

    Why should we be so concerned about proving that the resurrection of Jesus really took place? Sadly, many Christians can tell you the details about the resurrection while never thinking about the way that truth effects their daily lives.

    Last Sunday we learned many of the truths about the resurrection. We all saw how the Apostle Paul proved the truth of the resurrection through the testimonies of 100s of people who saw the resurrected Christ first hand. But you might be asking, “Why does of any of it matter? Why should we be so ...read more

    Saul hides behind his religion. Mafia hitmen rationalize, “Yes, I kill people but I’m really good to my mother.” We are incredibly good at self-deception. People hide behind their religion to evade obedience

    Today, I want to speak to parents and grandparents on raising children who have a stalwart character all their lives. Let’s look at one of the most interesting kings of ancient Israel, King Saul. Today’s Scripture The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for ...read more

    Desire God's Glory Series

     | 4,147 views

    David fervently desired to be in God’s temple all the days of his life, so he could behold the glory and the beauty of the Lord. In contrast a majority of people simply wish to receive material blessings and miracles from the Lord, with no desire whatsoever to see the glory of God.

    Desire God’s Glory We read in Psalm 91:9-10, “Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.” (KJV) Psalm 91:10 is rendered this way in another version, “So nothing bad ...read more

    The blood of the covenant was scarcely dry on them when the Israelites threw off their allegiance to Jehovah and asked Aaron for a new god! Aaron gave them a god who smiled on their sin. What a celebration!

    WHAT CALF ARE YOU DANCING AROUND? Exodus 32:1-4,19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A drill sergeant had just chewed out one of his cadets. As he was walking away, he turned to the cadet and said, "I guess when I die you'll come and dance on my grave." The cadet replied, "Not me, ...read more

    Jonah means “dove” – timid, fearful, senseless, and we will quickly discover that the character in our story fits his name.

    June 24, 2023 Jonah means “dove” – timid, fearful, senseless, and we will quickly discover that the character in our story fits his name. Jonah was a real person. He lived in the Northern kingdom of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II (793-753 BC) • 2 Kings 14:23-25 - …. Jeroboam son of ...read more

    Satan Uses Pain

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 20, 2022
     | 1,644 views

    Start with Job and then talk about how Satan wants to use pain from John 11 with the account of the raising of Lazarus (Adapted from a book by Joe Beam called "Seeing the Unseen")

    HoHum: When speaking about Job, one time I said, “Satan can do nothing without God’s permission.” This opened up a whole can of worms. If God is good and all powerful, then how do we explain the existence of pain, suffering, and evil in our world? There are no easy answers. WBTU: Take for ...read more

    The Lord Loves Cheerful Workers.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Jul 3, 2022
     | 1,293 views

    We all need to leave the next at some times, and live. Jesus needed his 70 disciples to leave, and preach the gospel. He also gave them instructions to help them do so.

    Introduction I am sure you are aware of the parallel between the four gospels and the four living creatures in the vision of Ezekiel. You know: the Lion, symbolizing his supremacy and kingship; the Man, symbolizing the highest of intelligence; the Ox, for his lowly service, (a symbol which we like ...read more

    From a petted child to a man.........

    June 25, 2022 Last week we ended the story of Jacob with a blessing and a name change: Jacob would now be Israel – from “Heel grabber” to “Overcomer”. Now to the story of Joseph – which will occupy 13 of the final 14 chapters of Genesis. As we noted last week, Joseph was born in Charran at the ...read more

    The Incarnation Series

    Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 16, 2024
     | 1,108 views

    In Classical Christian Art, the Gospel of John is depicted with the symbol of an Eagle. Why? Because his theology is lofty. He flies closer to the Son. We are going to look at a handful of those “lofty thoughts” that will lift you out of the mundane to new heights.

    INTRODUCTION - Today, we focus the message on a thought that sets Jesus above all others: the Word BECAME FLESH! - The word INCARNATION means the embodiment of God the Son in human flesh as Jesus Christ. - Throughout time, humans have looked for ways to see God or connect with Him. - Throughout ...read more
