Who Cares? Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Aug 22, 2021

Has our prosperity made us so oblivious and so apathetic that we are no longer willing to leave our pleasures long enough to protect and heal the nation that so many others have sacrificed to give us? Even if America has reached that point, we Christians must rise above the apathy around us.

[NOTE: The beginning of this sermon is referring to flooding that occurred where I live in western North Carolina.} Wow! What a week, amen? Life can come at you from out of nowhere and turn on a dime, can’t it? Last Sunday we gathered here to worship and had no idea how our little corner of ...read more

We are charged with cleansing our daily walk and bad habits. God will not do for us what He has commanded us to do for ourselves.

HOW TO BE USEFUL TO GOD Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."

Sometimes we have to create words to express concepts in the Bible, but words the Bible does not use, like The Bible, Trinity, Theology, Services, and mentoring, to name a few. 2. But, when possible, it is usually best to stick with Biblical ...read more

The Book We Skip And The God We Need

Contributed by Scott Maze on Oct 27, 2025

How would you like to pray to this god to answer your desperate prayers each day? Prayer would be a gamble each and every time. If you were single and you were praying for love and marriage, this kind of mercurial god might give you Hannibal Lecter or Jeffrey Epstein for a boyfriend!

If the Bible were a playlist, Nahum would be the song you’d skip every time. It’s the book we totally ignore. But we shouldn’t ignore it. Here’s why you ...read more

Baptism

Contributed by Mark Holdcroft on Jun 28, 2003

This is a short gospel message preached at a baptisimal service, using the account of Noah as symbol of baptism.
