    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 3, 2023
     | 1,861 views

    The good news for believers is that death is not the last word. Jesus Christ conquered death, and through faith in Him, we have eternal life. Praise God!

    I praise God that He is risen. He is risen indeed. For our friends in Pakistan we say, "Wo jee utha. Wo jee utha, beshuk." It is so good to have 20/20 hindsight. Friday we left Jesus in the tomb. But death could not hold Him. He conquered death and gave us the hope of the ...read more

    The Apostle Peter certainly was very comfortable speaking about practice as tending toward growth in Christian discipleship.

    TITLE: PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT SCRIPTURE: II PETER 1:5-10 Anyone who has ever achieved at a really high level knows that there is no substitute for practice. Sure, we've all heard stories of exceptionally gifted people who are able to master a subject or discipline on their first ...read more

     | 3,383 views

    This message emphasizes the importance of listening for Gods' leading when preparing to change leadership roles.

    Last week we began by talking about mentoring and how we affect other people's lives. We saw how Jethro impacted Moses’ life in his ministry. Moses’ ministry changed in his methods and I'm sure that he was grateful for Jethro's advice. People impact our lives sometimes more than we ...read more

    Is Your Heart Stubborn Or Soft? How To Guard Your Heart Diligently Series

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 19, 2023
     | 1,798 views

    It depends on your heart. The seat of who you are, and your decision making. The heart. It’s about what is in your heart. And what influences your heart has taken in, what is your desire, what is your life pointed at? Where have you taken your heart in your choices?

    I was over at cone zone ice cream on Saturday. And I was pulling through the drive through. On the front of my vehicle I have a license plate that says “Jesus Christ is the answer.” I saw a lady with her son look at the license plate and scowl and I could read her lips she said, “no it isn’t.” And ...read more

     | 2,313 views

    Even when we feel drained physically and financially, we still need to offer what resources we do have - and in so doing, find that we can do more than we thought.

    I have a lot of fellow feeling for the disciples in today’s story. I expect all of us who have put so much time and effort into VBS do, too. It’s done! We can put our feet up and have something to eat, talk about how everything went, see how well we did, maybe get a stroke or two for the old ego. ...read more

    Avoiding A Critical Spirit

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 19, 2023
     | 2,243 views

    There is a place for honestly confronting others when done in a loving and gracious way. Yet maturity means learning to guard our hearts from an unhelpful, critical spirit, as we'll learn in this story of Miriam and Aaron's criticism of Moses.

    It’s summertime folks. And the heat of Texas is here. And that heat causes many to be on edge—on edge enough to gripe or complain about the smallest of things. Do we have any complainers here today? This coming November, I will have been pastor here at SEBC for 27 years. Through those years I ...read more

    More Than A Mother

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 3, 2023
     | 1,804 views

    No matter how deep the scars that life has left us with, the mother-love of God can restore the broken places and refill the empty places. There is nothing that we have lost that cannot be transformed or redeemed.

    Many of you met my sister Kathleen and her son Brian when they came down for my installation. Brian is the only child in our generation, my mother’s only grandchild. And that’s surprising because, of the two of us, Kathleen didn’t want children and I did. I was the one who played with dolls. I was ...read more

    The Danger Of Doing What Is Right In Your Own Sight

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 6, 2023
     | 5,181 views

    The church has had far too much in common with the children of Israel back in the days when there was no king. We must cry out against the Spiritual, Moral, and Ethical Depravity that is being allowed to happen in the churches today.

    The Danger of Doing What is Right in Your Own Eyes By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. PRAYER: SCRIPTURES: - Judges 17 – 21 Deuteronomy 12:8 says, “You shall not do as we are doing here today, everyone doing what is right in his own eyes”. That is not a request that is a command. Judges 17:6 ...read more

    The Armor Of God: Salvation

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 7, 2023
     | 1,708 views

    Construction workers wear helmets on the job. Firefighters wear helmets. Soldiers in combat wear helmets. The purpose for the helmet is understandable. It is there to protect a very important part of the body, the head. We who are Christians also have helmets that we can and should wear.

    Justice But Not For Us

    Contributed by Kenneth R. Jenkins on Aug 7, 2023
     | 2,287 views

    Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Judge teaches persistence, faith, and prayer, with a promise of God’s ultimate justice.

    A) Always Pray and Don’t Give Up (18:1) “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” (18:1) Verse 1 starts with “Then.” Notice that this teaching on prayer follows directly on Jesus’ teaching on the coming of the Son of Man. Indeed, verse ...read more

    Putting Things Before God

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 15, 2023
     | 2,028 views

    Jesus was tempted to exalt Himself in a way that was not right. Today we're going to talk a little bit about exalting ourselves above God or putting something else before God.

    If you don't toot your own horn, who will? Have you ever heard that before? Let's face it, we really enjoy those moments when good things happen to us. We feel good when we've accomplished something. And with those good experiences, we naturally want to tell others about it. ...read more
