Wild Praying Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 11, 2013

Do you believe in praying bold and wild prayers? Do you believe that if you asked God to do something "impossible" that He would? Frankly, the story in Acts 12 doesn't look like these folks believed that. Did God look down on them for their doubt?

OPEN: Back in 1540 Martin Luther was very distressed. His good friend and assistant, Friedrich Myconius, was sick and was expected to die within a short time. From his bed Myconius wrote a tender farewell letter to Luther. When Luther received the message, he immediately sent back this reply: ...read more

Why Small Groups? It's About Accountability

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Nov 20, 2012

Everyone has a boss. Everyone has someone they answer to at work. Even the boss has a boss. The folks who can claim that they don’t have a boss are those who own the company, but, even then, owners have to answer for regulations, taxes, and payroll. E

“So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. ...read more

Lead Us Not Into Temptation - The Lord's Prayer - Part 5 Series

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 8, 2020

This one phrase has given some folks "spiritual heartburn" from time to time. Would "Our Father in Heaven" ever lead us into temptation? Let's look at some other Scriptures and see if we can figure it out!

Lead Us Not Into Temptation (This sermon is a shorter sermon due to being delivered via Facebook/Live during the Covid-19 shutdown) Today Pastor Karenlee will be reading from Psalm 23. But, before she reads today’s Scripture let’s take a brief review of what we have seen so far in the “Lord’s ...read more

Be A Son, Not A Dog - Matthew 7:7-11 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Nov 15, 2024

For our relationship to God to be what it should be, it’s crucial to understand God’s generosity and eagerness to bless us. This is a whole sermon on the generosity of God. It’s an especially important message for folks who tend to think of God as reluctant to bless them or answer their prayers.

Matthew 7:7-12 Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened. 9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he ...read more

Walk In Faith - Reverence Series

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 10, 2013

It's my prayer you will love and respect God today. That you will be filled with His Holy Spirit to live a life of praise. That you will have a song in your heart today for the eternity that God has provided you through Jesus Christ. This is reverence.

Personally, I don't like the word 'reverance'. You know why? Because when I was a kid to go to an environment where I had to be "reverent" meant I was going to be bored out of my mind. The word was destroyed by my experiences in worship. I hated to be reverent. Because being reverent meant ...read more

Being Filled With The Spirit Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 20, 2001

Corinth was a congregation blessed with a multitude of gifts from the Spirit of God... and yet Paul told them they were unspiritual.

Lord, Transform My Tongue!

Contributed by Michael Stark on May 31, 2025

God transforms the tongue of His saint, equipping each one to speak he truth in love, encouraging the weary and glorifying the Saviour.

“The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with a word him who is weary. Morning by morning he awakens; he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.” [1] Peter had a tongue that once spoke foolishly as he cursed and denied Jesus. Yet, that ...read more

Finishing The Race

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 1, 2022

From the time we come to know the Lord, we are running the spiritual marathon He has marked out for us. Our concern is both to run the race well and to develop the next generation of runners.

The Bright Side Of Growing Older

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 19, 2014

Moses - The Reluctant Hero Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jul 27, 2005

Most of the time we think of spiritual giants just itching to do God’s work. Moses was actually very reluctant to answer God’s call. This gives us ordinary folks hope. God takes us - whatever we have in our hand - and uses it for His glory.

What are you like when God calls you? Do you actively listen for His voice then jump at the chance to obey? Or are you just kind of going along, doing your job, minding your own business and when God calls you might reluctantly go along if He twists your arm enough? You might think that a ...read more
