    Set Apart But Never Alone

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 23, 2023
     | 2,797 views

    This message helps to solidify the truths of God's Holy Word and encourages the believer that God never leaves us alone as we are sometimes shunned by the world.

    Man has always had a thirst for knowledge. For centuries man has searched for wisdom as we have strived to increase our knowledge. In Athens, hundreds of years ago, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle spent their time discussing the latest and greatest ideas. Then the Roman Empire gifted the city of ...read more

    Part 1 of a 2 part sermon on some of the beautiful lessons we can learn from the events surrounding the resurrection of Lazurus.

    BELIEVEST THOU THIS? Jn. 11:25-26 INTRO. As a preacher of the truth of Jesus Christ, it is a disgusting thing, to me, to hear someone ascribe the holy power of God to the depraved weakness of man. That is to say, many in their spiritual ignorance and heretical teachings, attempt to attribute ...read more

    Following Jesus can be difficult, but all who choose this path will be greatly rewarded in the end.

    Many people’s attitude about following Christ is “What can I get?” not “What can I give?” They view Christianity as only a free ticket to heaven. But what did Jesus teach about discipleship? Read Matthew 8:34-38. “If anyone would come after me” means “If anyone wants to be my disciple (in other ...read more

    Will we stand true to Jesus if the times get difficult?

    The Denying Denier John 13:36-38 Introduction Peter has certainly drawn his share of fire over the centuries. He is presented by the gospels as the first one of them to open his mouth. And often his bravado got him into trouble. The man whom Jesus called “the Rock” when He called him ...read more

     | 6,044 views

    The life, and crucifixion of Christ are historical facts as is the empty tomb. Christianity is rooted in historical events.

    What is the most significant event in world history? No doubt, you can receive as many answers to that question as there are people. But for the Christian, the answer is simple. The most significant event in the history of mankind is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. “Some religions, both ...read more

    What comes to mind when you hear the term, treasure seekers? Pirates, movies like, The Goonies? The world views treasure much differently than God does. Let's see what constitutes real treasure and determine if we want to be treasures seekers today.

    TREASURE SEEKERS When you think of treasure seekers what do you typically think of? Pirates searching for buried treasure? Movies like Raiders of the Lost Ark, National Treasure or one of my personal favorites-The Goonies? I was reading an article this past week that mentioned treasures. That got ...read more

    Enoch is mentioned in only handful of verses, yet his influence as a man of God made an impact in his time and the times to come.

    The Bible tells of men and women who were used by God as judges, warriors, kings, statesmen, prophets, and preachers. The Bible does not hold back on showing us that they were also susceptible to a range of faults, failures, and sins that caused some, like Samson and David, to live with the ...read more
