Preaching through a series on Jesus’ life, this is a message on the Beatitudes, as a whole. I do not subscribe to the "standard approach" taken by many; perhaps this message will give some different ideas.

Getting Into The Game! Philippians 3:7-16 I have a confession to make; one of the reasons that I was glad about being sent to Bel Air, MD was that I was returning to Baltimore football territory.

Those Who Are Persecuted Series

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 7, 2005

There are some who do not see the Christian life as one that involves physical or emotional pain. The popular message to preach nowadays is the “prosperity message.” That message satisfies a lot of people.

As we continue our study on THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT, we will see tonight that the direction in which Jesus was teaching (in the first nine verses) takes a sharp turn in the highway. The verses we have already studied have been inspiring and uplifting for me, personally. But what we will read ...read more

Are You Secure In Christ?

Contributed by Darren Ethier on Mar 22, 2002

Some of you may remember the water incident in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada. Our church is about a 10 minute drive away and this is a message I preached following the tragedy.

ARE YOU SECURE IN CHRIST? If there is one thing that the tragedy in Walkerton has taught people it is that we really take our water for granted. We never thought twice about taking a drink from our taps or taking a bath – or letting our kids play in the sprinklers – but this Ecoli thing has all ...read more

Contributed by Everett Mccoy on Jul 22, 2008

Message I preached in a service where we were sharing the Lord’s Supper. Taking "unworthily" is all about our relationship with the church - the Lord’s body.

27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks ...read more
