Sermons on Found Wanting:

Fully Alive Series

Contributed by C. Philip Green on Apr 14, 2022

If you want to stay out of the ditches in life, live your life in grateful dependence upon Christ, and appreciate your completeness in Him. Appreciate the purity, pardon, and power that comes from your faith in Him. For when Jesus is all you got, Jesus is all you need.

I came across a YouTube video this week, in which a young boy encounters a sheep stuck headfirst in a long narrow trench. Take a look (show video: “Sheep gets stuck in trench”).

The Day Of Death Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 23, 2022

Would you baptize someone on Halloween? One preacher refused to do that because he saw Halloween as a focus on death... and he didn't want the young girl he was baptizing to become confused by the aura of death in the season, and having that connection ruin her walk with Christ.

Ordinarily I read a Scripture before each sermon because anything the Bible says is more important than what I have to say. But today I'm not going to do that. The text will still be there in the body of the sermon, but I'm not reading first because I don't want to spoil the surprise. ...read more

The Most Hateful Character In The Christmas Story

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Dec 13, 2022

The Grinch was right, Christmas is not only about presents, but also about God’s gift of His son bringing, light, life and joy into the world. Today, I want to talk about the most hateful character of the Christmas story. Let’s look at Christmas from a different viewpoint.

What Is The Source Of Temptation?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023

The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

Principles Of Freedom

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jun 30, 2024

Using both Joseph in the Old Testament, and Martin Luther King Jr. from our generation, we'll look at these principles of freedom from God’s word along with seeing how their dreams defined the destiny of their people. Jesus wants everyone to live a lifestyle of freedom.

God Comes For Habitation, Not Visitation

Contributed by Samuel M on Apr 2, 2025

God comes to stay, not to visit and leave. Today, if you want an encounter with God, always remember that God comes to stay, not just to visit. When you pray for God to come, pray and prepare your heart so that when He comes, He can stay for a long time.

When God comes, He does not come to visit, but He comes stay. He comes to live, dwell and stay with us forever. He is not an outsider who comes to visit; rather, He is the head of a family who comes to take His rightful place (in the family) and stay with us. He does not come to visit and then ...read more

Doing Church God’s Way: Marks Of Maturity Series

Contributed by Dana Chau on Jun 28, 2025

Did you know that the Bible says, “Whoever aspires to be a leader desires a noble task”? Maybe this would make more sense if you knew what a mature church leader looked like. You are invited to learn and grow into the mature leader God wants to lead His church!

Making Jesus Real

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

A young man, who had worked for years on the railroad, wanted a job as the lead signalman for a train company. For his interview the track foreman asked…, "What would you do if you realized that two trains were heading toward each other on the same track?"

The Necessity Of Humility

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 23, 2025

All to often in the business world we thrive to succeed at all costs - I want to be the best! Sometimes we do this at the expense of others and we know this is wrong. Jesus taught us what we should be like with other people and how important humility is in our daily lives.

The necessity of Humility LUKE 14:7-11 In this morning’s reading from St Luke’s gospel JESUS chooses a homely illustration to point to an eternal truth and perhaps a hard lesson for us to learn let alone practice! Those who exalt themselves will be humbled and those who humble themselves will be ...read more

Come Clean

Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Jun 20, 2009

Do you long to reflect a life that doesn’t feel dirty and make you feel like a tramp? Do you want to approach God every day and offer him your life, pouring it out every day like fresh, pure water for God to enjoy? Our King deserves the best!

God's Will Versus Our Will

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jan 25, 2021

Do we have ANY choice or is every aspect of our lives already been predetermined by God? Does God choose us even if we don’t want Him to? Does God choose some people but not others? How can you know what God’s will and purposes are?

Today I want to talk about God’s Will vs. Our Will. We are taught from the Bible that God gives us a free will. It is ours to choose. Sometimes what we choose is good and in the will of God, and other times what we choose is dead wrong. Maybe this message will answer a few of your questions. ...read more
