    A good preacher friend of mine passed away and he always said "It's Good To Be Here". This sermon is a look into the reasons why it's good for us to go to church. Matthew 17:1-8

    In Matthew 17:4, Peter speaks to the Lord during the transfiguration and says these words, "...Lord, it is good for us to be here:...". Why was it good for them to be there? I want to take a few reasons why I believe it was good for them to be there and apply them to reasons why it is good for us ...read more

    God will deal with the evil people of this world who do not repent and turn from their evil ways. We as members of the church are not to judge but are to be shepherds of the sheep, seekers of the lost, friends of sinners, the poor and broken-hearted.

    “You have heard it said of old, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, but I say unto you; do not resist the evil person. If he strikes you on the left, turn to him on the right”. Jesus tells us in Matthew 5 verses 38-39 not to contribute to further violence by retribution, but ...read more

    Paul has been informing his friends at Thessalonica of the prospect of deliverance and glory at the coming of the Lord. But he is aware that they still must live out their faith in the world of people who oppose the things of God.

    Tom Lowe 1/22/20 Lesson 5: That God Would Count Them Worthy of Their Calling (2 Thes. 1:11a) Introduction Paul has been informing his friends at Thessalonica of the prospect of deliverance and glory at the coming of the Lord.

    Patience and submission have become dirty words in today's church. Don't grow weary my friend. God remembers your efforts. There is a pay day at the end of the road.

    LIFE HAS A LOT OF WAIT… ONLY YOU CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. 1 Corinthians 13:4 (MSG) Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, 1 Corinthians 13:4 ...read more

    Because of their love for God, they choose to leave the comforts they had preferred for the rigors of rebuilding their home land. They were zealous for the house of God and they had left many of their friends, family members, and comfortable lives behind.

    Throughout the month of October, our church celebrates our 125-year heritage. And as we celebrate all that God has done for us, we know that God is continuing to do a great work even now. This past week a young man emailed me the following message: “Scott, I just felt the need to let you know ...read more

    There are lots and lots of ways that we can put Jesus in a tomb and roll a stone over it, but there is no tomb strong enough, my friend, no stone too heavy that Jesus can’t smash it to pieces.

    [Remember ... the members have been placing stones at the foot of the cross for the past seven weeks of Lent and the pile of stones around the bases has gotten pretty impressive ... powerful visual. But when they come in on Easter morning, the stones are all gone.] [Read Luke 15:11-24.] You’ve ...read more

    Jesus was aware that he would be arrested, tortured, dragged into the courts, and sentenced to death by his enemies. Though it was the eternal plan of God for establishing justice and holiness of God. However, Jesus was sorrowful and troubled with friends.

    Theme: Carelessness in Prayer Text: Matthew 26:36-46 Greetings: “The Lord is good and his love endures forever.” Context: Jesus was aware that he would be arrested, tortured, dragged into the courts, and sentenced to death by his enemies.

    God is in control of your life, my friend. All that you have is a gift of God. Your parents, your family, your marriage, your money, and your breath are all gifts from above.

    At the conclusion of today’s message, you will be invited to respond to Jesus’ offer of a clean, fresh start. You can respond by going to the Encourager’s Room, a virtual room, or the altar.

    A very sick man was confined to a pallet but still wanted to find Jesus so he could be healed. There were four friends who did take him to Jesus--and the sick man was healed!

    The Benefits Of Biblical Friendship

    Biblical friendship is not optional—it’s essential. It reflects the very heart of God, who created us for koinonia, gave us a Friend in Jesus, and calls us to love one another in the same way.

    The Benefits of Biblical Friendship "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time." – Proverbs 17:17 (CSB) Introduction We live in a world where friendships are often casual, self-serving, or shallow. Yet in Scripture, true friendship is not just ...read more

    Winning over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord doesn't come from telling them to change their ways. It comes from following Jesus' command to love others as we love ourselves.

    How can we win over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord? It's not by pointing out their faults or telling them how to change their lives. Instead, it's by embodying what Jesus taught us: to love others as we love ourselves. Love is a powerful force that can transform lives. In 1 John ...read more

    Just Say No Series

    Like Job’s friend Zophar, we eagerly find faults with others, thinking that pointing out their mistakes is all that is needed, and failing to build a relationship first. Contrast with Christ, who "became sin" for us.

    We are studying the very human issue of faultfinding during this Lenten season. We are using the story of Job and his friends, if you call them that, as they tried to console him, no, really, instruct him in his misery. Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar, three miserable comforters, Job said, because ...read more
