Shaken By His Presence Isaiah 64:1-3 Several months ago the Lord woke me up early in the morning around 3 am.

The Worthy Centurion

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on Mar 7, 2006

A marvellous faith was not the only virtue possessed by the Centurion whose slave was healed by Christ.

Jesus has just spent the better portion of His day healing the multitudes that flocked to him and, on a plain in the countryside near Capernaum, He had delivered a long sermon. We find our chapter beginning with the close of that sermon. Verse 1, “He had completed all His discourse in the ...read more

Trust

Contributed by Thomas Bowen on Mar 19, 2006

Trust something we give sometimes without thinking. Do we really trust God? How is our trust destroyed? Christians trust as a sign of faith.

Trust Proverbs 3:5-7 Perhaps you have not caught on to what God has had me doing in the past few weeks. Two weeks ago we had a message on Authority where we were reminded about the authority of every Christian. We discussed teachers, the president, and police as sources of authority. We ...read more

Christ Is The Vine

Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on Sep 24, 2006

This sermon is about living vitally connected to Christ, the True Vine who produces awesome fruit in our lives.

We live in a world of concrete and metal, cars and skyscrapers. Our food comes from grocery stores, markets and McDonald’s. Jesus lived in a world of deserts and gardens, rocky clefts and fertile fields. The food that Jesus and his friends ate were the grains they saw growing in nearby fields and ...read more

Worship - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Warren Lamb on Jun 3, 2006

True worship is a total giving over of oneself in every aspect of our life to God. Our life is to be seasoned with worship, but what is it and what does it accomplish? What is my part and what is God’s?

Worship – Part 1 Romans 12:1; Isaiah 6:1-11a We are about to begin a journey of study into the character of some of the key people revealed to us in God’s Word – people who were significant in His story; people whom He used in a variety of ways with a variety of results.

Welcome Home

Contributed by Ray Ellis on Oct 16, 2006

Jesus told three parables about lost sheep, a lost coin and a lost son. The stories highlight the truth that missing people matter to God. God places tremendous value on every individual. All heaven rejoices when one person repents and turns to God.

“Welcome Home” Luke 15:11-27 Those of you who have had or currently have sons can closely identify with the story Jesus told about a rebellious son. The rebellious son was the teenager and the other son was obedient and probably in his twenties. In Luke chapter 15 Luke records that Jesus made ...read more

Sin is our greatest problem as human beings. Only confessing our sin to God and asking for forgiveness will help us.

What is the greatest problem we face as human beings today? Greenhouse gases and climate change? Terrorism? Civil wars? Overpopulation? The ever-increasing gap between rich and poor? The world-wide epidemic of HIV/AIDS? On a more personal level, perhaps it’s the breakdown in relationships between ...read more

Teach Us To Pray

Contributed by Troy Voyles on Feb 17, 2007

In this message I go into the heart of what we call the "Lord’s Prayer".

Teach Us How To Pray This morning, I want to talk to you on the subject of prayer. I believe in these days that we must have a prayer life, because if we don’t, we will struggle.

Healing The Body And The Soul

Contributed by William Mouser on Feb 19, 2006

While Jesus healed the bodies of many afflicted with demons and disease, he came into the world to heal a deeper sickness than any of these: the guilt and stain of sin. In healing the paralytic, Jesus healed the sinner’s soul, and then his body.

Psalm 32, Isaiah 43:18-25, 2 Corinthians 1:18-22, Mark 2:1-12 Healing the Body and the Soul Chuck Swindoll in his book "The Grace Awakening" had some interesting things to say about our needs and what God might have provided to meet them.

What Gifts Did The Magi Give? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 18, 2006

Wise men came late to the party... but at least they showed up. Then - as now - many are too busy to bother. Why would so many people seek something else to focus on during the Christmas season?

OPEN: It was almost Christmas Day, and the mother of a 3 year old boy was furiously running from store to store trying to get her last minute shopping done.
