    The first in a series on the life of Jesus through the book of John. Many things influence our perception of Jesus. This sermon attempts to open our eyes to the real Jesus vs. the Jesus we may have perceived him to be.

I also had the radio playing in the background. It was during this time that I glanced down at my Bible ...read more

    A look at the first half of the parable of the Prodigal Son. Who is the Father? How did the son reach the point of abandoning his family and the point of return. How did the Father react? Wonderful parable!

    This is the fourth week of the Lenten season and in the Scripture we are about to look at one of the most famous parables ever taught by Jesus. And, when we look at this parable we will, at this time, only be looking at the first half of the parable. As we start to take a look at this incredible ...read more

    Follow Jesus Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 23, 2025
     | 62 views

    Following Jesus means trusting His leadership, surrendering self-rule, embracing transformation, and walking daily with the Shepherd whose presence shapes every step.

    There is a tenderness in the way Jesus calls people. He never shouts to impress the crowd. He never manipulates the moment. He never forces Himself upon anyone. Instead, He speaks in a way that reaches the deepest places of the heart and invites a response that is both personal and ...read more

    Contributed by Kevin Broyhill on Oct 2, 2024
     | 1,341 views

    Psalm 23 is not just a still-life image of peace and tranquility--our Shepherd guides us through life’s darkest valleys, too. But no matter how deep or dark the valley, we are never alone. We have an all-sufficient Shepherd who walks with us every step of the way.

    What Is in Your Valley? Psalm 23:4 Introduction: Ps. 23 = is not a still life scene; it is not a stationary picture in a storybook. It is a journey… reminder that life is not stationary…. always moving. Journey of life the Shepherd takes us into the green pastures of His peace and contentment… ...read more

    How To Spread The Good News Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 17, 2015
     | 5,119 views

    We are to be good shepherds, servant leaders whose job description includes leading others to God. God empowers us as leaders and as followers to build up, to influence and to persuade others.

    When we spread the good news of the Gospel, we can expect to face opposition. The apostle Paul was no exception. He boldly preached the Gospel to the Thessalonians in spite of suffering and mistreatment. First Thessalonians 2:1-8 is a model for all Christians to follow, especially when they are ...read more

    We need mature men in ministry, tried and tested and well established in the bible. Many times the pastor finds himself in the middle of problems and tensions, some serious, particularly when it comes to complaints about others. A cult following must not happen to any minister. Humility!

    Cultural Christianity means to pursue the God we want instead of the God who is. It is the tendency to be shallow in our understanding of God, wanting Him to be more of a gentle grandfather type who pampers us and lets us have our own way. It is sensing a
