    How Does One Get To Heaven

    Contributed by John Hamby on Jul 23, 2018
     | 10,355 views

    A contrast, between a child who received Jesus just the way He offers and a wealthy adult who wanted to come to Jesus on his own terms.

    “How Does One Get To Heaven?” Luke 18:15-27 So how does one get right with God? How does one get to Heaven? Previously in Luke chapter eighteen, Jesus has just told the Parable of the ...read more

    Joy and sorrow meet at the feet of Jesus. Let us bow before Him today.

    Where Joy and Sorrow Meet Introduction Longfellow: Ah, how good it feels! The hand of an old friend. We rejoice in the faces of old friends we see today, and we are grateful to meet new friends as well. We are sorrowful at the faces who are no longer here, many now with the Lord. Our experience ...read more

    Don't Just Do Something - Sit There

    Sometimes we need to get alone, be still, and listen to God. Then other times we need to put ACTION to our prayers.

    If I asked you what your favorite part of the Sunday morning worship is, I would probably get answers like, “I like the song service, I like the special music, I like the prayer time, and so on. One pastor actually asked some of his congregation that question and one person said it was the prelude ...read more

    On With God's Work Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 15, 2022
     | 2,458 views

    When we have setbacks we need to hear and cherish the voices that cry out, get on with God’s work. What God’s people need in this situation is the voice of encouragement.

    You may remember the dramatic scene from the movie Chariots of Fire. It is when Eric Liddell Falls in a race, gets up and goes on to win the race. Now that is an inspiration. What about us as Christians? Do we stumble? Do we get tripped up and fall down? Of course we do. But we don’t lay there. We ...read more

    Condition Critical

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 1, 2023
     | 1,307 views

    The differences between us - you and me - and the brothers and sisters we find it so easy to criticize - shrinks to nothing at all when we look, instead, at the difference between ourselves and Jesus.

    A few years ago I had an interesting talk with my mother about the nature of friendship. At one point I made the comment that the only bottom line requirement I had for a friend was that I needed to know I’d be forgiven for my mistakes. Her response was telling. She said that I had unrealistically ...read more

    Part 3: Show 'em Who Is In Control Series

     | 2,892 views

    My Father told me when I was just a pup, "Son, the very first play is the most important. You must show your opponent who is the boss!"

    It was good advice and I have never forgotten what he had said. Of course he was referring to football but it applies to most things, especially sports. Satan thinks he is the boss. He wants to boss you around in the RING of LIFE. From the time you are a young adult, he tries to impress his ...read more

    Life has a tendency to get us all BOGGED DOWN in our busyness and responsibilities. God has a plan. Let us lift each others arms to V-I-C-O-R-T-Y!

    BOGGED DOWN By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com BOGGED DOWN: 2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 Timothy 3:1 (MOFF) Mark this, there are hard times coming in the last days. 2 Timothy 3:1 (MSG) Don't be naive.

    Following The Shepherd Part 4 Of 6

    based on 14 ratings
     | 2,026 views

    Some feel they are better than others. They don’t hurt people, lead a good life and don’t break the rules. Comparing ourselves to “others” we might think we might look pretty righteous.

    Following the Shepherd Ps 23 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of ...read more

    Under-shepherds and the Chief Shepherd, that Great Shepherd of the Sheep, Jesus.

    THE GREAT SHEPHERD AND THOSE WHO RULE. Hebrews 13:17-25. 1. Those Who Rule Over You. The earlier exhortation to ‘Remember’ our leaders probably implies showing respect to those who are still with us, and honouring those who have since died, by following their example. Scan their lives and ...read more

    The Shepherd's Sacred Heart Series

     | 64 views

    Jesus, who is the Second Person of the Trinity and True God, is in His human nature like a shepherd for all of us who believe in Him.

    Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus 2025 Before we look at today’s Scriptures, let’s look back even before king Saul and King David to the time when the Israelites were led by Judges. The greatest of these was Samuel. In the first book of Samuel, chapter 8, we see a picture of Samuel when he ...read more

    Micah's Shepherd King Wk 3 Series

     | 5,817 views

    In this third week of Advent we continue to "Major on the Minors" as Pastor Terry looks at the Prophecy of Micah of the one who would come to deliver Israel from captivity and how that same One has come to deliver you and I.

    Again on this third week of Advent we are “majoring on the Minors” as we consider a prophetic word from the Book of Micah. The entire book that bears his name speaks of a redeemer who is unmatched in His compassion toward sinners and His desire to pardon. In one of the prophet’s visions he sees ...read more

    Judas shows us just how close a person can get to Jesus and yet not believe.

    How Judas Lost His Soul Matt 26:14-16 14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15 And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. 16 And from that time he sought ...read more

    A look into the benefits of being truly grateful.

    Benefits of Gratitude Thankfulness glorifies God This alone would be reason to give thanks to God. To bring glory to God is an amazing accomplishment.
