Pentecost: The Arrival Of The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 18, 2021

Look inside today’s story for two items the Spirit does in your life: 1) The Spirit makes you bold ; and 2) He makes your conscience tender to His touch. My hope this morning is simple: I want you and I to hunger for life-changing power the Holy Spirit brings.

Relational Living: Love Series

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 7, 2021

Let me ask you, “Are you disappointed in the way your relationships are turning out? Do you long to go deeper with those around you? If so, listen and learn from the words of Jesus as He explained the dynamics of love. Our Scripture passage this morning comes from the Gospel of John 15.

For the next 6 weeks, I want to take a close look at relationships. Let’s face it, relationships seldom seem to last or at least be what they once were when a relationship began. I’m not just talking about when two people meet and fall in love. I’m talking about all relationships where we become ...read more

He Came To Seek And Save The Lost Series

Contributed by Steve Malone on Jan 6, 2022

THIS morning what I want to do or at least attempt to do – as we take a look at Luke chapter 15 is to reveal the heart of the Father in regards to lost people; How does God feel about the lost – what is his desire for them (Luke 15 contains the parable of the lost; sheep, coin & son).

He Came To Seek And Save The Lost What Jesus Came To Do – part one In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn't make. Life itself was in him, and this life gives light ...read more

Striving For Church Health - Healthy Younger Women Series

Contributed by Joey Nelson on Jul 15, 2002

A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Survive

Contributed by Lee Houston on Jan 20, 2025

This morning, I was reading Mark 3:24-25, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” I did not remember the context in which he said it. I found it in a Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln. I thought about Lincoln’s realization. It seems to me that we are again a divided nation.

What Is Life

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 14, 2021

In the message this morning, I will try to answer one of life’s most important questions. What is life or what is this life all about? I am sure most of us at some time have asked ourselves questions such as, why was I born? Why am I here? What is the purpose of life? Is this all there is to life?

I. Definition of Life 1. The dictionary says: a. Life is the union of soul and body. That's not 100% true because the word of God says man is made up of body, soul, and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 b. Life is the period between birth and death. This is not true. The Bible ...read more

Drop It Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 3, 2022

I stand before you this morning a condemned man … every bit as guilty as that poor woman caught in the act of adultery. I don’t know whether or not Jesus wrote their sins in the sand but He certainly knows my many sins and I do know that my sins were swept away that day on the cross.

[Pick up little stone.] Yeah … there’s been a lot of jokes about the risk I’m taking by handing out stones before the sermon. Look at the stone in your hand. Yeah … getting hit by a rock this size could hurt … especially if it hit me in the head or hit me in the eye or something, amen? I guess ...read more
