Jesus Is God

Contributed by Don Baggett on Dec 6, 2008

the story of Christmas is that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. The Word is the outward expression of God. The Baby in the manger was God made flesh.

The Christmas story is about Jesus. Now, I doubt that there is anyone here who really needed to be told that, but we all have to admit that it’s pretty difficult to keep the focus there. Actually, I think there is a fine line between what’s pleasing and not pleasing in the way we celebrate. ...read more

The Holiness Of God Series

One of the most difficult attributes for us to understand as humans is the holiness of God. This sermon attempts to describe it, but like all others, cannot do the subject justice!

Focus On God

Contributed by Steve Woods (Pastor Woody) on Mar 19, 2019

Every Christian, as we draw closer to God, will be challenged by the devil. We begin to feel our faith weakening and hope fading. In these times, we need to focus on God and the promises He holds for us.

With the holidays behind us and into a new year, it is time to set our sights on what’s ahead of us and forget the past. I’m sure we’ve all set new goals for this year and, more than likely, they may be the same goals we tried for last year but were unsuccessful in our efforts. As we set out to ...read more

Knowing God

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 12, 2017

Paul wrote to Timothy, "I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day." There is a great difference between knowing about God, and knowing God. Paul knew the one to whom he trusted all.
