    Getting Our Hands Dirty

     | 1,328 views

    Today, we are reminding ourselves that in the end, the best expression of our faith is by reaching out in love and service to the world around us. Truly, to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ to a world that is in need of His grace and mercy can be a messy endeavor for sure.

    Opening: Well Good morning everyone! It is so nice to see everyone here this morning! This morning, the title of the sermon is “Getting our hands dirty for Jesus”. Today, we are reminding ourselves that in the end, the best expression of our faith is by reaching out in love and service to the ...read more

    Closely related to God's immutability is His faithfulness. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    As we have considered the attributes of God, last week we looked at God never changing. The God of the Old Testament is the same God of the New Testament. Only God can say “I never change.” (Malachi 3:6). Very closely related to the unchangeableness of God is His faithfulness. When we encounter ...read more

    You can't walk with God holding hands with the Devil

    “The Gospel that we just heard picks up right where last week’s Gospel left off. Jesus had just finished teaching the parable of the wealthy fool to the crowds who came out to listen to Him.

    The Apostle Peter reassures us: There will be a final judgment. Also we look at the reality of hell, and why people refuse to believe in it - SIN, they want to justify their sin. See sermon for details......

    A little note about the sermon title: I had a little boy say outloud "Hell In A Handbasket". His mom said sternly: "Where did you hear such a thing?" "I was just reading the sermon title mommy". Maybe I should have gone with my alternate title: H. E. double toothpicks. An old sourdough [that’s ...read more

    A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

    Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021
     | 6,034 views

    I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

    I. The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon.
