    This message recognizes our Church's upcoming 99th anniversary. In this message I used the old gospel sonmg "We've Come This Far By Faith" to illustrate the continued journey of this Church.

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” When this ...read more

    Suffering is never easy, but understanding what God is up to helps us cooperate with Him in the process of using our pain for good results.

    One of the biggest speed bumps to understanding God can be our encounters with pain and suffering. The hurts we experience may stem from abandonment or abuse, sorrow and loss, fears and failures, setbacks and confrontations, chronic illness and pain - the list is long. We all hurt for a variety ...read more

    We are unhappy if we lose something precious and really glad when we find it again. God is sad when we wander away from him, but really happy when we let him lead us home again.

    I really enjoy doing jigsaws – when I get the time, that is. Does anyone else here like jigsaws? What’s the biggest jigsaw you’ve ever done? The biggest one I’ve ever done is 1000 pieces. Just imagine you’d spent days and days doing a 1000 piece jigsaw and just when you thought you would ...read more

    A Self-Centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on May 17, 2021
     | 3,398 views

    Today’s sermon is about a childless couple unexpectedly blessed with a grape-less son who ends up being a womanizing hothead hippie, marries the enemy, has a hobby of setting fox’ tails on fire, gets put in prison just because he gets a haircut, and dies of fallen arches. This is how it happened.

    A Self-centered Hothead Meets God’s Providence (Judges 13-16) Some people think that God using someone means God endorsing someone. God uses two types of people: 1. Those He uses because of their close walk with Him. 2 Timothy 2:21, “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is ...read more

    Whom do we go to in times of trouble? Can we call on God and will He hear us? Here are some great examples from the bible that are shared in this sermon.

    God Uses Our Personality Series

     | 4,705 views

    Many of our conflicts arise because we have different personalities, and thus different perspectives. When an issue comes up — especially one that is neither black or white — we tend to latch onto the response dictated by our personality.

    God Uses Our Personality! (Acts 15:36-41) 1. Happy Mother’s Day to our moms! We appreciate you. 2. Moms have a variety of personalities. Here is a true account: My mother is always trying to understand what motivates people, especially those in her family. One day she and my sister were ...read more

    Who Will Inherit The Kingdom Of God?

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 2, 2025
     | 688 views

    Many people seem to have the hope or feeling that when someone dies, death will somehow make a transformation in that person. Even though he or she was a scoundrel in life, they comfort themselves by acting as if that person will end up in heaven with God for all eternity.

    Alba 5-18-2025 WHO WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? I Corinthians 6:9-11 “Who’s going to be in heaven?” Just what kind of people do you suppose are going to be there?

    Are you slipping and sliding around in the same old mud? We must hold nothing back, and never hold something so close to our heart that keeps us away from the promises of God
