What Do You Do When Your World Is Falling Apart?

Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Nov 12, 2013

Some who call themselves Christians are denying The Authority of Scripture. Some are denying the Deity and Saving power of Christ. When doctrine and truth are abandoned., You do not get liberal Christianity you have formed a whole new religion based on satanic doctrine. (Updated Nov. 2026)

The Joy Stealers Series

Contributed by Brian Bolton on Aug 29, 2014

This series comes right from the book of Philippians. I used Warren Wiersbe's "Be Joyful" and Matt Chandler's "To Live is Christ, To Die is Gain" as my two main sources. This first message is an overview of the entire series.

The Ascension

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 8, 2015

Jesus’ ascension into heaven is something that doesn’t get enough attention. We make a pretty big deal over Christmas and Easter but what about the ascension? We shouldn't overlook it because without the ascension the work of Jesus would not be complete.

THE ASCENSION INTRODUCTION: Jesus’ ascension into heaven is something that probably doesn’t get enough attention. With Christmas and Easter we make a pretty big deal over his birth and his death and resurrection, but what about the ascension? We might think the ascension is not all ...read more

We Are His Disciples Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jun 15, 2020

Our desire should be to be like Christ, to follow in His footsteps, to see the world as He sees the world, to conform to His likeness. We have a word for it, we call it being a disciple. We are called to be His disciples.

Being in Christ, we represent Him to the world, we have become His ambassadors. We have the ...read more

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Feb 24, 2020

Number 36 in an on-going sermon series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we look at true worship, and how true worship appears foolishly costly to the worldly minded, but to Christians there is no cost too high.
