    It's Not Just For Us Series

    Contributed by D. Marie Hamilton on Dec 25, 2011
     | 5,362 views

    We must take what we learn and what we say in church to let people know that this is not just for us, but others. Others should believe in God based on what we do, not what we say.

    It’s Not Just for Us Acts 11:1-9 and 18 NRSV This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Let us pray. When I listen to people read the mission and vision statement at church, I often times wonder…do they really believe in the mission and vision statement that they recite every ...read more

    Ignorance Is Killing Us!

    Ignorance takes on many forms concerning the basic functioning of relationships and society, but most of all ignorance of the Word of God is causing our society to implode! Ignorance is wastefully degrading our organized systems and causing undue damage!

    Ignorance Is Killing Us! By Kelly Durant 5-3-15 Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy ...read more

    Discovering Your Destiny In Christ Series

    Contributed by Manny Salva Cruz on Jul 11, 2016
     | 12,371 views

    God has a good plan for our lives and we can discover our destiny in Christ by making daily decisions in submission to His Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. This is the lesson we can learn from the last chapter of Ruth.

    There is a vast difference between FATE and DESTINY. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond the human control. A typical response of a person who believes in fate is resignation - if we can't change destiny, then why even try? Whatever happens, happens and we can't do ...read more

    One Died So That Many Could Live

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Mar 15, 2015
     | 6,319 views

    The central message of John 3:16 can be compared to the donation of life giving organs. The donation requires a life, one life sacrificed can provide for several lives, there is no way to say thank-you for such a gift. John 3:16 is very similar.

    Introduction This morning, we look at the shortest possible description of the whole Gospel. John 3:16 is a marvelous passage beloved by so many. Luther referred to it as the Gospel, within the Gospel, or, the Gospel within a nutshell. And such it is. This short verse of less than thirty words ...read more

    What do you do when life gets crazy? When you are worn out, tired, discouraged, when things have not gone well, when you are, if not at the end of your rope, pretty close to the end – what do you do? I have confessed this before, even though people don’t always believe me – I ...read more

    The love of God for humanity is as unfathomable as the depth and scale of the universe. But we can, in a small yet intimate way, gain an understanding of and even identify with that love.

    I think most of us are well familiar with the developmental disorder known as Autism. It seems that its being diagnosed more and more frequently these days. In fact, the CDC estimates that Autism affects one in every 68 children in the US. It’s so common that most of us either have someone in our ...read more

    God doesn’t give up on us even when we give up on ourselves. As someone has said, “It ain’t over until God says it’s over.”

    He’s Not Given Up On Us Yet Philippians 1:1-6 There are times that Christians may become discouraged and feel like giving up because things aren’t going well. Some may feel that either they have messed up in life and cannot be used by God or that God for whatever reason has just given ...read more

    The question we are tackling this morning is asked perhaps more than any other question about God. It has been referred to as The Achilles Heel of Christianity – the question that often keeps people from becoming believers in Christ.

    I am concerned that our Thanksgiving celebrations might cause us to focus more on the things that we have, than the God who gave them to us.

    Thanksgiving is approaching. Have you considered how privileged we are here in America? Statistically, 3,000 Calories are consumed by the average person at Thanksgiving dinner. 45 Million turkeys will be eaten this Thanksgiving. 50 million pumpkin pies are eaten at Thanksgiving, 40 million ...read more
