     | 1,881 views

    We’ve been looking at a series of parables from Luke’s gospel that have been leading to one of the most profound parables of them all; the story the rich man and Lazarus, or what I’m calling, “A Crypt-tic Tale.” Its moral is to listen to God now or regret if for eternity.

    Jesus Teaches His Disciples (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 4, 2023
     | 1,676 views

    As Jesus continued to privately teach His disciples in Mark chapter 9, we see that He focused on teaching them about pride and prejudice. It was important for them and for us to learn about humility and tolerance.

    Introduction: A. In last week’s sermon, we started a section in the Gospel of Mark where Jesus was privately teaching His disciples some very important lessons on discipleship. 1. The two lessons we explored last week had to do with prayer and the passion of Jesus. 2. In today’s sermon, we will ...read more

    The focus of this sermon is to explore the possible meaning to the phrase "You are gods" in Psalm 82 and referred to by Jesus, and how it might apply to all believers today.

    Who Is Sufficient?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 11, 2025
     | 38 views

    We are not sufficient for the calling of Christ—but He is. In our weakness, His triumph is revealed, and through us the fragrance of His grace fills the world.

A worship service—when it is filled with sincerity and unguarded hearts—reminds us of something we tend to forget: God has already been walking toward us before we ...read more

    Can God Use Me?

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 23, 2025
     | 27 views

    God’s work does not depend on perfect people or ideal conditions, but on ordinary men and women who listen and respond faithfully when He speaks, even in uncertain times.

    There is a question that lives quietly beneath a great deal of spiritual activity. It rarely gets announced. It doesn’t usually show up in public prayer. It hides behind busyness, behind service, behind long familiarity with faith. Can God use me? Not “Does God exist?” Not “Is the Bible ...read more
