Following Jesus: But What Happens When I Blow It? Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 21, 2022

Even a saint like Peter "blew it" when he denied he knew Jesus. Eventually he was restored to a place of service for the Lord. What happens, or what should I do, when I blow it?

Paul wrote “All have sinned and come short of God’s Glory (Romans 3:23, paraphrased)” and none of us would ...read more

Regaining Our Purpose Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If a church has lost its purpose, then that congregation will be deprived of direction and momentum. Understanding our purpose will enable us to stay on the right path, in order to remain faithful and fruitful in our kingdom efforts.

I wish to begin by sharing a verse from the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 29:18 wisely cautions, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). The American Standard Version says it like this: “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” Vision, or rather purpose, establishes ...read more

Heaven Can't Wait Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 30, 2016

OPEN: This is the last in our 9 part sermon series from Revelation. A lot of preachers won’t preach through the whole book of Revelation (it me took me 30 years to believe I could do it) because they feel it is a confusing book - and they fear they’ll get things wrong and mess something ...read more

Only The Lamb Is Worthy

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 29, 2025

A scroll sealed with seven seals is in the hand of the One on the throne, and no one is found worthy to open it or even look at it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears. But when John looks, he sees not a lion but a Lamb that appears slain.

Only the Lamb is Worthy Revelation 5:1-10 I think that as we begin looking at our text today in Revelation 5:1-10, it would help us to understand something of the background that led up to this point in John's vision. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ begins with a powerful vision of the ...read more

Let Others See Christ In You

Contributed by Catherine Dixon on Mar 1, 2017

The world is watching you. In your role, as the “light”, people around you will not slip and fall, or make mistakes that will make them regret bitterly. Even if they do slip, they will recognize their mistake and seek God's solution.

Let others see Christ in You Our text is from Matthew 5 verses 15 and 16 (Common English Bible). “Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on top of a lamp-stand, and it shines on all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before ...read more
