Steve Brown talked about a man who asked a mail-order company to send plans for a birdhouse. Instead of sending him the plans for a birdhouse, they sent him plans for a sailboat.

A Day Like No Other Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Nov 1, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 14:6-11 explains four changes that occur at Christ's Second Coming as evidence that it is the true Messiah and in preparation for the new Millennial age. Jesus will be King of all the earth.

Intro Our text today is entirely dependent of the passage we studied last week. Therefore, to get the context for today, we will read Zechariah 1-5. “Behold, the day of the Lord is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; ...read more

The Gog/Magog Prophecy Revealed

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 14, 2022

Who is this Gog and Magog Ezekiel tells us about? And when will they invade Israel? The answer lies in Scripture. But we must be careful not to assume anything by our own understanding. We need God to show us the truth of this prophecy. Which I believe He has done today.

Ever since Russia made its invasion of the Ukraine, pastors, preachers and evangelists all over the world have been quick to get on their proverbial "soap box" and claim that this is the fulfillment of the prophecy found in Ezekiel 38. And for a time, I also believed this was the prophecy ...read more

I'm Not Going To Miss You Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 30, 2022

This sermon continues to focus on Solomon's melancholy view of life and his conclusion to: "Remember God in the days of your youth" because there will come a point where you will no longer remember or enjoy very little.

The passage we will be looking at today is kind of a lengthy one. It is Ecclesiastes 11:7 going all the way down to Ecclesiastes 12:8. This particular chunk of passage is actually considered probably the last words that Solomon wrote at least in this book. Even though there are words that ...read more

Renewing Our Consecration To God’s Purposes Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 19, 2022

This exposition of Zechariah 8:9-13 focuses on the importance of Christians being on task and fulfilling their God-given calling in life. This remnant of Jews suffered unnecessary troubles when neglecting their God-given assignment but blessing as they obeyed.

Intro Our text today begins in Zechariah 8:9 with the words: “Thus says the Lord of hosts: 'Let your hands be strong.’”i The word translated strong is chazaq. It means “to be strong, be courageous, be firm, be resolute.”ii God used this word three times when commissioning Joshua for the task of ...read more

The Flow Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 2, 2022

The focus of this sermon is on Jesus proclaiming at the last day of the Feast of the Tabernacles that soon Living Water (i.e., the Holy Spirit) will be flowing to the people, and whether that the promise is still applicable to us today.

Good morning. Did everybody get a bottle of water when they came in? Don’t you think that was nice of us to give you water? How many of you would have preferred an air conditioner? We are going to take an offering right now for the air conditioning. Actually, the good news is we have ...read more

Extravagant Worship Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 22, 2022

A Prayer For The Dark/Sick Times In Life (Psalm 6) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 20, 2022

When prayer is unanswered, God isn't saying "no." God just isn't listening. God gives this psalm, to encourage you to get his attention.

We continue our very sporadic study of the book of Psalms today, by working through Psalm 6. Now, this is a psalm that deals with, among other things, sickness and healing. So some of you are going to wonder if this psalm was chosen deliberately, because we've spent a lot of time talking, and ...read more
