In Everything Give Thanks

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 26, 2019

Paul told us that thanks-giving, not complaining, is God's best will for us. We're to do it in every circumstance, not just the good ones. A thankful spirit operates by faith and focuses on God. We're to do it in the strength and grace of Christ, which is sufficient.

IN EVERYTHING GIVE THANKS 1 Thess. 5:18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Josh: Why did the farmer run a steamroller over his potato field on Thanksgiving Day? Phil: Why? Josh: He wanted to raise mashed potatoes. 2. Biff: Why did the turkey cross the road? Bob: I don’t know. Biff: It was Thanksgiving ...read more

New Year's Groanings

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 5, 2020

While this world is no longer the one that “God pronounced very good,” Romans 8:18-27 states we as Christians can experience unspeakable joy while living on this earth when we allow our groaning to focus not on our current suffering but on the glory we are about to receive!

New Year’s Groanings Romans 8:18-27 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Ever since God announced a curse upon this world it has been incredibly difficult to survive and thrive amongst the “thorns” of life. Living through the pain of violence, disease, starvation, ...read more

The War Between Light And Darkness.

Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 24, 2020

Let us consider God's first four recorded words: LET THERE BE LIGHT. From that day until the final day before eternity there has been a dualism battle between LIGHT and darkness. Good needs candles that will give themselves for the LIGHT. Be a lamp to the feet of others.

THE WAR BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. On my first missions trip to Haiti the church there had what they called The Great Convention where Preachers and ...read more

Breaking Our Flask

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 1, 2022

Some people, like Judas, are ignoring God's call, as they are too busy making their life in this world secure. Like the woman who broke her alabaster flask, we must break our flesh so the good things of God can pour out of us.

Henry Ward Beecher once said, “In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.”(1) Our passages of Scripture for this morning speak of sacrifice. One definition of sacrifice is “to offer to God in homage or worship,” and another one is “to destroy, surrender, or ...read more

The Handwriting On The Wall Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 9, 2022

God is a good judge, and He will certainly do what even a corrupt earthly judge can do from time to time: He will judge the living and the dead on that day. The only hope you have when being weighed is to have the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ on your side.

I bet you noticed it like I have. People have changed from just two years ago when the fear of a virus swept our world. People are not the same. Half of us are angry, and we are irritated. People are quick to say things, and they are quick to split partnerships and even friendships. People are not ...read more

Overcome By Extravagant Praise Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Oct 29, 2021

It may seem counter-intuitive, but when we are distressed, we should begin to praise God. No matter what we are facing, God’s goodness is still praiseworthy, His presence is still needed, His power is never fading, and His care for us in our storm is constant.

God Sends A Preacher Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 11, 2022

Are we still waiting for the gospel, eager to hear the preaching? Do we come to church hungry for the food of the Word? To you and me it will be good news only if we realize how much we need it—how much we need the Lord every day, and every hour.

We’re about to do something very old-fashioned. It’s not often anymore that people will sit down for thirty or forty minutes, and listen to another person talking: without interruption, without visual aids, or any active engagement of the audience. But that’s what a sermon is. And so a sermon is an ...read more

Gratitude As A Lifestyle Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Nov 10, 2024

We’re challenged to move beyond occasional thankfulness and embrace gratitude as a daily decision. Gratitude is more than a reaction to blessings—it's a way of life. By living gratefully, we grow closer to God, and become a powerful witness of His goodness to the world around us.

Sermon # 25- Arise And Go Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 13, 2024

Once the fish had vomited Jonah out, God’s call came to the prophet to arise and go to Nineveh and preach to the people. God’s call to the church is to take the good news of the gospel to those outside. May we too arise and go to fulfill the great commission of Jesus.

We read in Jonah 3:1-2, Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”(ESV) These are the words of God to Jonah after the fish vomited him out onto the shore. We are not sure in what ...read more

The Book Of Lamentations – Part 18 – The Kindness And Compassions Of God Never Fail. Wait - And Seek The Lord As Your Portion - Chapter 3:22-26 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 8, 2025

We have an interesting message here. God’s kindness and compassions NEVER fail because the Lord is my portion and that gives hope. The Lord is good to those who WAIT and SEEK Him. Waiting silently for the Lord is so commendable. We wait for His salvation for it certainly comes.

THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 18 – THE KINDNESS AND COMPASSIONS OF GOD NEVER FAIL. WAIT AND SEEK THE LORD AS YOUR PORTION - CHAPTER 3:22-26 In the last message we saw a complete change of thought.

Go! And Rejoice In Your Heavenly Citizenship - Psalm 87 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Aug 15, 2025

Imagine standing before the gates of Heaven one day. Will you present your own works, your own goodness, your church attendance? Or will you have the one passport that Heaven recognises — your name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, purchased by the blood of Jesus Christ?

Fired Up: From Anger To Action

Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025

Anger shows up—on the road, at home, at work. Psalm 37 teaches us not to “burn” (fret) but to trust, wait, and do good. The bible distinguishes anger that seeks justice from anger that seeks control. Trust God’s justice, practice meekness, and pursue peace in Christ.

Road Rage Let me ask you a simple question: “When was the last time you got angry?” Maybe it was this morning when that driver cut you off in traffic. Maybe it was last night when your teenage kid rolled their eyes at you one too many times. Or maybe you’re angry right now about something deeper - ...read more
