"Screen Door On A Submarine"

Contributed by David Washburn on Jan 13, 2002

"Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing, it’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine."

You may have heard our music group sing the song, “Screen Door on a Submarine.” Part of it goes like this: Faith without works is like a song you can’t sing, it’s about as useless as a screen door on a submarine.

I'm Changing The Way I Am Living

Contributed by E.t. Cummings on Aug 28, 2001

This sermon is to get the believer to understand that he or she don’t have to live the life they are living. IT’S TIME FOR CHANGE!

“I’m Changing The Way I Live” The problem with the children of God is that we gain the knowledge of God and never allow the spirit of God to complete the work in us. The carnal mind judges after what it sees, feels and taste. Our conciliation can not be in what we have. To be spiritually minded ...read more

Maintaining Family Series

Contributed by Paul Newell on Aug 29, 2001

As we conclude our series on our church covenant we need to understand what it means to actually support our church family.

It still amazes me, almost 25% of all marriages will end in divorce. That means one out of four marriage covenants will be broken, tossed to the sidelines and forgotten. Families will be torn apart. Interesting is the typical reasons given for ignoring the marriage covenant. communication ...read more

Be A 24/7 Christian

Contributed by Andrew Schroer on Sep 23, 2001

Being a Christian means a lot more than going to church on Sunday morning. God wants us to live our life of love 24/7.

For me church was all ...read more

Three Parades

Contributed by Mark Winter on Mar 14, 2001

The parade that wound into Jerusalem on that long ago Sunday was exciting -- but it can’t hold a candle to the parade that took place on Friday.

The parade route begins near the twin towns of Bethpage and Bethany, less than two miles from Jerusalem and winds into the Holy City. The Grand Marshal is an unlikely hero – a rustic from a blue-collar town up north, the son of a woodworker. In keeping with his “common man” image, he decides to ...read more

He’s one of the most popular bible characters. Simon Peter. People are attracted to him, perhaps because he seems one of the most real; we can identify with him.
