    Sermon # 34 - A True Disciple Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 12, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,982 views

    There are many who follow Jesus, but only a few who genuinely seek to live as His disciples. Let’s understand who a true disciple is, and what Jesus expects of those who are His disciples.

    We read in Matthew 4:25, “Large crowds followed him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Cities, Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.” (GW) Great multitudes of people followed after Jesus while He was here on earth, and there were several reasons why they did so. As we study the ...read more

    The Sky Is Falling

    At some point in my life, whether I’m still alive or dead, I’m going to face Jesus. My name is in the book of life. My life is registered in heaven. I’ve given my flawed and imperfect life to the authority of Jesus Christ. My question this morning is,

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to know the outcome of any decision you were about to make? How would your life be different if you could know the result of a decision before making it? In the trilogy “Back to the Future” this is the idea that these movies experiment ...read more

    1) Authority (2 Timothy 1:1–2a), 2) Altruism (2 Timothy 1:2b), 3) Appreciation 2 Timothy 1:3a), 4) Appeal (2 Timothy 1:3b), 5) Affection (2 Timothy 1:4), and 6) Affirmation (2 Timothy 1:5).

    You can tell a lot about a relationship by the way people address each other. One of the most ironic of addresses is the "dear sir/madam" form letter address. In no way can someone be described as "dear" if we do not even know their name. When we give mother’s day cards, one of the basic addresses ...read more

    Some people ask me, 'Are you one of those narrow-minded Baptists who think only Baptists are going to Heaven?' And I say, 'Dear friend, I'm more narrow minded than that. I don't think all the Baptists are going to make it.' Author: Mike Huckabee

    John 14:1-6 Verse 2-In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. A Prepared Place-A bride and groom many times prepare place for themselves to live! Jesus is the groom and we are His bride! Jesus prepared a place for ...read more

    The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 9, 2018
     | 7,662 views

    In Galatians 1:1-5, the Apostle Paul explains these facts of the Gospel in stating: 1) His authority (his right to speak) (Galatians 1:1-2), 2) His message (the truths he speaks) (Galatians 1:3–4), and 3) His motive (his reason for speaking) (Gal.1:5).

    Martin Luther (1483-1546), is known by many as the father of the Reformation. Luther had tried everything he knew to be a good Christian. He wrote:?"I was a good monk and kept my order so strictly that I could claim that if ever a monk were able to reach heaven by monkish discipline I should have ...read more

    Imagine if a governing authority told you, you must travel on January 1 – no exceptions. Let’s say you were given a one-way plane ticket where you can travel first class. Immediately you are excited but in the midst of your packing you pause to ask, “Where am I going?”

    Learn how to bring to bear the power, authority, and resources of heaven to your situation. While it's Super Bowl Sunday for the world, it's Super Sunday at church. Jesus said, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (Matthew 6:33)

    The Devil Wears Prada Series

    based on 177 ratings
     | 41,107 views

    A commercial we watched for Prada didn’t try to sell clothes or accessories. It’s intent was to sell an "image". Satan’s the same - his goal is to sell us an "image". But what does he try to sell us on, and how can we avoid being snared by his sales pitch

    OPEN: The minister’s group I’m part of came up with this title: The Devil Wears Prada. It was based on a movie by that same name (and I found out later there was a Rock group that same name). But in researching this sermon I found that Prada is a high class Italian fashion Company known for it’s ...read more

    Thoughts And Prayers Matter

     | 12,624 views

    In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

    In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This! As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards (referring to politicians) who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind ...read more

    The record of King Jehoshaphat learning about a planned invasion of Judah provides an example of how we are to respond when we feel overwhelmed and unprepared when we are attacked.

    Take your bibles and turn to 2 Chronicles 20. We’re going to start in verse 17 and then we’re going to back up and get into the chapter a little bit.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 4, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 515 views

    When the King of Nineveh heard the preaching of Jonah and knew that God’s judgement was impending, he got off his throne and humbled himself before God, the King of kings. God must be enthroned in our hearts too and we must allow Him to rule over our lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:6, “When the king of Nineveh heard about it, he got up from his throne, took off his robe, put on sackcloth, and sat down in ashes.” (GNB) When the King of Nineveh heard about the impending judgement as preached by the prophet Jonah, he immediately got up from his throne, took ...read more

My message is a very personal one that resulted from a job loss. It was a difficult and uncertain time in my life, and in ...read more

    Is There Evidence That Jesus Christ Is Alive After Death? An Examination Of The Facts

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 10, 2023
     | 1,337 views

    For me, it’s obvious that Jesus Christ is alive right now. Because he changed my life forever. He set me free from sins and addictions. He changed my family. My grandpa. My mom. He’s still changing lives everyday in this very city, and across the face of the Earth.

    If Jesus is dead then I’m a fraud. If Jesus is dead right now, then we’re all a joke. The atheists would be right. The world would be right. All the good in the world wouldn’t really be good, all the bad wouldn’t really be bad, all our work would be for nothing, and our lives would be truly ...read more
