Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 28, 2023

The Battle Within

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Apr 11, 2021

If we want to be useful for God, we will need to learn to say "no" when our body calls for food or rest in ways that hold us back. When the devil tried to deter Jesus from his mission by tempting him to turn stones to bread when he was supposed to fast, Jesus stood strong.

Perhaps once or twice in a century a truly titanic battle occurs in which the history of earth hangs in the balance. The D-Day invasion might be one.

Lord Of The Storm

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 11, 2023

Everyone experiences storms in life. Storms are miserable. They are dangerous. But Jesus wants us to be calm in them. And they provide almost unique opportunities to learn to trust Jesus.

I’d like to show you a little video clip of an actual storm on Lake Galilee so you can get an idea of what that storm might have been like. [Video clip.] Jesus and his disciples ...read more

Don’t Quench The Fire Of The Spirit

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 12, 2023

Do The Hard Work First.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 17, 2023

After living more than 60 years, I know that any claim that offers an effortless way to develop a lean, well conditioned body is a hoax. So is any sermon title that promises an easy way to become like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Why Do We Need The Bible?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 30, 2024

But God is telling us today that when we ground our lives on God's Word, we are following the conductor of the universe while playing the beautiful song He created us to play.

The title of the message is why do we need the Bible. That's a question that I would expect to be asked from a child. Or maybe even a youth. But I am sure that there are adults out there that ask the same question. Have you ever been to a symphony? You go into the auditorium and you grab a ...read more
