    Doing life with God produces lasting change in the way we live (i.e. being gracious to others and traveling light, carrying no offense).

    Doing Life with God Ephesians 4:17-32 Intro: Earlier in Eph. we talked about the BC life & the AD life. Today we will follow a similar pattern. Paul is giving practical instructions on how to live a life that honors God. Paul started this chapter with a challenge to have a walk worthy of God’s ...read more

     | 3,828 views

    1 Peter 4:10 admonishes us to "use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms." What is the greatest gift all believers have received? What gift does this poor, lost world need most?

    Using Your Gifts to Serve Others Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … 1 Peter 4:10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” And our memory refresher verse(s) for today is(are) ...read more

    Exploring the paradox of planning for tomorrow while living for today.

    Do you know what a paradox is? A paradox is defined as “a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.” Our faith as Christians is rife with paradoxes. Let me name a few: Christians conquer through ...read more

    Choose Joy

     | 3,834 views

    There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

    WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD? MAYBE THEY HAVE LET THE WAYS OF LIFE DISTRACT THEM AWAY FROM FAITH AND GOD. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES A “CHRISTIAN” ...read more

    Unity Of The Church - Sermon For Proper 16 - Year A

    Contributed by Ian Bullock on Aug 19, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,177 views

    An challenging exploration of what it means to be the church here and now. This is a re-work of a much older sermon of mine, which feels as relevant now as it did years ago. The analogy was used from another source, although I cannot now remember where that source is.

    In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. Throughout the Gospels we see Jesus involved in situations where a number of profound questions are asked. Questions such as Pilate asking what is truth, or what is power, and today our Gospel leaves us with another when he asks his ...read more

    6 Pictures Of God’s Provision (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Nov 3, 2024
     | 499 views

    Paul knew that God’s promise to deliver and protect him is all he ever needed. For us, even today, God’s promise to save you from your own trials also stands just as firm. Will we cling to Him for rescue?

    Sermon: Responding To The Question, Who Is This? Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 23, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,451 views

    Do you seriously believe this is a king? He doesn’t look majestic. Where is he from? The answer to this question, “Who is this Jesus?” is still the most important question to answer.

    Sermon: Responding to the question, Who is this? Matthew 21:1-11 “ As Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem, they came to the town of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two of them on ahead. 2 “Go into the village over there,” he said. “As soon as you enter it, you will see a ...read more

    Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022
     | 4,699 views

    Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

    Jacob: Manipulating a birthright Genesis 25:19-34 I think many of us will be able to relate to Jacob. He had faults and failings that are very common weaknesses we have. It’s not that we do not relate to the weakness of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham, but Jacobs selfish and ...read more

    The Conflict Of Prayer Vs Pride Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 4, 2025
     | 364 views

    Pride is a terrible snare – it is a destructor with no limits. As soon as pride takes root in your heart, it will absolutely exalt you over others because it gives you a false sense of worthiness.

You know, it's easy in our modern world to get sucked into a self-absorbed lifestyle where our focus is all about us, our wants, our needs, and our desires.

    The Body Is The Lord’s Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 9, 2011
     | 4,478 views

    Sexual sin: 1) Is harmful to everyone involved (1 Corinthians 6:12a); 2) It gains control over those who indulge in it (1 Corinthians 6:12b); and 3) It perverts God’s purpose for the body (1 Corinthians 6:13-20).

    This past week has given the world a preview of the demise of the entertainment industry. Charlie Sheen and Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, as one commentator said, stood on its coffin and hammered in nails, one in Detroit (where Mr. Sheen was booed off the stage) and the other at Rutgers University ...read more
