    The Pursuit Of Pleasure - Chasing After The Wind Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 1, 2022
     | 2,833 views

    This sermon focuses on the concept of pleasure and the reality that lasting pleasure cannot be found in earthly pursuits but only in the pursuit of God as our greatest good.

    Good morning. I trust you all had a pleasurable 4th of July. Speaking of the word pleasure, I need somebody to define pleasure for me. What does the word pleasure mean? Enjoyment. Satisfaction. Would you be satisfied with this definition? Pleasure is the enjoyment or satisfaction derived ...read more

    I “fool proof” my life when I live based on the truth that God is God and I am not .

    Engagement/Tension Let me begin this morning with a question: How many of you have made one or more foolish decisions in your life? I certainly have and if you’re honest I’m pretty sure all of you have done that too. • Maybe for some of you kids in school, it was the decision not to study for a ...read more

    Pharaoh's Heart Is Hardened. Series

    Paul and the other apostles refused to obey commands from people in authority to stop preaching the gospel, for instance (Acts 5:27–29). They did, however, submit to those in authority in all matters that were not in contradiction to the will of God.

    Pharaoh's Heart Is Hardened. Exodus 7:13 Yet Pharaoh’s heart became hard, and he would not listen to them, just as the LORD had said. – Exodus 7:13, NIV COMMENTARY God HARDENS Pharaoh’s Heart BECAUSE … 1. God Was Responsible for This Pharaoh Coming To Power. This Accords With Rom. ...read more

    Since God celebrates recovery, so must we!

    Ten years ago, I received a phone call which led to some huge changes in our lives. We had just returned from a trip to Israel, given to us by the church I was pastoring in central Illinois. On my first day back in the office, I received a call from Jim Koehler, who at the time, was the chairman ...read more

    The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022
     | 3,511 views

    This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

    [Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

    We use the phrase "The Pursuit of Jesus" all the time. But what happens when we catch Him? And at the end of the day, is it we who are pursuing Jesus, or is it the other way around?

    The Pursuit Romans 12 Good morning! Please turn to Romans 12. This week I spent way more time than I should have watching greyhound races. Don’t worry. I wasn’t betting any money.

    The Sins Of Omission And The Sins Of Commission…which Are The Worse?

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Oct 19, 2022
     | 3,191 views

    In the title of this sermon I asked a question: Which sin is worse, the SINS of COMMISSION or the SINS of OMISSION?

    Before I get through with this sermon I think you will be able to answer that question. Many are not aware the Bible talks about two kinds of sins. (1) THE SINS OF COMMISSION. Illus: Can you remember as a child you did something bad and your dad or mom said, “Wait till I get you home!!!” And ...read more

    Perhaps you've been lucky and haven’t had to endure a lot of life’s common trials and tribulations. If so, “persevering or perseverance” might not resonate much with you?

    Perseverance Perseverance means various things to different people at different stages of their lives. Let's rethink some of the situations we encountered where we demonstrated tenacious determination before we discuss biblical characters that displayed exceptional perseverance.

    7 Things The Cross Of Calvary Provided For Us

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Oct 31, 2022
     | 6,717 views

    Understand the cross does not refer to an ornament hanging around your neck. It is not an emblem seen on a church steeple. It is not the crucifix with some portrayal of Jesus on it. It doesn’t indicate that you are a Christian nor does it guarantee that you are on your way to heaven.

    7 Things the Cross of Calvary provided for us By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I don’t normally wear a cross but several years ago when I was pastoring in Columbus, I had real nice cross that was part of my installation as pastor dress.

     | 4,564 views

    Today’s message centers upon Psalm 61:1-4 and King David’s cry for God to hear him in the midst of His troubles. To find the rest we need in times of distress, we need to go to Jesus, the rock that is higher than anything we might face. Jesus is the true rest in times of our distress.
