Leave It All On The Field Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 26, 2016

The focus of worship is God and what He wants. This sermon drives that point home to end this series.

I hope this series on worship has been helpful over the past month. At least it may have helped put you in the mood for football season! I’ve been pretty upfront about the goal here – to get us out of the armchair, and onto the field – not on Thanksgiving afternoon, necessarily, ...read more

Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022

This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.

Today we come to one of the strangest passages in Scripture. It is recorded in Zechariah 5:5-11. Here Zechariah sees a vision of a basket, a woman in the basket, and two women with wings carrying the basket to Babylon. What does the basket represent? What about the woman in the basket? Are the two ...read more

How many of you have had the experience of praying to God and it seems like God is not listening or not answering your prayer? All of us, I would suspect.

Holy Spirit Baptism Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 7, 2021

This sermon examines Holy Spirit baptism from a Baptist's perspective, asking, "Is it really a second work of grace?" and "Must it be evidenced by speaking in tongues?" Also, "Is being filled with the Spirit the same thing?"

This morning, I’m going to have us look at something called “Holy Spirit baptism.” This is a subject that when mishandled can lead to a lot of confusion; not to mention, feelings of condemnation. The very first time I encountered this term was when I was in college and I attended an Assemblies of ...read more

Refreshed And Recharged! (I Am Recharged, I Am Prepared For Eternity)

Contributed by Cesar Datuin on Jul 19, 2021

This pandemic caused us Christians to be threatened by a virus not by COVID-19 but by a virus called "new normal syndrome" which everyone leads to spiritual dryness. This sermon discussed about how to overcome it and how to stay in God's presence.

Intro: For the last 2 Sundays we heard a lot of exhortations and teachings about how to know and overcome the stresses of life that cause every one of us to be drained that leads us to be recharged.
