    Demons, Pigs, Restoration, And Rejection

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jun 25, 2023
     | 1,731 views

    Scripture presents demons not as mythological creatures, but as real beings involved in historical and future events. Jesus encountered many of them during His earthly ministry, and in His encounters, He healed the persons whom the demon or demons had taken residence.

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 29, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,713 views

    Do we value the grace of God, and how can we continue in the amazing grace that God has lavished on us? Can bitterness hinder us from obtaining God’s grace? Read on to find the answers to these questions.

    In Hebrew 12:15, “See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no "root of bitterness" springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;” (ESV) The Holy Spirit of God cautions us through the word of God, that if we allow the root of bitterness to get embedded ...read more

    Sermon # 25 - When Will God Answer Our Prayers? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jul 4, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,932 views

    Why are some of our prayers not answered? What can we learn from the prayer of Jabez? May we learn to pray in a way that honors God so that we can receive answers to our fervent prayers.

    We read in 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, “Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother named him Jabez saying, "Because I bore him with pain. Now Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that You would bless me indeed and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, ...read more

    "don't Waste Your Opportunity To Go To Heaven" Series

    Contributed by Perry Fowler on Sep 19, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,707 views

    "How can we neglect such a great salvation?" One of the greatest questions ever asked. Have you considered it? Taken it seriously?

    Perhaps you’ve heard of “lawn chair Larry?” On July 2, 1982 Larry Walters and his girlfriend Carol Van Deusen made history when they decided to purchase 43 weather balloons and purchase enough helium to fill them at their local California Toy Time Balloons store.

    Called To Order, Called To Joy

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Oct 13, 2023
     | 1,426 views

    The most important way that joy becomes strength is by knowing who we are, and whose we are, and why we are.

    Why did they weep? Why did the people of Jerusalem grieve when Ezra read the word of God to them? The people of Jerusalem had just achieved a major victory: rebuilding the wall around the city which had been destroyed during their seventy years of captivity in Babylon. They had foiled their ...read more

    Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

    Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023
     | 1,293 views

    In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

    “Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more

    Identity Theft

    Contributed by Phillip Smith on Nov 11, 2023
     | 1,609 views

    An unstable person who feels inadequate in their identity might steal another’s because it might bring them personal gain. Others who have turned to evil find pleasure in stealing from a person more wealthy than they.

    Knowing mankind has to have individual identifiers for every person, place and thing, he has instinctively created an almost impossibility to recognize things of a spiritual nature. Man cannot readily recognize things of a spiritual nature because he does not see, hear, touch, nor smell or taste a ...read more

    It Ain’t Over…until God Says…it’s Over

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 11, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,609 views

    Just because things don’t work out exactly like we planned, doesn’t mean that God’s not at work in our lives. We must persevere, because "It ain't over until God says it's over!"

    IT AIN’T OVER…UNTIL GOD SAYS…IT’S OVER Rom. 8:28 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: “When Everything Goes Wrong” 1. A woman used her GPS mapping program to get to her accountant’s rural house and ended up far out in the country, lost & in the wrong spot. 2. She finally drove back to the highway on ...read more

     | 2,718 views

    Where do you go when your mind is broken, you feel empty and without a sense of purpose, incapable of finding any joy in your life? You seek a cure from the Great Physician Jesus whose demand to deny self and follow Him is a yoke that is light in His sustaining grace and strength!

    Going Beyond Human Sickness Matthew 11:28-30, 16:21-27 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 What do you do when you get sick? For many of us our first response is to look for an “over-the-counter” solution to see if we can find a cure for whatever ails us on our own! I ...read more

    Jesus was the most magnificent person to ever walk this earth. Let that sink in: the most magnificent person. What did that look like? Today we are going to go on a search for the magnificence of Jesus.

    A Search For Magnificence John 5:31-47 Jesus was the most magnificent person to ever walk this earth. Let that sink in: the most magnificent person. What did that look like?

    If you ask Christian which is their favorite book of the Bible the answer will vary from Genesis to Revelations. However, probably very few if any would say my favorite book of the Bible is Habakkuk.

    The reason they would not choose this book as their favorite is because they do not know that much about the book of Habakkuk. Let me share a few things with you about this precious book of the Bible and it might become your favorite. Let’s look at… I. THE BOOK Out of the sixty six books of ...read more

     | 4,829 views

    If you visit some of the public schools today, and walk down the hallways and look into some of the classrooms, you will see some of the students walking around in the class room.

    And those at their desks are laughing and cutting up with each other while the teacher might have one student at his/her desk trying to teach that student something. It seems that school teachers of the past knew some things that the current teachers of today do not know. That is, they knew that ...read more

     | 1,721 views

    Today we live in a society where people make a profession of salvation and you cannot see any transformation take place in their lives.

    An arrogant church lady stood before a class of young children. She was going to teach them the importance of living the Christian life. She said, “Why do people call me a Christian, children?” A little boy said, “It is because they don’t know you!” But this is not Bible salvation. The Bible ...read more
