Why Are You Here?

Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Mar 18, 2008

This sermon is one of conformation that everyone in church is not there for the right reasons. We must keep our focus on Jesus the Christ!

Looking To 2010

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Dec 30, 2009

Our hearts should be glad to consider the possible return of Jesus in 2010. People were glad to recognize him as Messiah in 33A.D. I sense some of us may not be as excited about the Lords return as we should be. For some of us that excitement has cooled.

Looking to 2010 Mark 11:1-11 Happy New Year! 2010, just writing the date reminds us of how quickly time is marching forward. We are into a new year and into a new decade of the new millennium. It is hard to believe that we are already this far into a new millennium. Looking back at 1999 there ...read more

Contributed by David Henderson on Nov 3, 2020

You may not want to know this but there are no more shopping days left until Christmas. None. And for some of us here tonight, that is not exactly good news.

A Reckless Path Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Apr 8, 2022

In Revelation 2:14 Balaam is a warning to the church. An insider causing the destruction. Beware of someone on the reckless path causing the church to compromise from within. It is the ultimate sell-out.

The story of Balaam is a fascinating one. What you might think of first with Balaam is that he was the prophet whose donkey spoke to him. It was incredible and there is nothing else quite like it in the Bible. Balaam is significant in Old Testament history and for the New Testament church. There ...read more

Hiring Balaam (Numbers 22)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 26, 2024

Have we hired Balaam to curse our churches, or do we really want to hear from God? Let's look at Numbers 22.

Are preachers tempted to put earning money ahead of doing God’s will? Have we enticed God’s people into bowing to idols and sexual immorality? Let’s look at Numbers 22.

Crisis: Dangerous Opportunity

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 14, 2001

Jesus precipitated a crisis for others around Him: for Judas, for the disciples, for Peter. Their reactions are like ours -- confused -- but Jesus knows who He is in the midst of the crisis.

I’m sure that you have heard many times now that the Chinese character that is usually translated by the English word “crisis” is actually made up of two components – one character that means “dangerous” and the other that means “opportunity.” Put “dangerous” and “opportunity” together, and you ...read more
