Jesus Our Model For Prayer Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Apr 17, 2016

When we approach our Heavenly Father in prayer we need to understand that He knows us better than we know ourselves. For that reason we need not be afraid to bring before Him our doubts and fears as well as our questions about faith and life.

Jesus our model of prayer Matthew 6:5-14 Prayer 5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.

Praying For A Collision With The Holy Spirit

Contributed by Delray Lentz on Feb 10, 2023

Today’s message will be centered around Acts 1:4-5, and we’ll look at several passages that will bolster this message, and why I believe the body of Christ (the church) needs a collision; now perhaps, more than any other time in our history.

How many of you are like us, before we go on a trip we say a prayer asking for travel mercies, something like this “Lord, we are praying for a collision”… Y’all are looking a bit confused out there! We’ll get back to that. Today’s message will be centered around Acts 1:4-5, and we’ll look at ...read more

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 10, 2018

Be In The Now

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 8, 2018

It's easy to get sidetracked and let your mind wander. We get focused on things from the past or what's in the future. This can be especially true as we head into the new year. If we're not careful we'll risk losing out on making the most of the moment.

BE IN THE NOW INTRODUCTION: Be Here Now is a book published in 1971 by Ram Dass on Hindu spirituality and yoga. I've never read the book and don't subscribe to Hinduism but the principle of the phrase itself is a valid one. Be here now communicates the importance of keeping your focus on what ...read more

The Law Of The Harvest

Contributed by Jim Keegan on Oct 12, 2021

The good seeds we plant, through our thoughts and actions and habits, will bear fruit through the faithful blessing of God. He’s more than ready to do his part, if we’ll only do ours. That’s “the law of the harvest."

Quench Your Thirst With Living Water!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Mar 6, 2023

Water and thirst. Those are two powerful pictures that we find in Jesus’ interaction with a Samaritan woman at a well. May God the Holy Spirit enable us to recognize the insatiable thirst that sin gives us. And every day, let’s quench our thirst with living water.

This reading from John 4 uses something from everyday life that is intended to give us a powerful connection to spiritual truth. It’s supposed to touch our head and our heart and impact our emotions. But I fear that it is lost on us. What am I talking about? It’s just plain water. Well, I ...read more

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 3:21-29 - Message 10 – The Law Was The Guide Dog – All Locked Up Under Sin – Exploring Baptism In The New Testament Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 13, 2024

The Law could not make one righteous but pointed the way to Christ. Scripture locks everyone up under the control of sin. The Law also locked up the ones under it as well. We open up the meaning of baptism in the New Testament, both water and Spirit. Both are essential.

The Falling Away Comes First

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 18, 2024

The Thessalonians were looking forward to His coming. But something caused them to be “shaken in mind and troubled.” The assurance Paul gives to them gives assurance to us as well: the Lord has promised to return for His own, and we have not missed it. The falling away will come first.

Alba 3-17-2024 THE FALLING AWAY COMES FIRST II Thessalonians 2:1-12 My wife, Janine, tells about a dream she had when she was very young, likely no more than four years old. At that time her family lived on a farm in North Dakota. There was a long driveway from the road to the house. In her ...read more

Warning!!

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Apr 15, 2025

Many warnings are ridiculous, but there are also many that, if heeded, could save our lives. Like taking cover when a tornado hits, or turning around when the bridge is out. There are other warnings that are very important as well, and if not heeded will cause lasting hurt to our spiritual lives.

Alba 4-13-2025 WARNING!! I Corinthians 4:14-21 If there is danger ahead, it is good to have a warning. And it is wise to pay attention to the warning, whether it is a tornado siren, or a sign that says “Bridge Out”. But some warnings are worthless, ridiculous really, almost a joke. For ...read more

Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control (12th Sunday After Pentecost 2024)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 8, 2024

One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".

ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Ephesians 4:25-32  So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.  (26)  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ...read more

The Courage To Take A Stand Series

Contributed by Jeffery Anselmi on Aug 1, 2025

God calls His people to take courageous stands for truth, integrity, and faith. Today, we’ll focus on two individuals—Queen Vashti and Mordecai—and examine three moments when they took bold stands that changed history. Even when it’s costly.

• Have you ever faced a moment when doing the right thing came with a cost? • What do you do when that time comes? • Obviously you do what is right and take a stand! • Maybe. • We live in a world that often demands conformity, a world where it can feel safer to blend in, to stay silent, and to ...read more
