Caring And Sharing

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Caring enough to share our love and faith meets other people’s needs, physical and spiritual; but it also meets ours as well. Whenever we look out beyond ourselves and reach out to care and share, God delivers us from our own problems.

This morning’s message is entitled “caring and sharing.” Often when we teach on the purpose and life of the church we speak about koinonia, which is a New Testament Greek word meaning “fellowship.” However, one pastor tells us “that koinonia means caring for the poor” and that “Christian ...read more

#6 Palm Sunday Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 29, 2021

The process of recognizing where we are on the road and why we are cheering is exactly what lent has been all about - recognizing Jesus willingness to enter into our pain is a reason to celebrate as well as mourn. We celebrate because of His willingness and mourn because of inability to not sin.

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter. Early church father ...read more

Taking Life & God Seriously

Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Jan 2, 2021

The nation of Israel watched God provide care for them and release from slavery yet God has to exhort them not to forget Him. How could they forget God after all He'd done? Well, in the same ways we forget Him too.

Taking Life & God Seriously Steele Creek Church Eastfield Dr. Tom Bartlett, 1-03-21 OUTLINE Deuteronomy 6:12 (NIV) “Be careful that you do not forget the LORD…” IN WHAT WAYS DID ISRAEL FORGET THE LORD?

The Greatest Words Jesus Ever Said

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 26, 2022

There have been figures throughout history who have had a way with words that have changed lives as well as the destinies of nations. However, the three words Jesus said from the cross - "It is Finished!" gave humanity freedom and forgiveness from sin forever.

There have been people who throughout the progression of civilization have had a way with words and seem to possess a unique grasp of language. They have an eloquence of speech, saying things that are deeply profound. The Lord Jesus was just such a person. Throughout the years of His recorded ...read more

An Identity Crisis

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Apr 26, 2022

Identity answers the question “Who am I?” My identity is based on how I view myself, the foundation I build my life upon, and where I find my sense of worth, acceptance, and well-being. Everything changes when we find the King!

Sermon: An Identity Crisis Scripture: 2 Samuel 9:1-13 “One day David asked, “Is anyone in Saul’s family still alive—anyone to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” 2 He summoned a man named Ziba, who had been one of Saul’s servants. “Are you Ziba?” the king asked. “Yes sir, I am,” Ziba ...read more

The Disease Humanity Can’t Cure

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Mar 27, 2022

Looking at the story of Naaman the Leper from the Old Testament, we’ll examine what the world cannot do, and what humanity cannot heal, but Jesus can, as He forgives our sins and heals our relationship with God, bringing us back into harmony and unity with Him.

Getting Set Ablaze

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Sep 15, 2024

Instead of running from Holy Spirit fire and God’s plan and purpose for our lives, we need to start running towards the flames to get set ablaze. First we’ll look at what Holy Spirit fire does, and then the benefits it provides for our lives.

Getting Set Ablaze Watch on YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urqS5XGpp94 This past year, we saw a deadly fire sweep through Lahaina killing 97 and destroying one of Hawaii’s cultural centers, as Lahaina used to be the capital of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Becoming A Church Member

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 6, 2024

Today, we will explore what it truly means to commit to church membership, why it matters, and how it strengthens both our faith and the church itself. Through this journey, we’ll see how membership allows us to grow, serve, and fulfill our calling as followers of Christ.

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them ...read more

We Are Not Ignorant Of Satan’s Devices Or Schemes – Part 12 - The Final One Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 14, 2023

We close this whole series with a poem that suits the subject very well. It is a poem about Satan’s evil and activity. The poem may prove difficult for some but take it as a challenge. There are footnotes to aid in the understanding of the themes. I hope you can slowly work through it.

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

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

Unlocking The Power Of Thanksgiving

Contributed by Amar Chandnani on Jul 13, 2025

1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. What Happens? What happens when we build this attitude of gratitude? The SHIFT from a state of ILL-BEING to WELL-BEING is explicitly triggered by thankfulness and gratitude.
