    Paul highlighted a few facts: (1) our contribution in ministry is critical (you are saved to serve), and (2) each contribution is unique (you are shaped for a purpose).

    The lost responded and those of His people that recognized His favor led them into the Kingdom. The rest sit on the side lines to watch the show or criticize it.

    The Coming Harvest The Great Commission and the harvest scriptures are some of the greatest examples of our goal as the Body of Christ to reach the World for God. Christians almost always try to reach the lost thinking like a Christian or from a Christian perspective ...read more

    It's a common enough topic. Some people know how to invest, and others don't. But the result of each is critical. Especially in the lives of our children.

    Passage: Matthew 25:14-30 Intro: We have talked a lot in the last few weeks about being “ready” for the return of Christ. 1. might wonder what that means. 2. “PJ, it’s Mother’s Day!!!” 3. absolutely, and mothers in specific and parents in general can take ...read more

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and ...read more

     | 601 views

    This sermon deals with the dangers that come with technology and the importance of being able to correctly discern the difference between true, critical knowledge and inconsequential, time-wasting knowledge.

    In my last sermon, against the backdrop of current world events, I shared with you from Scripture how we could know we are living in the last days of this earth’s troubled history. We looked primarily at Revelation 13 and 14 and discussed some of the signs of the times that strongly indicate where ...read more

    Driven To Denial Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 28, 2018
     | 4,569 views

    Although there were clear warnings, Peter ignored those and denied Jesus. We may tend to be critical, but we have been guilty of failing to heed the warnings of the Spirit. Warnings left unheeded are of no value.

    Driven to Denial Mark 14: 66-72 The long night of pain and suffering for Jesus had begun, and the difficulty continued to mount. He suffered in agony, praying under a heavy burden in the Garden of Gethsemane. After His prayer had ended, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, led a multitude, sent by ...read more

    Leading and following during uncertain eras of church life require us to keep a clear head. So does handling life. Paul rehearses some principles that can help us do that.

    Keeping A Clear Head During Mixed-Up Times 2 Corinthians 10 1. I had a stressful weak; my sister is approaching death, and she and my brother-in-law had to talk about some painful decisions. 2.

    Teaching Our Children The Way To Go. Series

    Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 23, 2013
     | 7,366 views

    From the beginning, the family has played a critical role in the outworking of God's purposes on earth. As the fundamental building block of society, it was designed to provide the context for the nurture and training of each succeeding generation.

    The family was also designed to reflect and flesh out spiritual truth. Scripture uses the imagery of the family to speak of our relationship with God in Christ. As believers, we are adopted children in the household of God (Rom. 8:15-17). We are also heirs with Christ (Rom. 8:17; Eph. 1:11; 3:6). ...read more
