Our Inheritance In Jesus Alone Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Feb 24, 2022

What Paul is wanting the church in Ephesus to know - and for us to know as well - is that we have a wonderful and glorious identity in Christ. Unfortunately, there are many believers today that do not understand or live into their God-given birthright as adopted children of God.

"Stepping Out” Pt. 6 Series

Contributed by Sean Dees on Mar 3, 2022

We have to share and write the vision in clear and simple ways so that the believers can see it and run with it. We have to get them to see what we are seeing from the Lord.

In this series we have gone from the former things to the latter. I asked for you to get plugged in to the vision, and then challenged you to leave your comfort zone and run to the gift zone, which prepared you for the challenge zone which takes you to the end zone. I told you that you have a ...read more

Heroes Of The Bible: Esther Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Mar 7, 2022

The Bible is full of heroes! They don't wear spandex or fly around in capes and cowls, but God empowered these heroes and heroines to accomplish some pretty amazing feats that can inspire us to become heroes of God ourselves. Our next hero is Esther. (Alliterated Outline, PowerPoint Available)

Endeavoring To Keep The Unity

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022

“The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.” I believe we all will concur with that statement.

The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” But if it is true that a church full of people who love the Lord and each other is the nearest thing to heaven on this earth, it must also be true ...read more

Jesus Cleanses The Temple

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2021

When Jesus cleansed the Temple, it was symbolic of His determination to purify His Church, and, after His coming into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, to purge out the things which defile the temples of our bodies. Sanctification.

JESUS CLEANSES THE TEMPLE John 2:13-22 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. The pharmacist in the town drug store overheard a boy talking on a cell phone. "Hello, sir, I was calling to see if you needed a lawn boy. Oh, you have one. Well, is he adequate? Oh, he is! Thank you, I was just checking," ...read more

Who Can Endure The Day When He Comes? The One Who Sees Himself As He Is, And The One Who Sees The Lord As He Is.

Contributed by Joel Pankow on Dec 3, 2021

Malachi prepares us for the Final Coming, as he points for to John and Jesus, and shows us what Jesus does as the refiner of silver.

12.5.21 Malachi 3:1–7 (EHV) 1 Look! I am sending my messenger! He will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord, whom you are seeking, will come to his temple!

Stand And Strive Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Paul said to put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Without this weapon of endurance we will not stand but fall wounded from his fiery darts of affliction.

William Lloyd Garrison was born in 1805 and when he became a man he had the audacity to think he could remove a mountain and altar the flow the river of history. Slavery was that mountain, and what a mountain it was. Slavery had existed from the dawn of civilization, and it was one of the most ...read more

Let The Fire Burn Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 7, 2021

Paul recognizes that God has given man this power, and that is why he urges them not to lose it, but says quench not the Spirit. Let the fire burn he pleads. We need the heat, the light, and the power that only can be ours as we yield to the fire of the Spirit.

An embarrassing situation marked the passing of a well known fire chief. None of the family has spoken to any member of his engine company since the funeral. With the best of intentions these fire men sent what they felt was a high tribute. It was a floral arrangement with gold letters saying ...read more

And Injustice For All

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 23, 2023

The unjust judge is only a problem if we confuse God and man, and put our trust in the one instead of the other.

Have you ever felt that God just wasn’t listening? Silent, uncaring, even absent? Perhaps you have a problem, a need, a pain, a burning question; you bring it before God, and - nothing happens. You remember what Jesus said about persisting in prayer, so you go on battering at the heavenly gates - ...read more

"Expect The Unexpected This Christmas”

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Jan 2, 2023

As some of said, “If we expect to hear the Christmas gospel without the Advent call to repentance, we will find ourselves surprised by John and unprepared for Jesus.” So, we ask the Holy Spirit to open our hearts to the message and ministry of both John and Jesus.

“It wasn’t what I expected.” Whether you are young or old, a man or woman, a girl or a boy, you have probably experienced something that caused you to have that reaction. Perhaps it was connected to some food that you tried. You were feeling a little adventurous and you ordered something at a ...read more

Easter Preparations - Part 1 Series

Contributed by Todd Blair on Apr 4, 2022

The circumstances around the death and resurrection of Jesus

If I were to ask most people how they are preparing for Easter, how do you think they might respond? Now, I'm not asking you. I'm asking most people in this world, not this godly, heaven-minded, holy and spiritual family of believers here this morning. But if I were to ask the common person ...read more

Faith That Marvels

Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 15, 2024

This Centurion in our story today is a model for us of Christian service. He is a man with authority over 100 soldiers, but he became a servant to his own servant when he called upon Jesus to heal him.

Under The Shadow Of His Wings (Part 2)

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 16, 2021

This message was written in June 2020 to address the Corona Virus pandemic. This passage from Psalm speaks of how God will send His angels to deliver us from evil and from the pestilence.

Last week, I introduced Part 1 of our message by saying that we have endured some crazy events in America during the first six months of 2020, with the impeachment trial; the Corona Virus pandemic; and then racial and civil unrest, accompanied with looting, rioting and terrible violence. And I ...read more

I Am Faithful Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 25, 2021

Although the Psalmist Ethan finds no resolution to the tension between God’s promise and God’s delay in fulfilling His promises in Psalm 89, we know that God DID indeed fulfill His promise to David don’t we? The line of David did not end in the exile.

I make promises all the time … and I always intend on keeping them every time I make them. But you know what? I don’t always keep them … not all of them … try as hard as I might. I’m going to let you down sometimes … disappoint you .. if I haven’t already. The one promise that I will always ...read more
