Doing The Right Thing

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Aug 25, 2019

Why do some people seem to have more in, from and through their relationship with God? Because they trust in God’s capabilities more than their capabilities and they practice the faith and the self discipline of the word until!

Galatians 5:22-23 MSG But what happens when we live God’s way? He brings gifts into our lives, much the same way that fruit appears in an orchard—things like affection for others, exuberance about life, serenity.

Witness: Integrity #8 Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Oct 24, 2019

Witness requires integrity before the world

We began a conversation a number of weeks ago with a question: what gives us meaning in this life? I suggested that the question is actually a mute point for those who call themselves Christian because if we believe that Christ came, died and rose again then we must also live out this reality. To ...read more

Pray For The Persecuted Church

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

There are millions of christians in other countries who are facing horrible persecution for their faith. They are family to us and we need to pray for them.

You’ve probably noticed that I am always interested in history. I feel that you just can’t understand the way the world is today without learning how we got here. I was a history major in college.

God’s Design In Man’s Despair

Contributed by Dennis Lee on Dec 24, 2018

Today's Sermon is about how Christmas is God's Design in Man's Despair. It is taken from Jesus's genealogy found in Matthew's Gospel. It looks at how God perfectly ordered history, how God works through sinful man, and that we have to resign from being our own gods.

God’s Design in Man’s Despair Matthew 1:1-25 Looking at this title, “God’s Design in Man’s Despair,” it doesn’t look or sound like a positive and uplifting Christmas message, but stay tuned, because I believe you’ll be blessed knowing that God’s has a design for our lives.

The Dust Is Turned To Lice Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 22, 2022

This Plague came from the land, as the two former came from the river. Aaron "smote the dust of the earth, and it became lice (“Kinnim”) in man, and in beast"(ver. 17). This was a new blow at Egyptian idolatry because the earth was worshipped as well as the river.

The Dust is Turned to Lice (Exodus 8:16-19) Exodus 8:16-19 (NIV) Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the ground,’ and throughout the land of Egypt, the dust will become gnats.” They did this, and when Aaron stretched out his hand with the staff ...read more

Positive Escapism Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 27, 2021

Jesus makes it clear that there is a time to take your stand, and there is also a time to retreat from your enemy so that you can be in control, and not at the mercy of the enemies choices.

Some of history's greatest battles have been won by means of retreat. The 13 colonies won the first day of battle with England in the Revolutionary War because of a wise retreat. When Captain John Parker saw several hundred British Redcoats marching on the double toward his 70 or so ...read more

This series looks at Abraham's faith journey's beginning, middle, and end. Part One begins in John 8 with a woman caught in adultery and in danger of being stoned to death by those holding their readied stones, claiming Abraham as the father of their faith.
