    Jesus teaches His disciples the proper place for their relationships, possessions and even their own lives.

    The Right Place Mark 10:23-31 • There is a lot of talk about values. • It seems in our relativistic world, values depend upon the situation. • However, the Bible has values that do not change. Ill. A group of friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night ...read more

    The Money Mindset

    Contributed by Jeff Van Wyk on Apr 13, 2013
     | 10,690 views

    Money was designed to be our servant, never our master. It is your mind-set that determines whether you will be rich or poor.

    The Money Mind-Set MONEY HAS PURPOSE There are so many Christians today who struggle with a belief that it is not possible to be both rich and spiritual. Somehow we tend to create a separation between financial abundance and spiritual growth. Nobody is created poor. As a matter of fact, God is ...read more

    What Do You Worship?

    Christ made this profound statement to the woman at the well, "Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship..." Do you know what or who you worship? Do you have the right object of worship?

    What Do You Worship? John 4:19-24 Jesus' encounter with the woman at the well is one of the most beloved stories in the Gospels. While sitting at the well, Christ discussed with her their differing views of worship. In that discussion the Lord made this profound statement, " Ye worship ye know not ...read more

    Authority And The Fear Of God

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,587 views

    Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

    Matthew 7 ends with the amazement of the crowds who heard Jesus teachings. They observed that Jesus spoke with authority and not as their teachers of the law or scribes. We noticed several passages last week about the fear of the Lord and its importance to our lives as Christians. Without the ...read more

    God has called us to a life of accountability and worship.

    A Consuming Fire, Hebrews 12:18-29 Introduction What is your motivation for attending church today? You say, "Well, it's the Sabbath and we're supposed to keep it holy." Actually, it's not the Sabbath. Today is the first day of the week. It is the day the early Christians chose instead of the ...read more

    More Of Jesus' Mission Series

     | 4,919 views

    The "woman at the well" is a renowned Biblical story even though the woman's name is never mentioned, but that is because she never was the central figure in that story. It is the "Word Incarnate" who is revealed.

    More of Jesus’ Mission John 4:27-42 Unnamed people most often are not remembered; the world in which we live basically teaches the opposite: You have to try and “make a name for yourself!” The Samaritan woman at the well remains nameless to us to this day, but Jesus’ ...read more

    This is an intro to the series on Judges and sets the stage and context for the following sermons on Gideon and Samson. You could say that the theme of this sermon is "What went wrong?"

    WHEN FAITH COMPROMISES WITH CULTURE Culture has a very powerful influence in our lives. What our culture dictates we often follow along with. If our culture says it is okay, then it must be okay. In some circles of church community smoking was considered a sinful practice. Now our culture says it ...read more

    I doubt there’s a person here who hasn't had a dark night experience when God didn’t seem to hear your desperate cry for help or answers. Worse than that it seemed he broke contact with you and you felt dreadfully alone.

    “When God Seems Silent” Exodus 32:1-7 (The Message) The story is told of six WWII Navy pilots who left their aircraft carrier on a mission. After searching for enemy submarines, they tried to return to their ship shortly after dark. But the captain ordered a blackout of all lights on ...read more

    Too often we think God has too many rules and laws and we do not embrace God because of the rules/legalism

    Believing and Not Believing The God of Rules May 7, 2017 I believe there are lots of people who would love to be followers of Jesus, people who want to believe, however, something holds them back. While these people are rejecting God, I believe they are doing this because they have a distorted, ...read more

    We are designed to be different, to be interdependent, and to be one in Christ.

    1 Cor 12:12-31 - Our Oneness in the Diversity Paul explained in the previous section that God has given the Body of Christ the various gifts necessary for the growth of His church. • The spiritual gifts come from a common source (the Holy Spirit) and for a common purpose – the building up of the ...read more

    Spiritual warfare is real.

    INTRODUCTION • In life, it is easy to stick our heads in the sand and act as if we do not see something, or if we do not acknowledge something, it is not happening. • Since I graduated High School, I have struggled with my weight. • I was not struggling because I thought I looked ok until I ...read more

    Being Servants And Stewards Of God Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on May 16, 2022
     | 2,813 views

    We can learn from the words of Paul to his accusers the perspectives we need to adopt in the face of opposition in ministry. Paul understands where his authority comes from, knows to whom he is accountable, and trusts in God's final appraisal of his works.

    1 Cor 4:1-5 Being Servants and Stewards of God We have covered the first 3 chapters of 1 Corinthians over the last 10 weeks. Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

     | 5,536 views

    There is quite a bit of confusion among some as to the Mother of Jesus. Who she was and who she was not. Some church traditions erroneously lend into that confusion. Today we look briefly at Mary in a manner of separating biblical fact from unscriptural tradition

    Grace Community Church Winchester, VA www.GraceCommunity.com Rev. Bradford Reaves, Sr. Pastor Watch This Message https://youtu.be/lEeSaAcwtWs Introduction As we come to this portion of the Birth Narrative in Luke, I think it is important to point out a couple of things.

    Redemption Rejected Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Apr 3, 2018
     | 5,613 views

    This message was preached on Palm Sunday. Many people will shout "Hosanna" on one day and the next will cry out "Crucify Him." The reason why many stop following Jesus often not a matter of disbelief but outright rejection.

    Today is Palm Sunday, so called because when Jesus had His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people were exuberant and waved palm branches and placed them in the road where the Jesus, riding a donkey, walked into Jerusalem. It is interesting to note that palm branches, in that day was ...read more
