    You can make it through the storm because Jesus calls you, HE prays for you, He comes to you, and He will bring you through.

    THE PERFECT STORM Matthew 14:22-33 By R. Juthman INTRODUCTION On October 30 of 1991, a storm stronger than any in recorded history hit the coast off of Gloucester, Massachusetts. This storm created an almost apocalyptic situation in the Atlantic Ocean, where boats encountered waves of 100 feet - ...read more

    The Weapon God Supplies Series

     | 5,595 views

    The words of the Word are the sword God has given to each Christian to defend the territory assigned. We must learn the Word and employ the Word, if we will successfully resist the evil one.

    “Take … the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” God’s Word is the sole weapon provided to His people to enable them to fulfil His charge to stand firm on the ground that He won through sacrifice. Whenever we think of the Bible, we seldom think of it in militaristic terms. However, ...read more

    A Welcome Change In Government Series

     | 2,469 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more

    The Spirit Of Hope

     | 5,198 views

    If there are two things which are universal to the human condition, it’s that we all hold hope dear to our heart, and we all have to face disappointments and some time or another. Though many may not realize it, hope isn’t just a universal experience, it’s a universal need.

    OPENING STORY On this Armed Forces Day weekend, I am reminded of one of the persistent dreams of my childhood. When I was a kid, there was nothing I hoped for more than to one day be a Soldier like my dad. In fact, both my parents had served, and some of my earliest memories were putting my dad’s ...read more

    Our culture would have us to believe there is a sea of ’truths’ to choose from in determining our beliefs and ethics. The 10 Commandments hold for us ultimate truth & meaning from an ancient past towards an eternal future.

    Exodus 20:1-11 Bibliography: Culture Shifts, Lesson 4 Over the last several weeks we have been exploring the changes that have taken place in our culture over the last forty years. Many have begun this new year with commitments (New Year Resolutions, if you will) to strive towards being more ...read more

    Hell: The Literal View Vs. Non-Literal Views

    This sermon is based on a study of several books by authors who hold to a variety of views on the doctrine of Hell. Please note that the format of this website does not enable me to include footnotes where they were originally placed in the sermon. Howe

    In contemporary Christianity, many questions have arisen as to the reality of hell. While the Bible teaches a literal view of an eternal hell, there has been a widespread embrace of anything but a literal view. There has been much speculation about what the Bible actually teaches about nature and ...read more

    Stories Of The Stones

    Jesus told the Pharisees that, "If these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out." I wonder, what sort of story would a stone tell us, if it suddenly discovered a voice of its own?

    I. Introduction A. This passage has often been misinterpreted that, should the people hold their peace, then the Lord would cause the very stones to begin to praise Him. 1. In Matt. 3:9 and Luke 3:8, we find John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness; he declares “...That God is able of these ...read more

    living in our society and are world today, if there is anything we need to take hold of, if there’s anything the Christian needs to understand and experience, it’s the infilling, the experience of walking step by step with the Holy Spirit.

    JN 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command. 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever-- 17 the Spirit of truth.

    We all need encouragement; we all need a coach to tell us, child you can make it; just hold on a little longer; don’t give up; it’s going to be alright.

    November 16th, 2003 Let us pray Welcome... If you missed Bible Class last Wednesday, you missed a blessing. By the way, no one called me to say they could not make it, so it might have been because it was windy, and maybe you had no lights. Bro. Holloway’s topic was, "Don’t brag - it wasn’t ...read more

    Today, we’ll look at how we can learn to hold our tongues and how we can use them effectively. Lack of communication and faulty communication has been the cause of broken family relationships.

    After last week’s message on meeting a spouse’s needs, someone left a note on the on the floor at the door to my office. It’s from “Desperate Husband.” Dear Rick, I need your advice. I tried practicing what you taught in last week’s sermon. I took your idea of small gifts and gave it a ...read more

    Some men try deliberately to deceive and fool you, but this is rare. Usually it is just a church taking hold of one particular belief, not knowing it is ungodly. It is the leadership’s job to keep watch for this. Ez 33:6.

    Everyone is courious about the future. What it holds even where will one be when eternity comes knocking at their door. We all have one of two choices. Hopefully yours is Heaven. Let’s see why!

    Introduction We all are a little bit curious about what the future holds. Even if we have a slight hint we still have an inquisitiveness about it.
