Accountability

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 2, 2014

Exploring the possibility of starting accountability groups in our church. What might they look like? How did John Wesley use them? Can they be used for spiritual growth or are they just "sin control" groups like AA?

Video review of 2013 - (Photos from various church events set to the music of "Press On" by Selah) What a great review. Some events were missed but it looks like we’re a group of believers who love one another. What about our personal lives? What about our personal relationship with Jesus? ...read more

Unexpected Jesus

Contributed by Theresa Ratliff on Mar 25, 2013

Do our expectations of who Jesus should be keep us from seeing who he really is?

Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about this story that has always bothered me. How on earth could Mary Magdeline, who has been one of Jesus’s closest friends, look right at him and doesn’t recognize him? Isn’t that like…the president of the George ...read more

What Is The Lord Saying To The Church?

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 21, 2012

Using Revelation 2 and 3 as a spring-board, this is the talk given at our Church annual meeting 2012. I believe the Lord is calling us to return to him as our first love, and to listen to his voice through the Bible and in prayer.

[A note to the reader: This is not an expository sermon. I was asking the Lord what was his message for our 2012 church annual meeting, and Revelation 2 and 3 seemed to be the answer. What follows is a local attempt to interpret these chapters to our situation] What is the Lord saying to His ...read more

I Quit Making Excuses Series

Contributed by Herbert Cooper on Sep 20, 2011

One thing that I’m convinced of, is that I haven’t arrived yet. I haven’t accomplished all that God has for me; And you haven’t either. The fact that we’re still alive means God has more for us.

1. God has more for your life Phil 3:12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. (NIV) (Paul said, I’m not there yet but I’m pressing forward because God has more for me) ...read more

Rekindle The Flame Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 31, 2008

If you don’t love Jesus as much as when you first met him that is a big problem. It is no small matter when a church loses it’s first love for Christ.

As Pastor of a prominent Church in Boston, A. J. Gordon stood to address a packed crowd. Before he began to preach one of the deacon’s escorted a stranger in and seated him. There was something about the man that bothered Gordon. His penetrating eyes made it difficult to preach the sermon. When the ...read more

Isa 53: 3 Jesus Was Despised Series

Contributed by Robert Irvine on Apr 15, 2024

In Theology, if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can assume that God is making an effort to get our attention on the issue. So it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to know that Jesus was despised.

There is a general rule in Theology that if something is duplicated in the Bible, we can safely assume that God is making a determined effort to get our attention on the issue. And so it’s interesting that the word “despised” is repeated twice in this verse. So we can say that God wants us to face ...read more

The Narrow Path - Lessons From A Tight Rope Walker

Contributed by William Akehurst on Jun 7, 2021

There are 2 paths in life; the broad way that leads to destruction and death, or the narrow way that leads to everlasting life. Traveling the narrow path requires discipline and determination to stay on task and not fall or step aside, like that of a tight rope walker.
