    Murder Or Mercy: The Death Of Potential

    Contributed by Ron Auch Jr on Apr 18, 2025
     | 165 views

    Because of the deep place murder holds in the heart, most of the time we tend to even ignoring God’s forewarnings.

    “Murder or Mercy” The death of potential I find the simplicity of this statement striking, especially in how it contrasts murder and mercy. Today we are focusing on the contrast between personal choices and God’s mercy. We will also be connecting this idea to how people often take their ...read more

    This sermon explores the cost of discipleship, encouraging believers to prepare for persecution, persevere through pain, and hold onto the promise of resurrection.

    Good morning, beloved members of our church family. It's always a joy to gather together, to celebrate our shared faith and to encourage one another in our walk with the Lord. Today, we find ourselves standing on a precipice of understanding, ready to plunge into the depths of the Word and to ...read more

    Whose Line Is It Anyway

    Contributed by Susan Greene on Feb 23, 2003
    based on 54 ratings
     | 20,390 views

    We are built God tough. We are built on a firm foundation and Jesus is that foundation. Today if God were to hold the plumb line up to measure your life, how would you line up with the plumb line of the perfect life of Jesus Christ how would we hold up?

    Whose Line is it Anyway? There are many times in our lives when we must make decisions/choices. We choose what type of friend we are going to hang around, and we choose the type of food we are going to eat. We make decisions about daycare and schools and jobs. We choose what to wear each day ...read more

    Greed Series

    Contributed by Thomas Black on Jan 28, 2005
    based on 34 ratings
     | 13,455 views

    Greed with it’s power to grab hold of your soul will rob you of making wise decisions, and will turn you into a fool. Greed is costly, it’s not a cute little sin that just sits there being harmless, it’s robs, steals, kills and destroys all that you hold

    Passage: Genesis 13:10-13; 2 Peter 2:7-8 A woman decided to have her portrait painted. She told the artist, "Paint me with diamond rings, a diamond necklace, emerald bracelets, a ruby broach, and gold Rolex." "But you are not wearing any of those things," he replied. "I know," she said. "It’s in ...read more

    People have always longed to know what the future holds ... but we don't need to know the future - we just need to know He who holds the future in His hands! Life is full of uncertainties but God's commitment to you is unwavering! Witness how God can ta

     | 17,782 views

    Hope in God, even when He is not doing anything. Trust in God, even when you do not understand His way. Worship God by holding on to what you know about Him.

    We hardly hear a sermon preached on Habakkuk, which has only 3 chapters, but we do have some popular verses from this book – • 2:4 “The righteous will live by his faith” (quoted a few times in NT), • 2:20 “The Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth be ...read more

    Why and how can and should we rejoice and give thanks in whatever circumstances. Why, because of the gospel. How, by, while holding to the gospel, keeping the new commandment

    Why and how do we rejoice and give thanks? As I share the word of God with you, I pray that you and I may experience "being Spirit-filled." I am very confident that we would experience that as we pay all our attention to the word of God, which I am going to share. The bible says, ...read more

    Never Give Up, Never Surrender Series

    Contributed by Austin W. Duncan on Sep 26, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 203 views

    Paul shows how to return and keep moving—admitting we haven’t arrived, forgetting what holds us, and pressing on toward Christ (Philippians 3:12–16). The direction is the point: let go of past wins and wounds, lean forward, and run because Christ already holds you.

    Last week, we kicked off our series "Back At It," and we talked about how Jesus meets us where we are, even when we've drifted back to our old ways. We looked at the story of Jesus cooking breakfast for His disciples on the shore, calling them back to their true purpose. Today, ...read more

    God speaks four words of comfort, instead of judgment, to his wounded children, and releases them, and us, from those things that hold us captive. And these are voices we all need to hear.

    Back in August, many people were glued to their televisions as the tragic events of hurricane Katrina’s onslaught unfolded in New Orleans. With mandatory evacuations ordered, over a million people left the area successfully, traveling to Houston, Dallas, and other cities. This was the ...read more

     | 199 views

    We know God is just and does righteously. This time we look at an important aspect of God’s judgement - DEGREES OF PUNISHMENT AND PENALTY. No one will have an excuse before the great white throne. What about those who never heard of Jesus Christ or God’s forgiveness?

    THE GREAT WHITE THRONE JUDGEMENT CONSIDERED IN DETAIL – PART 3 OF 4 These studies open up the subject of the great white throne from Revelation 20. It is a terrifying time, so that the earth and heavens flee away. No Christian is judged at the great white throne though all the Church, the Bride ...read more

    “Faith’s Foundations” 2 Peter 1:1-9 Everyday we place our faith in doctors and lawyers and hardly give it a thought! We tend to think that they are very intelligent most of the time.

    How can we be sure that we don’t settle for an evaluation of our life that ultimately won’t hold up?

    Ways That We Judge Wrongly: 1. “He was a good man.” - v. 3a - “judged by you or a human court [day].” - At a funeral, the preacher may give this praise to the agreement of everyone present. That does not settle the matter though, because we as humans do not have the final judgment. - Many ...read more
