You Are Not Your Own Series

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jun 21, 2022

Sermon - You Are Not Your Own I Corinthians 6:19,20 “Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?

God’s Design For The Church Series

Contributed by Pat Damiani on Sep 8, 2014

God's design: Men who mobilize men and women for ministry.

One of the dangers of topical preaching, like the series that we’re in the midst of right now, is that for me as a pastor, it’s easy to focus on topics that I’m comfortable with and to ignore others that may not be quite as comfortable for me or for you. The other danger is that ...read more

Strong Drink Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Oct 30, 2012

There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more
