    Thanksgiving - Enjoy The Donut

    Contributed by Lane Hastie on Jul 29, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,980 views

    This simple sermon is a great visual expression of Thanksgiving that listeners of all ages can immediately relate to and will remember long after the sermon is finished.

    “As you go through life, make this your goal...look at the donut and not the hole.” Donuts are great! Wouldn’t it be sad if you focused your attention on the hole in the middle. Wouldn’t you miss out? Wouldn’t it be just a wee bit silly to complain about the hole? What a sad mistake it would ...read more

    God doesn’t have a call-in radio show but He has given us His Word. This morning we are going to tune into a little book called Habakkuk and listen in on a conversation between God and a very frustrated prophet.

    The bridge that God has constructed for us to move from the natural to the supernatural is called FAITH. God can only allow the supernatural to happen in your life if you carry yourself across the bridge of faith.

     | 2,286 views

    The Bible not only teaches that Jesus is God, it teaches that He is King over us and over His creation.

    Over the summer we looked at what the Bible had to say about false teaching and teachers in our series Testing the Spirits. This led us into a study of the person of Jesus Christ as we looked at what the Bible had to say about His preeminence and supremacy. We looked at verses like Colossians ...read more

    Out of the darkness comes the light. Every workday, at dawn’s early light, Kevin Napier crawls into a long, black hole. Coal mining is safer than it used to be, though it’s still dusty and dirty, and there’s always concern that something terrible could happen deep inside a cramped shaft.

    Ephesians 5:8–14 NRSV 8 For once you were darkness, but now in the Lord, you are light. Live as children of light— 9 for the fruit of the light is found in all that is good and right and true. 10 Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but ...read more

    Do we offer our worship because we expect Jesus to return the favor and make us healthy, happy, and prosperous? Or do we worship Him simply because He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who alone is worthy of our praise?
