God makes the humble great.

The Eighth Son 1 Samuel 16:1-14 One of Ancient Israel’s greatest backslidings was when the people of Israel came to the Prophet Samuel and asked for a king “just like all the other nations” (1 Samuel 8:5).

Worrying About Money Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Plainly, most of us worry about money. If we don’t have enough, we worry about getting more and if have money, we worry about keeping what we have. But the worry for a believer is a signal of a deeper issue.

Today, we continue our series Keeping Up With the Jones and I am eager to share with you how God has used today’s passage in my family’s life. And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on. 23 ...read more

Fathers Day

The message Paul gave to the Church in Corinthia is the same message he would give to the modern day Church, to the men of the Church- be watchful of demonic attacks, stand fast like Christians in a fallen world, behave like men at all times and be strong always.

How They Conquered The Dragon

Contributed by John Gaston on Sep 16, 2021

This is a rewrite of Charles Spurgeon's great message on spiritual warfare. It points out that all Christians are supposed to be warriors for Jesus, fight with the same weapons as the early church, and wage war by the same Spirit. It will bless your people!

HOW THEY CONQUERED THE DRAGON Rev. 12:7-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A husband said to his wife, “I’m not sure ‘you can’t take it with you.’ I’m going to put a few thousand dollars in the attic and when we go up, we can pick it up on our way to heaven.” 2.

Just tell the Lord about it Mark 1:29-31

The Healing of Peter's Mother-in-Law was a seemingly insignificant miracle in a day of many miracles nevertheless, the three synoptic evangelists deemed it important enough to record. In Matt. 8:14-15 it said “And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, ...read more

The Value Of Death Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 12, 2021

By rough estimate I counted 750 references to death and dying in my concordance of the Bible. If we are to live by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, then no Christian can be honest with God's word and ignore the subject of death.

There are two subjects that men have tended to be shy about all through history. These two subjects have been considered off limits as topics of public conversation. It was taboo to speak of them openly. The two subjects are, sex and death. The paradox of this is, there are no two more ...read more

"The Culture Of The King”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 18, 2021

James and John request places of honor in the new "political kingdom". Kingdom culture is servanthood. We live in an ambitious world. Life is about winning and losing. They were dreaming of goblets filled with wine, not cups of suffering.

In Jesus Holy Name March 15, 2021 Text: Mark 10:45 (Matthew 20:20-25) “The Culture of the King” There is a question that Americans should be asking today, not just in the church, but the entire society. “Where are the leaders we need who are not selfish? Do they exist?” Isn’t ...read more

How Was I To Know?

Contributed by Keith Broyles on Mar 21, 2021

This sermon is a first-person narrative from the perspective of the innkeeper. We have all too often made the innkeeper into a bad guy. What if he did everything for the family that he could do?

Well, it would seem I was between a rock and a hard place. I was in a situation, where there were no easy answers. I looked hard for the simple answers because, you know, they say the simplest is always the best. But, it wasn’t a simple lesson I faced. Later in his life Jesus faced several of those ...read more
