    Why Christmas Is All About Giving (& Receiving) Series

    Contributed by James Wallace on Dec 23, 2021
     | 1,921 views

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving. But there’s a little bit more to it than that. And my goal this evening is that you don’t miss what Jesus intended Christmas to be ...read more

    When Your Theology Bumps Into The Facts Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Feb 16, 2021
     | 3,929 views

    A lengthy story about a man born blind provides a clear picture of what happens when your theology bumps into inconvenient facts. Will you reach for God or cling to your predetermined ideas?

    SEEING THE LIGHT: The man was blind but saw by believing and obeying Jesus. - John 9:1-7. a. We’ll get more into the confusion in a moment, but the disciples echo the prevailing theology of the time and presume that someone must have sinned for him to be blind. - vv. 1-2. - It was a theology ...read more

    A Conversation Of Hope Series

    Much had changed since Naomi and Ruth returned from Moab. Neither woman had any idea what the Lord had in store for their future and how their lives were about to change.

    A Conversation of Hope Ruth 2: 19-23 As I studied this wonderful passage, I was reminded of the change that has taken place in such a short time. In the beginning verses, Naomi and Ruth had returned from Moab with little hope or confidence in the future. Little did they know that God was ...read more

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 19, 2020
     | 2,465 views

    In this text Jesus tells the parable (Laborers in the Vineyard) in which Jesus is saying to his critics: “Your idea of God is all wrong, this is what God is like: The kingdom of God is like a “good employer.”

    In Jesus Holy Name September 20, 2020 Text: Matthew 20:1-2,15 Redeemer Grumblers & The Scandal of Grace John Reuman in his book “Jesus in the Church’s Gospel’s” writes; “Jesus….stressed the “grace of God”. Mercy, goodness and love for sinful humanity is ...read more

    In answer to the question: There seem to be a lot of different ideas about how a person can be sure to be allowed into Heaven. I have a lot of family members who tried different approaches. Are they in Heaven or not?

    Question to be asked: There seem to be a lot of different ideas about how a person can be sure to be allowed into Heaven. I have a lot of family members who tried different approaches. Are they in Heaven or not? Intro: I’m going to guess that the main reason for this question is that someone ...read more

    Christmas: Why Did Jesus Come To Us? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 3,024 views

    I’m really glad God came up with the idea of Christmas. But what did God have in mind when He created Christmas? What motivated Him to bring Christmas to us?

    Christmas is really enjoyable on so many levels. But a widow names Stella has an unusual experience on Christmas. Stella’s first Christmas as a widow brought incredible loneliness. One day her doorbell rang and she was greeted by a messenger holding a box. “What’s in the box?” she asked. The ...read more

    The Wife As The Heart

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Sep 24, 2023
     | 773 views

    Do you have any idea why God would create women in the fashion He did? Why the rib? Not the ankle, foot, hand, head, neck, but the rib. That which is the closest to the heart.

    Tonight, we will apply the functions of the physical heart. To this of the wife or the mom in the home. 1. The Bible teaches the man is the head, the leader, the provider, the decision maker. 2. The Bible teaches the man is to love his wife, “as his own body” Ephesians 5:28-29. 3. I don’t feel ...read more

    Jesus emphasised the life on earth is a blessing. It’s a time bound. So, make use of it going beyond the boundaries of man made rules and regulations which are mere ideas not life changing.

    Theme: Working Hours Text: John 9:1-5   Greetings: Dearly beloved in Christ, Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! The Lord is good and His Love endures forever!   Introduction: Our thought for this month is on how to strike a balance between the working hours and ...read more

    Surrender And Trust: Learning To Let Go And Let God Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,334 views

    Two things can radically change our walk with God: surrender and trust. These two ideas go hand in hand, and they are crucial to living out a faith that’s vibrant, powerful, and real.

    Surrender and Trust: Learning to Let Go and Let God Matthew 26:39 (NLT) – “He went on a little farther and bowed with his face to the ground, praying, ‘My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.’” 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) – ...read more

    Training Series

     | 1,899 views

    The focus of this sermon is to help the congregants get sold on the idea that training is a regular part of the Christian life. It is difficult to engage in any sort of intensive training activity unless you are convinced that there is a need for that.

    Debbie and I were blessed to be able to end our vacation on a seven-day cruise through the western Caribbean. Here is a picture of us enjoying dinner in the ship. It was a very enjoyable time. We actually got to swim with stingrays. But, you know what, all that food and sun and swimming is a ...read more

     | 1,758 views

    When you read the word church in your English Bible it is a translation of the Greek word ekklesia. The literal meaning is those who are called out. The general use in Greek was to express the idea of an assembly.

    You are most likely familiar with the children’s hand motion and rhyme to learn about church. Here is the church, here is the steeple, open the door and see all the people. Well, when we really understand church we say, here is the building and here is the steeple, open the door and see the ...read more

    Work Six Rest One! (Labor Day)

     | 1,983 views

    We all have different ideas about what would be the ideal life, and we all strive to acquire it. We will never have the ideal life until we get to heaven.

    Some say that heaven will not be heaven for some people. Illus: That reminds me of the story one of the fellows in church told me. He told me that Bill, Ron, and Jack all died and went to heaven. When they got there, they discovered the most beautiful golf course they had ever seen. St. Peter ...read more

    Can't Shake Off Mom's Voice

     | 4,048 views

    Mothers (or parents) communicate an atmosphere as much as they communicate specific ideas; we as children cannot rid ourselves of that atmosphere, good or bad. But faith in God can lift us to a new self-esteem.

    Just about everybody has a story that involves Mom’s voice. Just about anyone can tell you something distinctive about the things Mother used to say. We can remember not only what she said, but also the way she said it, the tone of voice she used. It’s surprising how many of us can remember ...read more

    The Call

     | 5,533 views

    What does it mean to be "called" by the Lord? This confusing idea has kept many people from recognizing God’s call upon their life. How do you know if God is calling you?

    The Call Romans 1:1 Intro: Have someone demonstrate deer call. Turkey call. Then have telephone ring as a type of call to someone. (Have someone act this part through a micrphone, “This is the Lord speaking.” Lord I did not know you used cell phones. “I use a variety of ways to call people.” This ...read more

    How To Know God

    Many different ideas about God. From the atheist who believes there is no God. To the religious pharisee who would believe you’d go to hell if you don’t live a perfect life.

    HOW TO KNOW GOD The fool has said in his heart there is no God. Ps 14:1. Many people today have their own ideas about God. Atheist, no God. Many people think of God as granddaddy, sit up on my lap and everthing will be alright. Religious, everything from God don’t care what we do just as long as ...read more
