    Over Coming Battle Fatigue

    Contributed by Don Campbell on Apr 25, 2023
     | 1,871 views

    The first line of the hymn Peace in the Valley reflects the discouragement that often fills the hearts of weary travelers: “Well, I’m so tired and so weary, but I must go along; till the Lord comes and calls me away.” If we are fighting the good fight, we are subject to battle fatigue.

    OVERCOMING BATTLE FATIGUE The first line of the hymn Peace in the Valley reflects the discouragement that often fills the hearts of weary travelers: “Well, I’m so tired and so weary, but I must go along; till the Lord comes and calls me away.” Most of us want that call to be like Abraham’s, to ...read more

    How Do I Handle My Anger? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2021
     | 1,717 views

    The Bible says a Christian is a changed person. Like HGTV and the fixer-upper homes, a Christian is to have a "before and after" in their story. Our "after" is supposed to be really different than our "before."

    It was one of the best-known photographs and most tragic photographs of the Vietnam War.

    God Wants To Help Us Avoid The Unforgivable Sin Series

    Contributed by Rick Crandall on Apr 11, 2022
     | 2,865 views

    How can we avoid the unforgivable sin? 1. We must respect the Holy Spirit as God (vs. 30-31). 2. We must understand blasphemy against God's Spirit (vs. 31-32). 3. We must receive God's help from the Holy Spirit (vs. 33-37).

     | 1,950 views

    Whenever we are faced with a situation, what is within our hearts will shine forth. Jesus said the things we say and do are generated from what is in our heart. This message addresses the question "What fills my cup?"

    What Fills My Cup? Scripture: Matthew 12:34-37; Ephesians 3:16-19; Colossians 1:9-10 Good morning, Strangers Rest. Jesus said in Matthew 12:34-37, “(34) Brood of vipers!

    The False Prophet At Bethel Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 14, 2025
     | 427 views

    Just because one claims to be an old prophet doesn't mean he's a true prophet. This message recounts what happened to a true prophet who listened to an old but false prophet. The true prophet paid dearly.

    Introduction: Bethel was the scene of some good encounters between people and the LORD. Sadly it was also a place where Jeroboam established a false religion, centering on the worship of a golden calf. The background for this message comes from 1 Kings 12-13 Full disclosure: Sermon Central has ...read more

    Ministry can often be discouraging. The battle may be against opposition or indifference. We can learn from Elijah about battle fatigue.

    As we jump back into the book of Acts we find Paul in chapter 20, Paul is wrapping up his 3rd missionary journey and is anxious to return to Jerusalem.

    Good morning again Church! Judging by the dip in the temps, Fall has finally arrived! It seems like every season this year has been late! We had a late spring, summer just about never showed up, now it won’t leave! Some of you have mixed feelings about this. I know Bob is happy, as long as it ...read more

    This message is about the power of prayer and the criteria we should use when considering who we should have praying for us in our times of need and if we meet that same criteria when praying for others in their times of need.

     | 3,005 views

    God has spoken great things about you. Another voice also speaks, Satan the discourager, who will tell you it's too hard to serve the Lord & that God doesn't work with people like he did in Bible days. You must choose: whose report will you believe?

    WHOSE REPORT WILL YOU BELIEVE? Numbers 13:25-33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Abraham bought himself a fancy new computer and was showing it to Isaac one day.

    Elijah is credited with 10 miracles happening during his ministry, some of which we will talk about here. Yet Elijah has no book in the Bible named after him. Elijah was human with emotions, disappointments, fears, and doubts. ‌

    The danger in compromising is that it gives Satan an opening to do his destructive work in our lives.

    A story is told about a hunter who was about to shoot a bear. The bear started to talk and said - “Wait, please don’t shoot”. The hunter said, “I sell bear skins for a living. Why should I not shoot you?” The bear replied, “We can negotiate lah!” “I don’t negotiate with a talking bear”, the ...read more

    An Audience Of One Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 1, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,923 views

    This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more
