    Two Kings (January 5, 2020)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 5, 2023
     | 1,460 views

    In today’s text we have the story of two kings who are poles apart. One is ruthless and his kingdom is fleeting and the other is God’s only begotten Son whose kingdom is forever (Luke 1:32- 33).

    Matthew 2:1-12  Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,  (2)  saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” ...read more

    Psalms 23 - Not Just For Funerals Anymore

     | 3,511 views

    Many people think that Psalms 23 is only read aloud at funeral services. No, that's not the case, Psalms 23 also applies to many other areas in our lives. This short sermon explains this perspective further.

    Let's all read Psalms 23 together: The Good Shepherd 1 The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He renews my life; He leads me along the right paths for His name's sake. 4 Even when I go through the ...read more

    In this series we will encounter many people who need the healing touch of Jesus - even today we will look at three different people who shared in common the one thing - they needed what only Jesus could give them.

    The Healing Touch of Jesus: Breakthrough To Jesus  Mark 1:40 - 2:17 Introduction On this first Sunday of the new year, we begin a new series of messages called The Healing Touch of Jesus. We will be making our way through Mark’s Gospel. In this series we will encounter many people who ...read more

    Sermon # 11 - A Night That Changed Everything Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 8, 2024
     | 1,639 views

    We have a mighty God who can turn things around overnight. If only we can trust God and commit everything to Him in prayer, we will experience God’s miraculous intervention in our seemingly impossible situations.

    We read in Genesis 19:27-28, “Early the next morning Abraham hurried to the place where he had stood in the presence of the LORD. He looked down at Sodom and Gomorrah and the whole valley and saw rising from the land, like smoke from a huge furnace.” (GNB) God had revealed to Abraham that He was ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,378 views

    Many of us have had moments when we expected God to act a certain way, only to be surprised by how He actually revealed Himself. Perhaps you were praying for a breakthrough, but God brought transformation in a different form.

    The Unexpected Jesus: Discovering God in Surprising Ways Introduction Today, I want to explore a theme that could radically transform your relationship with God: the idea that Jesus often shows up in ways we least expect. Many of us have had moments when we expected God to act a certain way, only ...read more

    Rest Or Fire

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Mar 6, 2024
     | 909 views

    This life gives us a choice: Rest or Fire. When we trust in God we can look forward to rest. If we don't, it will be fire. The way I see it, there is really only one good choice!

    Alba 3-3-2024 REST OR FIRE II Thessalonians 1:1-10 A father had three very active boys. One summer evening, they were playing cops and robbers in the back yard after dinner. One of the boys "shot" his father yelling, "Bang! You’re dead!" He slumped to the ground. And when ...read more

    Zerubbabel’s mind was occupied by more pressing matters. Leaders must not only lead in the moment of crisis, but they must also lead us into the future. Before Zerubbabel can lead into the future, God must rebuild his faith and confidence.

    Sermon: God’s Promise of Turnaround Haggai 2:18-23 “Think about this eighteenth day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord’s Temple was laid. Think carefully. I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn. You have not yet harvested your grain, and your grapevines, ...read more

    The world is full of questions. Some ask with curiosity, others with skepticism, and still others with outright hostility. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to be ready to respond. Our faith should not only be lived out but also defended with wisdom and grace.

    An Extraordinary Commission (Part 1)

     | 679 views

    Does Jesus still call and empower believers to do bold and amazing things in His name, like healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons? Does this passage only apply to the first apostles, or can it be applied to us?

    I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this is Part 1 of a two-part message. I want to begin by saying that I was raised in a small country church with a pastor who loved the Lord and His people, and proclaimed only the basics, like sin, repentance, salvation, ...read more

    Its only when we remove ourselves and the word 'if' from the equation, and trust God to do the impossible, that we truly step into faith. The story of David is not a question of 'if', but a testament to his faith. Are you willing to do the same?

He hired both individuals and instructed them to fill a basket with water from a nearby well. The king promised to inspect their work in the evening. One of the men became discouraged, ...read more

    To establish that Abraham’s son, Isaac, was a type of Christ. He was his only begotten son, who was offered unto God; and, raised off the altar of sacrifice, through faithful obedience, unto his father. We will examine how Isaac’s life, offering, and obedience, was a type of Christ.

     | 101,221 views

    If our light is to shine for Jesus then we need to stay connected to Him as our source of power and turn on the switch to allow the Holy Spirit to shine through us. We are only reflections of His glory if we keep the clouds of sin away.

    ARE YOU CONNECTED? By Pastor Jim May As I walked into the church this morning before the sun arose, I entered into a very dark building. Just as any of you would have done, the first thing I looked for was a light switch. Flipping that switch made all the difference in being able to walk ...read more

     | 8,670 views

    We sense that we’ve got an image problem. Like Adam and Eve before us, we try to fix it with clothing. But it can only be truly fixed with the garments of Salvation which our Lord provides through his Son Jesus

    “I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness.” Does this look all right? Do these go together or do they clash? Does this make me look fat? These are the kinds of questions we impose upon ...read more
