Have A Holly, Jolly Bankruptcy!

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 21, 2016

So Jesus' birthday is celebrated by going into debt for stuff when He came to set us free? He only got a manger and people who loved Him. Why do we need stuff we cannot afford?

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. "No holiday should manipulate you to the point where you are going into debt just to so show someone that you love them." - ...read more

Teach Us To Count Our Days Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Jun 5, 2020

We Are Family

Contributed by Steve Taylor on Nov 20, 2019

Brothers and sisters, we can experience the wonder of family or we can dismiss the moments of real love that comes with it. Let’s not let days like thanksgiving be the only time families gather around and share those special moments.

Brothers and sisters, last week we talked about being thankful for the things that we have, and for the life that we share. Well part of that life that we share is with family. AMEN Now, by family I don’t necessarily mean family by some blood DNA, but family as “God’s Family”. If you really ...read more

Staying On Track (Part 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 14, 2020

Message deals with current deception "Progressive Christianity" while expounding Philippians 3:19. Many young Evangelicals are being drawn into the Progressive Christianity error which denies Christ as only way of salvation and supports ungodly lifestyles.

We are at a crucial time in our nation, and the best response we can have to all that’s going on around us is to seek the Lord. As Christians we should vote responsibly. We should be light and salt. We should engage the culture with the truth of God’s word. But our most powerful weapon against evil ...read more

Philadelphia: The Church With The Open Door

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Feb 9, 2020

Like Smyrna, Jesus offered no rebuke, only encouragement for their faithfulness and endurance in the midst of opposition. Jesus knew they were a people of “little strength,” and yet ...read more

Won’t You "Friend" Me? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 18, 2012

Facebook friends really aren’t friends, they’re casual acquaintances on the internet. But real friendship is a powerful thing that Jesus not only gave us, but taught us to use for His kingdom. What does Friendship mean to Jesus and to us?
