How Pride Destroys A Church Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Mar 2, 2023

This is the seventh message in a series we're doing on 1st Corinthians. Today we're talking about how a little leaven will leaven the whole lump, and how Church discipline not only keeps the integrity of a congregation, but how it is actually a loving act to the sinning member.

Text: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 OPEN WITH PRAYER AND THANKSGIVING Now we've been in 1 Corinthians for a while, and we've seen Paul address a few of the issues that were going on in that Church. And I don't know about all you, but I'm thankful that God chose to add this book to the ...read more

Walk In Unity, Grow In Maturity Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 28, 2024

Paul urges the believers to live the truth (expressed in Eph 1-3) by walking in unity, watching their attitudes, and growing in maturity as a Body of Christ.

Eph 4:1-16 WALK IN UNITY, GROW IN MATURITY We are at a turning point in this book, moving from doctrines to the practice of the truth. • Chapters 1-3 on the DOCTRINES – who we are as the church of Christ and 4-6 talks about our CONDUCT – how we ought to live as the church. • 1-3 talks about ...read more

The Identity Of Faith Series

Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 19, 2020

There is an identity crisis in our country. I believe that our racial problems are a result of an unbiblical view of our identity. This passage has long been used to rebuke a racist and bigoted view of the gospel.

INTRO: Galatians 3 has been a history lesson through the Old Testament. One of the more complicated chapters of Paul’s writings, it’s been a difficult hike, but like many hard journeys, there is a rewarding view at the end. We have climbed the mountain peaks of Abraham and Moses and have seen ...read more

Come To The Table

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

The table is more than just a place to have a meal. Other things happen at the kitchen or dining room table. Conversations take place at the table; people play games and do projects at the table. Special things happen at the table.

COME TO THE TABLE We just had Thanksgiving where we got together with family and friends and gathered around the table. We like to hear that call, "dinner's ready, everyone come to the table". But that's not just a call to come and eat. The table is more than just a place to have ...read more

Defective Disciples Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021

Practically every one of the Apostles, including Paul, is pictured as being wrong in an argument at some point. The 3 best known are specifically mentioned as being out of God's will in their attitudes toward others.

It is not without good reason that many people say they never argue about politics or religion. The ignorance and intolerance of men in relation to these subjects is such that they almost always lead to contention and anger rather than helpfulness and understanding. The average person, who does ...read more

Holy Compromise, Holy Joy

Contributed by Russell Metcalfe on Jan 28, 2021

The word "compromise" is a red flag among people of principle. But in the real world of human relationships, compromise is perhaps the most overlooked source of genuine joy.

Mark 2:1-5 (3) "And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men." The word "compromise" is a red flag among people of principle. But in the real world of human relationships, compromise is perhaps the most overlooked source of genuine joy. The fact is (1) ...read more

Freedom

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 20, 2022

Real freedom in Christ occurs when we live in God's Spirit and are useful in influencing other's lives for God. Jesus Himself showed us what freedom is. Today the word freedom has been misunderstood to mean license to sin.

FREEDOM Gal. 5:1-13 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Sometimes we take our freedoms too far. Like evry other president, William Howard Taft had to endure his share of abuse. One night at the dinner table, his youngest son made a disrespectful remark to him. There was a sudden hush. 2. “Well,” said ...read more

Extraordinary—ordinary People.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Sep 26, 2021

Can you picture the prophet Elijah driving on Red Bud Road or Hwy. 53? Can you see him in line at McDonald's, ordering a Big Mac and french fries? Rather hard to imagine, isn't it?

Extraordinary—Ordinary People. James 5:17-18TPT. Can you picture the prophet Elijah driving on Red Bud Road or Hwy. 53? Can you see him in line at McDonald's, ordering a Big Mac and french fries? Rather hard to imagine, isn't it? Yet, James says that "Elijah was a man just like ...read more

Igniting Your Passion For God

Contributed by Steven Devroy on Mar 13, 2024

We are able to reignite our passion for God by spending time in prayer and fasting.

This morning we are completing our week of prayer and fasting. For me this week has been tremendous. While it is been a time of challenge, no doubt, and it has also been a time of refreshing. Not only for me, but for many of you that have participated with me this past week. It is such a blessing ...read more

The Hope That Transforms

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 8, 2023

The reality is advent is only distantly related to Christmas. It was celebrated long before Christmas in the church.

TITLE: THE HOPE THAT TRANSFORMS SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 8:24-25 All eyes in Christendom have turned upon celebrating Christmas. In fact, this is what many Christians make of Advent, if they have even heard of it or think of it at all. The reality is advent is only distantly related to Christmas. It was ...read more

Listen 2: "know Your Bait" Series

Contributed by Lynn Sims on Apr 28, 2025

Jesus called us to be fishers of men — but some of us are out here trying to reach people with stale bait, old tactics, or worse — no bait at all! We’ve got the greatest message in the world — the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ

🎣 Week 2: Know Your Bait ________________________________________ 🧭 Introduction (pass out the outline) “If you’ve ever gone fishing, you know there are two kinds of folks: those who catch fish... and those who just catch a nap!” Now, I’m not saying I’ve fallen asleep on a boat — ...read more

Open House

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Aug 17, 2023

When God calls people to us, it is our job to gather them in his name and share the joy he provides for all in his house of prayer.

Almost 40 years ago, July or August of 1984, I was at my very first Bible camp. It was the annual women’s retreat for the Northwest Women’s Caucus of the Evangelical Free Church of America, and I was scared to death. Well, maybe that was putting it a little strongly, but I was pretty nervous. You ...read more

Eternity Is Too Long To Be Wrong

Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 23, 2023

The Galatians began trying to save themselves by their own efforts, instead of by God’s way – Jesus Christ. This is relevant, because we too may be trying to save ourselves by “Do-it-Yourself Religion.”

ETERNITY IS TOO LONG TO BE WRONG Galatians 2:16–3:5 INTRODUCTION A. 4 RIDDLES 1. Do you know what they call a Hotdog in the Winter? A Chilly Dog 2. What do you call a snow man’s dog? A Slush Puppy 3. What do you call a 100 year-old ant? An antique. 4. Why did the chicken cross the ...read more
