    We live in times of great stress. Everything around us is changing, and we feel lost. But Christ calls us to persevere and press on.

    Christianity: A call to Persevere We live in times of great stress. We read the news papers and shake our heads in disbelief. We watch the news and it depresses us. We look into our WhatsApp messages and most of them bring bad news. We hear about the economy doing badly. We hear about the GDP ...read more

    Jesus' Last Visit To The Temple

    Contributed by James May on Apr 5, 2023
     | 2,852 views

    There is no doubt that Jesus' last temple visit was less than positive. It had become a den of thieves. However after he cleansed that temple it once again became a House of Prayer.

    After the Triumphal Entry of Jesus through the Eastern Gate, the scripture records that he then left the city of Jerusalem and went to stay the night at the home of his friends, Mary, Martha and Lazarus. Then the next morning he set out once again to go to Jerusalem, about 2 miles away. It was ...read more

    The Disastrous Effects Of Impatience Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on May 21, 2023
     | 2,291 views

    Even when the times are tough, and we feel like God should act … we must wait on Him! Abram and Sarai refused to hear this, and acted impulsively to usher in the birth of a child.

    Introduction - 2023 has had one primary “purpose”: To know there is a God! -- Continuing our series, “Alpha and Omega”; examining the beginning to the end - Last week we examined the promise God gave Abram which is also for us! -- Even in the face of despair and frustration (which many ...read more

     | 2,152 views

    Acts Chapter 2 gives us a glimpse of what the Holy Spirit can do.

    “The Spirit of Sharing” Acts 2:42-47 A headline caught my eye last week. It read, “31 Billionaires are Worth More than the US Treasury has in Cash.” At the close of business on May 25th, the Treasury of the United States had just $38.8 billion dollars. For context, 31 of our billionaires ...read more

    Immaturity (Sixth Sunday After Epiphany, February 12, 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Feb 10, 2023
     | 1,719 views

    In the very first verse Paul has stepped on toes! There are two words that illustrate well how Paul stepped on their toes. These two words, “carnal” and “babies” lose some of their emphasis as they are transliterated from Greek to English.

    IMMATURITY Text: 1 Corinthians 3: 1 – 9 1 Corinthians 3:1-9 And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. (2) I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are ...read more

    Pay Tithes, Get Floodgates Open

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 1, 2023
     | 2,240 views

    The terminology for how God will reward tithers is extreme.God says He will “open the floodgates of Heaven.” This phrase was first used to describe the amount of water that fell during Noah’s flood (Gen. 7:11).

    PAY TITHES, GET FLOODGATES OPEN Malachi 3:10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: Texas Cowboy Humor 1. Where do cowboys cook their meals? On the range. 2. What advice do cows give?

    The Gifts We Bring Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 10, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,693 views

    The gifts we give on Christmas are often given in gaily wrapped paper. The paper conceals what is hidden inside the present. Similarly, the gifts of the wisemen were like wrapping paper concealing special gifts of great value. Do you know what they were?

    Humorist Dave Barry wrote about the gifts that were brought by the Wise Men. He suggested that if you examined that story carefully, you’d find that there is an overlooked theological fact in the story. There is no mention of wrapping paper. Why? First, these guys were wise. And second… they were ...read more

     | 1,423 views

    When faced with brokenness stemming from sin or navigating trials and tribulations, how does God respond? Could it be that, in our brokenness, through confession and perseverance, our faith not only deepens but also radiates a bright light to those in our midst?

    Being Broken Genesis 1, 16-21 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 Is it a challenge for you to let go of your possessions, even when they've aged, broken, and lost their value? When we explore our garages, basements, and hidden corners filled with our ...read more

    Are you wasting God's resources and gifts propping up a dying church?

    1 Cor 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.  2  Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.  1 Peter 4:10  As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to ...read more

     | 5,129 views

    God’s Word, God’s ways are passé today, it’s all about how smart, astute, skilled, hard-working, computer- savvy, experienced and technically trained you are, very few rely on God and church for success in their life.

    Stronger and stronger 2 Samuel 3:1”There was a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David.

    Overcoming Counterfeit Christianity

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Jun 18, 2019
     | 4,848 views

    THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE WANT GOD TO DO WHAT WE BLIEVE TO BE RIGHT, WITHOUT PRAYING THY WILL BE DONE. WE ESSENTIALLY WANT TO BE IN CONTROL, AND NOT GOD. WE BELIEVE WE KNOW, EVEN BETTER THAN GOD WHAT IS BEST FOR US. HOW WRONG WE ARE!

    This Guy "gets It": The Story Of Barnabas Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 3,265 views

    If you look at the five leaders in Acts 13, they represent 3 continents and 4 different racial groups. The reason they were called Christians in Antioch is because gospel has the ability to break down walls like nothing else

    Memorial Day Video ahead of me. Today we wrap our 6-week series in the middle of Acts by looking at Barnabas. Barnabas is in fact his nickname. Now, sometimes we can be cruel with our nicknames. We can call a big man “tiny” or a slow-footed person “lightening.” When we think about some of our ...read more
