Upward, Inward, & Outward Vision

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 4, 2023

Isaiah saw three visions: an upward one, of God; an inward one, of himself; and an outward vision, of the needs of the lost people around him. If we hope to change the world then we need the same three visions.

UPWARD, INWARD, & OUTWARD VISION Isa. 6:1-8 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. In one of Charles Shultz’s famous “Peanuts” cartoons, Lucy is philosophizing and Charlie is listening. “Charlie Brown,” she begins, “life is a lot like a deck chair on a cruise ship.

Made Alive.

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Apr 13, 2024

The famous Baptist pastor D.L. Moody used to say, “Some day, you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody of East Northfield is dead. Don’t believe a word of it! At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now!”

Made Alive. Ephesians 2:1-22NIV The book of Ephesians was written some 70AD. The apostle Paul wrote this book from prison. What would make a man go to such extremes? -Paul had been made alive! He had a Damascus Road experience. -When you are made alive, ...read more

Who You Gonna Call?

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 26, 2025

Today is God’s appointed moment to surrender to Christ, because sin’s essence is self and no second chance awaits after death.

A Familiar Question with Eternal Weight We all know the line from pop culture: Who you gonna call? It was written for a movie that made people laugh, but the question itself is deadly serious. When a crisis hits, when the next breath is uncertain, when eternity draws close—who you call on ...read more

Do You Get It?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2023

There is nothing that Jesus cannot do. But we can only get the message if we don’t let ourselves be distracted by trivia, and if our relationship with God is healthy.

One of the reasons people loved to listen to Jesus was that he talked about things they knew about, scenes and events from their everyday lives. But the lives of the people Jesus talked to can seem very far away from our own, sometimes. His illustrations don’t always mean that much to us. What’s ...read more

What Is The Source Of Temptation?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023

The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

The Sin Of Idolatry

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Aug 18, 2023

Many Christians today believe the Second Commandment is outdated and maybe even irrelevant for believers today. But if we take a closer look at the principle behind the commandment, we will find most of us engage in this sin more often than we think.

The Sin of Idolatry Last week, elder Jermaine preached the first sermon in our new series dedicated to the Ten Commandments. His sermon dealt with the First Commandment in which God makes it clear that we are to have no other gods before OR even besides Him; and today, we’re going to take a ...read more

Man Has Twisted, Contorted, Inverted, And Opposed All God’s Creation – Part 2 - Genesis Chapter 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2023

We continue the study in Genesis chapter 1 to see how sinful and deluded man has overturned all that God set in place, inverting and destroying it. We especially look at evolution and God is Light. Man’s inversion of God’s order causes chaos and growing evil.

MAN HAS TWISTED, CONTORTED, INVERTED, AND OPPOSED ALL GOD’S CREATION – PART 2 GENESIS CHAPTER 1 In Part 1 we looked at how man has taken what belongs to God and cancelled God out of the whole matter. The self-deceived in the world dismiss God and His creation and wallow in their own intelligence ...read more
