    The Roman centurion had a front row seat in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus and all that he saw and heard led him to concluded that "Truly this man was the son of God." In this sermon, we consider what led him to that conclusion and how it can lead us to the same conclusion.

    A. Once there was a Sunday school teacher who had given her class an assignment to read Isaiah chapter 9. 1. The next Sunday, she asked the class how many had remembered to read the chapter and every hand went up. 2. “Wonderful!,” she said, “And I’ve got a piece of candy for everyone who can ...read more

    Message In 1peter – Number 3 – Deviation From Sanctification – 1peter 3:15-16 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 9, 2023
     | 1,712 views

    Even the smallest deviation will cause us to miss the mark. We are to sanctify Christ as Lord in our hearts because God is holy. We must be holy as well. Do we know the bible well enough so that we can give an answer to all who ask about the hope that we have? Ours is a glorious hope.

    MESSAGE IN 1PETER – NUMBER 3 – DEVIATION FROM SANCTIFICATION – 1Peter 3:15-16 [A]. INTRODUCTION TO DEVIATION Deviation in one’s life is more highlighted, the more one is considered to be in an important position. So many love to pull others down. In Australia we have what is known as “the ...read more

    Heaven Set In Motion Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on May 22, 2023
     | 1,279 views

    In the story of Esther and Mordecai, the events seem to perfectly fit together at just the right times for things to happen. Coincidence? Not likely. Though God is not mentioned by name in Esther, God was working in their lives and continues to work in ours today.

    Introduction Video Ill.: The Story of Esther - Second Look Films (segment 3) We are continuing our study today based loosely on Max Lucado’s book, You Were Made for This Moment. When we started, we saw that Esther and Mordecai just wanted to blend in — to be cosy in the Persian culture. Don’t ...read more

    This message helps to solidify the truths of God's Holy Word and encourages the believer that God never leaves us alone as we are sometimes shunned by the world.

    Man has always had a thirst for knowledge. For centuries man has searched for wisdom as we have strived to increase our knowledge. In Athens, hundreds of years ago, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle spent their time discussing the latest and greatest ideas. Then the Roman Empire gifted the city of ...read more

     | 3,325 views

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    To conclude this study of the Beatitudes, the text in Matthew 5:3-10 is used as a TEMPLATE for prayer. Praying Scripture is a powerful way to apply truths to our own lives and reinforce our understanding of the passage.

    PRAYING SCRIPTURE To complete our study of the Beatitudes, we will now use this portion of Scripture as a template for prayer. Learning to pray Scripture will strengthen your prayer life significantly. Some of you may have already learned to use the Lord’s Prayer in this way. That is the most ...read more

     | 2,166 views

    We are a forgetful people. In America, holidays like Memorial Day help us remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Mordecai instructed that God’s people celebrate an annual festival to remember how God had saved them. God also gave us ways to remember today.

    Paul was handpicked by God to be His messenger of the Gospel to the Jewish and Gentile world. Along the way, Paul preached and built relationships with many people. As we look at some of the events on his first missionary journey, we can learn from the people he met and the lessons he taught.
