     | 3,964 views

    This sermon is for the occassion of an Historic Anniversary (150th) of the church, and remembers the pioneers who have gone before us; but also encourages the pioneers of this present day.

    One can almost imagine the first churches encounter with the beggar at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple. There were no Ministerial Alliance S.O.P.’s… No gas vouchers… no Confirmation Classes, nor was there an Evangelism Committee to carry out the year long planning… instead Peter and John found ...read more

    This sermon deals with the importance of recognizing and accepting the fact that salvation is by grace through faith and nothing else.

    SALVATION'S BOTTOM LINE GALATIANS 2:11-21 INTRODUCTION Humanity suffers a universal plague. It is guilt. Every person experiences this emotion and tries to find some way to alleviate it.

    It is genuine Christianity which turned the world upside down and it is genuine Christ-like love which transforms lives.

    Contagious Christianity, Acts 2:42-47 Introduction A number of years ago a Johns Hopkins University professor asked his graduate students to locate 200 boys, ages 12-16, and then to research their family backgrounds.

    compromise is good in everything except devotion to Christ

    1ST CORINTHIANS 10:14-33 Sometimes compromise is good…. It is good in a marriage. It is good many times in business. It is good in national diplomacy. When it comes to our spiritual relationship with God, compromise is not good. Too often we compromise our faith by giving into the world’s ...read more

    In order to see how good the Good News is, we need to understand how bad we really are.

    I’ve got good news and bad news Text: Ephesians 2:1 – 5 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) I doubt that there is anyone sitting here today that likes to get bad news.

    Walk In Faith - Reverence Series

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Oct 10, 2013
     | 5,661 views

    It's my prayer you will love and respect God today. That you will be filled with His Holy Spirit to live a life of praise. That you will have a song in your heart today for the eternity that God has provided you through Jesus Christ. This is reverence.

    Personally, I don't like the word 'reverance'. You know why? Because when I was a kid to go to an environment where I had to be "reverent" meant I was going to be bored out of my mind. The word was destroyed by my experiences in worship. I hated to be reverent. Because being reverent meant ...read more

     | 6,127 views

    WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO LIVE FOR 1000 YEARS IN PERFECT PEACE WITH THE LORD? THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT THE MILLENNIUM IS THAT IT IS A FORE-SHADOWING OF WHAT ETERNITY WILL BE LIKE.

    Conspiracy With A Coin Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 6, 2018
     | 8,015 views

    As Jesus continued within the Temple, He was confronted about the lawfulness of paying taxes. Those who opposed Him sought to find further accusation. In Jesus' response, we find wisdom for our lives - taxes, tithes, and submission.

    Conspiracy with a Coin Mark 12: 13-17 As we continue through Mark’s gospel, I want to offer a reminder of the volatile environment in which Jesus walked at this time. He is in the last few days prior to the crucifixion. Having entered Jerusalem triumphantly, He had returned twice since, entering ...read more

    Many times those who serve in obscurity are overlooked, but provide a tremendous impact to the body of Christ. We must encourage those who serve in the shadows to continue for the Lord.

    Series: Serving in the Shadows # 1 Being a Barnabas Acts 11: 19-26 Our text today speaks of a man, who although not obscure in the Scriptures, is often found serving in the shadows.

    The Command In Discipleship Series

     | 9,375 views

    I fear many fail to consider the seriousness of Jesus' command to make disciples. As followers of Christ, we are all commanded to make other disciples. Thankfully, our Lord provided insight to His great command.

    The Command in Discipleship Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8 After several weeks of discussion and consideration, I hope to conclude our series on discipleship. Hopefully we have been enlightened regarding discipleship, having a greater knowledge of what is expected, and how to be better equipped as ...read more
