    How Pride Destroys A Church Series

    Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Mar 2, 2023
     | 2,931 views

    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

    Jesus Before Herod Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 20, 2023
     | 2,107 views

    Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

    LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more

    Our infinite, all knowing God created the precise conditions that are necessary to sustain life on the earth.

    This month, we are beginning a new series in the book of Genesis called “Dust to Life.” I believe Genesis is one of the most important books to study because it contains God’s revelation to the world of how life began, what life was meant to be, what the world has become because of sin and the ...read more

    It is important to understand there is a huge difference between knowing that God loves you and experiencing God’s love in your life. This is where so many people fall short.

    Song of Solomon 1:1-17 If you would ask somebody to quote John 3:16, there would be few people who could not do it, particularly people who attend church. But, if you would ask them what it meant you might not get the right answer. They could tell you the Bible says that God loves the world, but ...read more

    The Guaranteed Return

    Some investments give good returns. Others completely fail. Is there any investment which gives a guaranteed return? Yes, there is.

    I expect some of us invest money, maybe in property or in shares in companies. Perhaps some of us ‘invest’ in other ways. We invest in our future by studying and passing exams. We invest time in people. When we invest, we hope for a return. What do you suppose is the best investment of all? ...read more

    Sermon # 8 - Love Like Jesus Loves Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 19, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,601 views

    So many relationships are broken or splintered because of un-forgiveness. God’s mandate for His children is that we should love and forgive others the way He loves and forgives us. This love and forgiveness was perfectly exemplified by Jesus throughout His life and even at the point of death.

    Jesus said in Luke 6:32, "If you love only the people who love you, why should you receive a blessing? Even sinners love those who love them! (GNT) As we continue to meditate on the questions that Jesus asked, we find these questions are relevant and life-giving even today. Most of us in ...read more

    Fear - How To Overcome It?

    Contributed by Pastor Renji George on Jun 9, 2024

     | 1,335 views

    How to live in an anxious world and yet have peace and joy in life? There are hundreds of reasons to be afraid. But only one reason not to be afraid that is our faith in God and our Lord Jesus Christ. There are two kinds of fear! One is Divine and the other is demonic!

    Fear is a painful emotion or passion caused by an expectation of evil or suspicion of impending danger. Fear manifests itself in many ways. Some of the more serious ways include panic attacks, which are defined as “sudden, brief episodes of intense fear”, and phobias, which are defined as ...read more

    Do you know God’s peace in the midst of situations that the world gets anxious about? If not, examine yourself: Is your faith in Him and your focus on His kingdom, rather than on selfish pursuits?
