    Do You Believe?

     | 17,256 views

    This sermon is inspired by the movie beginning on March 20, 2015 by the same title. It uses Thomas and the story of his "doubting" in his faith-believing following Jesus' resurrection. It leaves us with the question, "Do you believe?"

    In 2012, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life conducted a survey including White, Black and Hispanic Catholic, Protestant and Non-Denominational Christians. In this survey was the following statement, “I never doubt the existence of God.” Survey results are as follows: 80% ...read more

    How would the available evidence for the Resurrection hold up in a court of law? A simple look at the evidence for the resurrection.

    A Case for the Risen Christ Intro: How important is the resurrection? One Theologian said “…the evidence for Jesus’ resurrection is so strong that nobody would question it except for two things: First, it is a very unusual event. And second, if you believe it happened, you have to ...read more

    Overcoming Greed Series

    Every Biblical character is a unique personality and has been written for us to learn something. We will be warned of Gehazi's downward pull due to the sin of GREED. We will learn lessons from the life of Elisha on how he maintained his INTEGRITY.

    The dictionary defines GREED as the desire to possess wealth, goods or objects with the intention to keep it for one's self, far beyond the dictates of basic survival and comfort. That means, a person who is greedy will covet something even if he does not really need it. He will hide it for some ...read more

    My Friend Jesus

    I've tried to describe the believers relationship with Jesus in testimony style. "Let me tell you about my fiend Jesus...Let me tell you what He has done for me..."

    I started with Chris Jordan's sermon: i-Pray #3: What a Friend we Have in Jesus. Scripture is the same, maybe a phrase here and there, more so at the beginning. But this is a different sermon.

    This sermon is a compilation of scripture in the form of a 'letter' from God to his children describing His love for us.

    Last Sunday, I told a story and showed a video to conclude my sermon. For those of you who may not have been here, it was a story about a father and his handicapped son. When most of the medical system had written this child off as “a vegetable”, this dad refused to give up. He found ...read more

    God wants us to be productive by getting to know Him. He wants us to be strong through His strength to persevere, and He wants us to be grateful for qualifying us for heaven, rescuing us from hell and redeeming us from sin.

    Sandy Y. of Bowmansville, Pennsylvania, talks about a time when her family was doing a devotional that included the story of the Ten Commandments. Her husband asked, “How many commandments did God give to Moses?” Seth, their 5-year-old son, quickly replied, “Too many!” (Sandy Y., Bowmansville, ...read more

    God's law is good because He is good; Sin is bad and deceives us into rebelling against God; The effects of sin are ugly, but God wants to forgive and restore us to Himself!

    The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Romans 7:7-13 7 What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet." 8 But sin, seizing the ...read more

     | 40,103 views

    Encouragement is awesome. It can actually change the course of another person's day, week, or life. You will find, if you think for a moment, that the people who influence you are the people who believe in you most, who encouraged you.

    Encouraging Encouragement Series: CONSIDERING ENCOURAGEMENT HEBREWS 10: 23-25 While the joy of the Lord truly sustains and strengthens us, there are times when we all need encouragement.

    Anger, the impulse to destroy, is the direct opposite of love, the force which gives life. This is why anger is equivalent to murder in the eyes of God, who looks on the heart.
