You're Right! You Don't Have To Get Baptized! Series

Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013

It is interesting how we can allow what we have always been taught by others to affect how we look at what the Bible teaches. The subject of baptism is one such subject in which what many have always been taught leads them to suppress the truth.

I have had many discussions about the subject of baptism with people, and it never fails that sometime during the discussion, they just deny what the scriptures say about the topic. They at times just say, “I deny what you are saying about about baptism,” ignoring the fact that all I am ...read more

Contributed by Joseph Jabotte on Apr 16, 2023

Esther Esther Esther ( shake head) what an interesting book. Pride, excessive consumption of alcohol, lust, divorce, Sex, lies and murder and that’s just the first 2 chapters. How do you preach Jesus through a book that doesn’t mention God?

Good morning church Today is a great day to be with you in the house of the Lord. Today our study on finding Jesus throughout God’s word brings us to the book of Esther.

It’s Time For A Spiritual Audit – Philippians 3:7-10 Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Apr 2, 2022

What do we value? What do we strive for, day to day? And the interesting challenge here is that even when we value good things (e.g., loving our family, helping others), they don’t come close to who Jesus is.

A couple of weeks ago I was looking at my credit card balance, and it was much higher than I expected it to be. So I knew I needed to do a little audit there myself. I checked it out and realized that some of these charges aren't even mine. So I called the credit card company and we together ...read more

One Thing

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 10, 2014

It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you are identifying the most significant thing. We see this principle applied in scripture. Let’s look at some of these incidents and see what we can learn from them.

ONE THING If you could have only one thing in the world what would it be? If you could only go one place where would you go? What about if there was only one thing standing in the way of you accomplishing something. It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you ...read more

The Birth Of A New Believer Series

Contributed by Rick Crandall on May 19, 2017

The spiritual birth of a new believer is the greatest miracle that can ever happen in anyone’s life! -- So marvel at the miracle: 1. of God’s interest (vs. 26-28). 2. of God’s intricacy (vs. 27-33). 3. of our involvement (vs. 29-37).

The Need Of The Church Series

Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2020

If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history. The Laodicean church is a description of this church age. The church that is neither cold nor hot. A church that was rich and said it had need ...read more

Here Comes The Judge – Dealing With Rejection

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Aug 29, 2019

Nicodemus Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Dec 29, 2021

Nicodemus Is one of those interesting and important people we meet in the Bible. Jesus met with him and told him that he must be born again. However, He could not understand how someone could enter again into their mothers womb. He missed Jesus' point completely.

Note: form will not accept Scripture ref. (John 3:3) and topics (Nic. meets secretely with Jesus) (Nic. defends Jesus) Nicodemus— Who was Nicodemus in the Bible? All that we know about Nicodemus in the Bible is from the Gospel of John. In John 3:1 , he is described as a Pharisee. The ...read more

In Christ (Part One )

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022

Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God.

What Was The Real Reason For Palm Sunday? And The Donkey’s Special Part! A Palm Sunday Message Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 7, 2024

How does the donkey feature in the Palm Sunday account? Its story is interesting. We look at the prophetic Psalm 118; the entry Jesus made into Jerusalem; Isaac; and how that connects with His yet future Jerusalem entry at the Second Coming when He rides on the white horse not a donkey.

We have an interesting message here. God’s kindness and compassions NEVER fail because the Lord is my portion and that gives hope. The Lord is good to those who WAIT and SEEK Him. Waiting silently for the Lord is so commendable. We wait for His salvation for it certainly comes.

Understanding Our Brokenness: A Path To God's Love SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

Brokenness is a spiritual state that draws God's attention. This condition allows us to better understand ourselves and Him. However, we often resist this process as it's challenging to let go of our personal goals, ambitions, and interests. But it's through this surrender that we truly experience God's provision.

Brokenness is a spiritual state that captures God's attention. It provides us with a deeper understanding of ourselves and our relationship with Him. Although we may resist this process, surrendering our own desires and interests, it is through brokenness that we truly grow. Just as a broken ...read more

The Rise And Revelvancy Of Christian Apologetics

Contributed by Alex Mcfarland on Jun 28, 2006

“We already know that we’re not supposed to take drugs, have sex, or drop out of school. Sometimes adults think we’re just a bunch of goofballs, only interested in pizza and concerts. But kids in our youth group really do want to learn all about Chris

The September morning air felt cold as I walked from my car toward the flagpole.
