    Full Or Empty (Palm Sunday)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 22, 2021
     | 2,784 views

    There is a difference between being full and being empty. There is also a difference between being empty and emptying one's self.

    FULL OR EMPTY Text: Philippians 2:5 - 11 The late Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was greeted by a burst of applause when he made his appearance as a speaker at a meeting in Minneapolis. He responded by saying: “Applause before a speaker begins is an act of faith. Applause during the speech is ...read more

    When Political Activists Take Over Your Church

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Mar 27, 2021
     | 2,471 views

    Have you ever noticed how ministries can become politicized over time? It's a real concern in our day and age, where political ideology has the country polarized, that same political activism can push its way into the church.

    Have you ever noticed how ministries can become politicized over time? It's a real concern in our day and age, where political ideology has the country polarized, that same political activism can push its way into the church.

    A Hand Up...not A Hand Out! (Acts 3:1-10)

    Contributed by David Darst on May 17, 2021
     | 6,260 views

    I have come to this conclusion: People do not need a “hand out” . What they really need is a “hand up” So many people would be content to be carried around in their affliction rather than walk on their own two feet. The Worst part is many Christian’s are content to keep carrying them.

    I. The Routine (1) Peter and John were still in the two by two mode -- they were going about their religious routine on their way to the temple to pray. “Ninth hour” approximately (3PM) in the afternoon. Some interesting observations: It wasn’t the time of the afternoon sacrifice; but rather the ...read more

    Standing For Christ In A Fallen World Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jan 23, 2022
     | 3,147 views

    There is a sense we are all like the Church at Pergamum living where Satan has his throne. We are all in this fallen world where Satan has his throne. You must Stand for Christ in this fallen world.

    Message to the Church in Pergamum, Revelation 2:12-17 Pergamum is the third church of the seven churches in Christ’s messages to the churches that John saw in his revelation while on the Island of Patmos. We find that Jesus Christ walks among the churches. He observes and evaluates the churches. ...read more

    If we're going to get in trouble, let it be "good trouble, necessary trouble."

    In 2014, ISIS began to retake territory around Mosul, Iraq. Militant began singling out Christians by marking the Arabic letter “n” [IMAGE] on homes and businesses. It stands for Nazrani or, Nazarene, the arabic word for “Christian.” A not-so-subtle to convert or be killed. History is filled with ...read more

    Back To Bethel, Part 2

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Sep 5, 2020
     | 2,322 views

    Jacob had returned to Bethel before he settled Canaan with his family. Many years later, his descendants were carried away captive and foreigners were brought in to settle some of the cities. One of these was Bethel. What happened to this second group of people at Bethel?

    Introduction: This is the second message in a two-part series on the theme, “Back to Bethel”. The first message was based on Jacob’s return to Bethel, in Genesis 35, and how he led his family to get right with God. This message displays the other side of that concept, namely, a much different “back ...read more

    What Are You Missing?

    Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Jun 20, 2018
     | 8,427 views

    Today I want to look at an encounter between Jesus and a “Rich Young Ruler”. Kind of like Jesus meets Mark Zuckerberg. The rich seem to have everything yet this very, very rich young man knew he was missing something. What are you missing?

    What one thing do you lack? Mark 10:17-34 The Rich Young Ruler We are now just four weeks away from Easter Sunday 2018. Easter happens to be on April 1st, April Fool’s Day. I kind of think that God the Father enjoys the irony in that one. Satan really was a fool to think he could kill Jesus ...read more

    The Abuse And Mockery Of Christ

    Contributed by David Mende on Apr 16, 2019

     | 5,442 views

    Though Jesus was mocked for claiming to be the King of the Jews, he is truly the King of kings and the Lord of lords and he is worthy to be worshipped as such. I would be delighted if you could rate this sermon and give brief feedback.

    Introduction The term ‘war crimes’ refer to the crimes that violate the laws of war. Examples of war crimes include the willful killing of civilians or prisoners, torture, taking hostages, rape, sexual slavery, using child soldiers, etc. In 1474, the Roman Empire held the first international war ...read more

    Signs Of A Dead Church And The Cure

    Churches are closing at a alarming rate in America.. Why are they dying? The Lord gives us a picture of a Dead church and gives us the solution

    I like Murder Mystery’s. And before you get mad and leave the church because you are thinking that I am promoting violence. I like them because I want to solve the mystery or who did it before the show reveals it. And the key is the Autopsy – It usually reveals the cause of death which gets you ...read more

    Shaping Your Legacy Series

     | 10,160 views

    Jacob's blessing of his sons provides an opportunity for hearers to think about their legacy. A legacy is built by choices. Our legacy does not control us. In Christ, we create a new legacy.

    SHAPING YOUR LEGACY—Genesis 49 Have you thought about what kind of legacy you will leave for your descendants? I’m not talking about wealth or property, but about the impact we have on the lives of others. We have all inherited a legacy. (Note to preacher: Personalize this!) I am a cheap ...read more

    This message is about the season of hope in Christ that is right in our midst that can be hidden in the difficult or buried in the familiar.

    It’s interesting the way we approach our birthdays, birthdays of our children, spouses, friends etc… Consider the first birthday of your child, or grandchild…HUGE!…All the trappings, gifts, invitations, photos…(and the baby has NO idea what’s going on!)

    The Proof Is In The "Putting" Series

    Contributed by Perry Greene on Jan 11, 2016
     | 5,200 views

    Jesus offers us a costly freedom from our enslavement to sin. It cost his life and ours. When we live obedient lives, we learn the truth of God and enjoy his freedom. The proof of our discipleship is seen by what we "put off" and "put on" in our lives.

    1. Braveheart In the movie Braveheart Mel Gibson plays the role of a man from Scotland whose name was William Wallace. Wallace was trying to win Scotland's freedom from the cruel rule of the King of England, Longshank. His hatred for both Scotland and Wallace grew as Wallace won many victories ...read more
