God's Mercy Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 6, 2016

Homosexuality -- What If?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 16, 2016

Most practicing homosexuals say they were born that way. But we know from scripture that is not true. Why, then, would a person believe he or she is born a homosexual. This message looks at one possibility.

For many years I have taught that a person is not born into this world a homosexual or transsexual. The Bible says God created the human race male and female. For me that ended the discussion. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness … So God created man in his image, in the ...read more

A Hill To Die On Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Mar 20, 2016

Why wasn't Moses allowed into the Promised Land? The short answer is: he sinned, but somehow that doesn't seem quite fair. He was one of the greatest and meekest men in Scripture. Is there something more about God's decision that we need to know?

I love to read and a few weeks ago I ran across a word quiz from a non-Christian publication that – at first – angered me. I thought they were making fun of Christianity. But once I read the answer to the quiz I realized not only were they NOT doing that, but in fact someone had ...read more

The Power Of Christ Crucified

Contributed by Joel Mcreynolds on Mar 24, 2016

Paul did not rely on his own power but on the power of the gospel through the Holy Spirit. We can boldly proclaim the gospel when we rely on God’s power instead of our own.

Making A Messiah,easter Sunday Series

Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 27, 2016

This is our conclusion to Making a Messiah, as we look at those who proclaimed Jesus Innocent of the charges brought against him.

Jesus was guilty! That’s right on that Good Friday so many years ago Christ was declared guilty. He had fought the good fight but he had lost.
