    As we think about church, it’s important to know what a church is. A church is a group of born-again people meeting together in one place with God as its center.

    The Relationship Of Believers To The World Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 27, 2024
     | 708 views

    It’s a basic need that we need to belong. To be loved as one of the group. To be loved by the world as its own. It hurts to be made fun of or rejected - at any age. Even if you are retired.

    READ SCRIPTURE As a child and a teenager, I wanted to be accepted. To belong to the circle of friends that lived on my street. I wanted them to like me and to let me be part of the things they did. To be asked to play with them. To be part of the baseball games. To be invited to the birthday ...read more

    The 6th Word from the Cross. Jesus has accomplised what only he could. In him we have an ending and a beginning. This was preached at a service of believer’s baptism for 3 young people.

    Today, as we approach Easter, we come to the 6th Word from the Cross. The 6th thing Jesus said as he hung there, in the last few moments before he died... ‘It is finished’. What did Jesus mean by that? What is finished? Does he mean, It’s over and done with? Well that’s definitely what the Romans ...read more

    It isn’t enough simply to believe. Our faith must be lived to be an effective witness.

    LIVE IT! TEXT: Colossians 3:1-17 Back in 2001, I had a conversation with a man named Tim, the bookkeeper at the place where I had rented a cabin, who told me about his past with the church. He grew up Irish Catholic, and as a child was very involved in the church. He was an altar boy, and he told ...read more

    Believers are encouraged to not lose heart and give up, even in the face of trials and difficulties. To continue in the faith we should continue doing good toward others, continue in prayer, and continue in the word.

    I take as our subject today, the call in Scripture to persevere—to steadfastly continue in the faith no matter what happens.. Some of you have walked with the Lord for many years. You have fought some battles. You have not done it perfectly, but you have continued to follow the Lord. You have ...read more

    This sermon challenges our claim to believe. The thought process was started by a wonderful sermon submitted by David Moore entitled The Hard Gospel.

    Sermon for Mark 10:17-31 October 15th 2006 I’m one of people that can’t seem to shut their brain off in the evening. The other night my mind was churning because someone had mentioned to someone that pastor lately had been preaching a “hard” gospel. My puny little mind wandered to a time when I ...read more

    We've probably all been through hard times at least once. It's difficult even to think of joy in those trying moments, yet James wrote that believers should consider trials joyous.

    Hard times. We've probably all been through hard times at least once. It may be a financial loss that caused the hard times. It may be a job loss that caused the financial loss.
