Change Your Mind! Series

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Oct 1, 2017

God calls us to radically change our mindset, to be like-minded, humble-minded, and Christ-minded. As we follow Jesus, we learn to value others above ourselves and to truly live the way we were meant to live, so a watching world will take note.

Philippians 2:1-11 Change your Mind! Sometimes people easily change their mind. I heard about a guy who e-mailed his ex.

God’s Grace Displayed Through Mankind’s Sin Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 27, 2023

Let Us Consider One Another Series

Contributed by Dr. Dave Hartson on Jan 8, 2021

In the picture, I have on my cowboy hat, cowboy shirt, my boots, short pants standing next to my spring action rocking horse.

Don't Stay In The Boat

Contributed by Russell Lackey on Aug 10, 2014

It has been said that "you will never walk on water if you do not get out of the boat." And yet, too often we fail to think about the next step. This sermon is meant to encourage those afraid to step out in faith as well as those who are sinking!

Many centuries ago, a man named Peter stood on the edge of a boat in the Sea of Galilee. Like all people who find themselves on an edge - whether physical or metaphorical - a decision had to be made. Peter’s choice was to either to step out onto the water or remain in the boat. Not an easy ...read more
