    I Can Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jan 21, 2016
     | 11,111 views

    Looking at ways that we can change the I cant's into I cans in order to become better examples to others and to grow in our walk with Christ

    We seem to be living in a world full of Icantitus. Everywhere we look we see people that are so caught up in this disease of Icantitus that it’s just pitiful. You know what I’m talking about. I can’t because I don’t have enough money, I can’t because I’ve just ...read more

    The Wood Is Never To Wet

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 5, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,593 views

    This sermon should move people to revival and affirms the fact that no matter how dead we think we are or how wet our wood may be. God can still light a fire within us

    This was written as a sermon for a revival but was also modified for Sunday Morning. What is Revival? Well the dictionary defines it as: 1. An awakening, in a church or community, of interest in and care for matters relating to personal religion. 2. an evangelistic service or a series of ...read more

    Can't Have One Without The Other

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 5, 2015
     | 5,950 views

    Hopefully this sermon will explain that faith moves us to do good works. It also shows that it is our actions that count not just things we say and we should evaluate our spiritual lives regularly

    When I worked for the City around this time of year we started working on our budgets. We would evaluate all of our training programs and try and increase spending in the programs that worked and phase out those that didn’t or weren’t absolutely necessary. Businesses do it all the ...read more

    Don't You Get It

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 5, 2015
     | 3,016 views

    Hopefully this sermon would get people to look at themselves and realize that we should reserve judgment about others and the congregation would begin to realize that their relationship with Christ is what really matters.

    Don’t you get it? Romans 2: 17 – 23 I. Are we judging people by a higher standard that we ourselves don’t live up to, do we tend to take on an attitude of privilege or perhaps a holier than thou attitude? 1. We may think this text is just for the Jews • In Galatians Paul ...read more

    Controlling The Tiny Terror

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 12, 2015
     | 3,807 views

    This sermon makes us aware that our words do harm others and offers insight on how to change our thinking so the things we say will bring up-building to others

    Just so you know the title of this sermon isn’t about how to discipline my 2 year old grandson Kaden. Even though it’s pretty hard to get a handle on a 2 year old strong willed little boy , it’s even harder to get a handle on something each of us possess that is much, much ...read more

     | 6,828 views

    Introduction to "Discovering Jesus," a series exploring the life of Christ from the book of Mark.

    Introduction I hadn’t really thought about it until just recently, but for all of my adult life I have been on a quest. The goal of my quest is to ascertain, apprehend and acquiesce to the person known, in English, as the Lord Jesus. I have wanted to go beyond my immediate, personal and ...read more

    Step Into The Son

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Oct 31, 2015
     | 4,175 views

    Like Lazarus we sometimes become dead spiritually and must rely on Christ to free us from the death and bondage of the world

    This is a familiar story that we all know, Jesus raising His friend Lazerus from the dead. Some of us have learned our first Bible verse from this text; Jesus Wept. As Jesus reaches Bethany his friend Lazarus has been in the tomb four days now. People are still mourning and as Jesus is arriving ...read more

     | 5,212 views

    Even though we follow Jesus we still have storms in our life. But the great thing is Jesus is in the boat with us

    As we look at the text today we find Jesus Preaching on the waterfront using a boat as his pulpit due to the massive amount of people who have come to hear him and maybe get a healing touch from Him. After he is done it says they headed to the other side with Jesus just as he was and other boats ...read more

    Stairway To Heaven

    Jacob saw a stairway (ladder) to heaven. What was that dream all about? What, or who is the ladder leading to heaven? This sermon is based on a lesson by Patrick Mead of Rochester Hills, MI.

    NOTE: This lesson is based upon a sermon I heard Patrick Mead preach. Patrick preaches in Rochester Hills, MI. Stairway To Heaven (Gen. 28:12-22) Introduction: A.

    The Wrong Horse

    Contributed by Jeffrey Powell on Mar 29, 2010
     | 4,480 views

    Preached Palm Sunday 2010. Many religious people of Jesus' day thought they were winning by killing Jesus. They, like many today inside and outside the church let their isn and pride stand in the way of a true relationship with Christ and lost the race. T

    Luke 19vv25-48 The Wrong Horse Two Kentucky farmers who owned racing stables had developed a keen rivalry. One spring, each of them entered a horse in a local steeplechase. Thinking that a professional rider might help him outdo his friend, one of the farmers engaged a crack jockey. The two horses ...read more

    Bumpin Into Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,272 views

    This sermon is about making an effort to encounter Jesus in an intentional way instead of just bumping into him on occasion. It should cause us to look at our relationship with Christ and evaluate whether we are in a relationship with Jesus or if he is just a casual acquaintance.

    In our scripture today we find Jesus surrounded by a large crowd on His way to the home of a synagogue official named Jarius’ whose daughter is dying. Now in the whole of the scripture today we learn of two separate miracles but I want to focus on just one today. I want to focus not on the ...read more

    When Pigs Fly Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,934 views

    We take a look at Jesus and His encounter with the demonic called Legion. Through this encounter maybe we can find out what Jesus wants with us and how sometimes finding freedom can make us uncomfortable. We also can find that we need a relationship with Jesus in order to change

    In today’s Scripture we find Jesus in the country of Gerasenes, where He encounters a man possessed by many demons. I think this guy would have probably been a frightening site, he ran around the tombs naked and cut himself with stones, we are told that when they tried to chain or shackle him he ...read more

    Let Down & Lifted Up Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 6,189 views

    This sermon shows us that our faith matters as much or more than the faith of those that need Jesus. We also learn that sometimes we have to be let down before we can be lifted up.

    Everywhere Jesus went there was always a crowd and in the scripture today we find Jesus teaching in a house and it is packed. We read that a paralyzed man is of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. These guys went out of their way to help a friend because they knew that an audience with Jesus was ...read more

    Who Do You Trust ?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 1, 2018
     | 7,639 views

    This sermon begs us to look at ourselves and decide who we really trust. Are we putting our trust in ourselves or other people or do we put our trust and Hope in God

    We all have to put our trust in someone or something. It might be God, or it might be another person, or it may be material things. We all give some sort of trust to others we trust that the car we are meeting will stay on there side of the road. But that’s not the kind of trust that we are ...read more

    Born Again

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 1, 2018
     | 5,777 views

    If we are to be true Christians we must change from our old self into something new. This transformation takes place when we are born again by water and spirit. Its not enough just to say we are Christians we must be born again.

    If we are to be Christians we are called to change from our old self into something new I want to read a few scriptures about that change before we get into our sermon text for today. Ephesians 4:22-24 (NASB) in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being ...read more
