    Bumpin Into Jesus Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 5,524 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
     | 6,173 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
     | 6,480 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
     | 7,864 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
     | 5,988 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

    Be Ready

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 11, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 19,778 views

    This sermon compels the listener to ask the question, "If Jesus returns today am I ready?" It talks about our fears and that we as Christians really have nothing to fear

    (Ask this question loudly before beginning sermon Intro)Are You Ready? I didn’t hear you, Are You Ready?? I don’t think you’re hearing me ARE YOU READY??? Be ready is a motto that I lived by when I was on the fire department. We all knew the best way to be prepared for whatever we encountered ...read more

    Don't Be A Show Off

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 14, 2018
     | 6,844 views

    This could be used as a stewardship sermon and hopefully would get people to realize that their is more to being a Christian than just filling a pew. Hopefully this sermon compels people to look beyond the superficial and truly look to their heart.

    (a note about the opening illustration; It is not my own but i don't know where I actually found it originally, it is tucked away with some notes I have.) There was a man who called a church and asked if he could speak to the Head Hog at the trough. The secretary said, "Who?" Then ...read more

    How Do You Plead?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jul 28, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,752 views

    Starting with the notion that we all have been found guilty of sin and stating what some of the charges are before us, the sermon then leads us to turn to Christ as our advocate in order for Jesus to plead our case so that we may find Pardon.

    Isaiah Was born into an Influential, Upper class family He rubbed shoulders with royalty and gave advice on foreign affairs of the nation. He has often been called the evangelical prophet because he says so much about the redemptive work of the Messiah. The 24th chapter of Isaiah is sometimes ...read more

    Christian Love

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 15, 2020
     | 4,559 views

    How is a church a family? How do we practically show love to one another? Jesus gave us an example and Paul challenges us to live it.

    Christian Love (Rom. 12:9-13) Intro: A. There is a verse that many Christians know, have heard or been preached from the pulpit so frequently, it the meaning has lost its wonder and awe. To put the verse in the context I take you to the night commonly called the Last Supper. But instead of ...read more

    Love Them?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 24, 2020
     | 3,569 views

    Loving God. I can do. Loving your neighbor. I will try, especially if they are fellow Christians. Loving your enemy. I don't if I can do that. How does a person love their enemy?

    Love Them? (Matt. 5:43-48) Intro: A. I want to start this lesson with a word found at the end of our reading. It’s the word “perfect.” “You therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That calling seems to be impossible, so how could Jesus call upon us to be at the level ...read more

    Forgiveness Is Difficult

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Mar 2, 2021
     | 3,121 views

    The calling for "forgive, just as Jesus has forgiven you," and the quote from Jesus in the Model Prayer, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," makes forgiveness a command, not a good thought or request.

    Forgiveness Is Difficult (Col. 3:12-14) Intro: A. He was betrayed by Judas and openly denied by Peter. At his trial no one stood beside him to defend him. He was accused based upon lies and misrepresentation of his words. Pilate knew he was innocent, but as a politician his position in ...read more

    The Wood Is Never To Wet

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 5, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,997 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
     | 6,125 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
     | 3,140 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
