    When Pigs Fly Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Nov 27, 2018
     | 6,191 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
     | 6,506 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
     | 7,876 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
     | 5,997 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
     | 19,808 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
     | 6,861 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

    The Importance Of Love

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Jan 31, 2020
     | 7,139 views

    Why is love greater than Faith or Hope? As Christians the faith is the reason we are who we are. Hope is the assurance of where we are going. So what makes Love greater than these?

    The Importance of Love (1 Cor. 13:1-3) Intro: A. For many people, the 23rd Psalm is written in such a way that it not only expresses the heart of David as he reflects upon God, but it express your heart also. It is why is so beloved. Those opening words speak of our union with ...read more

    Christian Love

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 15, 2020
     | 4,577 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
     | 3,582 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

    Easter People

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 13, 2020
     | 4,400 views

    We are more than just Easter proclaimers, we are Easter people. Yes, it's important to share Jesus on social media, but it is more important to be people who live out the Easter story every day of our lives.

    Easter People (Rom. 6:1-4) Intro: A. There was a truth that was known, yet not believed. Jesus had been very clear to many that he would rise up from the dead on the third day. This truth was known to the religious leaders who hated Jesus so they went to Pilate with a request. Listen to ...read more

    Forgiveness Is Difficult

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Mar 2, 2021
     | 3,130 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

    Rough Seas

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Jun 19, 2015
     | 5,495 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

    What's In Your Master Suite?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Payne on Dec 21, 2014
     | 2,810 views

    A re-imagining of the role of the innkeeper in the nativity story of Christ.

    Then she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and she wrapped Him snugly in cloth and laid Him in a feeding trough--because there was no room for them at the lodging place. Luke 2:7 Now, that’s our verse and it comprises, so far as I know, everything we know about the lodging arrangements, and ...read more

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 30, 2014
     | 7,555 views

    We are just slaves to Satan but when the time comes for us to accept Christ we become adopted children of God

    There was a small volunteer fire company just on the outskirts of a big city. Well the big City dept. had a huge warehouse fire and called the small volunteer fire company in for help. Now this warehouse was burning up. Flames could be seen from the space shuttle. The Big City Dept. was doing all ...read more
