     | 4,406 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
     | 3,134 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

  • It's Our Fault

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 18, 2024
     | 1,315 views

    How many Churches… How many Christians have let the culture normalize sin and they have just adapted themselves to it. This sermon will help us deal with the consequences of condoning sin and what we should do to avoid it.

    God hates sin, shouldn’t we? Jesus died to offer us forgiveness for our sins, not so we would have a free pass to keep on sinning, He didn’t die on that cross so we could receive a “Get out of Hell Free” card… But here we are a couple of thousand years later watching sin become glorified, watching ...read more

  • Trustworthy Saying - Part 1

     | 759 views

    There are some truths that impact me and my walk. Paul talks about some of these truths with the phrase, "They saying is trustworthy." Let's look at them over the next few weeks.

    The Saying Is Trustworthy (1 Tim 4:7-10) Intro: A. It was a temptation, not the only and not the greatest. It was a temptation to see how he would do. I am going to tempt you because I don’t believe that in your current situation you will be able to live up to what is professed about you. ...read more

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 14, 2024
     | 563 views

    Spiritual leadership in the church is necessary. Without spiritual leaders you will have leadership, but as immature or nonspiritual, they will draw people after themselves. This sermon is about the desire to serve as a spiritual leader.

    Trustworthy Saying #3 (1 Tim. 3:1-7) Intro: A. Today we are going to study another of Paul’s “trustworthy sayings” taken from 1 Tim. 3:1. The Bible tells us read about the role of the minister or evangelist, and the character of spiritual leaders we often call “elders” or “shepherds.” We also ...read more

    Faith Under Fire (Daniel 1:3-7) Intro: A. The northern Kingdom of Israel fell to the power of Assyria around 722 BC after almost 20 years of a slow demise. The kingdom fell because of sin and God allowed them to be taken into captivity. The southern Kingdom should have taken a great warning ...read more

    Does God still speak through dreams? How do you know truth? There are some things that can only be done by God and we need to make sure we follow no one but God.

    No One But God (Daniel 2:9-11) Intro: A. I love when a writer of the Bible just stops what he is writing and beings to praise God. But it is even more impressive to me when someone who is not connected to Jehovah see the work of Jehovah and has to praise Him, even if that person still does not ...read more

    Do you have to Ask? Acts 19:1-3 Introduction, Scripture tells us that when we repent and are baptized that we will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit... If that's the case, why aren't we showing the fruits and gifts that come with it? Fortunately, we’re not the first ones to wrestle ...read more

  • Living A Questionable Life - Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Jan 22, 2024
     | 1,399 views

    When people look at me, do they see what they expect, or someone that is "odd?" When I am so close to Jesus that my life reflects his actions and attitudes it causes people to ask, "Why are you like this?"

    Living Questionable Lives – Pt 1 (Acts 16:29-34) Intro: A. I grew up with some great tools like the Jule Miller filmstrips, Open Bible Study, and teachings about Friendship Evangelism. All them had a great place in the ministry of reconciliation, but they didn’t all work for me. Maybe it was ...read more

    People have a preconceived idea of what a Christian is supposed to be or act like. They also have their understanding of what a local church is all about. How do we change the negative stereotype?

When a person hears the word “Christian” they immediately conjure up something in their head – good or bad, they have a preconceived thought of what it means for a person to claim to be a Christian.

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on May 4, 2025
     | 576 views

    There is a cost involved in everything we do. It even cost us something to follow Jesus and yes, there is a cost even for The Cross

    Introduction: Counting the Cost Some things in life are easy to say but harder to live out. I remember a young firefighter in training.
