    Forgiveness Is Difficult

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Mar 2, 2021
     | 3,023 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

    Christian Love

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 15, 2020
     | 4,438 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
     | 3,502 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

    The Importance Of Love

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Jan 31, 2020
     | 7,015 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

    Easter People

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 13, 2020
     | 4,307 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

    Ressurection Victory

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 11, 2023
     | 1,791 views

    Because of the resurrection of Jesus we have victory over sin and the joy of living for eternity. The resurrection is central to the Christian faith, yet, on that day the believers didn't believe and the unbelievers faced truth.

    Resurrection Victory Intro: A. It really is amazing to me. There was a truth that was known, yet not believed. A truth that was told yet seemed to remain hidden. A truth that enemies feared more than followers believed. The same people that went to Pilate to seek him to put Jesus to death, ...read more

    Would You Know Him?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Apr 16, 2023
     | 2,186 views

    Would we know Jesus if He came up and sat down beside us?

    Would you know Him? Luke 24:13-32 The journey to Emmaus tells the story of two disciples walking seven miles from Jerusalem to their village of Emmaus, after the crucifixion of Jesus and on the evening of His resurrection. But it also reminds us of the journey we all take from not recognizing ...read more

    Recommissioned

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 22, 2023
     | 1,437 views

    Shame will keep us from living out what Jesus has called us to do. Walk with Jesus and Simon Peter to see Jesus recommission Peter to work in the Kingdom of God.

    Recommissioned (John 21:15-19) Intro: A. I want to share some quick highlights in the life the Apostle Peter. He gets his name after his brother brings him to Jesus down in Judea when they were following John the Baptist, but he gets his commission up in Galilee after Jesus preaches to a crowd ...read more

    How Does The Holy Spirit Work In Me?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on May 2, 2023
     | 1,720 views

    Sometimes Christians wonder if they have the Holy Spirit because they have not had some overt experience or do not speak in tongues or have an outward miraculous gift. This sermon is for those believers.

    The Spirit's Work and Mind Intro: A. Luke writes a gospel account of the life of Jesus, and then gives us the sequel, the early beginning of the church. It is in the book of Acts we are introduced to the Holy Spirit at work guiding the church leaders and be at work in all disciples of ...read more

    It's Our Fault

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Sep 18, 2024
     | 1,111 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

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 14, 2024
     | 618 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

    Trustworthy Saying - Part 3

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 14, 2024
     | 424 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 Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 28, 2024
     | 688 views

    This sermon begins a short series of the main stories people know from the book of Daniel. This set up "young Daniel and his 3 friends." It teaches how Nebuchadnezzar changed the minds of children and how Daniel helps us to stand our spiritual ground instead of conform.

    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

    No One But God Series

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Oct 28, 2024

     | 877 views

    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

     | 2,445 views

    Three went in and three came out, but there was a fourth man in the fire with them. Who is that fourth man? Whoever the fourth man is, God got the glory.

    The Fourth Man In The Fire (Dan. 3:24-25) Intro: A. Quick show of hands. How many of you are familiar with the incident where Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego were cast into a fiery furnace? Anyone remember that in your Bible? I want to start by telling you that we are around 15-20 years into ...read more
