    There are two kinds of Christians that you will find in every church. These two kinds are…

    (1) Those who have been saved for many years but they have not grown spiritually one iota! Illus: Do you remember the story of “Peter Pan?” He was a boy who refused to grow up.

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,806 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

    Have you ever stopped to consider the difference between a gift that falls flat and one that touches your heart? The perfect gift isn’t just about what’s given—it’s about the thought, intention, and love behind it, and that’s exactly what we see in God’s gifts to us.

    The Perfect Gift Have you ever received a gift that made you stop and think, “What were they thinking?” Maybe it was a half-burned candle, an unsolicited diet book, or a truly confusing gag gift. Let’s see a show of hands—who’s received a gift that left them scratching their heads? Now, imagine ...read more

    James in his first chapter warns us not to be deceived, providing reasons to believe in God's goodness regardless of our circumstances.

    In the late 90s, there was a popular saying in the church: "God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good." It's easy to proclaim God's goodness when things are going well, but what about when we face difficult circumstances? How can we know that God is truly good? In James 1:16-18, we find ...read more
