America: A Nation Lost.

Contributed by James Cloud on Aug 4, 2007

This sermon deals with how far we have come from our Founding Fathers’ original intentions for this great nation and how we are balancing on the threshold of judgment.

America: A Nation Lost I love the United States; it has been my pride and my joy since my youth. I am proud to be an American. Though, I cannot help but be very troubled over the path America has chosen in regards to its founding and the men who fought and bled for our independence. Many ...read more

A New Beginning Needed Series

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 28, 2006

God gives us his Holy Spirit to enable us to be renewed and begin life again as children of God.

A Pharisee, a leader of the Jews, came to see Jesus by night. We’re not told why he came. His opening statement might indicate a curiosity about who Jesus really is. But then, it might also be simply the opening statement that precedes some sort of accusation or put down. "We know that you are a ...read more

Moles Or Souls? Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Feb 21, 2009

Some of us choose darkness, like moles burrowing into the ground. Our behavior becomes obsessively demonic, for which there are consequences. The Gospel calls us to be what God has made us to be, creatures living in the light, with passion.

Well, now, are you a mole or a soul? I want you to identify yourself, clearly and unequivocally, are you a mole or a soul? I suppose that does require a bit of explanation. A mole is a little creature that lives out its life underground, in the darkness, endlessly burrowing to and fro and making ...read more

The Unconditonal Love Of God

Contributed by Anthony Zibolski on Mar 9, 2009
