    There is a teaching in the church that on the Day of Pentecost, only the 12 Disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, and not all of the 120 who were in the Upper Room, including Mary, the surrogate mother of Jesus. (Sidebar - Some people use the term "ghost" from the King James ...read more

    No One Else

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,251 views

    A recent survey revealed that many Christians believe a person can go to heaven and not believe in Jesus. This message looks at a way we can help family and friends understand that heaven is not available to the person who does not accept Jesus as the only way to heaven.

    Good morning! Today is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it! Amen?!?! I’m going to tell you on the front end. Today, you’re going to feel like you in class because of the approach I will be taking with this message. So, please get some paper and a pen and we will begin. ...read more

    Anne's life and her death has left an imprint on everyone who had the honor and privilege to know her. Few things are more powerful than the tears and the prayers of a mother. Few things are more tender than a mother's hug or her compassionate touch.

    The Need For Unity

    Contributed by Larry Benton on Jun 28, 2022
     | 2,473 views

    Without Unity, the church will lose it's light. It will no longer be able to show the light of Christ to a lost world.

    THE NEED FOR UNITY We are told that the church is to be salt and light, a beacon to a lost world. But we will lose our light, our mission if there is not unity in our church. Let us look this morning at how Jesus wants his earthly body, the church, to function. But first let us pray. Prayer 1 ...read more

    Bible Canon

     | 949 views

    How did we get the Bible? How do we understand it?

    The Christian Bible forms the measure of our faith. While tradition, reason and experience can contribute in valuable ways to our faith, they are not always the teachings of Jesus, the prophets and apostles. Let’s look at the canon of the Bible. Compiling the Bible over thousands of years is ...read more

    There are major differences when it comes to the church and the world celebrating Christmas

    CHRISTMAS vs The World & The Church For the World, Christmas is about Santa Claus. But for the Church, It’s about Jesus Christ. For the World, Christmas is about Charles Dicken’s Caricature: Ebenezer Scrooge. But for the Church, It’s about God the Father sending His Beloved Son: Immanuel, ...read more

    Dealing With Contradictions

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 8, 2021
     | 3,234 views

    As Christians, we live in world that is foreign to us. We live in a world that contradicts the life that Jesus lived - a life that He said we could also live. This message examines the reasons why we face contradictions in our lives and how to deal with them.

    In the Gospels, Jesus uses a method of teaching known as parables to communicate principles about the kingdom of God. A parable compares two things by placing them side by side. By using parables, Jesus compares the unfamiliar, the kingdom of God, to the familiar, nature and life experiences. ...read more

    Before The Beginning Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 4,116 views

    Had God alone been there from the beginning, there would be no thing or no one for Him to love. But God was not alone. The Trinity, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit were three in one. So God is relational before anything else.

    The Bible is a single story. It doesn’t appear to be one story. The Bible is a long book, written over 1,500 years and in numerous different genres. But if you look closely enough, you’ll find one cohesive story. It is one single story with unity and a compelling narrative. And we can summarize ...read more

     | 5,233 views

    The importance of protecting the unity of the church and practical principles and steps for doing so.

    We'd like to think that the church is immune to conflict and disagreement. After all, we're all Christians here. Right? Well, don't be naive. Hopefully, we're all striving to be like Christ. But we're also humans who sometimes fall short. We say things or react before we ...read more

    Matt. 8:26 says that Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the waves, and it was completely calm. It wasn't just somewhat calm, but completely calm. What are some other ways the bible use the word, complete?

    COMPLETELY (part one) Last week, in my sermon on sleeping in heavenly peace, I talked about the boat story, where Jesus was sleeping on a cushion while the disciples were battling the storm. Matt. 8:26 says that Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the waves, and it was completely calm. I thought ...read more

    Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,525 views

    I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

    God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more

    Suffering is included in our journey to glory. Many think when bible is talking about suffering, it's talk about lack of money or lack of just physical things, If this is our definition of Suffering, then, what makes us different from unbeliever that are passing through same thing

    WHAT IS SUFFERING? The definition of Suffering is in the book of John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
