Health Check 2020

Contributed by Dwight Davis on Jan 9, 2020

Just as the physical and mental health crisis continue to worsen in this country, another health crisis is growing at an alarming pace, and yet it doesn't even make the news. I'm talking about our spiritual health crisis--the true "silent killer."

Some of you may remember that in my last sermon I talked about how this time of the year is the time we typically look back on our lives and consider just how much God has blessed us and our families. And despite the hustle and bustle of this holiday season, I hope you've taken the time to do ...read more

Conduct Matters Series

Contributed by Stephen Weatherby on Aug 16, 2021

Conduct Matters

In the book I Surrender, Patrick Morley writes that the church’s integrity problem is in the misconception “that we can add Christ to our lives, but not subtract sin. It is a change in belief without a change in behavior. It is revival without reformation or repentance.” We are on week three of ...read more

Series #12. This passage will take a look at the qualifications of God's ministers.

I remember when we first began attending church in Portland, OR. They could tell I was originally from the northeastern part of the US. Something about an accent and an attitude.

His wife insisted that he needed some rest, so she suggested a vacation. Edison mulled it over but wasn’t sure where he should go. His wife said, ‘Just decide where you ...read more

Silent Solitude

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 3, 2021

Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” Do you share Job's sentiment? To say this past year has been stressful is an understatement. As we begin our new year, maybe it's time to incorporate some silent solitude into our daily regimen.

SILENT SOLITUDE Peace and quiet. How many times have you wished for that? How many times have you tried to get it but were unsuccessful? Maybe you share Job's sentiment. Job 3:26, "I have no peace, no quietness; I have no rest, but only turmoil.” We can understand why Job would say this. ...read more

In these incredibly tumultuous times, what on Earth is going to happen? Daniel 7 gives us a panoramic view of tumultuous human history, but assures us in the end, God wins. Much of it has been fulfilled, assuring us that what awaits to be fulfilled will be fulfilled as well.

The Sermon On The Mount (Part Twelve) Series

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 18, 2019

Throughout the sermon on the mount, Jesus clarified misconceptions. He explained the deeper implications of the law and broadened their understanding so they could conduct themselves according to God's intentions. Today, Jesus does this regarding retaliation.

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part twelve) Matt. 5:38-42 Jane Vajnar writes the story about her friend's four young boys. They were always full of energy; even in church. But the sermon her minister preached on turning the other cheek got their undivided attention. The minister stressed that no ...read more
