    A bridge between the creation of the Earth, and Man.

    Pressure By F. Martin While driving to work I was singing as always along with a gospel track. It gets me into the place of worship that I cannot get to on my own. I am effectively my own worship leader, in my own mobile church. I am the deacon, pastor, teacher, parishioner and ...read more

    Truly we live in a time that is frantic with fear. Being cautious will allow us to work in God’s Kingdom while living in fear will cause the Kingdom to shut down.

She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. "It’s dark in there and I’m scared." She asked again, and he persisted. Finally ...read more

    Focusing on eternity rather than earthly priorities.

    Treasures in Heaven Matthew 6:19-24 June 12, 2005 Introduction It’s been said that Jesus speaks more about money than he spoke about heaven and hell.

    based on 3 ratings
     | 5,360 views

    This sermon introduces the idea of commitment. This series addresses the weakness that Christians have in committing to Christ totally.

    This Thing Called Commitment I remember back in 1998 when I saw my wife for the very first time. She wasn’t my wife at the time, but I knew I was going to like her. I met her at college, back at good old Central Christian College. We got to know each other. We were at the New Student ...read more

     | 67,807 views

    Joseph’s coat of many colors could have been a symbol of so many things that his father Israel tried to teach him. The different colors in the Bible speak of so many significant things for our lives today as well.

    A Coat of Many Colors By Pastor Jim May All of you probably remember the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors. This morning, being Father’s Day, I want to speak to you about that coat and what it could signify to every father in the church today. Genesis 37:1-3, "And Jacob dwelt in the ...read more

    God desires for you to have a future and a hope!

    Life gives us plenty of reasons for despair, doesn’t it? When disappointment comes, I sometimes think about a quote: “It doesn’t matter how far you fall, but how high you bounce.” Once, I shared the first part with someone hoping they would finish the last part and end up being encouraged. I ...read more

    based on 23 ratings
     | 5,351 views

    Let me begin by making two statements: First, forgiveness may be unnecessary among perfect beings, but it is vital to those of us with enough wisdom to admit we are imperfect. Second, above all, we need forgiveness from our Creator just to be reconcil

    TEXT: Luke 23:34a TITLE: FROM THE CROSS TO THE WORLD {Forgiveness} Let me begin by making two statements: First, forgiveness may be unnecessary among perfect beings, but it is vital to those of us with enough wisdom to admit we are imperfect.

     | 27,343 views

    While we can benefit from some of the wisdom that whirls around us, to be truly wise we need the wisdom that comes from above.

    Recently a survey was done with a group of kids. This is how they responded to the question, “What do you think wisdom is?” Rocky, age 9, said, “Wisdom is wearing a hat when feeding seagulls.” 9-year-old Carol commented, “Never ask for anything that costs more than $5 when your parents are doing ...read more

    The Scourge Of Legalism Series

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Sep 12, 2004
    based on 58 ratings
     | 6,935 views

    The problem with legalism is: 1. It turns a relationship of love into a religion of laws. 2. It turns people from encouragers into fault-finders. 3. It emphasizes outward conformity rather than inner transformation.

    What an interesting story about the early church The Word of God has just spread to the Gentiles (non-Jews and people from other lands), and they have responded enthusiastically to its message. There were thrilling stories of healings, miracles and dramatic conversions. These new converts were ...read more
