Witness Protection Program Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Aug 2, 2024

Jesus offers us 3 witnesses: 1) human testimony, 2) the very things Jesus is doing, and lastly, 3) the Scriptures themselves. If you’re wondering if it’s crazy to believe Jesus is God, the same kinds of evidence they had is the same kind of evidence you have.

When your world is in chaos, do you think life is random? When your world is a snow globe shaken in every direction, do you feel as if there is no one who is in control? In the midst of chaos, Jesus steps forward to say, “I’ve got this.” We begin a series entitled “This Is Your Captain Speaking.” ...read more

Jesus Christ: The Light Of The World

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 17, 2022

John's Gospel presents seven distinctive claims by the Lord Jesus Christ (John 6:48, 8:12, 10:9, 11, 25, 14:6, 15:5). His claims reveal a great deal about our world, our lives, and what he has to offer us. This message will center on His claim of being "the Light of the World".

The Lord Jesus made it clear to His disciples and those who encountered Him throughout HIs three and a half years of ministry that He was no mere healer, teacher, sage, or model of behavior we could try to emulate. Each of the four Gospels present Him as God Incarnate, the fulfillment of ...read more

A Wild Life Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 25, 2013

Jesus saved us to live a wild and adventurous life. But how can we do that? We're not apostles like Peter and John were. We don't have their courage and experience. We're just common ordinary folks... or are we?

OPEN: When we first started this series, I sang the chorus to “Born To Be Wild” (by Steppenwolf). This morning I want to sing for you the 1st phrase of the first verse of that song: “Get your motor runnin' - Head out on the highway. Lookin' for adventure and whatever comes our ...read more

How Do We Protect The Unborn?

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 27, 2023

A message I delivered to the Right To Life gathering in Greene County, Indiana.

About 3 years ago I had a FB conversation with a young lady I knew and some of her friends. They’d been upset with a pro-life meme I had on my FB page, and they decided to gang-up on me and show me the error of my ways. Some of their tactics were - they’d say that if I cared about the unborn ...read more

John, in the book of the Revelation has a brilliant vision of heaven in which Jesus as the Lion of Judah and the Lamb Slain is shown as triumphant, sharing his victory over evil with the Christian believer.

Wesley's 3-Strand Discipleship

Contributed by Doug Morrell on May 18, 2005

Founded on Jesus’ blueprint for discipleship, John Wesley developed a simple plan for maturing and equipping the saints. Wesley said, “The Church changes the world not by making converts but by making disciples.”

“Perhaps the greatest single weakness of the contemporary Christian Church is that millions of supposed members are not really involved at all and, what is worse, do not think it strange that they are not. As soon as we recognize Christ’s intention to make His Church a militant company we ...read more
