The Dark, Bright Night Series

Contributed by Bob Marcaurelle on Mar 8, 2016

Message 7 is the story of the Passover comparing it to the final judgments of God where lost and saved will have separate fates. This is not because of the goodness of the saved but because of the blood being applied.

The Theology Of The Birth Of Jesus

Contributed by Joel Mcreynolds on Mar 24, 2016

Paul never tells us of the story of Christmas. He leaves that to the writers of the gospels. But in this tremendous passage, he tells us of the glory of Christmas. He tells us why the night on which Jesus was born was such a Holy Night and how to respond to it.

All of us probably know the beautiful Christmas hymn "O Holy Night." In the first stanza the writer invites us to close our eyes and imagine the world before the birth of Jesus. He says it is a world that lay "in sin and error pining." The word pining refers to the wasting away of the human spirit ...read more

4th Of July - Let God Be Praised! - Part 2

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Jul 30, 2018

I know that America is not perfect, but I do believe that it is the greatest nation on earth. And part of the reason is because our forefathers acknowledged God & their dependence upon Him.

Workers And Bosses

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019

Most of us are pretty good at knowing how to behave at church. But how does Christian faith apply in your workplace. The Apostle Paul gives some real wisdom for us in his letter to the Ephesians.

Imagine with me that we aren’t in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, but in the Greek city of Ephesus. And it’s not this morning. It’s the first century. And the routine of going to church is very different. There is no church building. We come to church in a house, the home of one of the few ...read more

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Mar 11, 2022

Sermon, I Give You This Land, Even More, I give this land to Your Children. The story of God and Abram starts when God commands Abram to migrate to Canaan. God offers Abram magnanimous promises: he will be a great nation; he will have a great name; God will bless people who bless him and curse the ...read more

Born In Sin…born Not To Sin

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

We live in a society that knows a great deal about the PHYSICAL BIRTH, but very little about the SPIRITUAL BIRTH!

Make Kindness Thrive Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 26, 2021

A Christian is to be one who is daily creating chain reactions of kindness. Lucy Larcom said, "If the world seems cold to you, kindle fires to warm it." That was the practical goal Jesus was aiming at with this story of the Good Samaritan.

Back in 1991 Glamor Magazine had an editorial about a woman who drove up to the toll booth of the Bay Bridge in San Francisco and said, "I'm paying for myself and for the 6 cars behind me." One after another the next 6 drivers came up to the booth with dollars in hand only to be ...read more

Conformity To The Cross Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

The Corinthians Christians had become arrogant, crowing like a rooster. To use a Texas idiom, they had become “all hat and no cattle.” In the words of Glenn Campbell, “A Rhinestone Cowboy.”

It’s a message from Paul’s first letter to the Corinthians and it represents a journey of sorts. A journey to an another land – and older land – where the goals of Christianity were not set by marketers in order to make it more palatable. Instead, the agenda was set by prophets who sought holy, ...read more
