Psalm 11:1-7 teaches us to trust in the Lord despite advice to the contrary.

Introduction Today, I would like to begin our summer series of sermons. Due to summer schedules with people traveling and various interruptions, I thought it would be wise to do a series of messages that do not build from one week to the next. So, over the summer months, I would like us to ...read more

Return To Me Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022

Superheroes have captured Americans’ imagination for a long time. We all know the saying, “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, no, it’s Superman!” It’s not an angel coming. It’s not a prophet coming. It’s the Lord Himself coming. “It’s a prophet. It’s an angel. No, it’s the Lord.”

I invite you to find the book of Malachi with me if you will [page 954 in your pew Bibles]. Today’s Scripture You have wearied the LORD with your words. But you say, “How have we wearied him?” By saying, “Everyone who does evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delights in them.” Or by ...read more

The Fear Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022

Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

One Minute To Midnight Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 3, 2022

We look in the O.T. where God delivered right at the last moment. The trial required faith and patience. One minute to midnight - right at the last moment. The testing of our faith brings glory to God when the child of His love proves the faith that is genuine.

ONE MINUTE TO MIDNIGHT This message will look at intervention in the nick of time. I don’t know if the expression “the nick of time” is known around the world, but it means “just in time”, “at the last moment”. “One minute to midnight,” is a similar expression, and it is surprising how God ...read more
