Should It Be All About Me

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Jan 21, 2019

This is a message on giving. The goal is to help us discover how making the world all about us keeps us from loving God and loving each other. It involves evaluating what tithing is all about.

From Words To Actions

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Mar 13, 2018

It is one thing for Jesus to say that he loves his disciples, but he puts these words into action when he washes their feet. At the same time, Jesus demonstrates to us that love needs to go beyond words and is seen in service.

INTRODUCTION Love is in the air—or at least the airwaves. A majority of songs on the stations that I listen to are songs about love. I suspect that the same can be said about the songs and stations to which you listen. Love is a BIG force in our lives, yet as one song suggests, “There’s just too ...read more

The Thief Came To Steal...and The Thieves Are In The Pulpits!

Contributed by Mark H. Stevens Thd on Apr 6, 2018

Why Do Christian Preachers teach an Old Covenant practice that only applied to Israel and the care of the Levites that didn't have a land inheritance?

"Will a man ROB God?" How many untold tens of thousands of men will give account one day for teaching this verse in Malachi 3:8 totally out of context for their own sordid gain. I couldn’t count the times I have heard self-appointed ministers of the gospel berate their congregations and listeners ...read more

An Extravagant Gift Of Appreciation

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Oct 19, 2023

Seeing all the smiles, but knowing there was a betrayal, a denial, and desertion just ahead. It must have been tempting to stop the celebration and pour out his heart, but Jesus smiled and received this gift of appreciation, then celegrated the giver.

While he was eating, a woman came in with a beautiful alabaster jar of expensive perfume and poured it over his head. The ...read more

What Is This Thing Called Love?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 26, 2023

What is love, that we should know when we have it? Is love a feeling? a right? an instinct? What is love?

Some enchanted evening you will meet a stranger across a crowded room. Neither of you has a clue what the other is like. But your heart rate goes up and your imagination goes into overdrive and, well, you know how it goes, right? Happily ever after is just around the corner. Is this love? On her ...read more

An Audience Of One Series

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Sep 1, 2023

This passage of Scripture teaches us that when we pray to the Lord, and even give monetarily, that it is to be done entirely for Him and not as a public display for others. Every act of worship is to be seen only by an audience of One.

I have entitled our message this morning, “An Audience of One,” based on a song by Christian music artist Big Daddy Weave. Allow me to share some of the lyrics of this song: “I come on my knees, to lay down before You; bringing all that I am, longing only to know You. Seeking Your face, and not ...read more
