I Was Just Thinking Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Mar 13, 2019

So Why Are Bad Things Happening To Good People? Series

Contributed by Alis Cerrahyan on Jul 9, 2019

Trying to get even with the enemy will turn a simple lesson in humility into a huge humiliation which is never God's plan for us. So the sooner we walk away from our oppressor without any retaliation; the sooner we give God the opportunity to right the wrong.

God created a special place for his beloved children: the garden of Eden where we were meant to have an eternal fellowship with him. He made us after his own image and decorated us with his own attributes such as the ability to think; reason; speak; create; love; increase; experience the many ...read more

Heaven's Open Door Policy

Contributed by Scott Maze on Mar 3, 2025

The Bible says you can open up your innermost thoughts and just spill them out on the ground before Jesus. He’s not going to look at you like, “Oh gross!” He’s not going to laugh at you or mock you.

We are beginning the new year by praying together as a church. Maybe you are not sure of yourself when it comes to prayer. If prayer were a high school sport, you’re not sure you’d receive a “letter” on your varsity jacket for prayer. Many of you have picked up the little book, 21 Days of Prayer. ...read more

The Dangers Of Relying On False Idols Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 2, 2025

False idols (or false gods) are worthless & unable to follow through with anything, but they appear to be attractive because they make us feel what WE crave (to be in control). Are we in love with our false idol, or our false god, and also don’t want to give it up?

Rash Promises

Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 12, 2025

Rash vows reveal hearts that bargain in fear, but God calls us to trust His covenant grace, where Christ’s finished work—not our promises—secures victory and freedom.

When Two Remain Two: Marriage To An Unbeliever Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

As long as the divorce is sought by, and initiated by, the unbeliever, the Christian spouse is not enslaved to Jesus’ command not to divorce. Yet, the believer will plead with the unconverted spouse to change their mind on wanting a divorce.

Marriage is the story of our lives. It is the story of grandpa’s love for grandma for these past fifty years. It’s the backdrop of the world our children are born. It is the fabric of so many of our families where dad and mom set up a home. Their love is constant. Their love is normalcy. Romantic ...read more
