Looking For The Uppertaker, Not The Undertaker Series

Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Feb 20, 2014

It seems in today's world, things keep getting worse and worse. It's not your imagination. One day soon, the Rapture of the church will occur, and all Christians will go home to Heaven prior to the worst period the earth has ever known. Three messages.

Rev 4:1-2 1 After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this." 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne ...read more

“what Is That To You? Follow Me”

Contributed by Silas Eke on Feb 26, 2015

We should accept it as axiomatic that God’s dealings with our fellow-disciples are no concern of ours. Our business is to watch our motives carefully, to keep our eyes on the Lord whom we follow, and not to look over our shoulders at others.

Tested saints in all ages have been prone to complain like Israel: “the way of the Lord is not equal” (Ezekiel 18:29). Some of God’s dealings seem to contradict our innate sense of fairness; and instead of faithfully discharging our responsibilities, we are tempted to look over ...read more

Dare To Be Different

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 11, 2016

Change is difficult-it’s hard to sustain. There is much working against it so we need motivators and incentives to keep at it and stay the course. Daring to be differerent may not be easy but it's rewarding and it's what we're called to do as Christians.

DARE TO BE DIFFERENT 2nd Cor. 6:14-7:1 INTRODUCTION: As we roll into January we find ourselves being dedicated to making some changes-losing weight, eating better, exercising more; as well as making resolutions to be better people, manage our finances better, things like that. But, as we all know, ...read more

The Incognito Jesus

Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 27, 2012

Frequently Jesus asked people He healed or those who received revelations about Him to keep it quiet and not tell what they knew. At other times His very appearance was altered to disguise His identity. Why did He choose to be incognito?

THE INCOGNITO CHRIST John 12:20-21 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: WHEN FULL OF BALOGNE 1. A fly was buzzing along one morning when he saw a lawn mower someone had left out in their front yard. He flew over and sat on the handle, watching the children going down the sidewalk on their way to school. 2. ...read more

Taking A Look At Faith

Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Dec 8, 2012

When it comes to faith I believe in two things; God can and God cares. Why did the followers of Jesus mentioned in the Hebrew writers' description endure the horrific treatment of persecution? Why did they keep their faith in Jesus as the Son of God eve

Last week we took a look at failure. We discussed that God’s love is unconditional. He doesn't remove love because of your failure or give you some love when you succeed. He loves you because He made you. Paul made his case that even with his failures; God was using Him to unleash His power ...read more

Obey God, Or Accept The Consequences

Contributed by Craig Condon on Dec 10, 2015

We can’t let fear or ignorance keep us from giving the lost people a message that can change their eternal destiny. The apostle Paul was not ashamed of the Gospel because through it God’s power is released to save humanity.

Have you ever had a difficult time accepting God’s word? That’s only natural. Sometimes it’s hard for us to accept God’s word because of our self-centered nature. Man has always believed that everything revolves around him, and to be told that this is not true causes ...read more

Can You Have Faith Without Hope?

Contributed by Derrick Thompson, Sr. on Oct 25, 2013

So, You Think You're Not A Pharisee?

Contributed by Dan Funk on Aug 28, 2014

Christ directed the Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican Praying in the Temple to those who trusted in their own righteousness. We are more prone to trust in our own righteousness than we might think. This self-trust can keep us from being merciful.

Over the years, we have all heard preachers address the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican praying in the Temple. “The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast ...read more

The Power Of Praise

Contributed by John Gaston on Dec 1, 2019

When we praise the Lord, God inhabits our praises. The enemy knows that when God’s presence comes, His power, His anointing, and His blessings come too, so he tries to keep you from experiencing the supernatural.

THE POWER OF PRAISE Ps. 40:3 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: 1. A police officer jumps into his squad car and calls the station. “I have an interesting case here,” he says. “A woman shot her husband for stepping on the floor she just mopped.” 2. “Have you arrested her?” asks the sergeant. “No!” “Why ...read more

Going All Out Series

Contributed by Monty Newton on Oct 8, 2017

Living into our calling in Christ challenges us to realize we are not who we hope to be, but neither are we what we used to be. So we press on, keeping the past in proper perspective, understanding who we will become is in the future.
