When Life Hurts

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Aug 19, 2019

Sometimes life makes us feel like we're getting pummeled. We're get pounded with left hooks and uppercuts and we don't have a chance to cover up and defend ourselves. Is this an appropriate analogy of how some of your days go? What can we do when life hurts?

WHEN LIFE HURTS Does this picture depict how you feel sometimes? My Uncle Jeff passed away recently. He had three kids; one of whom used to attend here-Eric. Jeff's daughter, Chelsea, posted this picture on Facebook and I commented on it. What I shared is incorporated in the sermon. 1) When ...read more

Clay Pot... Your Hidden Treasure

Contributed by Lorraine Greeff on Jul 4, 2021

clay pots were used to store treasures, oil, wheat, wine, important documents, what is hidden in your clay pot.

CLAY POT…YOUR HIDDEN TREASURE You cannot tell the value of something by the package it comes in.

Seeing The Invisible Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

One has not really begun to live until he begins to look, not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen, for these alone are the things that last forever.

A young sportsman just back from a hunting trip in India was criticizing the efforts of the missionaries there. He said that in all the months he was there he never saw any good they were doing. It was all a useless waste of money and effort. A returned missionary overheard him and asked him a ...read more

Overcoming Through Suffering In Ministry

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Apr 2, 2021

I’d like to begin with the example of Richard Wurmbrand. His is a famous struggle against true evil. He was born in Armenia in 1909. He was a minister in Romania during the spread of communism across the globe.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. -2 Corinthians 4:8-10 ESV I’d like to ...read more

Unraveling The Bema Seat Versus The Great White Throne Of Judgment

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Oct 19, 2020

Less than 200 years ago, teaching began that the Bema Judgment Seat and the Great White Throne Judgment are two separate events.

This teaching states that at the Bema Seat, the Born-Again Christian will be judged with rewards according to their works, while the Great White Throne judgment is where those who rejected Jesus as Lord and Savior will be judicially judged and given an eternal sentence of torment. This teaching has ...read more

Bouncing Back (Part Two)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 30, 2021

Persevering Crackpots

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jun 10, 2021

How did Paul respond to his critics ... ? ... Paul "... said, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles" (I Cor.1:23 NRSV). The true gospel of Jesus Christ removes all crutches that people use to prop up their pretentiousness!

PERSEVERING CRACKPOTS Text: II Corinthians 4:5 - 12, 2 Corinthians 4:5-12  For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus' sake.  (6)  For it is the God who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," who has ...read more

2nd Corinthians Series

Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Nov 20, 2021

Paul would go anywhere - endure anything -for the hope of winning one person to Jesus and he believed the eternal reward completely exceeded anything he had to suffer here on earth

November 20, 2021 2nd Corinthians differs from 1st Corinthians in that it deals with personal attacks leveled at Paul rather than doctrinal issues.
