How Do I Become A Christian?

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 24, 2021

So you've looked at the arguments for God, the Bible, and Jesus. You've decided there is enough evidence to take a reasonable leap of faith. Or you just know in your heart there is a God, something bigger than you. What's next?

Thanking God Series

Contributed by D Marion Clark on Mar 6, 2016

Surely our Lord meditated upon Jonah’s fish story. He knew that he was heading into a mighty storm. Unlike Jonah, he was not fleeing from God’s presence. He was heading directly to the storm, and he himself would leap

Consider The Heavens

Contributed by Randy Marshall on Jul 20, 2019

Recently, the world celebrated the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 and the words heard from the surface of the moon, "that's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." On the journey, there were also two significant spiritual events.

On July 23rd as the three astronauts hurled back toward earth. On the last night before their splashdown, they participated in a televised broadcast. The second man to step on the moon, Buzz Aldrin commented: “This has been far more than three men on a mission to the Moon; more, still, than the ...read more

This message is a reminder that to grow spiritually into living a life that imitates Jesus requires three things: Knowledge, Experience and Time. Working together, they will produce Spiritual Maturity in a Christian’s life.

Good evening everyone. Let’s open with a word of prayer. I want to set the stage by sharing with you something my father used to tell me and my siblings when we did things that didn’t make a lot of sense to him. He would slowing shake his head from left to right and say, “the older you get is ...read more

Things Are Not Always As They Seem Series

Contributed by Kevin Purcell on May 24, 2005

This is a First Person Narrative of the Lame Man that Peter and John healed in Acts 3. He says that when a person really sees the need of another person, then they can respond in faith and take a risk for that person. When that happens God blesses and g

"Do You Wanna Get Well?

Contributed by David Henderson on Aug 28, 2018

In this message we look at a question that on the surface is quite odd. I mean if you had been lame for 38 years and someone asked you if you wanted to be well, would that be a difficult question? Perhaps it is harder than we first realize.

“Do you want to be well? John 5:1-17 In our recent study in Nehemiah I showed you this picture of what the wall looked like that Nehemiah and the builders constructed around Jerusalem. This picture shows 10 gates that were used to gain entrance to the city. Each gate had a specific ...read more

Witnessing To The Hurting Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 21, 2012

How do you do "church"? Is it about going to a building and singing songs, praying prayers and listening to a sermon... or is there something more to it than that?

OPEN: Years ago at summer camp I learned this little song. If you know it sing along with me: Peter and John went to pray. They met a lame man on the way. He held out his palm and asked for an alm, and this is what Peter did say: "Silver and gold have I none, but such as I have give I thee. In ...read more

Being A Finisher

Contributed by Howard Strickland on Jun 23, 2007

Athletic history records some leaps from worst to first. For example, the Minnesota Twins finished last in their division in 1990, yet came back to win the World Series in 1991, illustrating the maxim, “ it’s not how you begin, it’s how you finish!”

Being a Finisher Text: Hebrews 10: 32-39 But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: 33 partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so ...read more

The Prayer For Boldness Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 10, 2017

It was with great joy that Peter and John (and in all likelihood the lame man was with them) went to the place where “their own company” of fellow believers (the whole church) had assembled—and I am sure they were received with great joy.

Blessed To Bless

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 29, 2023

Our Heavenly Father has blessed us so that we can bless others in the same way.

I love the book of Ephesians. Well, I guess you could also say that about Philippians and Colossians because, oftentimes, I read these epistles together in one sitting. As I laid in bed recently, I heard the latter part of Ephesians 1:3 being rehearsed in my mind. Holy Spirit had put the verse on ...read more

Giving God Your Worst

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on May 21, 2020

In the Book of Malachi we see Israelites dishonoring the Lord by offering animals as sacrifices that they would cull out of their herds and flocks. We also see priests dishonoring the Lord by actually offering these detestable non-sacrifices. Do we offer the Lord our best or our worst?
