Contributed by Neal Gracey on Dec 13, 2024

You want to know something… there are as many non-Christians celebrating Christmas, as Christians. Although many people have almost forgotten what Christmas really means, there are still plenty of people young and old around the world, who have a different take on what Christmas is.

Never Let The Wine Dry Up

Contributed by Reggie Corfield on Jan 14, 2025

All of us are much like empty and broken pots. No matter how we plan or what we do, we always come up empty and short. Whether it is a marriage relationship or any other challenges, like Mary we need to seek the help of our Lord and believe before we can see.

This morning I have chosen the gospel reading to share a message entitled “Never let the wine run out.” But before I get into it, listen to this: A priest was driving erratically on a county road and got pulled over by a local cop. As the cop went up to the car he immediately got a strong smell of ...read more

Grace From Galatians (2 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Ministers go into the ministry for a number of reasons: • Some think it is an easy job, SO WHY NOT • Some folks enjoy being in front of people • Some are in the ministry because Mommy wanted a ...read more

Routines, Ruts, & Revolutions

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Jul 7, 2024

Ancient Israel's wilderness wanderings have lessons for us. I gave ChatGPT detailed prompts and it helped me organize my thoughts for this sermon. I'm not completely satisfied with it, but I will rework it and preach it again.

Title: Routines, Ruts, & Revolutions Opening: This quote is often attributed to the genius of Albert Einstein. Before him, art critics and psychological theorists had recognized the idea.

From Dust To Life: Tested And Transformed

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 26, 2026

Why did Joseph stir up the pain of the past, what did he constantly awaken the consciousness of their failures? What was the purpose, what did it accomplish? Gen 44 speaks hope into the past so that we do not have to bring into the future.

In real life, people carry the weight of brokenness—family dysfunction, personal failures, neglect, and wounds that often go unspoken. What do we normally do with the dysfunction? Cover it up and move on. This next chapter in Genesis speaks hope into these areas of brokenness. God shows us how our ...read more
