When The Hereafter's Not So Sweet Series

Contributed by Timothy Peck on Jan 18, 2001

Is there a hell, what is hell like and why is hell necessary?

Over time some things lose their usefulness, they become obsolete. Just like 8-track tapes, Disneyland e-tickets, turntables, and typewriters. In our modern world these things have become artifacts of days gone by. And not only do things outgrow their usefulness, but ideas do as well. For instance, ...read more

Answers to three questions: What is coveting? Why is it bad? How can we be free from it?

There’s a new religious cult in our community, and most of us haven’t even noticed it. This cult is far larger than the ones you’ve heard about on the radio or read about in most books about cults.

Getting Creative With God

Contributed by Bradley White-Findeisen on Feb 7, 2001

God continues his creativity through us.

GETTING CREATIVE WITH GOD If one were to ask an unbiased observer to name that institution in our society which clearly espouses creativity, we can be sure that he would not name our twentieth-century church. This is an indictment of how we Christians feel about the mandate God has given us for ...read more

Blessing, Division, And Vision Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Feb 24, 2001

God blesses when we get behind the vision He ordains. Division threatens to side track the church from His vision. This sermon looks at the importance of seeking unity, but not at the cost of the vision God calls us to follow.

Blessing, Division, and Vision Genesis 13: 1 Then Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, to the South. 2 Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had ...read more

Uncertainty Of War Series

Contributed by Eddie Snipes on Feb 15, 2003

Is our nation withing God’s will as we prepare for war and what is the church’s responsibility?

Uncertainty of War and the Protection of God As we enter this time of uncertainty and war seems eminent, I question our position as a nation in God’s divine plan.

Hunting For Humility?

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000

Christianity would benefit greatly if there were more humble individuals in both pulpits and pews

When asked what were the three most important Christian virtues, Augustine replied, "Humility, humility, and humility." Yet, this great virtue is in rather short supply in our culture. Even very good people seem to have a hard time being really humble. One day Linus tells Charlie Brown, "When I ...read more

What Mary And Joseph Didn't Know

Contributed by Kyle Meador on Dec 18, 2000

God is working, almost invisibly, to draw his creation back to his heart. Come and see how God is working, even without giving all the details to this young couple.

What Mary and Joseph Didn’t Know The Christmas story is a remarkably well-known one. The majority of those who identify themselves as Christian in any manner are well versed with the story of the birth of Jesus. I also would venture to say that, in the United States at least, a great many of those ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Nov 10, 2001

Keep on the firing line!
