    “Returning thanks for blessings already received increases our faith and enables us to approach God with new boldness and new assurance.... As one meditates on the answer to prayers already granted, faith waxes bolder and bolder, and we come to feel in th

    The Tale Of Two Cities

    The message this Sunday will look at our attitude towards God’s word, and how we approach it, because that is what determines its effectiveness in our lives. We will look at this through Paul’s missionary travels to Thessalonica and Berea.

    The Tale of Two Cities Acts 17:1-15 ** Watch at: https://youtu.be/XGSvRuwVCGo Now, when I came up with the title of today’s message, my immediate reaction was towards the book written by Charles Dickens back in 1879, and the two cities were Paris and London. In fact, while some of you may have ...read more

    The Greatest Gift, The Gift Of Himself.

     | 6,530 views

    This sermon takes a look at what is so significant about the incarnation of God. The significance I point out is that it reveals who God is and what He is like, then I focus on the approachability of God and how He experienced what we experience.

    This past week we exchanged gifts amongst our own family and to tell you the truth we just couldn’t wait to see the look on our little girl‘s faces. Denise had spent almost 4 months tracking down every type of care bear in existence for our youngest girl Carrie, and with all that hard work ...read more

     | 12,881 views

    One of the keys to participating in evangelism is to figure out how God can use your personality and gifts to make an impact in the lives of others. While Peter was quite confrontational in his approach, Paul utilized a more intellectual line of reasonin

    Discovering Your Style, Part 1 Rev. Brian Bill 2/25/01 Sometimes pastors take some heat for speaking too long.

    We are living today in the most exciting time in all of history. Why? Because there’s more people alive today than there’ve ever been. And before Jesus comes back (which could be at any moment), the Church has the potential for bringing literally millions of souls into the Kingdom of God.

    I introduce this series of messages with a personal accounting of where I have been lately in things Spiritual.

    Before we get started… I recently overheard, on a webcast, two leaders in what is being labeled the renewal/revival movement discussing just when it is proper to raise people from the dead. I won’t share their conclusions, but simply note how astounding it is that the discussion is ...read more

    New & Improved Or Tired & Old Series

     | 5,540 views

    Sometimes the new and improved isn’t - and we become leary. When God came up with a new and improved way to approach Him, some thought the new way was uncomfortable so they wanted to go back.

    There’s no doubt that we as humans like the comfortable and the familiar. Especially when presented with challenges - we like what we know. My dog is like that. She knows that when we are finished exercising on Saturday morning that it’s time for her walk. And at a certain time in the evening - she ...read more

    There Were Two Brothers

    based on 27 ratings
     | 3,113 views

    As we approach this third parable, the Lord seeks to contrast the lost with those who are not. Our tendency is to focus on the younger son in the parable, and to completely miss the elder son. Today, I hope to be the exception to that tendency.

    There Were Two Brothers Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION: This parable is the third of a trilogy of parables. The first parable in the group was that of the shepherd and the lost sheep. This parable told of the shepherd leaving the 99 sheep and searching for the one lost sheep. The truth communicated ...read more

    The second commandment teaches us that there is only one way to worship God the only true God. We are not to approach God through images and neither are we to make images of God because God is infinite and spirit.

    “The Only Way to Worship the Only True God” Exodus 20:4-6 In our last study we examined the purpose of the Law and the essence of the first Commandment. We saw that it was the right of God by creation as well as redemption that God can give His Law to His People. The Ten ...read more
