    Hupotasso!

    See what God’s Word has to say about the element of love in the home.

    Introduction The biblical model for the order of the home, as we find here, is not as confining as many would paint it to be. Rather, it is freeing. Take, for example, the illustration of a train. Is a train functioning as a train when it is off track and careening down into a ravine? NO. ...read more

    Who Leads The Church? (Christ Leads The Church)

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,918 views

    Sometimes, we get too tied up with thinking that the Pastor is our leader and our guide. The truth is, Christ is the true leader of the church!

    1 Corinthians 1:10-18 (p 1772) I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s ...read more

    A Mother's Day message on the merits of an "unfeigned faith."

    "I Remember Mama" 2 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 I thank God, whom I serve from my ...read more

    My Heart Condition

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Sep 15, 2014
     | 12,411 views

    An honest look at the human heart is revealing and countermands the old concept that "The Heart is Good."

    My Heart Condition Matthew 15:1-20 • I submit that this story is a microcosm of the life of Jesus and His focus on the truth. • This past week I read a statistic that over 40% of deaths in America are caused by issues of the heart. Ultimately, every death is caused by heart failure. ...read more

    Yeah But...

    Contributed by Spencer Homan on Mar 31, 2011
     | 5,768 views

    How do we respond when asked to follow Christ. Do we shoot out a quick "Yeah but.." ?

    Luke 9:51-62 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. ...read more

    The Command In Discipleship Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 15, 2016
     | 9,400 views

    I fear many fail to consider the seriousness of Jesus' command to make disciples. As followers of Christ, we are all commanded to make other disciples. Thankfully, our Lord provided insight to His great command.

    The Command in Discipleship Matthew 28:19-20; Acts 1:8 After several weeks of discussion and consideration, I hope to conclude our series on discipleship. Hopefully we have been enlightened regarding discipleship, having a greater knowledge of what is expected, and how to be better equipped as ...read more

    Committed To Promoting The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 28, 2016
     | 9,264 views

    Even though Paul was in bonds, he rejoiced that the Gospel continued to be preached. He refused to allow his circumstances create despair. We too must seek every opportunity to share our faith, while rejoicing for others who are committed as well.

    Committed to Promoting the Gospel Philippians 1: 12-18 As one reads the opening verses of this letter, it is not immediately evident that Paul was bound in prison. His joy and positive attitude conceal the difficulties he faced daily. Although he was not free to move about within society, Paul ...read more

    The Pitfalls Of Pride Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 14,345 views

    Mankind has a tendency for pride and self-promotion. Pride results from our fallen state, revealing itself early in life. It has no conscience, seeking only self-satisfaction. Jesus reveals the remedy for pride.

    The Pitfalls of Pride Mark 10: 35-45 Man by his very nature has a tendency toward pride and self-promotion. The attributes associated with pride are revealed at a very early age. Children don’t have to be taught to be selfish; this characteristic is within their nature. Left unchecked our pride ...read more

    The Pharisees were not happy at the praise the disciples were giving Jesus, "if they were silent "Jesus told the Pharisees "these stones would cry out."

    Jesus is worthy of praise: A Palm Sunday message. Today in the Christian Calendar is an important day, the Sunday prior to Easter, Palm Sunday, not because of all the palm branches on the way in here or on the platform. It’s called Palm Sunday because as Jesus entered Jerusalem prior to his ...read more

    Righteousness Is Revealed Series

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Sep 17, 2007
    based on 21 ratings
     | 6,567 views

    This sermon attempts to communicate the truth that when you believe in Christ you not only are declared righteous, but in your spirit you are made righteous before God and in your inmost being thereby you are able to love and live like Christ.

    Everybody wants to be right don’t they? In fact, if the truth were to be known, most of us want to be right all the time. Just yesterday Kathy showed me a magazine ad of a framed saying that sums up what I’m saying. It went this way, “I may be left-handed, but I’m always RIGHT.” Most people are ...read more

    Presenting The Gospel With Discernment Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 27, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,198 views

    This portion of Matthew is one of the most misquoted and misunderstood parts of the Bible. Jesus isn’t talking about political correctness but about correctly presenting the story of sin and salvation.

    What’s your approach in sharing the gospel? There are probably as many ways of doing it as there are people—mostly because Jesus told us to be His “witnesses.” A witness tells what they experienced. Preaching the gospel—the second of the two reasons for our existence as Christians here on ...read more

    In this message we see Paul’s philosophy of ministry and are challenged to adopt it as our own.

    “Where I’m Coming From” Today is the first Sunday of the year 2002. Happy New Year! My guess is that you have probably heard those 3 words a lot recently… And I am also sure that you heard those very same words back at the beginning of 2001. Just a few days ago, millions of people ...read more
