1 Secret Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Feb 5, 2013

We can find the “1 Secret” to contentment for:1) A Contented Person Is Satisfied with Little (Phil. 4:11), 2) A Contented Person Is Independent from Circumstances (Phil. 4:12) and, 3) A Contented Person Is Strengthened by Divine Power (Phil. 4:13)

Philippians 4:11-13. [11] Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. [12] I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. [13] ...read more

It’s Too Stuffy…. Series

Contributed by Bala Samson on May 17, 2013

As a little boy my son who has heard about heaven and hell and how ‘only’ Jesus is the way to Heaven would ask me each time he saw a huge group of non-Christians, ‘would they go to heaven or hell?’

It’s too stuffy…. Luke 13:24"Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. As a little boy my son who has heard about heaven and hell and how ‘only’ Jesus is the way to Heaven would ask me each time he saw a huge ...read more

How Many Did You Say, Was Coming To Dinner?

Contributed by Charlie Roberts on Nov 20, 2011

If we are Christians and were not thankful, what kind of a message does that send to all those who don’t know the Lord? We should be the happiest people on earth, we have been given so much and been asked to give so little in return.

God's Unmerited Favor

Contributed by Thomas Clawser on Feb 11, 2019

What role did you play in God’s plan last year? Is Christ happy with your commitment to his church; did you strive to reach your potential in him or did you coast along doing as little as possible, hoping something good will happen?

Why Me Lord?

Contributed by Dale Carter Sr. on Oct 21, 2022

God never promised us a rose garden nor will all of our days be filled with sunshine, there’ll be a little rain sometimes. But nonetheless God has prepared the path and left us a map and instructions as to how to run, walk or stand as we proceed on our journey.

Intro: I pray that today’s message will be ammunition to help you gain the advantage of the battle in life which we all will have to combat someday. Signs of that day may appear all around us. We may hear warnings from the pulpit or when we read God’s Word, or it may come as a complete surprise. ...read more

Whom Will You Meet In Heaven? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 7, 2022

There is so much speculation about heaven but we have very little to go on in the word. People express the hope of heaven being a reunion and we look at that. Whom do you want to meet in heaven? That is what we will consider here. Heaven could be very close.

Whom will YOU meet in heaven? INTRODUCTION Talk to Christians about heaven and what that will be like, and you have so many variant answers. That is normal, for none of us knows any details and a lot of what we think is more in line with our own assumptions. What will you do there? Will we ...read more

The Refining Fire Of God

Contributed by Rodney Fry on May 29, 2022

Have you ever heard of a “promise box”? They were once very popular among Christian people. They were little boxes containing rolled up verses of Scripture, and each verse contained a promise of God which you could select and think about during the day.

The Refining Fire of God Scripture: Malachi 4:1–3, especially verse 2 But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves.

This Is The Day Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

There is little we can give to God that is not a returning to Him of what He has already given to us. Time and substance are God's gifts to us. Thanksgiving, however, is a product of our own will, and to give God thanks is to give something that is uniquely our own.

The Feast Of Weeks.

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 4, 2025

When I was a small boy growing up in England, Whit (or 'White') Sunday was a time when the girls put on new Summer frocks, and the boy wore a new suit. I knew little about Pentecost, but nothing at all about the Feast of Weeks.

THE FEAST OF WEEKS. Deuteronomy 16:9-12. At first glance the Feast of Weeks appears to be a purely agricultural festival (DEUTERONOMY 16:9-10), an offering of firstfruits to the LORD (cf. Exodus 23:16a; Exodus 34:22a). The timing of the Feast of Weeks is seven weeks and a day (in other words ...read more

Having Confidence When We Are Fearful

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 7, 2022

What do we do when the ugly little head of fear begins to creep into our lives? What is it that causes you fear? An example of Abram's life shows us what we should do and what we shouldn't do.

Fear. Whether we want to admit it or not, fear is something that we have to wrestle with. The fear of standing on the ladder that's two stories high. Fear of a spider crawling on your skin. The fear of snakes. The fear of standing on a stage with the spotlight beaming on you. The fear of ...read more

Which Jesus Do You Have?

Contributed by Graham Kettle on Feb 22, 2024

The world sees Jesus as a good teacher, but someone who has little call on anyone’s life. There is no personal cost to this Jesus, no relationship. He often is only a genie that they demand when things go wrong. Our question is, "Who is my Jesus?"

WHICH JESUS DO YOU HAVE? John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Let us look at some different views of Jesus and see how our view fits. 1. THE WORLD The world sees Jesus as a good teacher and a good example based ...read more

Mud Sitting

Contributed by Loyd C. Taylor on Feb 23, 2024

I used this sermon for our "Friend Sunday." My main text was Proverbs 18:24, although I used several other texts as time permitted. After a little humor, and prayer I told the illustration about "Mud-sitting."
