A Life Of Dedication Series

Contributed by Michael French on Mar 18, 2008

Christians need to understand the importance of a consistent, daily routine of personal prayer.

Consider the following words: dedication, commitment, devotion.

The Sower: The Flower Approach To Life Well Lived

Contributed by Dustin Bumgarner on Aug 13, 2014

Jesus told the Parable about the Sower (or Farmer, as I've written throughout). This sermon displays a unique approach to that parable, along with a special acronym of FLOWER. We must use the FLOWER method in our everyday walk with God.

Intro: How many people here have gone to the local Farmer’s Market to get you some fresh produce? Imagine taking a bite out of a sweet, juicy watermelon. In order to bring that fresh watermelon to you, the farmer or grower would have to do some digging (pun intended) to find out the perfect ...read more

Today Is A Good Day To Die

Contributed by Ken Henson on Apr 21, 2019

Almost every time the Bible refers to the Resurrection of Jesus, it refers to our call to follow Him to the cross. Without death there is no resurrection. Jesus bids us "come, and die".

I’ll confess, I’m a Star Trek fan, And there is a species in the series that is very focused on warrior virtues. Any episode where there is a battle, and there seems to be a likelihood of ...read more
