Stewardship: Taking Care of God’s Possessions Matthew 25:14-30 The Bible makes it clear saying that everything in heaven and on earth belongs to God. “Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the Lord your God, also the earth with all that is in it.” (Deuteronomy 10:14 NKJV) “The heavens ...read more

Living In A Strange Land Series

Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 31, 2018

Living in a Strange Land—Genesis 46:31—47:31 If you have kids, you know the feeling. Saying goodbye on the first day of kindergarten. Dropping them off at college, and then finally forcing yourself to leave the campus. Praying for them as they move into their first job, or their own home. ...read more

Becoming A Difference Maker

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 2, 2016

This sermon looks at how we can make a positive difference in our communities for Christ. We look at things that we can do 1) Change our thinking (Confession and Repentance). 2) Meet the needs of others, and 3) Share the Gospel message.

Have Faith And Pray

Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015

Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more

When Slick Got Caught (May 2013).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

The parable of the unjust steward (Luke 16:1-13) is a parable that has been awkward for some to understand. It is awkward because, it seems, that the unjust steward gets rewarded for his crookedness. It was about grace when we don't deserve it.

Should You Be Forgiven...should You Forgive...

Contributed by Lorraine Greeff on Mar 6, 2021

Many of us like to hold a grudge against people we feel wronged us, God hates sin, so should we.

However, it hardly happens like that and many excuses we use to continue in our bitterness, our anger, our desire to ...read more

Preserved, Not Pickled

He said, “When I go to bed, I can’t sleep because I’m afraid of monsters under my bed. I know it’s silly, but I can’t help it.” 2. His preacher recommended prayer, ...read more
