  • Taking Laughter Seriously Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021
     | 2,568 views

    Drain your life of humor, and it is like draining your car of oil. You will not get far before you lose power and lock up the engine. Laughter keeps the engine of life running smooth. It allows us to keep making progress down the road to God's goals.

    Tom Mullen begins his book, Laughing Out Loud and Other Religious Experiences with this story. An engineer, a psychologist, and a theologian were hunting in the wilds of Northern Canada. They came across a isolated cabin, and decided to check it out. When no one answered their knocks, they tried ...read more

     | 1,931 views

    Only the gospel can make sense of the human heart, only Jesus can meet humanity’s deepest needs, only life in Jesus can provide unrivaled hope and joy.

    Last week, we spoke about how Jesus appeared to His disciples after the resurrection, when they were gathered behind locked doors. In the midst of their fear and anxiety, Jesus told the disciples not to be afraid, revealing himself to them and assuring them that He is alive and well. However, not ...read more

     | 16,987 views

    The situation around the coronavirus gives us a greater understanding of how the disciples must have felt on Easter Sunday. Just as Jesus' arrival brought about a change for them he brings a change to us today.

    A Change Is Coming, Jesus’s Resurrection Is Greater Than COVID-19 4/12/2020 John 1:1-20 1. Corinthians 15:1-8 Change is something that happens to everybody. We can have things going our way one moment, and wondering what on earth happened the next. Some changes that come our way, we do ...read more

    John 8:1-11 (p. 746) June 1, 2014 Introduction: At the end of their first date, a young man takes the girl back to her home.

  • The Way Of Life

    Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on May 3, 2011
     | 4,732 views

    Are we living in the sunlight with Jesus or are we still stuck in a place of death?

    The Way of Life Easter Sunday, Apr 24, 2011 Intro: Who would ever have dreamt that the place to find life was at a tomb? A tomb is not a place of life, it is a place of death. A place where people we loved and who have died are buried. I’ve stood at many gravesides, and they are solemn, ...read more

  • Stay

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Sep 10, 2003
    based on 45 ratings
     | 15,478 views

    You need to stay in the mess you are in just a little while longer until God makes you ruler over that mess.

    “STAY” John 20:19 Luke 24:46 – 49 Acts2: 2 I know someone might say STAY, that’s a command you give a dog. Understand it’s not so much the command that is important, but the obedience to that command, which bears the responsibility of the command. In other words, it’s not what you say, but ...read more

  • On Being Filled With The Spirit

    based on 114 ratings
     | 7,880 views

    Having the Holy Spirit is not the same as being FILLED with the Holy Spirit.

    On Being Filled with the Spirit Ephesians 5:18-21 It is safe to assume that everyone here today has indoor plumbing. If we want a glass of water, it is simply a matter of taking a glass, placing it under the faucet, and turning on the water. The water is available for us. It is simply a matter of ...read more

    A message promoting evangelism and invitation

    Elements of this sermon were taken from K. Edward Skidmore’s sermon "Evangelism 2 Tell A Friend" found here on Sermoncentral (http://sermoncentral.com/sermon.asp?SermonID=88617) A CHURCHY FOCUS -I took all my sciences in high school, and one of the things we learned were the Laws of ...read more

  • Thomas The Doubter Series

    Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2021
     | 5,718 views

    Thomas got tagged as the doubter because of his one experience. On this basis he gained a reputation as if he was a skeptic. The fact is we have as much evidence on record as we need to call him Thomas the dedicated defender.

    Sometimes popular ideas about biblical characters are so accepted that one is compelled to go along with them almost as if they were inspired, but they are often arbitrary and superficial. No one ever calls John the Baptist John the doubter, yet his experience of doubt was far more serious than ...read more

  • Ask, Seek, And Knock

    based on 1 rating
     | 7,380 views

    Jesus encourages us to pray regularly and faithfully. Why? How?

    8.18.19 Luke 11:6-13 “Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, 6 because a friend of mine who is on a journey has come to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’ 7 And the one inside replies, ‘Don’t ...read more

  • Rolling Stones

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,311 views

    One of major problems most people face today are blocked entrances or exits. You see, we’re caught in tombs with stones covering them, and these stones keep us from entering the light of an abundant life Jesus came to give, which is what the resurrection of Jesus is all about.

    Rolling Stones Mark 16:1-8 Now, I knew the danger of naming today’s study, “Rolling Stones,” because many of you immediately thought of the English rock band by the same name with Mick Jagger and the crew. Or maybe you also thought about the monthly magazine from the 60’s whose focus was ...read more

  • The Ascension Series

    It was reported by official Soviet channels upon their entry into space in 1961 that the Russian Cosmonaut who first traveled into space said these words: “I went up to space, but I didn’t encounter God.”

    Jesus stayed on the earth for forty days after His resurrection. Now, forty days is a long time. If Jesus rose on March 27, this would place His ascension from earth on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo). America has holidays that mark the birth of Jesus (Christmas), the death of Jesus (Good Friday), and the ...read more

    why we are the church here today

    Church 101: What the church is good for. John 20:19-23 Last Monday, I had the opportunity to visit Westminster Abbey out in Mission. It is situated in a beautiful location, high atop a hill. And the steeple of the building, it soared to the skies and when you walk in you are quickly impressed by ...read more

  • Thomas, A True Disciple

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 4, 2014
    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,850 views

    A message that tries to connect the dots in Thomas' experience of moving from doubt to faith in Christ after the Resurrection.

    I want to extend a special welcome to those here today who have questions, who have doubts about some or all of the things that have gone on so far in today’s gathering. You see, most of what happens in a worship service, at any church, is really for the already-convinced. We sing songs that ...read more

  • Easter Matters

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 13, 2020
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,700 views

    One of the results of the resurrection is we no longer have to live in fear. We could say it like this: When in dread, remember Jesus rose from the dead; He will come near when we are quarantined with fear!

    Easter Matters John 20:19-22 Rev. Brian Bill April 11-12, 2020 The very first Easter did not take place in a crowded worship space filled with singing and praising. On the very first Easter the disciples were locked in a house. Instead of sheltering in place, they were shaking in place. ...read more
