    Getting Through The Struggle

    From the model of Job, we discover some principles about "getting through" the difficulties of life. (Warren Wiersbe contributes much to this message)

    GETTING THROUGH THE STRUGGLE Job 1:20-22 * These past couple of weeks have been weeks of fiscal struggle in our nation and arguably in the world. It would seem that every fiscal pillar of this world has now been threatened. Like it or not savings, investments, retirements, real estate, and much ...read more

    The Book Of Lamentations – Part 37 – We Look At The Crimes Of Edom; Their Evil Against Israel - Chapter 4:20-22 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Sep 4, 2025
     | 211 views

    With Israel’s defeat, all means were used against them in the name of hate. Ambushes and murder from Edom was despicable. God had not overlooked it. The end of Chapter 4 has Edom in God’s sights so the evil done to Israel will come hard on their own heads.

    THE BOOK OF LAMENTATIONS – PART 37 – WE LOOK AT THE CRIMES OF EDOM; THEIR EVIL AGAINST ISRAEL - CHAPTER 4:20-22 This is the last of the descriptions of the plight of the refugees. Their lot was a very sad one indeed. Verses 17 to 20 are a set of four that look at the awful conditions of the ...read more

    The Apostle Paul gives us a "Real Life" view of the finish line-his finish line. Have we ever considered what our finish line will look like?

    A View From the Finish Line Text: 2nd Timothy, Chapter 4 Introduction. In the last few years, Schools have made an effort to move the classroom out of the classroom. They have concluded that sometimes you’re better able to educate a student by moving them into different environments in the ...read more

    A look at the future for Christians

    The Future Cross "How do you describe both a beginning and an end? We should have known better, but we didn't. What does it matter what we think we know, in the end there's no denying the truth."

    The Dreams Of A Community Series

    Contributed by Josh Reich on Feb 13, 2007
    based on 8 ratings
     | 4,138 views

    This is part 1 of my 5 week series on what the church needs to look like in the emerging culture. This looks specifically at what the early church looked like, and what those practices can look like in our world.

    If you have your bibles, you can open them to Acts 2. We are starting a 5 week series today called an elemental church. This is an exciting series for me, because I hope at the end of the 5 weeks, you will have a better idea about how I think about church. Some of my hopes and dreams for us as a ...read more

    Sermon # 16 - Overcoming Fears Of The Present Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Apr 30, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 474 views

    There are so many who are gripped with all sorts of fears, and only the Lord Jesus can help us overcome these fears. Anyone who puts their faith in Jesus will conquer every fear and live a victorious life.

    We read in Luke 21:26, “men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.” (YLT) The disciples of Jesus enquired of Him as to what would be the signs that the end of days was close at hand. Jesus went on to explain in ...read more

    Separating Sheep From Goats Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Nov 29, 2023
    based on 4 ratings
     | 1,116 views

    This sermon explores the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in Matthew's gospel, suggesting that it represents not the "End Times" but the inauguration of the Kingdom of God through Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension.

    Much has been written on the phrase “Son of Man,” since it is Jesus’s primary self-designation in the Synoptic Gospels — 30 times in Matthew, 14 in Mark, 25 in Luke. But it is even prominent in John — where Jesus uses other self-designations, most notably the “I am” sayings — appearing 13 times in ...read more

    I’m sure we all know the joke about how many social workers it takes to change a light bulb. It only takes one, of course, but the light bulb has got to want to change.

    Not Our Way, But God’s Way

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,736 views

    Though the Lord had led them out of perilous situations, and taken care of all their needs, the Israelites were still hesitant to trust in the Lord wholeheartedly. While Moses kept the promise of God at the forefront the people kept themselves ahead of everything else.

    For today’s meditation we will read Deuteronomy 1:21, “See, the LORD your God has set the land before you. Go up, take possession, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has told you. Do not fear or be dismayed.'” (ESV) These were the words of Moses to the people of Israel. When the Lord ...read more

    When Will Jesus Return Again? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

     | 5,964 views

    Jesus’ Second Coming is rich news to those who are hurting. All the pain and suffering of our lives will not last forever. As one pastor recently said, “The promise of the second coming shows us the ‘good ole days are always ahead of us.”

    Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … in the next couple of services, the ...read more
