    A Welcome Change In Government Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022
     | 2,509 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more

    Jesus' Credentials Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 10, 2021
     | 2,576 views

    Jesus’ identity is shown as we research Jesus’ family tree. And Jesus’ identity is shown as we see Him fend off Satan’s attacks - the very attacks that were driven to distort Jesus’ special identity.

    We continue a series entitled, The Man Who Won’t Go Away, this morning. Normally when someone dies, their impact on the world immediately begins to recede. Over the past few days, Baltimore Oriole manager, Earl Weaver died. As did advice columnist “Dear Abby.” If someone’s legacy will outlast their ...read more

    Guarding Against Deception Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 7, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,184 views

    Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for deceptive people; those who creep into the fold to snatch away our vision, and plunder our hard-earned spoils in an act of spiritual piracy.

    Once we cast a vision and begin laying hold of the Promised Land, we need to watch out for dream catchers! Now, when I speak of dream catchers, I am not referring to the round wooden frame resembling a spider’s web, which was handcrafted by the Ojibwa tribe of Native Americans for the purpose of ...read more

    Staying The Course Series

     | 6,277 views

    We might presently feel like we’ve been fighting for our Promised Land a long time. Fighting will wear us out and lead to discouragement. Battle is not a pretty sight, and as we tire of spiritual confrontation, we might be tempted to give up.

    Last week we saw how becoming tired of incessant battle can lead to becoming impatient and attempting to rush what God is wanting to do in His way and His timing. It can also lead a person to feeling defeated and abandoning the fight. David boldly declared in Psalm 119, “I will run the course of ...read more

    My Hope Is Built On…

     | 2,319 views

    Many times folks will go to the doctor because they know something is wrong, but they do not know what the problem is.

    So they make an appointment with the doctor, and the first thing the doctor asks them is, “What’s wrong?” The reason they made an appointment to visit his office was to find out what was wrong, and here he is, asking them what is wrong. Illus: A man told his doctor that he did not know what was ...read more

    Love Not The World

    It is a curious thing to live IN the world yet not be OF the world.

    Love Not the World We are Just Passing Through Down Here We all know that we are not going to be in this world all that much longer. The end is fast approaching and, knowing the signs, no one knows that better than Christians who walk closely with the Lord. Many of us have emailed back and ...read more

    Mourning To Morning: Yes—it’s Ok

    Contributed by David Dunn on Sep 5, 2025
     | 350 views

    Life leaves us with memories—some warm us, and some wound us. If we spend our time looking back, we risk missing the new thing God is doing right in us.

    — THE PROBLEM: WHY WE KEEP LOOKING BACK Life leaves us with memories. Some of them warm us. Some of them wound us. And some of them quietly shape us long after the moment has passed. Most of us don’t notice how much time we spend replaying our lives. We replay conversations we wish had gone ...read more

    Serve One Another Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 30, 2023
     | 3,703 views

    One of the best ways for us to love one another is to serve one another. Christ has set us free so that we can serve. Jesus is our greatest example of how to be a servant. There is always some way and someone we can serve.

    Introduction: A. I read about a minister who was organizing opportunities for people in his church to do small acts of kindness in the community as a demonstration of Christ’s love. 1. He phoned several neighborhood grocery stores and asked for permission to serve their customers. 2. As he talked ...read more

     | 2,335 views

    In July of 1776, our founding fathers & 56 men of faith & courage signed "The Declaration of Independence". On that day, those 56 signers pledged their lives, their fortunes, & their sacred honor to birth the land of the free & the home of the brave.

    What was America like in July of 1776? As our founding fathers and 56 men of faith and courage signed their names to "The Declaration of Independence," it was considered to be their death certificate, because king George most assuredly would have killed every one of them had they won the ...read more

    Giving generously, beyond a tithe, is promoted by Jesus. In fact, He absolutely promises that if we give generously we will receive abundantly, even beyond measure.

    In this introduction to the series, we discuss what idolatry is and how it is still a problem in our modern times.

    A. Can you guess what is the number one problem in the Bible? 1. It is the problem that more than 1,000 verses speak of? a. It is the problem that more than 50 of the laws in the first five books of the Bible are directed against. b. In Judaism it was one of only four sins to which the death ...read more

     | 124 views

    Jesus calls every believer to courageous, surrendered living—trusting His authority, presence, and purpose—as we share His love and message in our everyday lives.

    Some of us came in today with a smile that hides a sigh. Some with questions that keep us awake. Some with a to-do list longer than a river. And yet, here we are, gathered under the gentle reign of the risen Christ, the One who meets us in our Mondays and our midnights. He knows the names on your ...read more
