God’s Unconventional Reach

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Sep 14, 2019

Jesus shares three stories to show how much every person matters to God. Jesus calls us to repent and return to him, love people he loves, and celebrate with heaven when lost people are found.

Luke 15:1-10 God’s Unconventional Reach Have you ever lost anything? It’s really irritating, isn’t it? Losing car keys, losing your wallet, losing your cell phone. They make devices to ping all these things, but I’m sure I would probably lose that, too! Luke chapter 15 is all about lost things, ...read more

Show Grace To Mean, Evil People (Titus 3:1-8) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Nov 10, 2022

Titus 3:4-5 are rightly celebrated, but in a way that usually misses Paul's point. Show grace to mean people, recognizing that those people are like you used to be, before God washed you and gave you his Spirit.

Last week, in Paul's letter to Titus, chapter 2, we read how Paul told Titus to set up the church, and the families within the church, to look like the ideal first century Roman household. Especially when you're a fringe religious group, but probably always, it's important to live in a ...read more

First Love

Contributed by Dewayne Bolton on Jun 21, 2012

Often people become so involved in good and ligitimate things that they allow themselve to be pulled away for what is really their first love. It is intended to help us be careful lest we like the Ephesian church leave our first love thus loose it.

REVELATION 2:1-5 FIRST LOVE INTRO: A. John had been banished to the Island of Patmos and while there he was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit while worshipping God. a. Being overshadowed by the Holy Spirit he was shown thing which must shortly take place. b. I do not have time to elaborate on those ...read more

But For The Love Of God

Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Jul 18, 2020

We often hear people says "For the love of God....." when they are expressing frustrations. In this message I hope to convince Christians that this statement should never be made in frustration, but with a sense of awe as we reflect on God's love for us.

But For The Love Of God Scriptures: John 3:16; Matthew 4:8-10; 1 Timothy 2:3-4 The last time that I spoke to you I delivered a message about knowing THE Name. The name everyone will bow to and confess is THE Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. In that message I stressed the importance and ...read more

Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more
