Contributed by Denn Guptill on Mar 7, 2021

This is the first of four messages looking at the Parable of the Foolish Rich Man. It was part of our annual Money Month

When you think of a treasure, what crosses your mind? Perhaps something buried by a pirate?

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jun 24, 2020

Mind Your Own Business!

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Oct 11, 2020

If we decide to get involved in another person's business, chances are we will be told to mind our own business. In some cases we should do that but there are other situations when it's appropriate to not mind our own business.

"MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!" A few weeks ago, I did a sermon on opinions. My first point was about people who are opinionated. I talked about those who interject themselves into conversations they weren't invited in to offer their unsolicited opinion. When we do things like that, people ...read more

The Rate Of Exchange

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 10, 2021

Jesus made it clear that you can gain everything the world has to offer, but it rusts, wears out, turns to dust, and you cannot take it with you after you die. If you lose your soul, however, you lose your life for eternity.

Humanity in its natural state really does not place much value on life, preferring to love death (Proverbs 8:36) in the form of abortions, murders, manslaughter, varied stages and types of physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and a placing on some individuals and groups a stigma of ...read more

03 - Life Series

Contributed by Michael Collins on Aug 23, 2021

This is the 3rd message in a series called Perspectives and this message is about looking at life with God's perspective, rather than with our own.

Hello and welcome back to another message on ‘Perspectives!’ This is the third message, and today I am dealing with the topic of ‘life’ itself.

Selling Out To God Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 20, 2021

Jesus's Parable of Hidden Treasure teaches all-out commitment to the kingdom of God. Christianity is not a little add-on to our busy, selfish life. It is a call to something so valuable that we would give up everything else to have it.

Last week we began a message entitled “Valuing the Valuable.” That teaching led us to the Parable of the Treasure in Matthew 13:44. That is our text for today. There Jesus said, “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 31, 2021

This is the first of a series of messages centering on the sermon that the Apostle Paul gave before the groups of philosophers in Athens, and how it is a perfect model for Biblical apologetics and evangelism.

People today tend to sidestep, ignore, deter, apologize for and question the concept of reality in a world which gladly embraces the concept that reality, truth, and fact are not absolute but just a matter of opinion, experience, or personal interpretation. We have become terrified of the ...read more
