  • It’s Worth The Cost

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 27, 2022
     | 3,475 views

    If we are truly going to be Jesus’ disciple, there will be a cost involved. And for those willing to make that sacrifice, God will be able to pour out His power and glory through that person.

    Please turn with me to Luke 14. Sometimes when I say the word “Luke” I want to go all Star Wars! L-U-K-E. (Laughter) The more I spend time in the gospels, the more I see that what Jesus asks of us, He has already had to do Himself. When Jesus taught what He taught, He not only spoke from a ...read more

     | 1,968 views

    Many Christians don’t think it matters much if they allow a few sinful activities in their lives. The truth is, the failure to surrender ALL changes the entire fabric of what your life looks like in the spiritual realm.

    CONSTRUCTION ZONE OR WAR ZONE? Lk. 14:33 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR You need 3 things to succeed in life: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone. Tonight we’re going to be talking about having a backbone! B. TEXT “So then, any of you who does not forsake (renounce, surrender claim to, give up, say ...read more

     | 1,491 views

    Will you wash your hands of Jesus or will you claim Him as your Savior? Will you trade Him for what the world has to offer, or will you trade the world and everything to be His disciple today? This is a Palm Sunday sermon or one good for Holy Week.

    It isn’t easy to follow Christ. There are costs and benefits. Today, we examine the price we pay to follow Jesus.

     | 2,243 views

    A salesman was telling some folks he got a job as a salesman. They provided him with a kit where he could go into people’s homes with products and show them some of the products this company sold.

    Basically this is what the Lord Jesus has done. He has given us the gospel of Christ to take into the homes of people and show them what the Lord can do for them if they will accept Him. The gospel of Christ is all that God has given to the church to reach a lost world. But there are some who ...read more

     | 2,459 views

    Sometimes we hear folks in the church say, “What happened to ( ) who used to attend Church here?”

    Sometimes when this question is being asked, it is being implied that perhaps something is wrong with the church. Listen, there are some folks who left churches and I believe they were justified in doing so. But there are times when people will ask, “What happened to ( ),” and it has ...read more

    Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,745 views

    “Shall Your Brothers Go To War While You Sit Here?” In other words, will other Christians pay the price while we are secret disciples? Will others witness while we keep silent? Will others work in the church while we just obtain the benefits?

    SHALL YOUR BROTHERS GO TO WAR WHILE YOU SIT HERE? Numbers 32:1-15 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A man & woman were married for many years. Whenever there was a confrontation, yelling could be heard deep into the night. The old man would shout, “When I die, I will dig my way up & out of the ...read more

His stories were frequently built around an average citizen who sees or hears something that he should not have. He then becomes caught up ...read more

  • Jesus And Giving Series

    Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 11, 2020
     | 2,959 views

    Today we will turn to examine what Jesus had to say about giving. And we will ask what giving looked like to Jesus. The passage in Luke 14:15-33 is considered one of the "Hard Sayings of Jesus". And indeed, it takes a bit of explanation to make sense of it.

    Jesus and Giving Text: Luke 14:15-33 Luke 14:25-33 (NIV) 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters--yes, even his own life--he cannot be my ...read more
