    Parable Of The Perfect Father

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 18, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 24,013 views

    Jesus' Parable of the Prodigal Son teaches us how to treat others: with freemdom to make mistakes, with forgiveness in second chances, and with favor out of unconditional love. God is the perfect Father, showing us all three. (Father's Day message)

    Luke 15:11-32 Parable of the Perfect Father Today’s story is probably my favorite in the Bible. I’ve shared it with you before, but never in the context of Father’s Day. Since the real hero of the story is the father, I thought it might be a good story to look at today. Let’s consider some gifts ...read more

    The Makings Of A Good Dad

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jun 19, 2017
     | 12,699 views

    For Mother's Day my sermon was, "The Makings of A Good Mom" so it's only fitting that I do the same for Father's Day. Quote: "It only takes a minute to be a father but it takes a lifetime to be a dad." What are some things that make a good dad?

    THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD DAD Contrast between TV dads of the 50's and those of today. Back then Dad was portrayed as the leader, the guider; he was admired. Today, dads are portrayed as inept, clueless and irresponsible. Modern-day TV oftentimes portrays the dad as being more like an additional ...read more

    Part 5 of the Sermon Series, "God of Elisha"

    The cluster of miracles of Elijah and Elisha serve several purposes. One is to show Israel that Yahweh remains faithful to Israel even after her exile to Babylon. The other is to show Israel that despite the godlessness of her kings, Yahweh remains gracious and merciful in difficult times. The ...read more

    What Is God Waiting On?

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 7, 2017
    based on 2 ratings
     | 36,687 views

    One of the hardest things to do is wait on God. But what if God is waiting on you? This message pivots off of Isaiah 30:18 and explores that possibilities and its implications for us.

    Isaiah 30 12/7/14 During the last few months I have been waiting on the Lord for some things. And to be honest with you, I have felt frustrated that answers were not coming more quickly. I know God is omnipotent—so if the answer is not coming, it’s not because He’s unable to do it. The problem is ...read more

    Foundational Guidance (Part 3) Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 18, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,610 views

    Christians sometimes wonder why they experience trials and corrections while the ungodly seem to prosper. This is examined in the light of Psalm 73.

    Psalm 73 3/20/16 Intro For the last two weeks we have talked about “Foundational Guidance,” those things we do regardless of circumstances, “come what may.” We took our first message from Micah 6:8 where God tells us to (1) do justly (2) to love mercy (3) and walk humbly with your God.

    How To Get Free From A Stubborn Habit

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 18, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,968 views

    Many sincere Christians are caught in a trap. They have a habit that is extremely hard to change, perhaps an addiction. This message talks about what it takes to break free.

    John 10:10 6/19/16 Intro Jesus said (in John 10:10), “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (NIV).1 God’s purpose for every child of God is that we would live a rich, full, rewarding life.

    Who Is Lying At Your Gate

     | 6,505 views

    We each are responsible for someone. We must take care to make sure we are investing the proper type of influence into each life we touch.

    Who Is Lying At Your Gate? St. Luke 16:19-22 The word used here in verse number 20 is laid: this comes from the Greek word ballo. This literally means to throw down or cast down as dung or to thrust down. There was a certain beggar named Lazarus- His name is mentioned because his character was ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the story of the prodigal son from the eyes of the father. Later it reminds us of the heart of our Heavenly Father as He receives and forgives those who return home to Him. It's part of the Conversational Evangelism Series.

    Luke 15:11-32 INTRODUCTION ¥ The Pharisee’s were finding fault with Jesus because He received and ate with sinners. - "This man receives sinners and eats with them." - Lk 15:2 ¥ Jesus responded with three parables: His response? 1.

    A Sermon that looks at the importance of Giving God the Glory and being thankful.

    Psalm 118New International Version (NIV) Psalm 118 1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 2 Let Israel say: “His love endures forever.” 3 Let the house of Aaron say: “His love endures forever.” 4 Let those who fear the LORD say: “His love endures ...read more

    Distinguished By Gratitude: The Instinct Of Thanksgiving Series

    Contributed by Christabel N. Onuoha on Aug 19, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,450 views

    The enemy of exceptionality is ordinary. Ordinary people never go beyond the common denominator. This is the story of how thanksgiving distinguished a leper, making him exceptional. Thanksgiving comes naturally or instinctively to those who know how to think. This is the instinct of thanksgiving.

    This is the story of how thanksgiving and gratitude can make you exceptional in the midst of ordinary. It is the story of the ten lepers who Jesus healed on His long and arduous journey to Jerusalem. It is critical to note the writer of this scriptural narrative, the timing of the event and ...read more

    Slave Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 29, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,866 views

    In this overlooked parable Jesus describes the life of discipleship in terms of service. Rather than focusing on our rights and needs, and deciding what we'd like to do, we need to focus on how we can serve our Master.

    This has been called “the most troubling parable” in the Bible. Why does Jesus say we are like unworthy servants? I know I must have read this before, but somehow I glossed over it. I've got a lot of books on the parables of Jesus and most omit this one. A year ago an article in ...read more

    What The Hell Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 31, 2016
     | 6,407 views

    This sermon looks at the question: How can a loving God send people to hell?

    Long before I knew about God’s grace I knew about Gods’ wrath. Long before I had encountered a loving God I knew about the fires of hell. Some of those images came from culture and some came from art. All in all I think I prefer Larson to Michelangelo, but I’m that kind of ...read more

    This message is about financial freedom and how you can achieve it no matter how you’ve handled your money in the past. God wants all of us to experience financial freedom from debt, where you are liberated from anxiety

    The dramatic story of 66730 and how she forgave her tormentors. The 3 top arguments of those who say they can't forgive and the rationales to disarm those arguments.
