    Who Are The Lost? Series

     | 5,849 views

    How does God see the lost of this world? Do we see the lost the same way or are we like the Pharisees and Scribes and shun the lost?

    Our New sermon series is entitled, “The Ends of the Earth,” an obvious reference to Acts 1:8. Acts 1:8 (NKJV) But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” For the ...read more

    The Search

    Though every situation is different, God wants the lost to be found; your burden is not yours alone. This message is to encourage those of us burdened for lost or straying family and dear friends.

    The Search (Luke 15:1-10; Psalm 139:7-12) 1. C Ryle writes this: We may use all means, by but we cannot command success. We may teach, but we cannot convert. We may show those around us the bread and water of life, but we cannot make them eat and drink it. We may point out the way to eternal ...read more

    the Scribes and Pharisees were confused as to why Jesus spent so much time with Tax Collectors and Sinners! Jesus came to seek and save the lost and that mission is ongoing! Praise His Name!!!

    I’m Looking For You Please stand as we read our newest memory Scripture together … John 14:23-24 “Jesus said, ‘If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make our home with him. “He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These ...read more

    There is a story of a man who was driving along the highway. Along the way he hits a big bump and hears a clang, but he ignores it and keeps on driving.

    All of Heaven rejoices with us in our relationship with God - no matter what we have done or failed to do in this life

    "Tell me a Story” is a simple and shorter way to reference Jesus' use of parables. A parable is a relatable way to share a moral or spiritual lesson. While some don’t like parables because they don’t get right to the point. Others love a good story because it forces us to think and ...read more

    The God of the Universe dances and sings over His people

    September 04, 2021 Zephaniah’s prophetic ministry took place during the reign of Josiah, the last king to bring revival (641-609) in Judah. There is quite a bit of bad news in Zephaniah – more than 2/3 of the book is filled with woes and warnings – The Day of the Lord is coming! First to ...read more

    We may travel different routes to control our future but both paths end with us needing God in our lives. The Parable of the two sons and a loving father.

    A Tale Of Two Sons 11/7/2021 Psalm 14:1-7 Luke 15:1-32 Suppose for a moment that you could write all the rules for your own life. Nobody could tell you what to do. You were in complete control without having to be concerned with what God thinks. Do you think your life would be ...read more

    Historia de dos hijos: los hijos pródigos 7/11/2021 Salmo 14: 1-7 Lucas 15: 1-32 Suponga por un momento que puede escribir todas las reglas de su propia vida. Nadie podría decirte qué hacer. Tenías el control total sin tener que preocuparte por lo que Dios piensa. ...read more

    This parable is special, because it tells us a great deal about God the Father’s great love for mankind.

    Now we mortals love certain people, but if there are things in their life that we do not like, we generally brush them aside. We all can be thankful indeed that God the Father loves everyone, He even loves the most ungodly sinner on the face of the earth. He does not love their evil deeds, but He ...read more

    Inviting Who We Know

    Perhaps some of us are feeling inadequate to do something for the kingdom. We can start by getting people to attend church. All it takes is to think of someone we know, and then to invite that individual to join us. It's that simple!

    This morning I wish to address a question that many believers have, and that is “How do we get people to come to church?” First of all, it is important for us to realize something I once saw stated on a church sign. Where the pastor’s name is normally listed, someone had posted this: “Minister: ...read more

    Welcoming The Repentant Sinners (September 8, 2013)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 1,818 views

    Do we rejoice with God and the angels of heaven every time another sinner repents? In Luke 15 , Jesus tells three parables and all three parables end with a celebration. But, not everyone comes to the celebration.

    Luke 15:1-10 GNB One day when many tax collectors and other outcasts came to listen to Jesus, (2) the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law started grumbling, "This man welcomes outcasts and even eats with them!" (3) So Jesus told them this parable: (4) "Suppose one of you has ...read more

    Jesus associates with sinners and EVEN EATS with them!!!

    February 20, 2021 The Context: Tax Collectors and other "sinners" wanted to be around Jesus and listen to what He had to say. Pharisees and Teachers of the Law also gathered around Jesus, but for a very different reason – He was dangerous. On one particular occasion, Jesus, Tax ...read more

    Our God is a Loving Father! What is God really like? Some people think the most important question of life is “Do you believe in God?” But a more important question is “What kind of God do you believe in?”

    Luke 15 has been called the lost and found department of the Bible. In it we find (1) the lost sheep that was brought home with joy, Lu 15:4-7; (2) the lost silver that was found with joy, Lu 15:8-10; and the lost son that had been a prodigal, but returned to his father's house, and was ...read more

    Jesus Loves Sinners Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 4,167 views

    Jesus is the shepherd who loves the sheep whose performance is the worst. He loves in spite of your poor obedience, your poor performance. No one has been more inclusive of sinners than Jesus.

    Jesus tells us three stories that arrives at a climax with a return of a son to his family and his father. These three stories, finding a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, form a pyramid where the three show us the same truth but each side shows a different shade and nuance to God’s love. ...read more
