Setting Our Priorities Straight

Contributed by Esther Collins on Jan 21, 2022

We live in times when it's a challenge to keep our priorities straight. The Bible gives us great examples of those who were able to choose right, and also enjoy the consequences of their godly choices.

Setting our Priorities Straight Take a moment to write down three things that you consider your topmost priorities in your life. Also write down the number of hours you spend on any given day on these activities that are mentioned – time spent on eating, sleeping, studying, working, with family, ...read more

An Invitation To Healing (Bonus Week) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jan 25, 2022

God gave most of this message to me while I was at work. I took dictation, basically, for 45 minutes, and then tried to fill in gaps without messing it up. Bottom line: God will heal you.

Brothers and sisters, understand today that I am in no way criticizing you, or condemning you, or judging you. I want to help you. There is no more obvious sign of the church's weakness and lack of faith than the chronic sickness and disease found in so many of its members. Even just among ...read more

The Attributes Of Mercy

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Dec 12, 2021

A look at the Mercies of God and how we should reflect them

“Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” (Matt 5:7 NIV) When you consider forgiving the people who have hurt you, you must always consider how much Jesus has forgiven you! You don’t deserve His love and can never earn it. He forgave you because He is a merciful, gracious God. ...read more

Objects In The Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear

Contributed by Rick Chapman on Dec 22, 2022

There is a small inscription etched in that side mirror and I want to use that little line as the topic of this sermon this morning, It reads, objects in the mirror are closer than they appear.

OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR As I was driving down the road one day, I began to think if life can be compared to driving. I thought on that comparison on this subject and a phrase came to me and it goes something like this. If life is like a highway, then the soul must be the ...read more

Called To Serve

Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 14, 2023

Every Christian is called to serve in the ministry. Only a select few are called into full-time pastoral ministry, but many others are called to serve God in other capacities. This short sermon explores that calling a little further.

The Bible says in 1 Peter 4:10-11: Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength ...read more

Making Jesus Real

Contributed by Brian Williams on Sep 27, 2023

The Love of God was put on display for all the world to see. Those who believed became the personal recipients of that love. As His family we want continue to make the love of Jesus obvious to others, through our words and our actions, we cannot divorce one from the other.

We took this summer to discuss many different philosophical as well as biblical arguments that point to God’s existence. Yet amongst all the arguments, I believe one of the greatest testimonies for the existence of a personal God is His love (1 John 4:8). Love is at the core of the Christian faith ...read more

Caring For The Vineyard

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 5, 2023

We can learn from the parable of the wicked vineyard tenants how to stay vigilant with being good stewards of God's Kingdom on earth.

THERE IS A COST INVOLVED WITH FOLLOWING JESUS. THERE ARE STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF SACRIFICE, INITIATIVE, AND EFFORT AS WE BECOME MORE PASSIONATE WITH HOLINESS AND THE PRIORITIES OF LOVING OUR NEIGHBOR, PROCLAIMING THE GOSPEL, AND BEING MORE FOCUSED ON THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND MAKING DISCIPLES.

The Sons Of Thunder

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 6, 2023

Jesus nicknamed James and John the "Sons of Thunder," because of their swift, brash and judgmental temperaments. They were ready to call down fire on people. But we see how the Spirit transformed John into the Apostle of Love. Has God changed you?

The Valley Of Dry Bones

Contributed by Sunitha Justin on Oct 11, 2023

God wants you to speak words of faith and hope over your dry bones! It wouldn't have been easy for Ezekial either. While Ezekial was seeing a valley full of dry bones; God was seeing a valley with a vast army. And when he spoke, miracles happened.

The prophet Ezekiel was a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah. God had a particular mission for Ezekiel. After the Babylonian exile, Jeremiah ministered to the children of Israel who were still in Jerusalem. But Ezekiel was carried off with the second group that was taken to captivity by the ...read more
