Exchanged For Truth Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 14, 2011

When man's rebellion against God grows strong, he determines to go his own way. God will allow man to have his own way but turns him over to the results of following his own way.

Shadows

Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Dec 4, 2009

Symbolically, a person’s shadow is the symbol of their influence. The shadow of a man is often larger and more far reaching than the man himself. The most potent form of influence is not only silent but also for the most part, unaware -- Just as we are

The Contemporary Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

If Jesus was still in the tomb, and not a living contemporary, then however, great a man and teacher He was, He is of no more value to us than any other dead man. Any religion will do if the best only gets you to the grave.

The Enneagram And Inner Healing - Psycho-Heresy In The Church

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Mar 8, 2019

Within the church there has been a great influx of human psychology mixed with Scripture. This has resulted in a convoluted understanding of the human mind and heart, as they are examined and studied from man’s perspective, rather than from God’s.

The Enneagram System of personality typing has surged in popularity among American Christians, especially among the young who are culturally steeped in both the practices of church doctrine and dogma as well as of the secular world, and are not content with what the Bible says about the human ...read more

A Wedding Message

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jul 4, 2023

A message presented at the wedding of a young man who was born during a previous pastorate. The young man, now twenty-five years of age, is a vibrant follower of Christ as is his bride. I was privileged to be invited to share in this special event.

Would [the parents of the bride], and [the parents of the groom], please stand.

Blindness To Blessings

Contributed by Senior Pastor Ndayiragije-Misigaro Joel on Dec 30, 2022

It is very critical if not disastrous to fall into lusting because it places one in denial and refusal to see reality. When God created man and breathed the breath of life into the nostril. Man became a human being or a living soul and not a human doing

How To Be A Servant After God’s Own Heart Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 10, 2026

Why was David a man after God's own heart... but Saul wasn't? And what can that tell me about how I can be a man after God's own heart?

I never thought about it before, but our culture talks a lot about our HEARTS. For example: If we want to have an intimate and personal talk with someone, we say that we want to have a “heart-to-heart”. If we’ve had a really good day, we might say that we are feeling “Lighthearted.” If we know ...read more

The Masterpiece Of The Gospel: The Resurrection

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Mar 18, 2008

The only true masterpiece of man is sin, God’s masterpiece uses the centerpiece (the cross) to paint over the ugly and unacceptable work of man. God’s masterpiece is still the good news. It is still the greatest story ever told.

Intro: A masterpiece is the greatest work of an artist, or something superlative (the best of) its kind. Michelangelo had his Sistine chapel, Leonardo DaVinchi had the Mona Lisa and the Last Supper, and Van Gogh had his self portrait. There is no work of art that compares to God’s masterpiece the ...read more
