    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? You probably have an idea. But I want to make sure today that you understand exactly what it means for you.

    Have you ever wondered why Christmas is all about giving? Well, I imagine most of us have a feel for this. It’s because Jesus was all about loving and giving. But there’s a little bit more to it than that. And my goal this evening is that you don’t miss what Jesus intended Christmas to be ...read more

    In answer to the question: There seem to be a lot of different ideas about how a person can be sure to be allowed into Heaven. I have a lot of family members who tried different approaches. Are they in Heaven or not?

    The Lifted Up Servant Series

    based on 24 ratings
     | 18,383 views

    Our passage teaches us of a violent grace. Though man would cast down the Servant, God would lift Him up and glorify Him. He who man esteemed not, God would magnify.

    ISAIAH 52:13 15 - 52:15 THE LIFTED UP SERVANT John 12: 32-33 The text we begin today may be the best know in the Old Testament. The passage is certainly one of the riches and most unmistakable prophecies in the Bible. Our text begins the fourth ...read more

    Absolute God

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 27, 2016
     | 4,819 views

    Many in this world do not believe in any idea that is absolute. Jesus was NOT one of those. Jesus declared the Gospel in absolute terms with no "wiggle room" built in. Thank you, Jesus, for such a glorious gift!

    John 14:1-14 As we look up this Scripture we are (hopefully) remembering some of the sermon from last week when we saw that: Jesus lived His life with the Father ever before His face And that we have a natural inclination to take our eyes off of Jesus and look at the things of this world which ...read more

     | 5,536 views

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more

    What does it take to change and live for Jesus, what does it take to move from belief in the Messiah to a follower of the Messiah, of Jesus Christ? This is an update on a previous seron, A bit more relevant for 2026.

    As we are starting into 2026, today I want to ask a simple question, well a couple. What does it take to change and live for Jesus, what does it take to move from belief in the Messiah to a follower of the Messiah, of Jesus Christ? It takes transformation and it starts in your head.

    The message is a call for men to be manly, despite knowing the cost that may be required of a man.

    “David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and Jonathan his son, and he said it should be taught to the people of Judah; behold, it is written in the Book of Jashar.

    I’m really glad God came up with the idea of Christmas. But what did God have in mind when He created Christmas? What motivated Him to bring Christmas to us?

    Christmas is really enjoyable on so many levels. But a widow names Stella has an unusual experience on Christmas. Stella’s first Christmas as a widow brought incredible loneliness. One day her doorbell rang and she was greeted by a messenger holding a box. “What’s in the box?” she asked. The ...read more

    The sermon is a kickoff to our VBS with the same theme. The idea is that the characters of the bible were significant to God in their development before him. We used CAR names to remind us of certain bible characters.

    1. A Car Ride Home After a baby dedication service for his baby brother in church, little Johnny sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car. His father asked him three times what was wrong. Finally, the boy replied, "That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, but I ...read more
