    This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.”I Corinthians 4:1-2

    What Is Leadership? Paul says in I Corinthians 4:1-2, “This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” God owns everything ...read more

    A sermon about Jesus and popularity (Main thought from a Christology class; outline from Jon Johnston's book, Will Evangelicalism Survive It's Own Popularity?)

    HoHum: “From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” John 6:66-68. To go from ...read more

     | 7,030 views

    A sermon focused on OT on how the church is to be culturally distinct (Material adapted from Daniel Overdorf's book, What the Bible Says About the Church: Rediscovering Community, chapter 2 Culturally Distinct, pg. 49- 63)

    Introduction: God calls his people to remain distinct from our culture. To be distinct is to be different in nature from something else, more than just being different. Often say that we are to be different from our culture and this is correct. However, there are many individuals and groups ...read more

    Truth in the inward being! Psalm 51:6”Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.” Friend, we live in a modern world that has forgotten the word TRUTH! Immersed in the muck of lies, stealing, manipulation, compromise, dishonesty, ...read more

    Playing Games With Sin

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Dec 16, 2014
     | 5,725 views

    Sin is more than an outward act, sin is a STATE OF MIND. Sin is much like a dandelion you can fight it your whole life and it tends to spring up again and again. Sin starts as a seed of thought and roots from there.

    PLAYING GAMES WITH SIN... Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com TEXT: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Numbers 32:23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the Lord: and be sure your sin will ...read more

    The Willing Kinsman Redeemer

    Contributed by Davon Huss on Dec 17, 2014
     | 3,156 views

    Let's discuss two common accusations (against a willing kinsman redeemer and the atonement) in our day

    HoHum: How can you tell if a redneck wedding is formal? The shotgun is painted white. WBTU: Is Boaz willing to marry Ruth and redeem Naomi’s land? In chapter 3 we find that Boaz agrees to do this. In chapter 4 we find that he confronts this near of kin to see if he will redeem. We find ...read more

    Christmas Journeys: The Magi Series

    Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Dec 27, 2014
     | 4,757 views

    We ought to take our cue – not from Herod, who rejected God’s gift of Jesus – but from the wise men, who received it with glad and thankful hearts.

    This is the last of our series on the theme of Faces at the Manger. We started with Joseph, remember, and we continued with the angels, the shepherds, and Mary, the mother of our Lord. And now we conclude with the wise men, or the magi, as they are sometimes called. Technically, they did not ...read more

    HoHum: Clint Eastwood- They say all marriages are made in heaven, but so are thunder and lightning. WBTU: Review and background for Ephesians 5:21-33 God designed marriage Vs. 31 we have heard a lot lately. Paul quotes from the Genesis account in Ephesians like Jesus did in Matthew 19.

    The Gospel: Shown By Allegory Series

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,527 views

    Galatians 4:21-31 is unique. It is the only place in the New Testament to use allegory from the Old Testament. These events are recorded in Geneses 15-21. When Abraham was seventy five years old God promised him he would be the father of a great nation.

    One of the most widely read and influential books of all time was written from a jail cell by a Baptist minister. He was in England, in jail for twelve years for preaching without a license when he wrote it. The title of the book is Pilgrims Progress and the author is John Bunyan. There are ...read more

    Fasting For Lent

    based on 3 ratings
     | 10,562 views

    In response to the temptation to throw himself into the rat race called material satisfaction, Jesus finds a calm centre, an anchor in the word of God. That centered faith will enable him to deal with all the other temptations to come.

    There once was a little boy named Bobby, who desperately wanted a new bicycle. His plan was to save his nickels, dimes and quarters until he finally had enough to buy a new 10-speed bike. Each night he asked God to help him save his money. Kneeling beside his bed, he prayed, “Dear Lord, ...read more

    Two things we need most are found in Jesus: real security and deep satisfaction.

    King Saul was a major disappointment. As you know, he was the first king of Israel, and he was everything you would want a king to be. When we first meet him in the pages of Scripture, we are told that he was “a handsome young man.” In fact, “there was not a man among the people ...read more

    We are called to lay down our lives for others.

    "Lay It Down" 1 John 3:16-24 Facebook is a funny thing. It's a forum where people often post pictures of their beautiful children and grandchildren, and inspirational quotes to help others through the day.

    Daniel: Consistent, Confident And Courageous Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,257 views

    Daniel teaches us be example how to live righteously for Jesus. His consistent life and confident trust in Yahweh should be a great encouragement to us as we live in an ever increasing Godless culture and world.

    Intro: We are living in a culture that is much like Daniel’s today. Politically correct and privately motivated. Daniel is old possibly 80 or 90 years old. He has probably seen his family and friends grow old around him. His Hebrew accent is most likely gone and he wears the clothing ...read more

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt- And Children Series

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 22, 2015
     | 5,222 views

    1) God’s plan in creation is for men and women to marry and have children. 2) In this fallen world, marriage is not God’s best for everyone, and having children is not God’s calling on all couples. 3) Focus on Ephesians 6:1-4 (from John Piper)

    HoHum: “Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children." Mark Twain WBTU: Must go back to the context here. At the end of Ephesians 5 Paul talks about marriage. He does give the role of the husband and the role of the wife in marriage, but there is so much more. In Ephesians 5 Paul is ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,686 views

    How do we respond to God’s word? Is it a casual experience, or something that we treasure every day we are able? Are we reminded of what God has done because we spend time in His word? How we treat His word is a tremendous invitation to others.

    God’s Word Brings Revival Nehemiah 8:1-18 Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership; shows faithful obedience to God - This morning, we continue our examination of this incredible story - We last left off with Nehemiah beginning to populate the city -- However, there is ...read more
