Generous With Our Service Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

Stewardship is about much more than money. This sermon deals with how we can be generous with our service.

Jack Jones wrote: “Putting a hog in the living room will not change the hog’s nature, but it will damage the living room. A lost man’s nature will not be ...read more

Three Of The Oldest Church Traditions Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 9, 2015

Because the disciples were very human, and because human nature hasn’t changed, they exemplified three established traditions that are every bit as common in the church today.

Three of the Oldest Church Traditions (Mark 10:32-45) 1. We all live within the boundaries of routines and patterns; but they do not always hold true. 2. Two old friends bumped into one another on the street one day. One of them looked forlorn, almost on the verge of tears. His friend asked, "What ...read more

Ambition Of James And John Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 3, 2018

James and John were naturally talented and dedicated to the Lord. Their mother, just like many mothers today, wanted the best for her children, and so a few days before Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem, she made a request in behalf of her children.

Satan Exists Where and what was the first sin against God committed? Who did it?

Two Brothers With An Agenda

Contributed by Robert Butler on Feb 14, 2022

The original disciples were no different than us in their pride until they fully understood what Jesus did for them AND only then did the commitment make sense.

Two brothers walk up to Jesus. It sounds like the beginning of a joke doesn’t it? Two brothers, often referred to as the sons of thunder, walk up to Jesus. It was just after the third time he shared that crazy statement about going to Jerusalem to die. They knew he was just trying to scare off the ...read more

Understanding Servant Leadership

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

Some people have never heard of servant leadership. This message discusses the wrong attitude for leadership. It then looks at three points defining servant leadership, and it concludes with the six primary characteristics.

Dwight L. Moody once said, “The measure of a man is not how many servants he has, but how many men he serves.”(1) This evening’s message will discuss something called servant leadership; and servant leadership is when a leader humbles him or herself to the level as those who are served.

Servanthood And Palm Sunday

Contributed by Tim Melton on Mar 15, 2021

Jesus had not come to be an earthly, military king who would free the Jews from Rome. He came for something greater. He came to free mankind from themselves, the slavery of sin, and an eternity separated from God. He came as a servant and bids us to do the same.

Greatness. Who comes to mind when you hear this word? To some, this word brings thoughts of a great athlete. To others, it brings to mind a great military commander or world leader of the past. To others, it brings to mind an artist or a musician. But who is truly great, what does greatness mean ...read more

Success Is Not What Some Folks Think It Is Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Aug 20, 2019

Jesus "walked ahead of them" - figuratively, FAR ahead of His disciples in understanding His mission, and ours --- having been called to serve rather than be served. Got it now? Well, then, follow His example!
