Discerning The Season

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 18, 2021

This message was written in 2020. Some Christians are wondering if we’re in the endtimes. Jesus tells us that what we’re seeing is the beginning of birth pains. This message shows some signs that herald the nearing return of Christ.

I think we can all agree that the world is getting pretty crazy, and some Christians are wondering if we’re in the endtimes. Some are even wondering if we’re in the Tribulation period. Well, if you believe in a pretribulation rapture – that Christ will take us to heaven before the terrible things ...read more

#44 Okay, Let’s Roll Series

Contributed by Chuck Sligh on Apr 25, 2021

2 self-serving disciples tried to talk Jesus into giving them the greatest seats of honor and power. In this text, Jesus teaches His disciples that the way to be first is to be a servant and a slave, a concept that upends the world’s and the apostles’ values.

Good Enough For Heaven?

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 1, 2021

Jesus met a young man who thought he kept the entire Law. Most people believe they are going to heaven when they die, and they base their conclusion on being a morally good person. But, is anyone really good enough to go to heaven?

I’ve entitled our message this morning “Good Enough for Heaven?” with a question mark. Is anyone really good enough to go to heaven? An article from the Los Angeles Times says, “An overwhelming majority of Americans continue to believe that there is life after death and that heaven and hell exist ...read more

Easter: This short sermon reflects on how Jesus Christ, through the resurrection, has rolled away the enormous stone of sin in our life.

Love God: The First Great Command

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

The first great commandment is very simply a call to love God with a full heart. It seems fitting to start with the gospel of John, so often called the “love gospel.” Jesus was once asked what the greatest commandment is.

In Light of the Gospels The first great commandment is very simply a call to love God with a full heart.

Striking The Shepherd

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

The devil worked through believers to see Jesus betrayed and crucified. He is working today to discredit God's shepherds. When conflict arises, people all too often deny their leader; and this is the point at which he is led away to be crucified!

In Job 2:7, we read, “So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.” I think most of us realize that Satan can attack people physically by robbing them of their health; however, the surprising revelation is ...read more

Greatness In Serving Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on May 6, 2021

The disciples had to learn, often the hard way, that following Jesus does not mean favoritism from Him. They had to learn that service towards God and others is to be done with a loving, gracious attitude and not with an ego.

You have to admit that James and John thought a lot about their ability to serve the Lord Jesus. They wanted places of honor in the Kingdom of God without coming to grips with the hardship that follows everyone who gives their lives to Him. The disciples and all who would surrender their lives ...read more
