    There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

    WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD? MAYBE THEY HAVE LET THE WAYS OF LIFE DISTRACT THEM AWAY FROM FAITH AND GOD. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES A “CHRISTIAN” ...read more

    The life of discipleship has three steps: attachment, understanding, and imitation.

    God is unquestionably the world’s greatest fisherman. And he’s not at all offended by the description, either, because that is what he called us to be. And the first thing a fisherman has to know is what bait the fish will bite on. God got me good. Back in ‘83 I was Miss Corporate America, junior ...read more

    This sermon marks a critical point in the ministry of Jesus. It is time for Jesus' disciples to know that He is the Messiah and to know what kind of Messiah He will be. They are shocked to discover there is a cross in store for Jesus and for all of Jesus' followers.

    There are two sharply contrasting philosophies of life. One is seen in the rich fool story. It is about going for what the world offers. The other philosophy of life is about going for what Christ offers. Our passage contrasts these two philosophies.

    What will you gain? Mark 8:34-38 The story is told of a rich farmer, his fields were particularly fruitful, so much so that there was not enough room to store everything. He tore down the barns and built new and bigger ones. After the new barns were built, he felt like he could sit back and ...read more

    You Have A Soul

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 22, 2022
     | 2,215 views

    New research findings in Science and Medicine now support the Bible's statement that we have a soul, not just a body. People must know this so they can make correct decisions about where they will spend eternity.

    YOU HAVE A SOUL OPENING ILLUSTRATION Get 4 kids to front. Turn off lights. Shine flashlights thru hands. You can see the bones inside the skin. “WE HAVE SOMETHING INSIDE!” We know this also because of Xrays and ultrasounds. But today I want to talk about something else we have inside: a SOUL & ...read more

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jul 6, 2021
     | 1,975 views

    There is a cost to becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ. Each person has to determine what he/she is willing to give. Jesus gave His life. In turn what will you surrender?

Koplitz Mark 8:34-38 34 And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 35 "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose ...read more

     | 3,310 views

    No where in Scripture does it say that being a disciple of Jesus will be easy. All Scripture references are from the NASB.

    In this sin sick world we live in, the prevailing attitude is “What’s in it for me?” Even in the church, people choose their church as to what will benefit me the most. Where can I get my needs met. Rarely do you hear of people who feel called to a church because of what they can contribute vice ...read more

    Jesus made it clear that you can gain everything the world has to offer, but it rusts, wears out, turns to dust, and you cannot take it with you after you die. If you lose your soul, however, you lose your life for eternity.

    Humanity in its natural state really does not place much value on life, preferring to love death (Proverbs 8:36) in the form of abortions, murders, manslaughter, varied stages and types of physical, emotional, and mental abuse, and a placing on some individuals and groups a stigma of ...read more
