    ​are We Truly The Salt Of The Earth Or Have We Become Bland?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Apr 28, 2023
     | 1,343 views

    What does it mean to be good for nothing? Does it mean that a person is of little worth? How does the concept of salt compare with the Christian?

    What is salt used for and for what is it good for? In Matthew 5:13, assuming a seasoning has no flavor, it has no worth. On the off chance that Christians put forth no attempt to influence their general surroundings, they are of little worth to God. If we are like the world in an excessive amount, ...read more

    The world is your huge mission field, and the Holy Spirit is looking for people He can use to reach the world with the Word of God.

    There are 8 billion people in the world today. Lifeway Research notes that there are almost 2.56 billion Christians today. By 2050, that number is expected to top 3.33 billion. It is easy to see that nearly 5 billion people worldwide still need Jesus! The world is your huge mission field, and the ...read more

    What is salt used for and what is it good for?

    Salt Seasons: To treat or to prepare for use, to give more flavor. Spiritual saltiness - Do not blend in. You add salt to enhance the flavor of food. We are the salt that God uses to lead hungry people to food. But if we are not 'salty' enough we are of no-good use. We have become ...read more

    "is Hell Real Or Merely A Terrible Dream?"

    This message raises some thought-provoking questions: What would you do if you were God and your prized creation was in rebellion? After death, do the souls of wicked people go to a place of torment called Hell to later get resurrected and stand before God in the last judgment?

    How severely should we deal with sin? Is it possible to lead a holy life? Why should we do so? You will find answers to all of these questions and more in this sermon.

    We read in Mark 9:43-47, "If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire, [where their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.]” If your foot causes you to stumble, ...read more

    The Reality Of Hell

     | 4,957 views

    The Bible speaks about a real place called hell, and it’s a place where many people will unfortunately go when they die. But some individuals reason that hell is contradictory to God’s love and mercy and should not be preached.

    I have entitled our message this morning “The Reality of Hell.” Hell is a topic that tends to be avoided in a lot of churches and by a lot of pastors today. One person has accurately identified the perception of hell today when he said, “Since the days of fiery sermons from Puritan preachers like ...read more

    Monday - Cursing Fig Trees And Cleansing Temples Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 7, 2022
     | 3,631 views

    On Monday of Jesus' final week of earthly life, he cursed the fig tree and cleansed the temple. Both activities symbolized God's judgment on the fruitless religion of Israel. As disciple of Christ, we must be faithful and fruitful, and not cause others to stumble.

    A. Years ago, I decided to “edjumacate” myself by reading all the classic novels. 1. I decided to start with Herman Melville’s classic novel Moby Dick. 2.

    A close look at what Jesus considered greatness.

    Who is the Greatest? Who is the greatest person in this church? That should be an easy question to answer if we use our culture’s criteria of greatness. In our society greatness is decided with three measuring rods: • Money • Beauty and • Brains All we would need to do is submit our financial ...read more

    Each one of us can be that argumentative person; how should we handle them as Christians?

    Before reading our passage this morning in Mark 9, let’s note a few facts: First of all, why did Jesus leave heaven and come to earth?? Jesus came to earth to become a human being and die for the sin of people! And did Jesus remain dead? To reveal God’s power over life and death, Jesus rose from ...read more

    Urgency Of The Gospel

    Message focuses on the Great White Throne Judgement of unbelievers, emphasizing the seriousness of passing into eternity without Christ. Unbelievers should be alerted to these realities, and believers should be equipped and motivated to share the gospel.

    Rev. 20:11-15 5.31.15 Last week we talked about what the Gospel is and the importance of that message. Today I want to take as our subject, the Urgency of the Gospel. I want to use a passage in Revelation 20 to impress this upon our minds. Come with me to the last great event of human history. ...read more

    Two-thirds of Americans believe there is no hell. Let's imagine for a moment there is no hell. Lest you take me literally, I DO believe in the existence of heaven and hell. But what would you do if you wanted to eliminate the distasteful idea of hell?

    INTRODUCTION There are many theories about the afterlife. Some people believe in reincarnation. Three men died and stood before God, who asked them how they wanted to spend their next life on earth. The first man said, “I want to come back as myself, but I want to be 10 times smarter.” “Poof,” God ...read more
