    If we don't handle bitterness & hostility differently than the way most people in the world handles them, then we have not learned what it means to be a Christian. What did Jesus say?

    Palmer Chinchen tells of the time when he went whitewater rafting down the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe. The guide gave them some very important instructions after they put on all their safety gear. He began with “When the raft flips.” Notice the guide didn’t say “if the raft flips.” “When the raft ...read more

    A look at how Matthew 18 teaches us to be honest about our sins and that we need to be prayerful

    Introduction to sermon This morning we come to another very familiar passage. It’s only five verses long but wow! What five verses they are. If your brother sins (or sins against you) what are we to do? Do we take offence or do we build a bridge (show the kids talk lego). There is so much going on ...read more

    When we stand before God to give an account of our life on earth, He won’t ask how many fences we made, but how many bridges we built.

    Two brothers living on adjoining farms fell into conflict after 40 years of working together. It began with a small misunderstanding, grew to a major difference, and finally exploded in an exchange of bitter words, followed by weeks of silence. One morning, there was a knock on the older son’s ...read more

     | 7,526 views

    As we see the destruction of another hurricane season and other catastrophic events our hearts are sensitized to the great need around the world. Can we find a comparison in the "storms" of our own personal lives?

    (This is more of a mini-sermon with "thought" that will need to be fleshed out in your own words. I hope that it is not too muddled for you to follow. May the Lord fill you with grace and peace today! PTL!!) Please open your Bibles to Matthew 8:18-27 which we will read in a few minutes. There ...read more

    Where two or three are gathered in my name. How do we work together to be the church and a living witness to the grace of God within the world

    In the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit, amen. I came upon this prayer, which I thought was very apt as we come to unfold the scripture, so let’s begin by praying.

  • What's The Difference?

    Contributed by Tree Perkins on Sep 5, 2020
     | 2,918 views

    We've been taught since Sunday school that Jesus is with us and we carry Him in our heart. But Matthew 18:20 tells us that where two or three are gathered, Jesus will be among them. So what makes verse 20 different?

    The last verse in our scripture reading today is my number one all-time favorite verse in the entire Bible. Verse 20 has brought me comfort over the years. Even though verse 20 is my favorite, it’s important to consider verse 19 as it sets the tone for the purpose of gathering in prayer. In vs. 19 ...read more

  • Church Discipline – Spanking Ourselves So God Doesn’t Have To – Part 1

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Sep 28, 2020
     | 3,656 views

    It is God’s will that His church be pure. But preaching and teaching holiness will not bring about purity in the church if there is an indifference to how people respond.

    For this series, we've relied heavily on the books Shepherdology by Pastor John MacArthur (M) and Handbook of Church Discipline by Jay Adams (A) A new believer was invited to attend a "Young Adult Fellowship". When he arrived at the home of one of the young adults at the church he ...read more

    Quality worship experience is dependent upon biblical principles. This message examines some of those principles as stated in Psalm 65.

    We take as our text today, Psalm 65. In the Bible God has given us a healthy spiritual balance of truth. Some portions of Scripture warn and correct. In Psalm 19:7-11 David celebrated this. He wrote, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making ...read more

     | 4,670 views

    Sometimes, it is necessary to bring about confrontation, not so that you feel better and are happy, but so that relationships are restored, and sinners are brought back to obedience.

    What do you do when you are hurt by the sinful actions of others? Authors Timothy Lane and Paul Tripp provide us with examples of people who are hurt by the sinful actions of others.
