    As we enter many towns we see that they have a sign at the city limits that often tells us the name of the town and gives a BIG welcome to all who enter!

    Signs can be very interesting, such as: • In a Non-smoking area a sign said: "If we see you smoking we will assume you are on fire and take appropriate action." • On Maternity Room door: "Push, Push, Push." • At an Optometrist's Office: "If you don't see what ...read more

    A little boy got on the elevator with his father at the Empire State Building. They were going to the observation deck at the top and view the city.

    • As the elevator ascended the boy watched the signs flash as they went by the floors: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70. • The farther up they went, the more nervous the boy became. • Finally he looked up as his dad and said, “Daddy, does God know we're coming?” (Leighton Ford, "Hope for a ...read more

     | 3,810 views

    If we are taking care of God’s business as a priority—seeking His salvation, living in obedience to Him, and sharing the good news of the kingdom with others—then He will take care of our business as He promised—and if that’s the arrangement, why not try it?

    Sermon: Insights For Kingdom Living in 2023 Scripture: Matthew 6:31-33 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the ...read more

    Sermon # 7 - Time To Stop Murmuring Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 21, 2023

     | 4,053 views

    Do we find ourselves complaining and murmuring about many things? Why do we do so, and how can we stop doing this? This sermon will help us examine ourselves in the light of God’s word.

    If we as a church today desire to resemble the early church, and if our aspiration is that people should be added in great numbers, then it is only appropriate that we not only evaluate ourselves in the light of God’s word, but also investigate to see what the early church did differently that made ...read more

    A Day’s Wages Series

    Gathering lost souls for the kingdom is considered labor. When Jesus returns, the payment that laborers (believers) receive is eternal life, and that exact same wage goes to all who have been hired, or rather called, by the Lord.

    This evening’s message is entitled “A Day’s Wages,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard.” This parable speaks of the reward or payment for one’s labor in the kingdom. There is a story among Aesop’s Fables that addresses the reward for one’s ...read more

    Jesus told His disciples the parable of the workers in the vineyard; does this still hold value today?
