Why We Are Here

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 10, 2021

I read an article recently about church planting and the author talked about all of the humanitarian things that result from doing so. It got me to thinking: is church planting what Jesus really wants if it’s going to following the humanitarian model?

The message today is titled “Why we are here.” I’m not asking a question, as you can see, but making a statement of purpose. Now I’m not talking about why we are here at this church. Well, at least not directly. I’m talking about why those of us who call ourselves Christian, who are born again and ...read more

Repent - The First Message Of Lord Jesus Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 3, 2021

In this period of 400 years when the Lord chose to remain silent, everything in the temple continued as it always had. The rituals of worship, sacrifices, feasts and festivals were carried out with regularity, but the dismal part was that the Lord was not in it. Why?

Repent - The first message of Lord Jesus Matthew 3:1-2:“In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (RSV) Matthew 4:17: “From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” ...read more

Heaven Has Come Near Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Mar 31, 2021

When the Son of God is born as man, we’ve already seen His plan.

A couple weeks ago, NASA landed their 8th Mars lander, InSight, on the surface of Mars and started a photoshoot. They kind of look like selfies on Mars to me. They were thrilled at a successful landing - the first of its kind in a few years. It cost a lot of money, and NASA hopes to learn a lot ...read more

"I Will Make You Fishers Of Men”

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 5, 2022

There are some things in the Bible that people sometimes feel they can be justified in saying, “I do not understand what that passage means.”

In those cases, we feel that God is not going to hold them responsible. However, some passages even the new convert can understand and obey. We know God does hold us responsible, and we will give account for those things we do understand. For example, the Bible clearly teaches that every ...read more

Sermon On The Kingdom Of God

Contributed by William Meakin on Nov 8, 2021

The Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven as it is also referred to is defined in Christianity by Encyclopedia Britannica as: “The spiritual realm over which God reigns as king, or the fulfilment on Earth of God’s will.

Carl Frederick Buechner an American writer, novelist, poet, autobiographer, essayist, preacher and theologian once remarked: “If we only had eyes to see and ears to hear and wits to understand, we would know that the Kingdom of God in the sense of holiness, goodness, beauty is as close as ...read more

Living In The Kingdom Part 8 Series

In this message we examine what Jesus taught about the sixth commandment. While the commandment says we should not kill, Jesus explains the true intent of the commandment - unjust anger.

Already, But Not Yet

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 23, 2022

What are the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God? Where are they located? Does knowing hold any significance for the believer? The kingdom was part of Jesus' message, and it should be a part of our message too.

I have entitled our message this morning “Already, But Not Yet.” This sermon title may sound a bit strange; however, it will soon make sense. I am going to have us focus on the topic of the kingdom, and see if we can identify its location. Many of us will probably say, “Well, that’s easy! The ...read more

32) Becomming A Fisher Of Men Series

Contributed by Brandon Max on Feb 27, 2022

Jesus called those who were Fishermen to become "Fishers of Men". This signified the spiritual focus they were to have in their lives as they followed Christ. Their true calling involved more than seeking to catch fish with a net, it involved catching men’s souls through the Gospel.

32) BECOMMING A FISHER OF MEN Text: TEXT: Luke 5:1-11 INTRODUCTION As our weekly study continues concerning: “...those things most surely believed among us” (Lk 1:1), We have recently been exploring what the Scriptures teach about the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Metanoia - The Greek Word For Repentance - Meaning And Significance Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 18, 2021

Repentance is rightly an alteration of our thought process. People can sometimes control our actions, but our thoughts are totally under our control and as our thoughts are hidden from others, we often don’t give much importance to controlling our thoughts.
