    Jesus once asked a question about identity: “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” Interestingly, he got several responses.

    Self Control Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023
     | 3,052 views

    There are really two halves to today’s message. First, I want to speak on the importance and need for growth in a believer’s life, and second is the importance of self-control.

    Do you have everything under control? I mean everything within you – do you all of you in control? Let me just get real serious, real quick here: what is the one item in your life you have trouble controlling? Do you have total self-control in the area of food? Drink? Sex? Your tongue? Today, I ...read more

    Souls For Sale

     | 1,863 views

    We can sell our souls to the devil.

    We use the phrase "make a deal with the Devil" to describe a person or persons perceived as having collaborated with evil for their own benefit. We use a similar expression: "sold his soul to the devil." We mean that a person has resorted to something wrong or underhanded to get ...read more

    1. Have I measured the value of my life? (vs. 24-26). 2. Have I determined my destiny? (vs. 26). 3. Do I recognize my responsibility before God? (vs. 27). 4. Am I trusting Jesus when I don't understand? (vs. 28). 5. Am I focused on Christ's return? (vs. 27-28).

    The Fear Of The Lord Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,062 views

    Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

    Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

    A Warning That Bears Repeating

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jun 10, 2022
     | 1,777 views

    As the days draw nearer for the Lord's promised return, more people are choosing the wealth of the world rather than taking care of the most precious commodity they have, and that is their soul. Nothing of this world is worth the loss of eternal life with Christ.

    Some time ago, I watched a series of programs that the BBC (British Broadcasting Company) had produced which centered on a variety of individuals who had encountered the Lord Jesus Christ at some point in their lives yet walked away with nothing more than faint curiosity, some conversation, or ...read more

    Works Or Not?

     | 1,498 views

    Doing good works is a very controversial topic among Christians, because they are either overemphasized or underemphasized. It’s hard to find the balance, but the scriptures are the best help.

    Doing good works is a very controversial topic among Christians, because they are either overemphasized or underemphasized. It’s hard to find the balance, but the scriptures are the best help, if we’ll listen to them instead of blindly accepting the prejudices of men. There are several factors to ...read more

     | 2,014 views

    The Bible teaches us that we need to share the harvest financially, physically by discipling and mentoring others for the Kingdom of Heaven. But in the process of discipleship we share the harvest spiritually as well.

    If I can't "buy" my way into heaven, why would Jesus ask "What shall a man give in return for his soul?"

    (This sermon is part of series is loosely based on a book by Randy Alcorn – “The Treasure Principle”) OPEN: King Tutankhamen (King Tut) was only 17 years old when he died.

    The Cost Of Discipleship

     | 3,750 views

    What does it mean to be a disciple of Jesus Christ and what will it cost you? In this sermon we learned that denying our selves, taking up our cross, and following Jesus, means letting go of self-preservation, self-determination, and self-identity.

    The Rate Of Exchange

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Aug 10, 2021

    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

    It certainly appears, as many commentators have noted, that God is at heart a hedonist. He seems to delight in humans taking pleasure in creation.

    Twenty-Second Sunday in Course 2023 The Hebrew prophet Jeremiah knew the joys and dangers of obeying the admonition to offer one’s body as a living sacrifice to God, and of refusing to conform himself to a corrupt age, such as he had, and Jesus, and, for that matter, us in twenty-first century ...read more
