Who Are The Witnesses? Series

Contributed by Larry Hinkle on Oct 22, 2019

Jesus has given us same assignment of the apostles, to go, to pray and witness. It may appear impossible. To be faithful we need equipped, and encouraged, empowered. I want to share how you can be equipped, empowered and effective in the greatest commission.

It’s Friday, But Sunday’s Coming!

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2019

I took S.M. Lockridge’s message, probably preached 70 years ago, and adapted it by making it into rhyming verse which increases it's power. You can add this at the end of your next Easter message for a powerful ending.

A. IT’S FRIDAY, BUT SUNDAY’S COMING 1. It’s Friday! Jesus is praying, Peter’s straying, Judas is betraying -- But Sunday’s comin.’ 2. It’s Friday. Pilate is judging, the council is fudging, the crowd’s are shouting, the disciples are pouting. Mary is crying & Peter’s denying. But they don’t ...read more

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 22, 2019

Ponder the various responses of the people who came to know of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus.

Can this be real? That Jesus died and then came back to life? • What does it mean to us if He is dead? Does it really matter? The truth is, it matters. If Jesus claims to be God and comes from heaven, and He remains dead, then there is no hope for anyone. • Death ends everything. Death will be ...read more

Who? Us? Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Apr 24, 2019

If we do not value people’s souls, we will not go out looking for them. And if we do not go looking, then we cannot fulfill our purpose … which is to bring people into a right relationship with God. And if we do not fulfill our purpose, then what good are we to God?

Imagine you’re God and you want to announce the most amazing, incredible, joyous news ever … an event that will literally change the course of history … the birth of your only Son, Jesus Christ … the birth of the One who will be the Savior of the whole world … the One for whom the Nation of Israel ...read more

The Stewardship Of The Gospel

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 31, 2019

The understanding that the Apostle Paul had for God's calling on his life is instructive for the calling of every church.

This morning I would like to start on a fairly major project. We are going to start a sermon series from the New Testament book of Ephesians. Its only 6 chapters long, but there is so much in it that it could easily take us 6 months to complete. I love the Bible, and to see the Bible's ...read more

God has a great story He wants us to join.

Walking on Water Matthew 14:22-33 The phrase “Walking on Water” has become a proverb. It is spoken of someone who seems to prevail against all odds. It is to do the impossible.
