    Earthen Vessel, Feet Of Clay

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,438 views

    Ordination of Troy L. Dixon, Nov. 1989: We pursue the trappings of religion instead of what is truly value. As a common clay vessel, be wary of power games, know that your foundation can crumble, focus on the treasure of the Gospel.

    Somehow in men’s minds the paraphernalia of religion get to be more important than the faith itself. It is one of the enduring problems of religious life, how it is that we get far more caught up and invested in the trappings of religion than in the faith itself. In your average church, you ...read more

    The accounts of the last supper sound more like the last snack. This message looks at what all happened that night.

    Do you ever feel that you’ve only heard half the story? It’s kind of frustrating isn’t it? You wonder what else might have gone on and what you’ve missed. That’s what happens when we read the accounts of the Last Supper, it doesn’t matter if it’s one of the accounts in one of the four gospels or ...read more

    "The Gospel Not Of Man"

    Contributed by Clark Tanner on Nov 5, 2009
     | 2,731 views

    What aspect of the Gospel differentiates it from every philosophy or doctrinal statement of mankind? It is that it comes directly from God. It is otherworldly. It is entirely divine in origin.

    “For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.” Vs 11 Preacher and Bible commentator, John Stott, said this in his exposition of Paul’s letter to the Galatians: “To tamper with the gospel is to trouble the church… Indeed the church’s ...read more

    The last week of Max Lucado’s Fearless Campaign based on his book. This week we let Jesus out of His box. We like the tame and cuddly Jesus but at His transfiguration Jesus shows that He is the ferocious God.

    Fearless #6 Fear of God getting out of my box This is our last week in this series that we call “fearless.” We have been trying to take of the bullies of life, those things that cause us to cower in a corner, those things that make us want to take a different path, and those things that just scare ...read more

    What A Relief

    Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Mar 16, 2009
     | 3,140 views

    If our society is so sophisticated that it is tolerant of what was once known as sin, why do we still have so much depression, fatigue, illness, and violence? Is there a prescription for the underlying guilt?

    I wonder….If our society is so sophisticated that we are supposed to be beyond our need for God, why do we have so many depressed and suicidal people in our population? And if Freud was correct that all of our guilt can be tied to repression, why is it that our society of tolerance and acceptance ...read more

    Life offers many answers, but only one Answer. Hosea calls God’s people out for their lack of faithfulness to God’s Answer, and by implication, challenges us to faithfulness.

    If you’re a fan of comedy movies like I am, the title of today’s sermon will ring a bell. The theme song of “Ghostbusters” went something like, “When there’s something weird in your neighborhood, who ya’ gonna’ call?
