    The Apostle John’s warnings about false teachers and how we should treat them. Also his encouragement to stick to the basics as they were originally taught.

    The tiny Epistles of John contain great wisdom for those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Today we will be looking at John’s teachings from Second John as he warns us about those who would try to water down Christianity or in other subtly ways lead Christians astray. 2John 1:7 ...read more

    The Non-Absentee Farmer

    Jesus doesn't just plant the seeds of the kingdom and then disappear. He sticks with us for the long haul. He nurtures the seeds of faith and helps us to grow.

    Don't you just love a baptism? You have the beautiful little baby, the parents and God parents making promises to both child and God. And you have the water and the word. God promising to adopt this child into his family and make him or her his own. There's a lot of stuff going on ...read more

    People, Like Pennies

    Contributed by Timothy Darling on Feb 2, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,319 views

    Wealth in our lives is measured in many ways. Pennies are a small measure of money, but Benjamin Franklin would have told you that a penny saved is a penny earned. Friends in our lives are another kind of wealth that we may not value highly enough. Wherev

    People, like pennies Luke 5:27-32 I watched a hidden camera show some time back. The director had taken two rolls of pennies and dropped them randomly but obviously along a half a city block.

    Blessed Are The Poor Widows

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2015
     | 9,773 views

    God measures giving not by what we give, but by what we keep for ourselves. He measures the gift by the sacrifice involved. That is why Jesus valued the widow’s gift. She sacrificed her well-being in order to show her love for God.

    When I was preparing my message for today, I came across a story about a little boy who went to church one Sunday morning to get out of the cold. He had been trying to sell newspapers, but no one had passed by. He entered the church, hoping to pass an hour unnoticed in the back row. The minister ...read more

    A sermon that outlines, seriusly interprets and applies the text; we all experience "troubled hearts," and the Lord offers us steps to move them toward "peaceful hearts."

Did you ever play board games like “Shoots and Ladders” or “Gooses Wild” or even “Candyland?” You know the kind of games—your goal is to get to the finish line…. 2.

    based on 65 ratings
     | 8,155 views

    It takes work to give up something for Lent, but before you can give up anything for God, first you have to get up and decide to go to work for Him. Before you can do the Lenten "give-up", you have to get up!

    Welcome to the first Sunday of Lent that season of the church year where people who attended church were once traditionally asked to give something up for the season. What have you given up for Lent lately? Often the idea of a making a personal sacrifice for God falls on deaf ears. What does God ...read more

    Why is it that the divorce rate in the church is not any better than those outside the church? This message looks at the worldly mindsets that destroy a marriage in or out of the church.

    An Associated Press story printed 10 days ago on Valentine’s Day reported a woman who had just celebrated her 50th anniversary. While that is commendable in itself, what made the story unusual was the fact that all 6 of her older siblings had also been married 50 years or more. Collectively, these ...read more
