    We Belong Together Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Jul 9, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,672 views

    God never called any to be a lone ranger Christian. We are called to come together as living stones to build up the New Temple of God, to be His dwelling place.

    I brought this brick with me this morning. Now there is really nothing special about this brick all by itself. It’s not much to look at. But if we take a whole bunch of these bricks and put them together, the results are much more impressive. These bricks do not build a building all by themselves. ...read more

    The Parable Of The Net

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 4,400 views

    God catches all kinds of people---people from all walks of life. God is not willing for anyone to perish (II Pet. 3:9) which is why God gives us the free gift of His grace. God chooses us but not everyone chooses to have a relationship with God. God also wants us to choose Him.

    THE PARABLE OF THE NET Text: Matthew 13:47 - 50 Have any of you ever auditioned for a role or a part in a school play? How about applying for a job? How many of you have tried out for a sport, hoping that you would make the team? For those of you who auditioned for a ...read more

    To be an effective Church we must be pliable clay in God's hand.

    "God's Work of Art" Jeremiah 18:1-11 I have entitled this sermon, "God's Work of Art," but I am unsure as to whether this is an appropriate title or not. Let's see where we go from here, and perhaps you can let me know if I gave this sermon a proper name. Nowadays, pottery-making is an art ...read more

    You Are The Salt Of The Earth Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on May 23, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,043 views

    Jesus calls us to be the salt - the preservative - of the earth. He warns us against losing our sense of mission. Or, considering the Greek, perhaps he is warning us against being pushed off course. But either way, his message is: stick with it.

    Today, after a bit of a break, we’re returning to Jesus’ longest recorded sermon, the Sermon on the Mount. Can you remember how Jesus starts his sermon? What was his first WORD? Jesus’ first word is ‘blessed’. ‘Blessed’ means happy or fortunate. Jesus wants us to be blessed. He is going to ...read more
