    A Breath Of Fresh Air

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Apr 20, 2022
     | 5,010 views

    Life can knock the wind out of us. Jesus shows up in those closed in places where we hide to breathe fresh Spirit into us to empower us to go on living into the mission He has called us into.

    SERMON TITLE: A Breath of Fresh Air TEXT: John 20:19-29 (NRSV) I. INTRODUCTION: Have you ever got the wind knocked out of you? Maybe as a child, you fell on the playground, or you were somehow hit in the stomach and couldn’t breathe. It is terrifying in those moments when it seems like time stands ...read more

    Light without the heavenly Source of Light is inadequate to illumine eternally. Only Jesus brings us the limitless light of God.

    Jesus, Light of the World (John 8:12-26) 1. We would like to wish our mom’s a Happy Mother’s Day. CNN, "The typical [stay at home] mother puts in a 92-hour work week… and works at least 10 jobs.

    Heaven Is A World Of Love Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 3,653 views

    Whenever Christians are full of envy and strife, it obscures the evidence of heaven. The clouds of hatred darken the evidence of Heaven’s love for us.

    Let a man do whatever religious thing he wishes, it means nothing without love. Love is the greatest of God’s gifts. Love is deeper than emotions. Love is the God-given proof that you are Christ’s disciples (John 13:35). This is a message about the future but it is also a map for the present. Since ...read more

    The Feeding Of The One Hundred

     | 6,132 views

    Elisha miraculously fed 100 of his disciples. Jesus fed 5,000.

    The Feeding of the One Hundred 2 Kings 4:42-44 When you looked at the title for this Sunday’s sermon, you may have thought to yourself: “Didn’t Jesus feed five thousand people?” Did we not learn of that from the Gospel of Mark last week? And is not this week’s Gospel text from the 6th chapter of ...read more

    Some time back, our denomination’s District Executive minister wanted to get to know me, since I was a new minister in the region. He wanted to treat me to an authentic southern breakfast, so he took me out to a Cracker Barrell Country Store. He ordered “Grits.”

    Introduction: Some time back, our denomination’s District Executive minister wanted to get to know me, since I was a new minister in the region.

    "Learning To Fly"

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Aug 8, 2018
     | 12,894 views

    A sermon about learning to trust in God.

    "Learning to Fly" Isaiah 40:21-31 The late Tom Petty has a song where he sings: “I’m learning to fly, but I don’t have wings.” Learning to fly is a metaphor for learning to live. I don’t know how Tom Petty interpreted what it means to “learn to live,” but as Christians learning how to live ...read more

    "How Long Is Eternity?”

     | 7,081 views

    How long with eternity be for the unbeliever and for the believer?

    Ecclesiastes 3:11 says God “set eternity in the hearts of men.” Every human soul has a God-given awareness that there’s “something more” than this world. Yet we’e also told, “Yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” In other words, in his fallen state, man senses there ...read more

    If We Ever Needed To See God

    Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Feb 7, 2021
     | 3,977 views

    We face trying times. This is no time to be afraid or be ashamed. But we cannot do this in ourselves. We need to see a vision of God.

    When We Really Need to See God Mark 9:2-9 Transfiguration Sunday comes every year just before Ash Wednesday. There are only three Gospel texts which tell about the Transfiguration, so it becomes a challenge to repeat a story we have heard so many times. The accounts are quite similar. Luke adds ...read more

    There's Nothing Like A Mother's Love

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 2,603 views

    In the New Testament we have a wonderful picture that Jesus would tend to people much like a mother hen would tend to her young (Luke 13:34). Comfort involves compassion, encouragement and sympathy.

    THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A MOTHER'S LOVE Text: Isaiah 66:13 Isaiah 66:13  As a mother comforts her child, so I will comfort you; you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. A young, awkward boy grew up in southern California, plagued by a learning disability that in later ...read more

    Are You Plugged In?

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on May 14, 2018
     | 9,121 views

    This message was given in a very public setting when our church met on a Sunday morning, not in our building, but at the local public park, inviting all at the park to join us in worship.

    Did you notice and really comprehended the words of the songs we sang earlier? All these songs dealt with seeking and longing to touch and to connect and be used by and with Jesus. Do we long to be with Him? To we seek to be connected with the Almighty? Do we really have power to live the life the ...read more

    Is "born again" ab outdated term?

    You Must Be Born Again John 3:1-17 The term “born again” seems to be well known. It is so well known that it has become timeworn. Celebrities like Bob Dylan went through a “born again” phase. But is this even a proper translation of the Greek? Should we, as many suggest, retire the term and find ...read more

    Before the Lights Went Out 1 Samuel 3:1-20 Verse 3 says that this event happened before the light went out in the Tabernacle. This is more than just the physical light.

    The Beginning

    On Good Friday, all hope was lost. Yet, Easter Sunday brought hope, forgiveness, and life to all who would choose Jesus as Lord. He is risen, and he rises us to new life as well!

    Luke 24:1-12 The Beginning Nature’s seasons remind us of the seasons of life. There is spring, where new growth is popping up out of the earth. The wild flowers are so pretty this time of year in South Texas. There is summer, and later fall, which here is like a slightly milder form of summer. ...read more

    The Paradox Of Pursuing Knowledge About God And Experiencing Him

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Jun 8, 2019
    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,437 views

    The danger of intellectual pursuit without an intimate experiential knowledge of God is that the heart can be come cold and brittle like a stone, making knowledge an idol.

    I remember as a young Born-Again Christian, just starting my spiritual journey that I would walk in and through the presence of God effortlessly. I lived and breathed the supernatural. Signs and Wonders were everywhere! The anointing was powerful! Then I went to Bible School and was told those ...read more
