     | 5,621 views

    The focus here is the union with Christ that produces the communion with one another as his body.

    Introduction In the previous passage Paul has taught that everyone in the church has spiritual gifts, that they all come from the same source, viz, God, and that they are to be used for the common good. With these gifts in mind, he now impresses upon them the profound truth of their union in ...read more

     | 11,369 views

    No matter how deep of a hole you find yourself in, if you have a relationship with God He will hear, He will find, and He will rescue you, though the victory may not be what you expect, it is accomplishing God's will

    Psalm 18 is the longest Psalm we have dealt with so far at fifty verses. It appears to have been written by David (though some argue against this) at a time after his lengthy battles with enemies that surrounded Israel and Saul’s battle against him for the kingship. It really speaks to the ...read more

    Contributed by Ken Sauer on Feb 7, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 9,460 views

    A sermon about being what Jesus calls us to be.

    "Salt and Light" Matthew 5:13-16 I often don't feel like "salt" and "light." I can be pretty self-centered. I often say things I shouldn't say and do things I shouldn't do. I'm not always nice. And I would imagine that Jesus' first disciples probably felt pretty much the same ...read more

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jul 20, 2015
     | 7,170 views

    The disciples asked Jesus why he spoke in parables. A parable is like an allegory or a fable-a practical story that illustrates a moral or spiritual concept. Jesus hadn’t used parables to this extent before now. Let's find out why he used parables.

    “WHAT’S UP WITH THE PARABLES, JESUS?” Matthew 13:3-23 INTRODUCTION: In verse 10 the disciples asked Jesus why he spoke to the people in parables. A parable is like an allegory or a fable-a practical story that illustrates a moral or spiritual concept. Jesus hadn’t really ...read more

    Clutter That Hinders

    Contributed by Travis L. Billings on Aug 5, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,634 views

    Because of the clutter and the noise in our lives, we often fail to see what Jesus does and can do for us. It seems as if we are constantly grasping, but never grabbing hold of that which changes us for the better.

    He walked on water which shows us that nothing can separates us from Him. He made that water into wine which shows us He can create something out of nothing. He ate and drank with people that we would never want to be caught around which shows us that we are all deserving of even the smallest of ...read more

    Decaf Christmas? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 5,497 views

    The reason we decaffeinate Christmas is because we don’t want Jesus intruding on our lives. Don’t want to admit that we need help. Little baby Jesus is OK, but he’d better not get out of the manger.

    This week a number of articles have come out, commenting on the push to get Christ out of Christmas. The best I read called this the decaffeination of Christmas. Carols that are all about trees, snow, reindeer, not about a baby born in a manger. Why do we do this? For some the story of ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020
     | 4,823 views

    There is no doubt that Jesus did a mighty act in delivering this demoniac from his bondage. There was a cost. There is always a cost involved. ... The response of those in the community of the Garsenes echoes how some people in world might have the same kind of response to the cost of redemption.

    THE COST OF REDEMPTION Text: Luke 8:26-39 This story is filled with all kinds of things that we could mention. Perhaps, the main things is the cost of redemption. What is that cost? Someone (Mel Lawrence) once said, “Redemption is God’s mighty act of delivering us from anything or anyone ...read more

    Slaves To Sons Series

    Contributed by Greg Powell on Aug 26, 2020
     | 5,499 views

    To be a slave your entire life is devastating and discouraging. To be under the guidance of a schoolmaster is frustrating and limiting. But to be a son or daughter, to have a Heavenly Father, that’s a relationship you can enjoy for eternity.

    INTRO: I want to start the message with an excerpt of an email I received a few weeks ago where someone shared a brief glimpse of their spiritual maturation in regard to the topics we’ve been centered on for the last couple months. I enjoyed it very much then, and believe it could serve as a great ...read more
