Our Tawdry Little Secret

Contributed by Michael Stark on Jan 24, 2011

As we fulfil the Great Commission, we will reach out to women who have had abortions. How shall we treat them? Within our congregations are women who have aborted. How will we minister to them? The message is a plea to deal boldly with sin.

“Uriah said to David, ‘The ark and Israel and Judah dwell in booths, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are camping in the open field.

My Month Of Discipleship -

Contributed by Pastor Amos Dele Dada on Jun 10, 2020

It is with great delight that I welcome you to our month of discipleship. No doubt Jesus ministered to multitudes but he always spends more time with his disciples for obvious reasons. Jesus wants us to be his disciples and as his disciples he wants us to disciple the nations.

Fasting Plus Prayer Plus Faith Equals God Being With Us

Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 28, 2015

If we are in Christ, God will speak to others through us. God will tear down our shells or walls and then we can discover what our ministry passion is-i.e. teenagers, the elderly or drug addicts. God calls on us to minister to those in need.

In the reading from Ezra 8:21-36, Ezra and the Jews are returning to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon, just like the Jews travelled to the Promised Land under the leadership of Moses and Joshua.

A Baptism Of New Life Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Jan 10, 2012

Giving Honor Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 2, 2021

David chose to invite Mephibosheth to the king's table and took care of all his needs. Why would he do this and what can we learn from his example? Check out these thoughts from Scott Jewell, our Family Minister.

How To Stand When It Is Difficult To Stand (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 9, 2021

Preaching is a fascinating career. When a preacher first starts to preach, he soon begins to think he knows all about preaching. Then, after 5 or 10 years, he discovers how very little he knows about being a minister of the gospel.

What a tremendous advantage it is to have a veteran minister take him under his wings, and teach him things he needs to know. Illus: Such is the case, when Dr. Odell Belger was starting in the ministry, as a young man in his mid twenties. When he was called to a church, the church had just had a ...read more

It seems most appropriate today, being my first time here, to establish common ground.
