Memorial Day is tomorrow, and this morning I’m going to be sharing from a message I’ve entitled “Lessons from a Soldier.” So, let me get started by sharing a brief history of Memorial Day. “In 1868, General John A. Logan, then president of the Grand Army of the Republic, declared that May 30th ...read more

On The Bubble Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

I have good news for you today: the Bible says God cannot lie (Titus 1:2). In a world full of spin and where people doctor the truth, the God of the Bible is total 100% truth. God is so much truth, the Bible even substitutes “amen” for God’s name.

Good morning to our church family who are joining us online. Allow me to welcome some friends and faces who are watching us our services online. We are glad to have you join us. Just a reminder that you can call and speak to a pastor this morning at the numbers listed on your screen. The ...read more

Hallowed Be Your Name Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Anyone who is serious about Jesus will want to grow in prayer. One of the quickest ways to check the health of your spiritual life is to answer this question: How’s your prayer life?

Every faith has some form of prayer. Muslims stop whatever they’re doing five times a day to pray as you’ll hear the wailing cries of prayer callers in many Asian cities. Incas and Aztecs went so far as to sacrifice humans in order to attract their gods’ attention. And millions of people who attend ...read more

Developing A Passion For Others Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

What makes feet beautiful is when they become leathery, dusty, gnarled in taking the Gospel across the street… across the fence post… we must go across our community… across the country… and across the continents.

Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis (July 1, 1818 – August 13, 1865) was a Hungarian physician now known as an early pioneer of antiseptic procedures. He is known as the savior of the mothers.

Encouraging Dads To Tell Their Story Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 8, 2021

You see, the gospel is not just something you hold onto but the gospel has its hold on you. The power of the Gospel on a person is most evident when you see its hold on a person.

Happy Father’s Day! Dads, there are too few good fathers around. Dads, I want to speak to encourage you to deepen your commitment to living a life of integrity in Christ. To know Jesus is to have a story of how you came to know Jesus. This story is often referred to as your “testimony.” In fact, ...read more

God Is Bigger Than My Selfishness Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Fast food restaurants ask you, “Would you like to supersize your drink?” Warehouse stores sell Costco and Sam’s Club offer us items in bulk – really big sizes. It seems like the only item in modern day life that hasn’t been upgraded is God.

Today, we continue a short 4-week series entitled God is Bigger. Pause for a moment because I want everyone to hear this question: How big is your God? How capable is God in your mind? J.B. Phillips wrote a book that he gave a title that fascinates me entitled, Your God Is Too Small. He writes, ...read more

Gluttony: Dieting's Ugly Stepsister Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

The Bible also warns us about the problems food can be for us. First, food can become “god replacement,” or an idol.

We continue our series on the Seven Deadly Sins of Family this morning by looking at gluttony. Speaking on gluttony is really personal for all of us. Some of you have a lifelong battle for power and control with food. This impacts the way we look and the way we feel about ourselves. Yet, we are ...read more

The Chilling Story Of A Stingy Man Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Do You Love Sinners? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021

Think of this: what if the first person to meet the younger brother was the older brother. Think of the anger that would poured out his mouth: “You have a lot of nerve showing up here.”

Today, we complete a three-week look at one of the most famous of all of Jesus’ teachings – The Parable of the Prodigal Son. This is a story that badly needs rescuing for many, if not most, stop the story when the younger son returns. But Jesus continues the story to an unfinished conclusion. This ...read more

Shake The Dust Off Your Feet Series

Ruth: Refugee With A Human Face

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Jun 21, 2021

The Book of Ruth doesn't get much attention, but it can remind us that God sees refugees and can use them in his purposes.

I imagine we probably all have a favorite book of the Bible. The gospels should be high on everyone’s list because they tell us the story of Jesus. And when the church’s heart and mind are fixed on Jesus, everything comes together. When we lose sight of Jesus things go wrong. Luke is my ...read more

A Family Of Harmony: Husbands, Wives, And Children

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

God, Are You Punishing Me?

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

There are certain degrees of grace that are never produced in a believer until he is severely tempted. Satan is sent into the kitchen to act as God’s dishwasher. Sometimes it is Satan’s special scouring that makes God’s finest china

2020 has been a roller coaster ride, hasn’t it? Almost everyone thinks our world is in chaos in 2020. It’s as if our world is a snow-globe shaking up and down. During this pandemic, we have seen empty streets, empty shelves in supermarkets, empty stadiums, and empty churches. These are unsettling ...read more
