    Be sure your sins will find you out. Whether it was a duck or David sin always has its consequences.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART O LORD Psalm 51 A little boy visiting his grandparents was given his first slingshot made by his grandfather. He practiced trying to hit a tin can, but he could never hit it. As he walked across the yard he saw Grandma’s pet duck. On an impulse he took aim and let fly. ...read more

    This is the introduction sermon to a new series on the descriptive names of Jesus.

    The Names of Jesus Introduction Beginning next year we’ll be starting a new series entitled, “The Names of Jesus.” There are somewhere over 50 names that have been attributed to Jesus, many of them are the same names that have been attributed to God, which is of little wonder seeing that Jesus ...read more

    Therefore Don't Let Anyone Judge You (Lessons On Colossians) Series

     | 4,454 views

    Somehow, adhering to the religious routine inflates the ego and makes a person content in his self-righteousness.

    Following Jesus, My Decision For Baptism Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Oct 14, 2022
     | 2,111 views

    Philip was doing a great work in Samaria when the Holy Spirit sent him on what seemed a strange mission: go to Gaza, a desert region, and then get into a chariot. He obeyed, an Ethiopian official believed, and followed the Lord in baptism.

    Foreword: Full disclosure, I am a Southern Baptist and present this message from that perspective. Water baptism is part of the Great Commission (Matthew 28, Mark 16, e.g.) and is mentioned in connection with belief and with becoming a disciple. It is readily admitted there are others who hold ...read more

    Jesus Makes Bitter Better.

    Only Jesus can take the bitter waters, the worst of life's circumstances that come to poison us and destroy us, and make us better.

    As a couple exchanges their vows,( those vows include these words) for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, for better for worse. It could also be said: for better or bitter. Or bitter or sweet. Life just has some bitterness built into it. Everyone comes to bitter waters at some point in ...read more

    Name Dropping

    If your cry of “Lord, Lord,” is a cry for help, not a boast of power, his answer is, “Come unto me.”

    I could have called this sermon Identity Theft, or Forged Documents, or Illegal Entry, or any one of a number of buzz-words regarding one of today’s hot political topics, illegal immigration. Because this passage is about trying to get something you don’t deserve by pretending to be someone you’re ...read more

    Don't Judge Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 5, 2022
     | 2,504 views

    God does not give human beings authority to judge the righteousness of others using our preferences as the standard. None of us are perfectly righteous ourselves. We are in no position to pronounce judgment because we can be guilty of sin.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:1-6 NIV (Don't Judge) 1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no ...read more

    Thank You For Serving!

    Contributed by Je Layugan on Apr 11, 2022
     | 5,779 views

    Why is serving very important and what should be our motivation? The answers lie in that very powerful scene in which Jesus washed the feet of His disciples. Jesus mandated us to live by (symbolically) washing one another’s feet, (literally) serving one another.

    INTRODUCTION – The 80/20 Rule in the Church We loved to be served. - We tend to get angry when we ordered something and not served on time. - We demand to talk to the manager when we are not satisfied with the service provided to us. - We grumble when our expectation of service is not met. To be ...read more

    Fifth Commandment (5 Of 12)

    Again I want to remind you that God has just delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage. They could not deliver themselves, but God, by His marvelous grace delivered them.

    Now, as a new nation was beginning to be established, God gave these laws to them so they would know how to govern themselves. Why? Because a country cannot exist without regulations and laws. Some people today feel these laws are now archaic. Illus:Those who feel that we are past the age ...read more

    The Power Of The Tongue

    Contributed by Dennis King on Jul 10, 2021
     | 5,168 views

    There have never been words spoken more powerfully than in the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth.

    The spoken word can be extremely powerful. When humans speak, it can literally mean life or death. If I mention a few words of famous speeches, most senior Americans can readily recall the heart of the message. As time regressive examples: “I have a dream,” by Martin Luther King, 1963. Next, “Ask ...read more

     | 16,863 views

    In the face of the Coronavirus Pandemic, we have the power to choose our response. When we choose Faith Over Fear - Wisdom Over Worry - And Prayer Over Panic -- we can experience the “PEACE OF GOD, WHICH SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING” that we read about in PHILIPPIANS 4:7.

    And We Know

    Contributed by Perry Greene on May 24, 2021
     | 4,219 views

    There are many things going on right now that are not "good." In fact, evil seems to be winning. Yet God has a knack for making things work out for good instead of evil.

    28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.

    As Christians, are we ready to face the trying times ahead? All Scripture quotes are from the NASB.

    We are looking at the Signs of Times. A person must be dumb, deaf, and blind, to miss the what is happening in today’s world, all around us. It was no different in Jesus’ day. The high and mighty religious officials were asking Jesus for sign and Jesus made this statement to the Pharisees and ...read more
