    "How To Make Friends And Influence People" has been in print for over 70 yrs. It's popular because it addresses how to make friends. But Colossians tells us God's fool-proof way to make friends

    If there was ever time that the body of Christ needed to be encouraged, it is now. This message was delivered in a little over an hour and looked at four passages from Isaiah. A short series could be developed focusing on each of the passages.

    Turn with me to James 1:2. “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations.” And we know the word “temptation” means “test.” And we know the test we are to count as joy is when Satan tries to get us to give up, to give in or to get out when it relates to God and His Word. Now, ...read more

    - I believe some of the greatest stories for this pandemic, is all the outpouring of help & love. - If the virus had not have come, I do not believe people would have noticed others like they do now.

    Sermon- What brings out the best in people? - If you’re like me, I like to watch the mystery science shows. They present a mystery & then give you scenarios of what that something could be. They finally end up with showing you what the mystery is. Q- What’s the point of their ...read more

    I don’t know what you will say about me when I am gone, but I like what could be said about John the Baptist, and I wish that could be said about me. He was a man who pointed people to Christ.

    Introduction The Bible says in the Book of James that life is like a vapor that appears for a little while and then disappears. The longer that I live, I realize the truth to that statement. I went to bed one night, a young man, and it seems like I woke up an old man. Time just disappeared. I am ...read more

    Isaiah wrote Isaiah 40 to teach Israel that comfort is found in the Messiah who is a sovereign Shepherd, an incomparable Creator, and a strengthening Savior.

    Opening thought: Ever had someone tell you to get out of your comfort zone? Those who say that want you to get out of your complacency, drop the laziness, get moving, do something you’ve never done before, try something risky. In today’s passage, Isaiah encourages us to find a real ...read more

    You will identify 2 types of rest, v.28 says: I will give you rest, In v.29 says: you will find rest. So there is a rest god gives you, and there is a rest you will find. v.30 god is saying here, my work my business is easy.

    Jesus was explaining in this scripture as he taught the people something fundamental about the work of the ministry. The first thing he told them is: COME UNTO ME all ye that labour and are hearty laden, that is how we were all before we come to know Christ. We were laden with Sins, with ...read more

    We have a choice. We can live in the grasp of sin and evil, or we can give our hearts over to Jesus. He gave everything He had, including his life, to rescue us from sin, so it’s only fair that we give Him everything we have, including our lives.

    John's most basic concern is to give this church confidence again in what they have believed about Jesus. And he reminds them that this message is carried by the church that listens to the Apostles, and it isn't found anywhere else.

    Sermon by Rev John Altmann There are a number of ways that people leave churches, for both good and bad reasons. A good reason to leave is to be sent out to serve in another place. We've seen that recently with Heather and Adam. They spent two years with us practicing their ministry, trying things ...read more
