    Hallowed Be Your Name Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 4,834 views

    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

    When You're The Problem: The Fallout Of A Self-Centered Existence Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021
     | 2,915 views

    Our aim this morning is to sniff out the barnacles of pride inside of each us. Today’s Big Idea: Pride causes division; humility draws the gaze of God.

    Paul writes to the church at Corinth to help genuine believers solve their divisions. When you read today’s words from Paul to the church at Corinth, you need to prepare for the knife. Paul writes as one who is taking a scalpel in hand to perform surgery on the church he founded by the grace of ...read more

    Purposeful Living For Perilous Times Series

     | 8,542 views

    Because the end is near… pray, love, and serve.

    Honestly, many of us are little afraid of closely examining the Bible’s message on the future. If we focus on the end times too long, we are afraid of turning into a guy walking around the city with a sandwich board yelling about judgment and the end of time. We easily get confused when reading ...read more

    God Is Bigger Than My Selfishness Series

    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

    This rich man took his arrogance with him to the other side of the grave. If he knew Lazarus’ name in hell, wouldn't he also know about Lazarus’ pitiful condition on earth?

    Jesus Loves Sinners Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 9, 2021
     | 4,379 views

    Jesus is the shepherd who loves the sheep whose performance is the worst. He loves in spite of your poor obedience, your poor performance. No one has been more inclusive of sinners than Jesus.

    Jesus tells us three stories that arrives at a climax with a return of a son to his family and his father. These three stories, finding a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son, form a pyramid where the three show us the same truth but each side shows a different shade and nuance to God’s love. ...read more

    What Does The Bible Say About Divorce? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,002 views

    Self-centeredness is the main problem for marriages. If you’re married, it’s the main problem in your marriage. If you’re not married, it will be the main problem if you ever get married. If you’re divorced, it probably was the main problem in the marriage you left.

    Have you heard the one about Adam and his “spare rib”? As you know, in the beginning God made Adam and put him in paradise. Adam was allowed to enjoy all the many wonders of the Garden of Eden and was given the job of naming all the animals. But after he had named them-rather a long task – there ...read more

    Today, I want to be your tour guide to Heaven. Be aware, human language has its limits. And the beauty, the magnificence and the joy set before you will stretch the very limits of human thought and our communication skills.

    And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their ...read more

    Can I Really Believe Jesus Is Who He Says He Is? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021
     | 2,055 views

    Had your brother said, “I’m God. I’m the Lord. And I’m here to die for the sins of the world,” you wouldn’t readily believe Him either. But after Jesus rose from the grave, we see Jesus’ mother, Mary, worshipping Him. We also see his own brothers, James and Jude, worshipping as well.

    Jesus’ message was designed for religious outsiders. All throughout today’s message, I’m going to be talking about the gospel. The gospel is Jesus. The gospel is the message of Jesus. If you’re regularly a part of our church family, I’ve moved from the end of Luke 5, last week, to Luke 8, this ...read more

    God created every person on purpose and put us in a place to live out His purposes.

    Our perspective is important when seeking to understand something. I like the feature on Google Earth which provides a panoramic view, or the big picture of our world and then allows you to zoom in to the exact address you are looking for.

    Some Trust In Chariots? The Potential Of The Seed.

    Contributed by Wade Martin Hughes, Sr on Jan 21, 2023
     | 2,933 views

    Seems many today say there is no trust left. Not so... we trust elevators, we trust cars, we batteries --- why do we refuse to trust God's plan. God desires to bless us when we trust His Word.

    SOME TRUST IN CHARIOTS: THE POTENTIAL OF THE SEED… By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (YouTube: Wade Hughes) Psalm 20:7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

    The Songs Of Ascent – Part 3 – Psalm 121 – Can You Know The Lord Who Helps, Keeps And Guards? Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Feb 1, 2023
     | 2,420 views

    We have a faithful God who keeps us always. The Lord will guard all our ways, right through adversity. The testing of faith can only happen in a storm. It will never happen when all is calm and gentle. Angels have charge over us – so much help God has given to us.

    THE SONGS OF ASCENT – PART 3 – PSALM 121 – CAN YOU KNOW THE LORD WHO HELPS, KEEPS AND GUARDS? [A]. FROM WHERE DO I FIND MY HELP? {{Psalm 121:1 “I will lift up my eyes to the mountains.
