Augustine’s 5 Ways...

Title: Pleasing God Text: Heb 11:4-6. Main Point of the Text: Pleasing God requires that we believe in him. That means living like it!

Prayer Nots Series

Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 25, 2008

What is your attitude when you pray? Before Jesus tells us how to pray, He tells us how not to pray.

“The highest activity of the human soul.” That’s what the great expository preacher Martyn Lloyd-Jones said about prayer. Prayer is one of the most important things we will ever do in our relationship with the Lord. It is so essential to who we are as Christians that one commentator compared it ...read more

Shaping The Clay Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 24, 2008

For Memorial Day/Christian Legacy Sunday: We must not protect the vessel in which the Gospel is carried more than the Gospel itself. The Gospel is power; the vessel must be impervious to popularity, a good transporter. Legacy giving encouraged.

I am not much of a gardener. The Scripture says that there is a time to plant and a time to pluck up what is planted, but I must tell you that I don’t know the difference. I pluck up only what I am told to pluck up, because I don’t know a weed from a willow. However, the mistress of our little ...read more

Walking As Children Of The Light

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on May 26, 2008

Three errors today’s Christians make: 1. Seeing salvation merely as a legal transaction. 2. Believing that being right is more important than treating other people right. 3. Living out of fear rather than faith.

Walking as Children of the Light Mark 10:32-37 In the Scripture today we have one example of many where the disciples simply do not “get it.” Jesus has just expressed what is facing him, and is more vulnerable than at any other time of his life. But the disciples can only think of themselves. ...read more

The Abiding Life Series

Contributed by Guy Mcgraw on Jun 4, 2012

Would you describe your spiritual life as an abiding life? Is your Christianity something you do at specified moments such as Sunday mornings or is it something you live out each day?

We are going to look at a passage in 1 John when John the Apostle gives a challenge regarding the kind of lives those he was writing to were living. This challenge helps us 2,000 years later to understand what the Christian life is supposed to be about. Would you describe your spiritual life as an ...read more

How Can I Know I Am Saved?

Contributed by Noel Atkinson on May 30, 2010

1 John part 1 ‘How may I know I am saved?’ Before I start my sermon this week I want to start by saying I am only talking about your personal salvation. I am not talking about salvation in general. Romans 10: 6 – 9 is quite clear that it is God’s decision who will enter ...read more

Wasted Time And Wasted Prayers

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 22, 2022

In this life we are all allotted so many days, weeks, months and years. These days, weeks, months and years are a gift from almighty God.

What we do with this gift is left entirely up to us. Because of this gift of time this is why there is going to be a judgment to give an account of what we have done with our time. Some will have to give account for their teens, 20 years, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 or a 100 years. • But we must ...read more

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

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

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

The Christmas That Wasn't Series

Contributed by James Wallace on Jan 1, 2021

The first Christmas was the Christmas that wasn't--at least in Jerusalem, the city that the Great King and Messiah came to save, and to rule from. Pagan visitors from far away had to tell them of the great thing that had happened in their midst.

Back in November, Jeanie and I received a newsletter from an organization called SAT-7. SAT, I assume stands for satellite, because that is the means by which they broadcast the Gospel via television programs into Muslim dominated countries in the Middle East.
