    Finding Our Way Back

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on May 9, 2025
     | 519 views

    They’ll say that this verse cannot be applied to us today, but my response to that is, “Doesn’t the Bible tell us that everything that is recorded in the past was given to us today as an example?”

    Finding Our Way Back 2 Chronicles 7:14 Our Sunday School lesson today covered 2 Chronicles 7:1-7, 11 which describes the conclusion of Solomon's dedication of the temple. Where after Solomon’s prayer of dedication, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and sacrifices. The ...read more

    Acts 2:42 is not merely a record of the past; it serves as a Blueprint for cultivating community and faith. By embracing these practices, you invite a transformative journey that reflects the vitality and spirit of the early church.

    Picture a cozy, inviting living room filled with close friends, heartfelt conversations, and laughter that nourishes the soul. This image captures the spirit of the early church as described in Acts 2:42. Believers came together with purpose—devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching, sharing in ...read more

    Powerless Religion Or Spirit-Filled Life

     | 602 views

    The sermon challenges believers to reject hollow religiosity and instead pursue a Spirit-filled life marked by inward transformation, daily surrender, and the visible fruit of the Holy Spirit.

    Powerless Religion or Spirit-Filled Life 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Ephesians 5:15-18; Galatians 5:22-26 In an age when appearance often replaces authenticity, and spiritual reputation can mask spiritual emptiness, we must ask ourselves how does one identify the highly religious among us? Is it not often ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at the holiness of God and how we should respond to that holiness.

    I’m not real big on the whole idea of talk-shows. But one show I saw a number of years ago was dealing with the issue of school violence. This was after the string of high school shootings that terrified parents and teachers alike. The question that was asked is why are these kids doing this? ...read more

     | 4,241 views

    We know little about life after death, but we do know that heaven is not possessing things, that hell is about separation from God, and that the love of God will reach even to the most alienated.

    We think that having things will make us happy. The truth is that happiness comes from sharing what you have with someone you love. Fulfillment is not measured by how much you have. Genuine fulfillment is measured by who you have it with. That is true in this life. I believe that is also true ...read more

    This message deals with the rapture of the church; when is it? Where do we go? What happens to us? What will we do afterward?

    Turn with me to 1.Corinthians 15:51-58. Today, we will take up a topic which was recommended to me by a member of this church. Now some preachers do not like for members to recommend sermon topics to them, but I do. I may not preach them all, but I will prayerfully consider any topic that any of ...read more
