Tending Your Garden Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jan 16, 2012

God created man and planted a garden for him in Eden. What lessons can I learn about what God expects of me from what God did for Adam?

Someone once wrote a poem about their garden: "Our radishes are puny things; Our peas and beans are dying; And as for the potatoes, well, those things aren't even trying And that's the way our garden grows - I tell myself, "Who needs it?" But down inside, it hurts to have it bite the hand... ...read more

A Good Designer Series

Contributed by Curry Pikkaart on Nov 2, 2013

The parable of the talents begins and ends with the master. Perhaps it is not about the talents, then, but the master.

“Connected: A Good Designer” Ephesians 4:7-13; Mathew 25:14-30 Some labels miss the point and purpose of their product’s existence. For example, a hair dryer had this instruction label: “Don’t use while sleeping.” Or consider this one on a toilet at a public ...read more

Homosexuality -- What If?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Mar 16, 2016

Most practicing homosexuals say they were born that way. But we know from scripture that is not true. Why, then, would a person believe he or she is born a homosexual. This message looks at one possibility.

For many years I have taught that a person is not born into this world a homosexual or transsexual. The Bible says God created the human race male and female. For me that ended the discussion. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness … So God created man in his image, in the ...read more

What Jesus saw on Palm Sunday were people whose worship was "fruitless, fraudulent and faithless"

You know, Palm Sunday is kind of a strange day to me. It’s hard to explain, but today is kind of an enigma: - We call it “Palm Sunday.” - It seems like it should be a special day – a “holiday.” And in some ways it is - It is marked every year on the ...read more

You know, over the last few years we experienced a lot of division in the church. Why? Because some men and women have started to move away from God's Word, the Bible. They look at the Bible, and then they only believe those verses that they like - the rest of it, they push it out, and then... ...read more

Harmony And Fire

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 19, 2022

Luke 12:49-53 is paradoxical. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, but in this passage, He says He is bringing division. This sermon explores how this fits with the overall message of Luke.

Harmony and Fire I. TEXT: Luke 12:49-53 (NRSV) “I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what stress I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth?

No Graven Image: The Curse Of Idolatry Series

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Nov 21, 2022

God does not share His glory. He alone is to be worshipped, revered, and honored as King and God. The fall of the nation of Israel is a grim reminder of how deeply idolatry offends God. He both exposed and judged their sin.
