What Is A Real Christian?

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Apr 30, 2021

With cultural Christianity being the norm in America, nominal faith is what people see most often, and it’s what comes to mind when we tell people we’re a Christian. So, what is a "real" Christian? This message points out five traits.

I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing a story by Franklin Graham. He tells us, “Some years ago, I was in a cab when I asked the driver about his faith. He replied that he was a Christian, and I asked him how he became one. I’ll never forget his reply: ‘Oh, I was born a Christian’.” ...read more

"Looking For Some Empty Vessels!”

Contributed by Sean Dees on May 1, 2021

From these passages I find more than a story of the sustaining power of God, but I see this event as a type of prophecy to the outpouring of the Holy Ghost as prophesied by the latter prophet Joel in 2:28 and the fulfillment on the day of Pentecost.

Life After Death: Law, Eternity, And The Changed Mind

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

There are two pieces, at least two parts of the human experience that every human will partake of: being born, and dying. That's right. The death rate for humans is 100%. I don't think people like to be reminded of that. It's a shocking thing to consider in fact.

Helping Children Heal From Divorce

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 3, 2021

Marriage is the foundation from which a family is created. Children are born, and grow up in the gentle care and training provided by both mother and father.

Introduction Marriage is the foundation from which a family is created. Children are born, and grow up in the gentle care and training provided by both mother and father.

A Flawed Human Being Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 10, 2021

Samson was a man of extreme contradictions: flawed yet favored. This message explores his Calling and his Compromises drawing lessons for our own lives.

The title of today’s message is “A Flawed Human Being.” Do we have any flawed human beings here today? If so, this message is for you. If you are a perfected little angel, you probably won’t be able to identify with this sermon. One of the amazing truths in Scripture is that God’s loves flawed ...read more

Flawed Yet Favored Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 17, 2021

We can all relate to the inconsistencies in Samson's life to at least some degree. In this message we learn about the anointing of God; the consequences of sin and the potential benefits of God's correction, and the grace of God and how God's redemptive mercy.

We are learning from the life of Samson as recorded in Judges 13-16. In your personal time I encourage you to read those four chapters since we can’t take time to do that in these two sermons. Last week we examined the call God placed on Samson’s life before he was born. We saw the connection ...read more

Our Hope To Love Others (A Loving Hope)

Contributed by Cesar Datuin on Mar 15, 2022

How should we love others despite of an angry and vicious world around us? How can we have hope to love others just as God love them? May this exhortation give us the attitude towards loving and caring others for God.

Intro: This month is considered to be the love month of the year since we are celebrating Valentine’s Day every February and so everybody wanted to feel that love is in the air. Though for us Christian, this feeling or emotions of love should not be felt during this time only but in every day of ...read more

Beware The Shadows (John 13:21-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Mar 16, 2022

A practical call to avoid falling away. Don't live in sin-- it opens the door to Satan.

Let's start today by simply rereading from last week's passage, John 13:1-20. Our story today directly builds on these verses, and the easiest way back into John 13 is through a reminder of where we've been. John 13:1: (1) Now, before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that ...read more

The Kingdom of God Wed. - Oct. 27, 2004 Here's a statement that's going to rub some the wrong way: Man was not created to spend eternity in heaven: Man was created to spend eternity here on earth in the Garden of Eden. That was God's plan when He created the Garden. Eden was a kingdom ...read more

Mary, Mother Of Jesus

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Dec 10, 2021

God chose Mary of Nazareth to be the mother of His Son, the Savior of the world. He knew her not only by her actions, but also by her heart. What does God’s Word tell us about Mary?

Imagine you had the opportunity to choose a woman who would be the mother of the Son of God. You not only knew her by her actions, but also by the intents of her heart.

Jochebed And Other Women

Contributed by Dennis King on Dec 18, 2021

Which woman of the Old Testament Bible had three famous children? One of whom was Yekutiel? As a hint, she was the first woman in the Bible whose name is compounded with the name of Jehovah God. We didn't actually learn her godly name right away. She was just called a Levite woman.

The lady we will study first is Jochebed, a mother who was incredibly confident, creative, and courageous! Her son was, in my opinion, the major character in the Old Testament. Therefore, Jochebed may deserve more recognition than she has been previously given. Our information of her is quite ...read more
