Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jul 10, 2023

“Oh why didn’t I listen!?" The rich man cries out from the depths of hell, to this very day in 2023. He needed salvation dearly but could not see it.

Blinded By Pride Series

Who Calls?

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 30, 2023

Hearing and answering God's call has four parts in two pairs. We need to recognize who God is, and who we are, and after being cleansed, we must respond.

Do you ever screen your calls? By that I mean do you look to see who’s calling before you answer? I answer most of my calls right when they happen unless it’s tagged “scam likely” or I’m driving (I haven’t hooked up my Bluetooth yet) or if the phone is in the other room or if I accidentally left it ...read more

"dear God, Please Give Me..."

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Jul 31, 2023

If God offered to give you whatever you wanted, what would you ask for? Solomon teaches us how to ask for true riches.

Sermon # 46 - Be A Son, Not A Slave Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 4, 2023

God has called us to be His sons and daughters, but it is possible that we can live like slaves not understanding our position in Christ. May we be freed from every enslavement so we can enjoy the rights to be the true sons and daughters of God.

We read in Romans 8:15, For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

The Lesson "ears To Hear" Teaches Us

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Aug 8, 2023

Liberal Theology In The Churches – Address Number 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 20, 2022

This first talk in a short series is about Liberal Theology and beliefs. The Church is under the greatest attack since the early times with so much denial in an already evil world, also the enemy of the Church. Liberal thinking of denial and rejection is entering the churches.

Overcoming Heartbreak

Contributed by Jeff Taylor on Oct 20, 2022

What do we do when we suffer hurt? How do we overcome past hurts? And how do we do it the way God wants us to? As we look at Romans 12, we will learn from Paul how to overcome hurts, how to be a true child of God and move past the pain.

Romans chapter 12 is where I want to start today. I want to start here because I believe there's something here we constantly overlook when we read part of this chapter. We all know what the first 2 verses say, 1 "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present ...read more
