Tcb (Taking Care Of Business) - Pt. 4 - Sacrifice

Contributed by Steve Ely on Oct 1, 2008

Elvis put it on everything . . . rings, necklaces, even his jet. It was more than the name of his band, it was his slogan. TCB is more than a slogan for us. It is our misson. This examination of our daily duties as priests will help you TCB!

TCB Part 4 In the 1950’s, Elvis led the rock n roll revolution. In the 1960’s he concentrated on his successful movie career.

Don’t Worry, Be Happy

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 4, 2015

It is not in satisfying our craving to have more and more that we have abundant life. No, it is in serving God and loving others as we love ourselves that abundant life is gained and lived. When we give, we show that Christ is our treasure.

What do we really need? Our society is based on acquisition of things, especially wealth. We are concerned about what we do not have, especially people who are considered to be “have not”. Jesus is saying that it doesn’t matter how hard we try to get things, we can’t ...read more

Sweet Solitude

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Aug 11, 2015

Nowadays it is getting harder and harder to discern the truth as more and more people are set on re-defining it for us. This twisting of the truth can be all straightened out when we seek the Holy Spirit in our lives and spend time alone with Him.

Message: Last week before I headed out to Sunday morning service I caught a bit of Dr. Charles Stanley’s message on Solitude and I thought what a great subject. So this morning I’m going to give you my take on the same subject but I thank Dr. Stanley for the inspiration. God created a ...read more

Can You Identify God? Series

Contributed by Mark Aarssen on Feb 4, 2016

Without a knowledge of God you would have no concern at all about the great hereafter. So by learning who God is we discover that there is so much more beyond our reach more than we could ever hope to grasp.

Message: Did you know that when Jesus walked upon the earth He had an identify problem? Not that anyone had stolen His identity like people do today but Jesus knew that people very close to Him were unsure as to who He truly was. It came up for the Disciples in Matthew's Gospel and it is here ...read more

Contributed by Mark Opperman on Sep 10, 2008

The Church In Jerusalem

Contributed by Bob Soulliere on Feb 6, 2010

Contributed by Sean Harder on Jun 16, 2010

The Great Betrayal

Contributed by Brian Bill on Feb 5, 2018

Judas first stole a few shekels and then made some more wrong choices until he was pulled deeper and deeper into depravity. Be careful about minimizing your sins because they may lead you to something even darker and more destructive.

The month of February reminds me of my candidating weekend at Edgewood five years ago when you were checking me out and I was checking you out to see how God might be leading each of us. I think I preached at least five times, attended a number of groups and met with a ton of people. I still ...read more
