    Looking A Little Bit Crazy

    Contributed by Charles Jones on Jul 4, 2021
    based on 3 ratings
     | 8,909 views

    To some outsiders, it must look a little bit crazy. Cause all you talk about is God and Church. Why are you always trying to invite me to church? What's up with all of these stage lights, bands and video screens?

    Looking A Little Bit Crazy Mark 3:20-30 There was a photocopied sign that was posted inside a church office. It was one of those humorous slogans that people in different offices duplicate and pass among themselves. Most of us have seen this particular message, I suppose, but posted in a ...read more

    The Marvelous Gift Of Grace

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 7, 2019
     | 6,228 views

    Following his declaration of man's depravity and the love of God to meet our desperate need, Paul reveals the means of our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith unto good works. Works do not produce salvation, but they will follow genuine salvation.

    The Marvelous Gift of Grace Ephesians 2: 8-10 Over the past few weeks, we have considered the desperate situation of mankind. There is no doubt that we are all born in sin, separated from God and in danger of eternal condemnation because of sin. Thankfully, God understood man’s desperate need and ...read more

    In Christ, I Am...re-Created For Good Series

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Aug 17, 2018
     | 4,987 views

    We were dead in sin, but we are alive in Christ! It is by grace, through faith (the core of the gospel). But there is more: God re-created us to do good works for his glory.

    In Christ, I Am…Re-Created for Good—Ephesians 2:1-10 (Series on Ephesians: In Christ, I Am…) Verses 8 and 9 are the gospel in about 30 words, and you would do well to memorize them as a summary of the gospel. You might go through verse 10: (Reread Ephesians 2:8-10.) The gospel is good news. In ...read more

    Jesus Sat Down

     | 2,673 views

    After Jesus went to present His blood to His Father, He sat down on the right hand of His Father.

    So many of us in the body of Christ do not yet fully understand the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. We need a deep revelation from the Holy Spirit to help us to grasp what Jesus did for us all. Jesus came to restore the kingdom back to us and to redeem us all from the hands ...read more

    A Commitment To Grow

    Contributed by David Owens on Sep 19, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 19,230 views

    God desires that every Christian grow to maturity in Christ. Three areas that we often need to grow in are worship, witness and work.

    Introduction: A. Last Sunday, We spent some time trying to get a clear and simple vision of our God-given mission for our congregation. 1. I introduced a vision statement that I believe will give us a needed handle for pleasing God. 2. So what is it that God wants us to be as a church? God wants ...read more

    Getting A Clean Start On The New Year

    Contributed by James Wallace on Oct 27, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,715 views

    An encouragement to unbelievers to get a clean start on the new year by becoming forgiveness, cleansed by the grace and forgiveness people receive when they show their faith in Jesus, as the paralytic did in this story.

    Getting a Clean Start in the New Year Mark 2:1-12 Well, we’ve come to the end of one year, and the beginning of a new year. And, of course, we tend to look back at this point in the year to what has happened. And 2013 certainly has been an eventful year for the Wallace clan, climaxed of ...read more

    Paul is not focusing on sinful behavior we should avoid, but on exemplary behavior we should practice.

    24th or Last Sunday of the Year 2016 Extraordinary Form The five hundred year period since the end of the Renaissance has been marked by two events we Catholics can realistically call religious catastrophes.

    Called To Freedom

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Aug 5, 2023
     | 1,847 views

    So, what is this freedom Paul is speaking of? What do you do with freedom when you get it? Does freedom mean “party all the time like some might think?”

    Called to Freedom Galatians 5:13-26 Do you remember when as a child you could hardly wait until you grew up? I can remember many times when I would just think about how great it would be when I became a teenager. As a teenager, I thought I would be able to do so many things that I couldn’t do as a ...read more

    Labor Of Love

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Apr 21, 2023
     | 1,231 views

    Whenever and wherever we are doing God’s work, we are on holy ground. Wherever we find ourselves, we can make it holy by being God’s representative in that place.

    I know this isn’t Labor Day weekend. But it’s too important a topic to skip. It’s big in the news these days, what with unemployment still above 6%. We all know people who are looking for work - and have been for more than 6 months. But hey - work isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, right? How many ...read more

    We are all bondservants of Christ if we have yielded to His Lordship,

    Alba 6-25-2023 BONDSERVANTS OF CHRIST Ephesians 6:5-9 These days, if you go past most any business there is a sign that says, “Help Wanted”.

    Jesus And His Family Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 28, 2023
     | 2,309 views

    Bible is silent about the description of the family of Jesus. However, there are a few references to Joseph, Mary, and her children to learn a few things about the family of Jesus. Jesus was pictured as a young man walking to the Jordan for Baptism and nothing else is known to us.
