    “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

    This message actually is about setting goals rather than making resolutions. What do you need to change?

    This is the last Sunday in 2008. That’s hard to believe isn’t it? It seems like the years are flying by faster than ever... Around this time every year we start thinking about changes and many of you start thinking through resolutions. Believe it or not, this year, I don’t have a huge list of ...read more

    You Make Pizza, One Layer At A Time

    Contributed by James Kirkland on Jan 28, 2009
     | 5,102 views

    Our spiritual life must grow as we grow in the Lord. You don’t start with a finished pizza, you must continue to add each layer until you put it in the oven.

    You make Pizza, one layer at a time. Pizza, what a topic to preach about? I suppose that the only real connection we have with pizza and the church is that pizza came from Italy and Paul’s preaching took him to Italy. That is a pretty far stretch, or is it? Ancient Greeks ate flat, baked bread with ...read more

    When God doesn’t make sense, He’s on the move.

    There are two kinds of rollercoaster riders. The first kind gets in the car with hesitation and fear. They white-knuckle the lap bar in a death grip and either sit there in complete silence or scream their heads off the entire time. In this case, the rollercoaster produced anxiety and nausea. ...read more

    Apart from faith in Christ, we are unable to live a life of righteousness…bringing to fruition the Kingdom of God. Jesus reveals this truth to Nicodemus.

    Introduction: Most of us…especially us men…don’t like to admit it when we can’t accomplish something. This doesn’t apply to everything, but it certainly does apply to some things…especially those things that we believe we can do. Perhaps we have trained our whole lives to do something.

    Jesus said that the Father is "pleased" to give us the Kingdom. That's significant in giving us confidence in His willingness to back us as we move forward for the Kingdom.

    A QUESTION: Was the church a good plan? - We look around at the questionable things that sometimes happen in the name of the church and have to wonder, “Was this a good idea?” I know I’ve wondered. - Is God up there shaking His head at us? What is God’s view of the ...read more

    Making Something Good Out Of Something Bad

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 10, 2016
     | 7,111 views

    God is never responsible for evil acts, but he is so wise that he uses evil acts to accomplish his good purposes. God oversees our wicked actions. No sin happens that God does not deliberately allow.

    God can take something evil and use it for his glory. Does that seem strange to you? Well, it is strange, but we must remember that God works in ways that may seem to be strange to us. In the reading we heard from the Book of Judges a few minutes ago, we heard an example of how God takes ...read more

    These two texts (found in Numbers 27:1-11 and Numbers 36:1-13) concerning the daughters of Zelophedad remind us that God's grace makes space for the left out, locked out and marginalized.

    Then the daughters of Zelophehad came forward. Zelophehad was son of Hepher son of Gilead son of Machir son of Manasseh son of Joseph, a member of the Manassite clans. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2They stood before Moses, Eleazar the priest, the ...read more
