Living As The Church

Contributed by Mark Engler on Jan 23, 2015

We can't be the church as individuals, yet in the American church today many have the mentality of being lone rangers. If we are going to be the church that God intended we must be committed to the church and to each other.

Living As The Church Ephesians 4:1-16 INTRO: Have you ever read the Gospels and looked for the church? If you haven’t you should try it sometime. But I can tell you that you will not find much about church in the Gospels. Mark, Luke, and John don’t even mention the church and the ...read more

Punishment Of A Nation Series

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jan 30, 2023

Every nation has need of discipline. God will punish an evil nation for disobedience by unrighteous leadership. Look at the nation of Judah and God's punishment of them. Yet, God will protect and comfort the righteous in captivity.

As Americans, we have not seen a complete overthrow of our nation’s leadership. We have witnessed many attempts to assassinate our presidents, with a few successes. Our form of government seems to be stable. The democracy in which we live has been built upon Godly principles and appears to be a ...read more

Eeyore Or Winnie - Which Will You Be? Series

Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 13, 2007

Some of the tribes of Israel had a choice of how they conquered their land. It’s a picture for us too as we seek to overcome the flesh and have victory over the enemy.

One of my favorite stories as a boy was Winnie the Pooh by A A Milne. The characters are so engaging and the stories so fun. Today I want to focus on two characters from Winnie The Pooh that we find in Joshua chapters 16 - 19. The first is Eeyore. To Eeyore, the sky is always black and ...read more

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025

This message covers important material. Our lives must be committed to Christ and we DO NOT keep sinning just because grace covers that. That is evil. We are to be slaves to righteousness because we have been set free. However some have a foot in both camps. Is that possible?

Christian Dignity Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

Every nobody can become somebody, and that is why everybody is worthy of investment. This is God's view of man, for it was while we were yet sinners that Christ died for the ungodly. God is no haphazard and foolish investor.

An old business man once spoke at his club and told of how he made an investment which brought him great dividends, but for which he did not have to pay a cent of taxes. One night as he closed his store he found a dirty boy of 12 crouched against the building trying to protect himself from the ...read more
