The Pursuit Of Ministry Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Oct 8, 2020

Things have changed much since the first century, and yet much remains the same. Paul realized the danger of majoring on the minor and minoring on the major. His insight still speaks for ministries today.

The Pursuit of Ministry 1 Thessalonians 2: 4-9 We have spent much time laying the groundwork for our study in this precious book. Paul was well aware of the faithfulness and influence the church in Thessalonica had on those around them. He was encouraged with the presence of their faith, ...read more

Love Casts Out All Fear

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 23, 2020

As believers abandon this world and seek after God's perfect love, they will find that they have nothing to fear. God's unconditional love grants us peace of heart and mind.

I BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE MANAGED TO REACH A SHAMEFUL MILESTONE IN THE UNITED STATES. WE HAVE BECOME “PHOBIA” CRAZY AND HAVE DECLARED “PHOBI-WARFARE” WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING THAT APPARENTLY OFFENDS US! WHEN WE DECLARE SUCH “OFFENSE,” WE STAGE OUR OVER-DRAMATIC, THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE TO LET ...read more

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar.

Unexpected Hope Series

Contributed by Rich Mccaskill on Jul 21, 2020

In our confusing and broken world, we can still have hope because of Jesus.

My own journey of hopelessness began when I was 15. As much as I wanted to believe in God, I could not. I could relate to Tolstoy who recounts an "old Eastern fable about a traveler who was taken by surprise in the steppes by a raging wild beast. Trying to save himself from the beast, the ...read more

There Are No Advantages To Sin

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 27, 2021

The Scriptures are filled with illustrations of people who learned the hard way and oftentimes too late that sinful actions carry a high price and prove to be of no advantage to anyone. What, then, is your excuse?

The Bible has never been shy or unapologetic when it comes to exposing the sins, deceit, and wickedness of fallen humanity and our war against the righteousness and holiness of God. The Bible is open and blunt about the penalty for sin, but has also shown that the Lord God is not willing that ...read more

"Christ's Joy In You"

Contributed by Ken Sauer on May 18, 2017

A sermon for Confirmation Sunday.

“Christ’s Joy in You” John 15:1-11 I think Jesus Christ was the most joy-filled human to ever walk the earth. Why do I say this? Think about it, Jesus didn’t worry about His life—what He would eat or drink, or what He would wear. He trusted His Father in heaven. He was able to love—even ...read more

Blessed To Be A Blessing

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 12, 2017

God chose Abraham to father a nation. He didn't always get it right. But he, along with his wife Sarah, teach us valuable lessons: to trust in God's sovereignty, to wait for God's timing, and to follow God's leading as we walk by faith.

Genesis 12:1-4 Blessed to be a Blessing Do you ever wonder why God seems to bless some people with extra helpings of blessings? And some people seem to sense more easily how God wants to guide them, how God wants to lead them? Abraham was such a guy. The Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews chapter ...read more

How's Our Faith?

Contributed by Paul Norwood on May 7, 2018

As summer approaches, we get check-ups on our home and car air conditioning systems but perhaps we need a "faith" check up. The question in the sermon title is asked rhetorically and then we examine Peter's faith (along with ours) from Luke 22:31-34.

I. Welcome II. Introduction With blooms everywhere and temperatures in the 80’s, we know summer is just around the corner. As school lets out and the temperatures push higher, there are certain things that might need some attention. I know I’ve already had my home A/C checked and, before taking a ...read more

God's Covenant With Abraham

Contributed by Isaac Butterworth on Jun 9, 2018

God's promises don’t rest on your faith. They rest on his faithfulness. But how can you not have faith in One so faithful?

TODAY I WANT TO TALK WITH YOU about faithfulness—not yours, but God’s God is a promise-making God, but he is also a promise-keeping God. He is faithful in keeping his Word.
