    Thanksgiving

    Contributed by Thomas Donelan on Nov 29, 2010
    based on 4 ratings

    Thankfulness should be the hallmark of a Christian. The lack of thankfulness shows a heart in need of mending, instruction, and direction. Paul puts is simply like this: it is God’s will for you to be thankful. So let us examine what it is to be thankful.

    Introduction It is that time of year again. Now I don't believe in preaching to the season, but follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and this time the Spirit is leading me to preach on Thankfulness. Our concept of Thanksgiving comes from the thoughts of first Thanksgiving with the Pilgrims who ...read more

    God's Justice And Ours Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 25, 2015
     | 8,304 views

    If life is to be meaningful there must be a God who ensures justice. God is not indifferent to evil, yet His wrath was satisfied in the death of His Son. Sin must be punished--and it was--on the Cross.

    Thomas Jefferson, in a somber moment, noted: “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.” How long will God put up with a people who have turned from Him and have forsaken righteousness? We may question why God punishes sin, but we also need to also ask why He ...read more

    The Good Shepherd Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Dec 3, 2012
     | 5,546 views

    One of the greatest of all the psalms gives us hope when venturing out of the sheep pen that a God of great love will accompany us in life's darkest valleys.

    Psalm 23 is by far the most well-known of the psalms. Many people who are not Jewish or Christian can often recite it from memory. It has even made its way into popular films and TV shows (mostly in graveside scenes). Overall this psalm gives us a picture of God as provider, no matter what ...read more

    God is more than able and capable of meeting our needs and to empower us to keep our lives focused on eternity.

    IT HAS NEVER FAILED! SO, WHAT THAT MEANS IS THAT 100% OF MOST THINGS I HAVE FRETTED, WORRIED ABOUT, OR WAS ANXIOUS AND TROUBLED OVER NEVER HAPPENED OR TURNED OUT THE WAY I HAD THOUGHT IT WOULD.

    Avoiding The Ditch

    We usually tend to think of stories having a good guy and a bad guy. The good guy is always the hero and the bad guy is always the villain. This story adds a third dimension that makes us uncomfortable which is the indifferent category. This sermon is about avoiding the pain of others.

    AVOIDING THE DITCH (July 25, 2012) Text: Luke 10:30 -35 Luke 10:30-35  Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half dead.  (31)  Now by chance a priest was going ...read more

    Are We On The Road To Castaway Island?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 17, 2023
     | 948 views

    Many have read and undoubtedly heard this Scripture countless times before. It speaks of someone running a race. But we need to see the spiritual aspect of this road that we are on.

    The Apostle Paul concludes Chapter 9 with a plea for self-disciple and self-denial in the Christian life. He compares himself to the athletes in the Isthmian games, which was well known by the Corinthians. In any case, in the Christian race all may run in order to obtain the prize. First ...read more

    Creation groans. We groan within ourselves. Creation is subjected in hope. We are saved in hope.

    THE DESTINY OF CREATION. Romans 8:12-25. 1. The Mortification of Sin (Romans 8:12-14). Paul has just commented that ‘if Christ is in you the body is dead on account of sin’ (cf. Romans 8:10). And that ‘the Spirit of Him who raised up Jesus from the dead will also quicken (revivify, make ...read more

    Good Morning. In addition to our focus on Peace this morning, and the peace which brings Good News on the mountain tops, as Isaiah says, actually equipping YOU to be the voice of peace on the mountain tops to be clear, the Second Sunday in Advent is also known as Bible Sunday.
