    Wealth And The Fate Of The Wicked Series

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Jul 17, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 527 views

    Psalm 49:1-20 teaches us how to live in light of the certainty of death, particularly in a world consumed by wealth.

    Introduction “What is the most significant problem that faces each person in the world?” This is the question that I typed into Microsoft’s Copilot. Here is Copilot’s answer: “Great question, Freddy. While many global challenges affect humanity, the most significant problem that faces each ...read more

    What You Have Defines Your Worth Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Jul 14, 2025
     | 859 views

    The world says your value is measured by what you own—status, wealth, and accomplishments. But God says your worth is found in who you are (your character) and whose you are (your identity in Christ). We are not defined by what we accumulate, but by our foundation in Him.

    ### **Introduction:*** This morning, we are continuing our series “Lies the World Tells,” and today we are going after a big one. But before we dive into Scripture, I want to start by letting someone else do the talking. You see, there is a video that’s been floating around for years — some of ...read more

    Submit To One Another Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 5, 2022
     | 2,686 views

    Submission is an ugly word in our culture, but it is an important key to spiritual maturity and to experiencing real Christian community. In this sermon we will explore what submission is and isn't, and will learn why it is so important to learn how to submit to one another.

    A. I like the story of a battleship captain who looked into the dark horizon one night and saw faint lights in the distance. 1. Immediately he told his signalman to send a message, “Alter your course 10 degrees south." 2. Promptly a return message was received: “Alter your course 10 degrees ...read more

    A Tale Of Two Kings

    Contributed by David Owens on Dec 26, 2022
     | 2,661 views

    In the story of the birth of Jesus, we encounter the clash of two kings, both called the King of the Jews. In Jesus and Herod we find two opposite ways to live, and come to understand the real meaning of life. Hopefully all of us will choose to follow King Jesus rather than King Herod.

    Introduction: A. Today I want to begin by talking about The Scrooge and The Grinch. 1. Personally, I have always enjoyed the story of the Grinch more than the story of the Scrooge, probably because of the humor of the Grinch and his little dog dressed up like a reindeer. a. The Grinch also has a ...read more

    The Divided Mind

    Contributed by Gordon Brownlee on Nov 20, 2024
     | 585 views

    We cultivate learned responses in life that we call upon as the need arises. This is a gift from God and represents the way in which we become productive people. However this same process also teaches us how to be a casualty of life. Renewing the mind is then found at the Cross of Christ.

    Sermon # 27 - Heed God's Warnings Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 20, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 666 views

    God’s message through the Prophet Jonah was one of warning to the people of Nineveh to repent of their sinful ways. The call of God all through the bible is for people to repent and turn back to Him. Genuine repentance alone can bring genuine change that will please God and bless others.

    We read in Jonah 3:3-4, “So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city, of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be ...read more

    The Spirit As Wind Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Nov 25, 2024
     | 1,253 views

    Jesus said that the Spirit is like wind - it is invisible and unpredictable. Wind has the power to transform, energize, and destroy, and so does the Spirit. The Spirit provides the power we need to be who we are called to be and do what we are called to do.

    A. Let’s start today’s sermon with an illustration comparing two amazing women. 1. Katie Spotz and Laura Dekker have a lot in common – they are both endurance athletes and they both have boats. 2. Both ladies made headlines when they completed solo trips – Katie across the Atlantic and Laura around ...read more

    Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 30, 2025
     | 170 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

    Seals And Trumpets And Bowls, Oh My! (Revelation 6-16) Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 8, 2025
     | 228 views

    Revelation 6–16 can feel like the scariest part of the journey—war, famine, plagues, and wrath. But behind every seal, trumpet, and bowl stands a merciful God whose justice is never chaotic, always redemptive. When God wins, we win—and the story that began with mercy ends with mercy.

    Good morning! Please open your Bibles to Revelation 6. Some of you may find this hard to believe, but back in the olden days—the 1970s—there was no streaming, no DVDs, and definitely no pause button. VCRs existed, but they cost over a thousand dollars, so nobody you knew actually had one. If ...read more

    Idol Minds

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 14, 2025
     | 179 views

    Idols seduce the mind and steal the heart, but Christ alone dethrones every false god and restores true worship, freedom, and identity.

    INTRODUCTION — THE ALTAR IN THE MIND If there is one truth humanity proves in every century, in every culture, in every language, it is this: We never stop worshiping. You can strip away temples, rituals, church buildings, religious vocabulary— you can call yourself modern, enlightened, ...read more

    The Peace Altar

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 20, 2025
     | 63 views

    God gives peace before the battle, speaks identity before performance, and empowers fearful people through His presence, not their strength.

    Most of us assume peace comes after things change. After the diagnosis is clear. After the conflict is resolved. After the money situation stabilizes. After the fear finally loosens its grip. We tell ourselves, “I’ll have peace when the battle is over.” But the story of Gideon opens with a ...read more

    Not On My Watch

    Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Jan 2, 2026
     | 214 views

    Not a normal sermon I would share but a deep desire to keep our children in church as they grow up! I believe in Bible preaching, and I lean very heavy into “Expository Preaching” because understanding the Bible will help us to stand for truth. But what are we teaching our young?

    “Not On My Watch!” Ezekiel 3:16-21 1-4-2026 AM I believe in Bible preaching, and I lean very heavy into “Expository Preaching” because understanding the Bible will help us to stand for truth.

    Part 1: The Hidden God (Deus Absconditus) Series

    Contributed by Rev Emmanuel O. Adejugbe on Jan 20, 2026
     | 117 views

    Where is God when prayers go unanswered and suffering remains? This sermon walks through Job 23 to reveal what God is doing when He seems absent.

    There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes not from isolation, but from silence in the midst of relationship. A spouse who refuses to speak. A parent who withholds explanation. A trusted friend who goes quiet when you need them most. And perhaps most troubling of all, a God who seems ...read more

    Sardis: When Faithfulness Is Assumed Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Feb 2, 2026
     | 31 views

    Sardis warns that faith can survive in name and form while losing responsiveness, calling believers to awaken and listen again.

    By the time we arrive at Sardis, something subtle has happened to us. Ephesus taught us that love can cool without rebellion. Smyrna taught us that faithfulness can be costly without being fragile. Pergamum taught us that proximity to power can quietly rearrange loyalty. Thyatira taught us that ...read more

    "What's Wrong With Pleasure?" Ecc. Pt 2 Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 22, 2007
    based on 7 ratings
     | 10,204 views

    What is wrong with the pursuit of pleasure? Answer: It will become a tyrannical god – an idol that will never satisfy – it will never bring eternal meaning to your life.

    “What is wrong with pleasure?” Ecclesiastes Pt. 2 Illustration: My timer is set for 30 minutes again: You may be thinking, “How many people will die in the world in 30 minutes?” The answer is 3,240 people. But here is a major problem - It is estimated that only 7% of the world’s population is ...read more
