    Disciples Contend For Greatness Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Aug 30, 2017
     | 10,191 views

    It is humility that brings honor and growth to God’s people. A person, who humbles himself like a little child, even though that may cause others to ignore or dislike him, will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. The humblest Christians are the....

    Capernaum Lesson: Disciples Contend for Greatness Matthew 18:1-10 A LITTLE CHILD BECOMES AN OBJECT LESSON: At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (Matthew 18:1) There never was a greater pattern for humility than Jesus, and there ...read more

    The Perversion Scheme Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Nov 18, 2021

     | 4,634 views

    Satan realizes that if he takes something that God created for good, and twists it until it is completely unrecognizable, and even causes it to look like something evil, that he can cheat us out of what God wanted us to have.

    The devil is not a creator. He is very good at perverting things, but he never creates new material. He can only use God’s material. - Daniel Heimbach(1) I want to begin by reminding us how the Bible says that we are at war daily with Satan and his demons (Eph 6:11-12). The devil is real, his ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,685 views

    Jesus teaches us all that through mustard seed faith we are able to do the impossible - we are able to uproot and get rid of the sycamine trees of bitterness and forgiveness that seek to grow in our lives causing disharmony and chaos.

    Scripture: Luke 17:1-10 (cf. verses 5-6) Psalms 137; Lamentations 1:1-6 Theme: MUSTARD TRIUMPHS SYCAMINE Jesus teaches us all that through mustard seed faith we are able to do the impossible - we are able to uproot and get rid of the sycamine trees of bitterness and forgiveness that seek ...read more

    Christians Must Be Prepared To Suffer For Christ

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jan 3, 2019
     | 5,637 views

    The Prosperity movement has given Americans a wrong view of God -- that He won’t let Christians suffer. But the truth is that suffering is a vital part of Christianity. Suffering should be viewed as a blessing, a cause for rejoicing, and a sign of future reward.

    CHRISTIANS MUST BE PREPARED TO SUFFER FOR CHRIST Matt. 24:9 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: MAGIC AT THE PASTRY SHOP 1. Two broke and hungry best friends, Dave and John, went into a pastry shop. Dave suddenly whisks three cookies into his pocket with lightning speed. The baker didn't notice. Dave ...read more

     | 11,653 views

    At a point during the cause of our lives we are faced with situations that are overwhelming. We find ourselves in a place where it seems we are stagnated, we are not making progress. We feel that we need help and assistance which is not forthcoming.

    AUTHOR: BOLA FOLAKEMI PRAISE JOHN 5: 1-11 “Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish festivals. Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. 3 Here a great number of disabled ...read more

    Mary The Mother Of James And Joses. Series

    Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 10, 2021
     | 4,059 views

    Luke 8:1-3 names some of the women who are recorded in the resurrection account. Without the resurrection Jesus can be viewed as just another good man who died for His cause - or a Roman crucifixion of a false messiah.

    Mary the mother of James and Joses. Mark 15:40–41, Luke 8:1-3 Many of us are aware of the Resurrection of Jesus , but we don’t always realise how we got the record of this event: and it is this: the first witnesses of the resurrection were women. Now with our 21st century ears when we hear ...read more

     | 4,406 views

    When we are connected to Jesus we can confidently approach the Holiness of God. This confidence should give us cause to consider how to spur on one another and build an environment of encouragement as we commit to our church fellowship.

    Message Hebrews 10:24-25 In Fellowship Together – Being Revived When we talk to people during the week, and they ask us what we do on the weekend, I’m sure there have been times when we have all said, “I am going to fellowship with my church.” Have you ever stopped to wonder what “going to ...read more

    Your Emotion Especially Anger Series

     | 2,014 views

    Researchers have concluded that the major cause of diseases that harm mankind are not so much from bacteria or virus, but rather because of the state of one’s mind. The adverse stress and disturbances to the mind leads to break-down in our health.

    Psalm 91 - Study 27 - Your emotions especially anger! We read in Psalm 91:9-10, “You, O LORD, are my refuge! You have made the Most High your home. No harm will come to you. No sickness will come near your house.” (GW) As we continue to meditate on Psalm 91, we have realized that the word of God ...read more

     | 6,647 views

    This is part two of my series, Placebo Faaith - The Real Thing. In this message I review the story of Peter walking on the water and how his thinking caused him to step out of the boat, walk on the water but ultimately start sinking.

    Placebo Faith – The Real Thing Part 2 Scriptures: Hebrews 11:1, 6; Proverbs 23:7a; Matthew 14:22-31 Introduction This is part two of my series, “Placebo Faith – The Real Thing.” Last week I shared with you that that medically there are patients who, because they truly believe they have an ...read more

    Being In The Family Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 15,531 views

    Jesus asked a perplexing question that continues to cause confusion and uncertainty - who is my family? His focus was not to appease His brothers, but to please His Father. Our relationship with Christ, and devotion to Him, must exceed all else.

    Being in the Family Mark 3: 31-35 Our text today reveals an encounter that was difficult for many to accept. Very likely the intentions of our Lord were misunderstood and misrepresented. Even today, as we consider these verses, this passage remains difficult for many to comprehend and accept. As ...read more

    Leaving God Out Series

     | 14,100 views

    It seems like a no brainer for believers to include God in every aspect of life? So what would cause a believer to leave God out? Our Family Minister, Scott Jewell explores some of the excuses people use in this message.

    Read Hebrews 11:8-12 Each week, we have a group of ministers that meet over lunch to encourage each other and sometimes we plan sermon series together. This month we’re focusing on obstacles to healthy relationships. Last week, Jeff spoke about only giving the leftovers, today I want to discuss ...read more

     | 14,939 views

    Jesus is the foundation of the Church. A unified church fortifies that foundation. How do we avoid causing division? How do we handle the divisive person? Check out these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    (This is a sermon by our associate Scott Jewell concluding our sermon series "God's Blueprint For His Church") Jeff started this series a month ago telling us about an episode of “This Old House”. It was about a young couple who purchased a 1906 church building in San Francisco to ...read more

    Sermon challenges us to wait on God. It begins with 3 issues on the Ohio Ballot in the 2015 election. It continues with how our not waiting on God can cause us to miss out on the blessings God truly wants to give to us.

     | 3,353 views

    Within the Last Few Months of the Global Pandemic, with several questions in the hearts of many, “How come a Pandemic after the Beginning of a New Year?”, was it caused by several atrocities of the World or is it a Natural Catastrophe or an Environmental syndrome or an engineered economic disorder?

    Well, God still reigns in the Affairs of Men as his the owner of The World (Ps 24:1) and always Assures Us of Victory even when we are faced with Such or More even Happens (Ps 34:19) This is a Pointer for us to give to God the best of who we are and what we have received, because God intends to be ...read more
