    This message is geared to motivate believers to step out in faith to be "great commission Christians" who are willing to take a risk and share their faith in Jesus.

    Becoming a Great Commission Christian! ME When Jesus comes into our lives, things sure do change don’t they?

    based on 24 ratings
     | 33,359 views

    The question of whether Christianity is reasonable all depends on what answer you're looking for. What answers does the world seek and what is it about the answer the cross gives that is better than what many folks want?

    Be Cautious About Judging Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,470 views

    When believers criticize each other, it can actually drive people away from the church. Jesus warned about the consequences of criticizing others, and of the need to do some spiritual self-examination before passing judgement.

    This morning we are going to look at the spiritual issue of judging others. The applicable definition for the word “judge” in our main passage means, “to form a judgment or opinion” and to “decide upon critically.”(1) The key word here is “critically,” for when we judge others we are often ...read more

    Love Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 19, 2021
     | 4,759 views

    We often think of love as some syrupy, sweet, tingly, sentimental, ooey, gooey feeling. Biblical or divine love, however, is a self-sacrificing, caring commitment that shows itself in seeking the highest good for the one being loved.

    According to the musical wisdom of John, Paul, George, and Ringo ... otherwise known as "The Beatles" to us older folks … “All you need is love, love … love is all you need.” Well … that and food … and shelter … and air … and sleep … Love is literally in the air. You hear that word ...read more

     | 2,577 views

    The secularists today are doing everything they can do to wipe out the meaning of Christmas. They would like to make it so that the name of Christ can not be mentioned at ANYTIME at ANYPLACE.

    The secularist will not be happy until they: • Remove every nativity scene from public properties • Remove God’s name from the pledge of allegiance • Remove God’s name from every coin • Remove every Christmas carol that talks about God from the schools • Remove all the Christian drama from ...read more

     | 2,362 views

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part Twelve) Series

     | 3,640 views

    Throughout the sermon on the mount, Jesus clarified misconceptions. He explained the deeper implications of the law and broadened their understanding so they could conduct themselves according to God's intentions. Today, Jesus does this regarding retaliation.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part twelve) Matt. 5:38-42 Jane Vajnar writes the story about her friend's four young boys. They were always full of energy; even in church. But the sermon her minister preached on turning the other cheek got their undivided attention. The minister stressed that no ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,273 views

    Many believers are living in fear, guilt, shame, and condemnation. They are partaking of death instead of life; unknowingly eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, instead of eating from the tree of life.

    This morning I want to talk about life, not the facts of life or difficulties of life, but how to have true life in the Lord. In our United States Declaration of Independence we encounter the phrase, “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” which is one of the most well known statements in ...read more
