Change

Contributed by James Thibodeaux on Oct 29, 2021

Remember we live in a world that can easily mold us into it’s’ image. If we allow that to happen and if were not what we claim to be. So once again the question we need to ask, do we have a real affect to those around us for Jesus?

Intro: In my last 3 sermons, I spoken on Attitude, Behavior and Character and explained why these 3 traits are so important to see if were are the real deal or not, To see if we are what we claim to be and to see if were living for Jesus and being lead by the Holy Spirit himself. I hoped that you ...read more

Heaven Help My Home!

Contributed by Scott Maze on Nov 29, 2021

The word “honor” means to esteem your parents or to value them. The Bible calls on you to respect them. You don’t have to think your parents are marvelous. You don’t have to do everything they say once you are an adult. But you must honor them.

If your home is anything like mine, see if this sounds familiar. You have more expenses than money. Your house isn’t anywhere near as clean as you would like it. You’re embarrassed by the messiness of your garage. You have not won “yard of the month” in a long, long time. There is more arguing than ...read more

The Walking Dead!

Contributed by Steve Keeler on Jun 11, 2017

I look around me and see a world full of the living dead. The sad part is they don’t know they are dead. Paul reminds the Christ follower that they too were once part of "The Walking Dead". And at the time, we didn't know we were dead either!

“The Walking Dead” by Steve Keeler Ephesians 2:1-3 “1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we ...read more

Fathers Who Carry Arks

Contributed by Ava Ch on Jun 12, 2025

Today on Father’s Day and Trinity Sunday, we remember those who, like the ark-bearers, stand in deep places for others. Just as the ark once carried God’s presence, now Christ—born in a manger, obedient to the Father—dwells among us through the Spirit.

Fathers Who Carry Arks - Joshua 3:15-17 I. Introduction—The Race Defeat! He lay there silently, a tear dropped from his eye. “There’s no sense running anymore—three strikes, I’m out—why try?” The will to rise had disappeared, all hope had fled away, So far behind, so error prone, ...read more

8 Reasons Why People Leave The Church

Contributed by Sheryln Miller on Apr 11, 2019

Are you surprised when you hear that a once faithful Christ follower has turned away from the faith and now doubts whether scripture is true or not? If you are like me, you wonder how this happens but then you remember this is nothing new. Apostasy appears throughout the bible.

In Hebrews 6:4-5 the writer notes some will turn away from the gospel although they once tasted the good Word and received the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew we would be tempted to turn away from the truth but He reminds us to remain faithful to the end (end of our lives) if we want to receive the ...read more

Sermon # 25- Arise And Go Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 14, 2024

Once the fish had vomited Jonah out, God’s call came to the prophet to arise and go to Nineveh and preach to the people. God’s call to the church is to take the good news of the gospel to those outside. May we too arise and go to fulfill the great commission of Jesus.

We read in Jonah 3:1-2, Then the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it the message that I tell you.”(ESV) These are the words of God to Jonah after the fish vomited him out onto the shore. We are not sure in what ...read more

"When Everything Is Said And Done"

Contributed by Dennis Deese on Aug 17, 2002

Here we see a sad picture of a man’s last day of life that has been tarnished and humiliated by the death blow of sin. He was once known according to 1 Samuel 9:2 as a “choice young man.” But in the end all of the potential luster of his life has vanish

Complaining

Contributed by Lou Nicholes on Nov 10, 2004

More than once, Israel in her pride tempted God in the wilderness and He had to punish them (Deut. 6:16). But like a stubborn child, the Jews didn’t seem to learn their lesson. Instead of pleasing the Lord who had done so much for them, they provoked Him

THOUGHTS ABOUT THE PASSAGE: The Jews had a long record of complaining against the Lord and their leaders. Their murmuring began on the night of the Exodus when they were sure Pharaoh’s Army was going to kill them (Ex. 14:10-14). As Israel entered the wilderness of Shur, they complained because ...read more

So What

Contributed by Ronnie Mcneill on Feb 25, 2008

No matter what you have done in your life God is still standing by with forgiveness. Once He forgives you, He will use you for His glory. When we look at the Apostle Paul God shows us how he forgave, converted, and used Paul for His glory.

Introduction: Through our journey in life, we have been on some roads that have put us to shame. We have even said and done some things that we only did in the dark because we did not want the light to shine upon us. If the truth must be told, we all have done some things that we are ashamed of ...read more

Reflections Of The Heart

Contributed by Terry Barnhill on Apr 16, 2008

Your personal identity resides in your soul. As John Lawson once said, if your soul is stolen, that’s the ultimate “identity theft.” The most dangerous thief of all isn’t out to steal your worldly goods. After all, possessions can be replaced, but your s

Friendship

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Mar 8, 2011

A good friend is a good find. Developing positive friendships are the crowning jewels in our life. Someone once said, “A friend is a present you give yourself”. How should we choose our friends and how can we tell if we have a good one?

FRIENDSHIP INTRODUCTION: There are different levels of friendship. We have people in our life who are acquaintances, people we like but only see once in a while, usually at a function. Then we have closer friends who we get together with on occasion. We might not see them too often but our level ...read more

I have not always been an Anglican! In my late teens - in the days following my rather dramatic conversion experience - I found myself gravitating naturally towards the more charismatic end of the church. Maybe it was because it was more youthful and energetic. Maybe it was because I felt at home ...read more
