     | 15,893 views

    It has been said that if you have one true friend in your life you are lucky. This morning the Lord is going to teach us about FRIENDSHIP and HOW WE CAN HAVE SOME TRUE FRIENDS!

    Everybody needs true friendship. There is a real hunger for it. The problem is finding the time to create real friends. It takes time and effort to make friends. Many of us settle for the imitation friends we have on the TV. ILL>>>I remember my dad used to talk to “Hunter” when that was a ...read more

    The Carpenter's Cloth Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on May 22, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,559 views

    This is taken from Sigmund Brouwer’s wonderful book of the same name. This speaks of the cross being only part of God’s plan of salvation for us, the empty tomb being the other. Jesus the carpenter wants to complete His work in us.

    John 20:1-9 – The Carpenter’s Cloth Tonight I’m going to share a thought with you that I read several years ago, and it has blessed me ever since. In fact, likely, you remember it since I read it to you on my 1st Easter Sunday message in Doaktown and Blissfield. I hope that it encourages you ...read more

    Ahhh, kids! How does God want us to raise these little ones? Let's discover what God has to parents AND children in this text.

    Exodus 20:12 Parental Pride! As I prepared this series, I realized how little we actually preach or teach on the Ten Commandments as if they are neither important nor relevant. They are both. It was very enlightening to me to preach through them. I learned a lot! I trust this series will ...read more

    The Work Of Wisdom

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,484 views

    Is it a shock that the writer of Proverbs 31 used the metaphor of a wife and a mom to explain wisdom? It's not a shock to me.

    The Work of Wisdom In honor of mothers day we’re going to talk about wisdom; which is appropriate considering how wisdom plays an active daily part in the life of a mom. We'll start with what the Bible says about wisdom with a Scripture you may wonder about at first. Why are we reading this ...read more

    We still live in the land of the free, the home of the brave, and why? All because of our relationship with the Great Creator, God Himself!! Were not in the minority, don't let them fool you. Were still in the majority, Praise the Lord!!

    Independence Day, Thank God I am Free Today we honor our birth and founding as a nation, when we declared that we were going to exert our independence from anarchy and rule.

    Through prayer we speak to God as we do when we praise him. But our songs of praise are also meant to be an encouragement to one another.

    Choosing The Road Of Obedience Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 9, 2013
     | 6,285 views

    This is the fifth message in a series on the life of Moses and shows that being God's man is never easy. This message examines how God calls us to choose the road of obedience even when it is the most difficult way.

    Most of us will accept the idea that God has a plan for our lives. However, we often struggle with the notion that God could use us in a significant way to impact the Kingdom. Why do we have this struggle? Because we know what we are really like and we know our failures. Needless to say it takes a ...read more

    Where Are You?

    Contributed by Nickolas Kooi on Jun 7, 2018
    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,703 views

    This sermon examines God's question in Genesis 3:9: "Where are you?" It looks at where are Adam and Eve in relation to God. It looks at where we are, and where God can be found. This sermon also uses the analogy of Hide and Seek to advance the thought.

    For some reason, it seems that every kid loves the game, “Hide and Seek.” My siblings have always enjoyed it. My cousins have always liked it, and it is one of my nephew’s favorite games. The children of my friends always want me to play it with them as well. Kids love to hide, and then to be ...read more
