    Why Speak In Parables Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 272 views

    The parables are more than storytelling devices to help people remember Jesus' teachings. The listener who pursues understanding will receive both healing and blessing, and ultimately come to know God.

    I would like to open with an illustration by Lifeway author Christine Hoover. She tells of the time her husband, Kyle, used her in a sermon illustration and spoke of her inability to perfect a pecan pie. She testifies, “That particular Sunday, I was serving in the nursery, and as parents came to ...read more

    Better: A Call To Goals & Growth

    Contributed by Harold Eggar on Jan 3, 2025
     | 627 views

    All Scripture is taken from the ESV unless otherwise noted. I do not spend much time correcting spelling and grammar in my notes as I deliver these sermons orally. I apologize if that makes this sermon more difficult to follow on paper.

    Preached 1/5/25 I do want to say Happy New Year to all of you welcome to 2025, and as a church, we are so glad that you are here with us kicking off this new year being a part of God's family here in Riverton.

    27 The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 6:9-10 - Message 27 – Do Not Grow Weary In Doing Good To All - Especially To Fellow Believers Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Apr 9, 2025
     | 763 views

    We study an essential truth here today. Paul stresses we are not to grow weary or lose heart in doing good to all, especially to fellow Christians. Perseverance and endurance are essential biblical words. We speak on sowing and reaping also.

    27 THE BOOK OF GALATIANS – CHAPTER 6:9-10 - Message 27 – DO NOT GROW WEARY IN DOING GOOD TO ALL - ESPECIALLY TO FELLOW BELIEVERS Galatians chapter 6 is full of instructions for practical Christian living. They may look simple but they need a lot of help from God to perform correctly in ...read more

    Sermon - Rejection Is Not Your Final Destination

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 5, 2024
     | 1,584 views

    While rejection is painful, its purpose is planned. God often uses man's rejection to redirect his people back into His will for their lives.

    Subject: Rejection Is Not Your Final Destination Text: Judges 11:1-11 “Now Jephthah of Gilead was a great warrior. He was the son of Gilead, but his mother was a prostitute. Gilead’s wife also had several sons, and when these half-brothers grew up, they chased Jephthah off the land. “You will not ...read more

    The Bartimaeus Miracle

    Contributed by Pastor/Author: Terry Sisney on Feb 16, 2025
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,942 views

    In this sermon we are not so focused on what the Bartimaeus miracle was, but how he received it. God is no respect of persons but he is a respect of faith. If we can walk the steps of Bartimaeus we can get our own miracle.

    Mark 10:46-52 TLB And so they reached Jericho. Later, as they left town, a great crowd was following. Now it happened that a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road as Jesus was going by. [47] When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus from Nazareth was near, he began ...read more

    "Do Not Despise The Day Of Small Beginnings.”

    based on 1 rating
     | 2,901 views

    This timely message encourages believers to embrace their unique callings, regardless of how small or unnoticed they may appear. It reassures them that every prayer offered and every act of kindness extended contributes to a greater cause when aligned with God's purpose and will.

    SCRIPTURAL REFERENECES (Zechariah 4:10) "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to ...read more

    Rough Beginnings Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 11, 2023
     | 1,731 views

    In this sermon, we consider the back story of the letters to the Thessalonians - the founding of the church. It's tumultuous beginning helps us to understand a bit of the environment into which the new church was planted and some of the ongoing struggles they faces.

    Pre-quals Every story has a back story. We may not always gain insight into the back story, but there are things impact characters and cultures. When George Lucas wrote the original Star Wars series, he had in his mind some of the events leading up to the movie that many of us were first ...read more

    Overcoming Ziklag Moments

     | 667 views

    Many of us have gone through very difficult times when it seems like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. This message looks at how David handled one of the most difficult times in his life.

    Would you please turn with me to First Samuel 30. I can still remember this like it was yesterday. It was Saturday morning, May 10, 1986. I was still in bed when I got a call from my uncle, Anthony, and he said two words, after which I didn't hear anything else. He said, “Dot’s gone.” Dot, ...read more

    Weariness PRO Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 96 views

    Faithful, unseen acts of kindness matter deeply to God; persist in doing good, trusting that your efforts will bear fruit in His perfect timing.

    Some days feel like a long string of unnoticed kindness. A parent packing lunches after a long shift. A nurse offering a smile under a mask. A teacher giving one more call to a student who’s fallen behind. A caregiver who holds a trembling hand at midnight. Seeds of goodness go into the soil, and ...read more

    Evangelism On The Run Series

    based on 67 ratings
     | 8,231 views

    Looking at the life of Phillip, here was one person who was ready to run his faith out to reach other.

    When we think of Evangelism, the general thought that runs through most minds is of a crusade with someone like Billy Graham. A planned special event. Most evangelism does not happen that way. It takes place in the normal activities of our day, seizing the opportunities which are around us. ...read more

    Continuing a series on the minor prophets

    There is something almost disconcerting about the prophet Nahum and his place in Scripture. Nahum is little more than just a name to us. He is a prophet with a very narrow and particular view of who God is. But even within that narrow vision of God, Nahum’s prophetic words give us something to ...read more
