Columbus was on his fourth voyage in 1504. His ships were grounded in St. Ann's Bay in Jamaica, and the natives revolted and refused to supply the Spaniard with food.

The Knowledge Of God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Let us never reduce God to our image, and our puny righteousness. We never will if we obey the words of Peter, and grow in the knowledge of God. This is the way to the mature, abundant, and powerful Christian life.

The Approachable God Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

To find the Child-that was the goal. Anything that takes us off the path that leads to Christ is not part of God's plan. The job of the angels and the star was finished when the shepherds and the wise men bowed before the Christ-child.

Lucy is expounding on the meaning of Christmas and she says, "this is the time of the year that we show kindness and good will, when we accept others and welcome them into our home." Charlie Brown says, "why can't we be kind and accepting all through the year and not just at ...read more

The Gold Of Heaven Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 8, 2021

The gold, the jewels, the beautiful garden fruit trees, and the clear flowing stream from the throne of God, are all a part of the final paradise. Peace and prosperity forever is just what man most craves. That is what the search for gold has always meant to people.

On our vacation in South Dakota, we stopped in the small town of Keystone. Almost every store in town had a variety of Black Hills Gold on display. Seeing all this gold made me want to study gold in the Bible. The streets of the New Jerusalem are to be made of pure gold, and that means gold ...read more

Clashing Worldviews Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Oct 11, 2021

The fact of the matter is that a true Biblical Worldview is incompatible with all others. All quotes from Scripture is from the NASB

The way we view the world truly does matter. Our view of the world around us affects the way we react to the events happening around us, effects the way we view the news, the way we treat one another, the way we treat the disadvantaged (poor, handicap, disabled), and the way we view ourselves. It ...read more

Celebrate The Victory

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 29, 2024

Many in our country, even of our leaders, have forgotten God. So can we still celebrate? Yes we can. Over the years God has blessed this nation. That is something to celebrate! And we have even more to celebrate when we know Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.

Alba 5-30-2024 CELEBRATE THE VICTORY I John 2:12-14 This week our country will once again celebrate our independence from other countries. It took a war to free us from British dominance.

Sin That Crouched At The Door Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 19, 2023

Why would Cain kill Abel, and what can we learn from his failure?

Years ago when I was at Purdue I decided to read the Bible for myself. So, I bought myself a Bible Commentary, and a Bible Dictionary, and I made a deal with God: I told Him I’d read everything but the poetry, the prophecy, and the “who-begat-whos.” I set my Bible and study books out where I ...read more

What's Your Excuse?

Contributed by Esther Collins on Mar 20, 2023

When God calls us for a task, do we accept it joyfully or do we give excuses? Here are some common excuses that we should avoid so God can fulfill His great purposes through us.

The Lord wants to use each one of us, and only if we are available and seriously desire to do so can He use us. Every believer in Jesus has a purpose to fulfill and sometimes we miss out because of some excuses that we make. Interestingly, the bible gives us many examples of those who made such ...read more

Having No Fear

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 3, 2022

Fear is a part of the human condition; however, our fears would cease if we would place our hope in Jesus Christ, instead of the false securities that we’ve built up through our occupations, activities, or the many masks we wear.

Our sermon this evening is entitled, “Having No Fear.” I recall how back in the 1990’s there was a popular brand of clothing with the brand name No Fear. I read an Internet article from that same time period, which says the No Fear slogan “has come to symbolize a ‘cutting edge’ lifestyle” and has ...read more

Consider The True Glory Of Our King!

Contributed by Michael Otterstatter on Oct 23, 2023

In His "state of humiliation" as theologians say, Jesus' glory was most deeply hidden! Through these verses from Colossians we are invited to see the true glory of King Jesus!

“Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews.” All four of the Gospel writers (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) tell us about the written notice of the charge against Jesus—and for which Pontius Pilate crucified him. It’s a small but important detail from the Friday that we call good. Does anyone ...read more

Time for leadership Change

First off I want to thank each of you for being out this morning. It’s a bit of a surreal feeling for me.
