The Lord will return and wreak vengeance upon those who seek to entice His bride away. Those who try to lure the bride of Christ into the arms of the world need to hear the warning of the Word, for their will be hell to pay when the Bridegroom comes.

She refused to believe he would not return to her, and so every night she kindled a fire on the shore of ...read more

The King Is Coming

Contributed by Larry Grant on Dec 5, 2021

While Haggai focuses on rebuilding the temple, Zechariah does not focus on the tragedy of a broken city. He looks down the telescope of time and sees a day when Jerusalem will be visited by The King of Kings!

Intro: This morning I want to preach about our King. I want to point out three aspects of this prophecy: He is Personal, He is Powerful and He is Precise. When God sent Haggai and then Zechariah to deliver this His Word, Jerusalem was still in ruins. It had been destroyed by the Babylonians in ...read more

The Better King Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Dec 17, 2022

What is it about Jesus that makes Him a better King than any ruler who has ever lived... or ever will? The answer is "He's the King of righteousness", the "King of peace", and that he lives forever. But what would that mean to us?

Hail To The King Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025

When heaven thunders and earth falls silent, every false throne collapses — and only the true King stands, reigning in mercy and power.

When Heaven Starts Throwing Stones The morning sky looked ordinary—blue stretched thin above the Nile, windless, calm. Then the first crack of thunder rolled across the horizon like a war drum. No one in Egypt had ever heard thunder like that. Moses stood before Pharaoh one last time. The man who ...read more

Jesus, born in humble circumstances, is the unlikely hero who came to rescue us from sin. His Kingdom disrupts the world and is worthy of our sacrifice.

Let's talk about heroes. You know, like those in Marvel movies or your favorite video game. But what if I told you that the biggest hero of all time was born in a barn? Sounds crazy, right? Well, that's exactly what happened with Jesus. Let's dive into the story. Picture this: Mary, a young girl, ...read more

Follow The King

Contributed by Brian Williams on Feb 17, 2025

When Christ is the cornerstone of the church and its foundation is the word of God in action, the church will grow and will weather the greatest storms.

As we spoke about the word “fear” last week, it doesn’t connote running from God because of dread but running to God, clinging to Him, loving, and serving Him. The fear or reverence of the Lord is our response to His love, His majesty, holiness, as well as His wrath. This kind of fear is not ...read more

Born To Be King Series

Contributed by Ken Mckinley on Feb 28, 2025

As Jesus stood before Pontius Pilate He was asked if He was a king. Jesus is the King of kings, and Lord of lords, but His kingdom is not of this world. It is a kingdom of truth, and those who would be part of it must love the truth.

Title: Born to be King Text: John 18:33-40 Now if you remember from last time, Jesus is on trial before Pontius Pilate.

Palm Sunday: This message on "The Triumphal Entry" teaches us some things about worship, concerning what we should be thankful for and what we should celebrate when we find ourselves in the presence of the one true King, Jesus Christ.

One Palm Sunday, a little boy had a sore throat and had to stay home from church with a babysitter. When the rest of the family came home, they were carrying palm branches; and the little boy asked what they were for. His father told him that people waved them in celebration as Jesus passed by. ...read more
