Generous With Our Gifts Series

Contributed by Lynn Malone on Jul 25, 2017

Generosity is at the core of a disciple's life. Jesus calls us to generous living, and generosity begins with our money.

Do we believe it’s possible to live a generous life? Do we believe it’s important to live a generous life? Do we believe it’s necessary to live a generous life? We’ve spent the last four weeks reflecting on how to live generously in every respect of discipleship as United Methodists—our prayers, ...read more

God Is Our Fortress Series

Jesus Is Our Peace Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Nov 30, 2020

Jesus is our peace in the church. There will not be peace in the whole world until Jesus comes again. All scripture references are from the NASB.

As we move into the Christmas season, “Peace on Earth” is a common theme that you hear often. The angels praised God at the birth of Jesus and said (not singing-nowhere in the Bible is there a record of the angels ever singing – chanting maybe, but not singing) “Glory to God in the highest. And on ...read more

Imitating Our Father

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 2, 2025

When it comes to extending mercy, it seems the Church has lost its way. Too many are quick to condemn people they don't like. This message is about being more like our Heavenly Father when it comes to acting with mercy.

There is a characteristic of our Father that is a part of our DNA as His sons and daughters that we are seeing less evident in the Church today. God’s heart for people. Now, you may be thinking, “Bro. Barry, hold up. What do you mean the Church is showing less of God’s heart today? What about ...read more

The Beat Of Our Heart

Contributed by Je Layugan on Aug 3, 2023

Our heart matters to God. And our heart will either lead us towards God, or away from God. When you listen to your heart now, and every heartbeat is translated into words, what words would you hear?

A heart beats about 115,000 times each day. A heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood every day. A woman’s heart beats slightly faster than a man’s heart. Most heart attacks happen on a Monday. A heart is a symbol of love, life, or anything that is at the center of utmost ...read more

Looking For Answers

Contributed by Derrick Bunnell on Nov 15, 2005

The topic I believed needed to be addressed was how we get so focused on the problems that we don’t look for solutions. We get so wrapped up in what is wrong with the world, the church and each other that we forget the reason we are here, our purpose, our

When I first began writing the sermon for this week I thought I needed to preach something hard, something that would step on people’s toes, wake us up and challenge us. I began searching the Bible for topics. Believing I found what I was looking for I began trying to write. But I couldn’t get ...read more
