    When you give your life to Christ, you never need to face the challenges of life alone.

    If we were to go around the room this morning, I wonder how many could tell what your life insurance policy would pay if you suddenly died in a car wreck? How about your auto insurance policy?

One day, one of the folks in the town was given the task of serving as the chairman of the community charity. He decided he was going to start with the town skin-flint. He was ...read more

    A sermon that challenges us to count the cost of living a life that has been given to the world and not to Jesus Christ

    "The High Cost Being Lost" Luke 12:16-21 I. Introduction There is an expression that we see a lot on popular youth clothing, it appears on our trucks and it even appears in some advertising.

     | 18,751 views

    An Easter sermon challenging people to not just acknowledge and celebrate Easter, but to experience the life changing power of the resurrection.

    based on 15 ratings
     | 17,476 views

    This sermon examines the life of John the Baptist as a model of servanthood and challenges the listener to look for those qualities in himself.

    Introduction: One of the features of the Bible that I love is how people basically haven’t changed much in the past 6,000 years. Jn 3 shows that well. First, open to Mk 9:33ff, a scene 2 years later. Just kind follow along with me there. The disciples are on the road to Capernaum, having an ...read more

     | 4,064 views

    God is the owner of all things, we are his managers. Knowing this is not only a great comfort, but also a challenge.

    What do we mean when we say that we own something? We mean that it is in our possession; that we have bought and paid for it; that it is ours to keep and ours to do with as we please; we are the owners; it belongs to us. We know what it means to own something. Of course, there’s ...read more
