    Jesus Christ has come to bring us back to God, to clear the way for us to enter once again into his presence. Christ has died to forgive our sins. Christ has risen to bring us new life. Empowered by God’s Holy Spirit we’re called to go out, to spread the

    It’s amazing what a brief description we’re given of such a world changing event, isn’t it? Here’s Jesus Christ, the Son of God, coming back to life after being crucified by the Jewish and Roman authorities and all we get are three verses of terse almost bare boned narrative. There was an ...read more

    Discouragement and sometimes depression are a normal part of life for many of us. This sermon looks at what can stimulate our discouragement and how God deals with his discouraged child.

    Dealing with Discouragement, 1 Kings 19:1-18 One pastor talks about the time when he offered prayers for healing, especially for those who were emotionally hurting. He gave an invitation to come forward for prayer. One by one, then a few more, and before long two thirds of the congregation was ...read more

    Jesus' First Miracle Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Feb 20, 2019
     | 7,249 views

    “This just doesn’t seem to make much sense.” How many times do you think the people there for Jesus' first miracle asked that question? This event in the life of Jesus confirms exactly who Jesus was and how God works – amazing solutions that we would have never expected.

    Just this past week, one of my daughters was looking through the scrapbooks that my wife has assembled throughout the years of various events in their lives. One of the things you’ll find for each of them is the famous “First day of school” picture. Those pictures are kind of fun to look at and ...read more

    Listening, hearing and acting on the call of God.

    “Eh?” 1 Samuel 3:1-11, 19 Raise your hand if you sometimes have a hard time hearing God or discerning God’s voice. Interruptions define our lives, do they not? Our days and nights are full of gadgets that ping, buzz and beep their way into our attention, taking us away from whatever we are ...read more

    Ministry Is Not Meant To Be A One-Man Show

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019
    based on 1 rating

    Do you need help? We rarely like to think that we do. How did Moses respond when someone said that he looked like he needed some help. Moses’ example is a great reminder of the help that God provides for us in those whom God has placed around us in our church to carry out the ministry together.

    “Do you need some help?” When someone asks you that question, what is your natural reaction? I think that our natural response might be a bit defensive, “No. I’ve got it. I’m fine” whether we really are or not. Why is that? There is a little part of us that doesn’t want to admit that we need ...read more

    We’re not responsible for results, and the moment we stop production on the “act of producing the results,” the results will become easier and more better than we could ever expect!

    The seed of faith, the fruit of praise! Illus. from the book Guide posts, “ His mysterious ways: miracles of healing” What I remember most about the summer of 1934, when dad got his tonsils out, that’s how hot it was.

    Grinch is real and thriving in many places. Life can become a wet blanket. Never allow the Grinch to knock you down and keep you down. This storm is a great faith opportunity. SHAKE IT OFF.

    A sermon about loving people the way Jesus does.

    “A New Way Forward” Mark 6:30-44 Jesus liked to eat. The disciples of John the Baptist noticed this enough to ask Jesus why He didn’t fast.
