    There is no time like the present to prepare for the future. We don’t always have time to cram for the celebration that is sure to come.

    The Fickleness Of Public Opinion Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 6, 2009
     | 6,119 views

    This message examines the implications of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem.

    In the political arena, the public opinion polls seem to have the ability to shape policy. Politicians are constantly watching their job approval ratings to determine whether or not policy changes are in the best interest of their political future. As our text begins, Jesus’ popularity is at an all ...read more

    HEROD’S PERSECUTION OF THE CHURCH IN JERUSALEM. Acts 12.

     | 6,242 views

    The Book of Revelation tells us to lean into our faith in a Christ who holds the future in his hands. Nothing can frustrate his eternal will, and that eternal will includes us who will be spending eternity with him in his eternal kingdom here on earth.

    A minister and his wife were on their way home on a Sunday evening. He was tired because he preached five times that day. His wife asked a question to which he answered in anger. Immediately he felt conviction and apologized to his wife. He said, “Forgive me. I’m quite tired. ...read more

     | 6,098 views

    Exodus transformed the Israelites in the same way the Resurrection transformed the disciples. We start on a new path and are no longer the same.

    Exodus 12:14-24 14 This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. 15 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread; on the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses, ...read more

    The Zeal Of God

    Contributed by Damien Saylor on Aug 23, 2020
     | 3,769 views

    Do we have the zeal of God? Does it look like we’re saved, or does it look like we’re on a treadmill? We’re moving a lot, but we’re not going anywhere.

    Sermon - The Zeal of God - For me, as a Pastor, I want more than anything to be, as the world says, relevant. - I try to keep in tune with what’s happening in the world, & in the church. - But there’s a very false narrative going on, & has been going for a long time. The ...read more

    The Perfect Gift

    Contributed by Pastor Dre on Jun 14, 2018

     | 33,553 views

    This is a sermon that I preached on Christmas that describes how Jesus is the perfect gift. Many times when we buy a gift for a person there are a few things that can determine whether it's a perfect gift. Well the good news is Jesus fits every category.

    Christmas Message – The perfect gift Luke 2:8-11 8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do ...read more

     | 13,827 views

    A sermon for the New Year.

    "How Will We Serve Christ in 2016?" Matthew 25:31-45 I think this is a very appropriate passage of Scripture to look at as we come to the end of a year, and prepare for a new one. The reason I say this is that Jesus is filling in the metaphors of the parables that come before it. "This is ...read more

    Haggai Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 22, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,250 views

    The Lord asks, "Is it a time for you to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house (the Temple) lies in ruins?" – Haggai 1:4. This is one of the most piercing questions in all scripture, especially given our wealth in this country.

    Haggai Haggai wrote during one of the most challenging times in Jewish history. His prophecies inspired the people to persevere and stay committed to God during that difficult time. Aside from the fact that he was a prophet, we know little about the man. His name means "festival," perhaps ...read more
