    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jan 23, 2015
     | 4,766 views

    In the parable of the Good Samaritan Jesus tells about the inter-action of six characters to a wounded man. This sermon briefly analyzes each character.

    Let’s begin today with a fun little quiz. I am going to name some neighbors from TV shows and you try to identify which show it was from. Some of these shows are really old so, unless you are my age, you may not know them. But all these shows are being shown in reruns. So let’s get ...read more

    There is a saying that goes: once saved always saved. But is there any truth to that?

    You cannot lose your salvation, but can you walk away from it? Beloved, when it come to the words: “DO NOT” many of us have a problem with those words. Do not touch do not go do not pass do not take do not give do not gossip. Many have no respect or fear and I mean are not afraid of ...read more

     | 2,847 views

    On Tuesday of the final week of Jesus' earthly life, He spent the day teaching His disciples, the crowds and the religious leaders. His teaching was designed to confront some and comfort others. The choice is always ours.

     | 3,312 views

    Judgement of the eternal status of another is never our responsibility. Our responsibility is to choose our path daily.

    Choose Joy

     | 3,898 views

    There is a distinct difference between happiness and the joy that Christ offers in a loving and obedient relationship with Him.

    WHY DO SO MANY CHRISTIANS FAIL TO EXPERIENCE REAL JOY AND REAL PEACE? COULD IT BE THAT TOO MANY ARE CAUGHT UP IN THE “PASSING PLEASURES” OF THIS WORLD? MAYBE THEY HAVE LET THE WAYS OF LIFE DISTRACT THEM AWAY FROM FAITH AND GOD. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT SOMEONE CALLING THEMSELVES A “CHRISTIAN” ...read more

    The Good, The Bad, & The Snuggly

    Contributed by Jonathan Meyer on Nov 1, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,512 views

    Jesus points to our salvation by the Father's grace alone, not by our works--first through a parable, and then in action as He welcomes children (even infants).

    The Word of God that engages us today is our Gospel reading from Luke 18. And in our Gospel reading, Jesus challenges the presuppositions of those around Him. Our Gospel reading is really broken down into two sections—and quite often you’ll get a sermon on one or the other, as if ...read more

    Through Jesus Parables we will be given “knowledge of the secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven”. This knowledge is being revealed to those of you who are seekers of the deep spiritual truths of God. Some of us will understand but others won't. Why?

    Eyes, Ears and Heart Matthew 13:1-23 NIV Last year our Sunday messages went through a series of topics on a closer walk with God that taught us how to be better disciples of Jesus. You may or may not have realized it but for 30 weeks that is what I spoke about. It was my prayer that these messages ...read more

    “Every one,” C.S. Lewis writes, “says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until there is something to forgive”

    Matthew 18:21-Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22-Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. 23-“Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who ...read more

    What if when the prodigal son came home from the hog pen, he found that his father & brother had sold the farm? Today's churches have sold out their original fire and zeal. Will your prodigals find the same church they left?
