    Too many of our day seem to think that because they sit through church services that they have participated in worship. However, that isn’t necessarily true. Sadly, many Christians these days are simply going through the motions, without heart involvement

    The incarnation of Jesus provides us with a model of how we are to interact with unbelievers in the world around us.

    For the past four weeks, we’ve been focusing on the beginnings of the life of Jesus and seen how the foundations that were laid very early in His life were important throughout His earthly ministry. So let’s take a moment to quickly review where we’ve come so far. And I’m ...read more

    Not dealing with our anger correctly can result in bitterness. How do we avoid that?

    She has met with leaders and celebrities around the world and whether or not you agree with her views you have to admit that Greta Thunberg is an angry young lady.

    Acting on faith waters faith. Listening to sermons and reading the Bible and doing nothing in response leads to...nothing. God wants way more than nothing for His people. So He's given us the gift and calling of being doers of the Word and not only hearers.

    Sermon for January 26, 2020 - Listening and Doing [I am thankful to William Barclay's exposition of James chapter 1, which influences much of this message directly and indirectly.] Did you know that God truly cares about every aspect of your life? Sometimes people say that God is too big or ...read more

    Forsaking Renegade Wisdom

     | 1,441 views

         One of the problems that often goes unrecognized is the depth of God’s wisdom. Is it possible that we claim to know God, while failing to give Him the thanks and glory? This sermon is about abortion and removing prayer from schools.

    FORSAKING RENEGADE WISDOM Text: Ecclesiastes 9:18   “Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroyeth much good” (KJV).       Have you ever noticed how we are sometimes lacking on common sense wisdom?       Conrad ...read more

    Zedekiah, The False Prophet With Fake Iron Horns Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Feb 4, 2025
     | 631 views

    A false prophet named Zedekiah used some unusual visual aids to reinforce his message. One small problem, though: his message didn't come from the LORD!

    Introduction: This second message is about Zedekiah, probably one of the worst false prophets ever. He lived during the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat but caused a great deal of grief for many people in both Israel and Judah. His “visual aids” didn’t help, either! The setting for this “prophecy” ...read more
