    A look at how the Seven Deadly Sins twist our God-created nature into something unnatural.

    INTRO - There are certain conversations in life that I love. o Last week, while at Physical Therapy for my shoulder, I wound up discussing Calvinistic theology and how it applies within a modern context with my therapist. o You know…light conversation for 7:45 in the morning. ...read more

    God's "Go To" Guidance Series

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Jul 31, 2014
     | 6,693 views

    We need to learn how to trust in the Lord and not in ourselves. Only then can He show us his will and the path our lives should take.

    Have you ever heard the phrase, “Out of the mouth of babes?” It comes from the truth that sometimes it takes a child to reveal lasting wisdom. For example: · Patrick, age 10, said, “Never trust a dog to watch your food.” · Michael, 14, said, “When your dad is mad and ...read more

    Never Surrender Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 12, 2019
     | 7,592 views

    While there are many things we need to surrender to God, there are some things that we should never surrender.

    It’s almost a dirty word. One that nobody wants to use, and certainly not a word that anybody wants to be identified with. In today’s culture of shame, you can probably think of any number of words that fall in that category, and that society has taken to referring to by their first letter, as ...read more

    What God Thinks Of Our Rules Series

    Contributed by Glenn Durham on Mar 12, 2008
    based on 14 ratings
     | 7,747 views

    We are freed when God breaks all our rules.

    Scripture Introduction When people picture Jesus, few imagine a man intentionally offending others. Yet that is exactly what he does in John 5. Jewish teachers had strict guidelines for keeping the Sabbath. Jesus knew them and he flaunts his disregard for their rules. It seems so reasonable to us ...read more

     | 11,719 views

    Central to worship is the “us” and “Him,” not the place and means.

    Scripture Introduction God is seeking worshippers in spirit and truth. That does not mean that God seeks to make worshippers, as if there were people not worshipping whom he hopes to change. The issue is not whether we will worship, but whom and how. John Calvin (a pastor in the 1600s) ...read more

    Finding The Lord’s Will

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 17, 2022
     | 1,213 views

    Some would have us believe that one of the hardest things in this life to find, is the will of God for our lives.

    Illus: Some think that finding the will of God for our life is like playing the game where you put a marble on the table, turn three cups upside down with one of the cups covering the marble. And then someone very quickly switches them around, then you try to guess which cup the marble is under. ...read more

    A Life Of Ingratitude (Thanksgiving Sermon)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022
     | 2,407 views

    It is sad that today in churches we find many people who have not REJECTED salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, but they have NEGLECTED the salvation they have in Christ.

    We all know a great deal about REJECTION and rejection can be very painful. We normally learn about rejection when we are a child, but if we do not learn anything about it as a child, we probably learned something about it when we began dating. Illus: I read this list of the top rejection lines ...read more

     | 3,515 views

    To raise children of influence, raise them to bless others, to believe in Jesus, and to boldly share their faith.

    The children had a special program at church and a little girl was to recite the Scripture she had memorized for the occasion. When she got in front of the crowd, the sight of hundreds of eyes peering at her caused her to forget her memory work. Every line that she had so carefully rehearsed ...read more

    Jesus On Family Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 12, 2025
     | 397 views

    It's easy to overlook just how radical a statement Jesus makes here. He is doing nothing less than fundamentally redefining the family. What are the implications of actually living this out?

    ONE QUICK POINT BEFORE WE GET TO THE ACTUAL SERMON: The definition of a Christian is someone hearing God’s word and putting it into practice. - Luke 8:21. - Matthew 7:21, 24, 26; Matthew 12:50; John 7:17; John 14:23; John 15:10; 1 John 2:17. - Jesus says something here that is crucially ...read more
