    What two attitudes destroy the unity of the church? What is the only way given in Scripture to fight against this? Listen as Pastor Steve shows how we are to be involved in "Maintaining Spiritual Unity."

    Tonight we’re looking once again at the portion of Scripture that speaks to the subject of unity in the church. Philippians 2:1-4 says, “Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being ...read more

    The Worse Homecoming Ever

    Contributed by Larry Turner on Oct 24, 2016

    A church in decline. A pastor discouraged. A congregation wanting to party as if all were well. Not exactly a great recipe for me to get a sermon. But the Lord spoke to me and took some weight off my shoulders in this sermon.

    Welcome to our 2nd Annual Homecoming Dinner. This is actually my sixth October as pastor and the church itself has existed for 14 years. The reason it is the second homecoming dinner is because we decided to start having one last year. This year 30 past and present members were invited. Eleven ...read more

    French Horns Or Paper Dolls?

    Which would you rather be - a Christian who puts on Christ’s character like a costume, or an instrument playing beautiful music in God’s hands?

    I admit it – I played with paper dolls as a young boy. I guess I got them from my sisters – we may have even played them together. But I remember thinking it was pretty cool that you could take this people, cut out different clothes and hair and stuff for them and make them into anything you wanted ...read more

    The Search For The Twelve

    Contributed by Andy Almendarez on Mar 22, 2004

     | 1,971 views

    This is a message that will help us understand that the Apostles were men just like us. They had character that was uniquely given to them by God for His mission and purpose.

    Andy Almendarez The Search for the Twelve November 2, 2000 The impetus for this message arose out of Luke’s allusions to the twelve being groomed to take over the leadership of Israel. Luke also makes reference to the twelve judging the twelve tribes of Israel (Luke 19:11-27; 22:30). This is ...read more

     | 6,886 views

    Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up, but his answers back reveal much about the human character and how many of us "play" church.

    In a way this chapter is a direct attack against Jesus’ authority as the King and Messiah He has just claimed to be. They were not engaging in a verbal dialogue to discern the truth, they were engaged in verbal warfare in a public relations game to discredit Jesus and eventually kill him. Verses ...read more
