    Supper Time

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 8, 2025
     | 172 views

    God’s feast is ready; the call is now—accept His grace, wear His robe, and take your seat at the table.

    I grew up one of seven children. In a house that full, noise was normal—laughing, teasing, fussing, the thud of feet running in and out the back door. But no matter how wild the day got, there was one sound that could stop everything in an instant. It wasn’t thunder. It wasn’t Dad’s whistle. It ...read more

    Two Kings, Two Paths

     | 344 views

    Big Idea: Saul grasped for control, while David trusted God’s timing. True kingship is not measured by force but by surrender to the Lord.

    They say, “timing is everything.” And you don’t have to be a musician to know that’s true — although if you’ve ever sung the wrong verse while everyone else moved on to the chorus, you know how awkward bad timing can be. Think about how much of life depends on timing. Arriving five minutes late to ...read more

     | 1,693 views

    This is a Father’s Day sermon and deals with the question of what does it take to be a real man.

    The Cost Of Being A Real Man Psalm 1:1-6 Ephesians 5:25-6:4 Today we celebrate Father’s Day as a tribute to the men who have impacted our lives in many ways. Some have been our own fathers and some have been other men that God placed in our lives. We can say thank you for your love, for your time, ...read more

    Lessons From Jeremiah – Part 28 – The Lord Exposes The People’s Sins For They Had Married Sin And Religion Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 3, 2024
     | 675 views

    Great sinners think they can sin but God does not see it, or it does not matter if mixed with a bit of religion. God lists Judah’s sins. Sin hardens people. It grows callouses. God’s message just slips away with ease. We need to be serious with God and not indifferent about our relationship.

    LESSONS FROM JEREMIAH – PART 28 – THE LORD EXPOSES THE PEOPLE’S SINS FOR THEY HAD MARRIED SIN AND RELIGION PART 28 - Jeremiah 7:8-15 CHAPTER 7 [A]. THE LORD’S HOUSE IS DISHONOURED BY THE WICKEDNESS OF THE DECEIVED PEOPLE – GREAT HYPOCRISY {{Jeremiah 7:8 Behold, you are trusting in deceptive ...read more

    In the weeks to come I will be preaching a series of sermons on the LAWS OF ALMIGHTY GOD.

    We deal with laws of this country every day and so we are familiar with many of the laws of the land. Even children have some understanding about laws and how important they are to us. In fact, sometime children have a better understanding of the LAW OF GRAVITY than we adults do. Illus: The ...read more

    Acts 8:9-25 teaches us about a faith that does not save.

    Introduction Years ago, I read a story about the famous outlaw Jesse James (1847-1882). He killed a man in a bank robbery and, shortly after that incident, professed faith in Jesus and was baptized at the Kearney Baptist Church in Kearney, Missouri (the church where his father had once served as ...read more

    Set Apart For God

     | 1,980 views

    If we don’t set ourselves apart, we are doomed to be no different from wordly people. If we contine to conform with the world, we will be lukewarm Christians.

    Please bring out your bibles. Or your bible app? And if you don’t have one, please feel free to get a bible in the back or to share with your seatmate. I would really prefer that you use a real bible, why – because the real bible doesn’t have any other applications inside the book. It doesn’t have ...read more

    A Church Built On Christ Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Oct 16, 2024
     | 1,503 views

    Just what is it that makes a church authentic? The greatest challenge that we find as we try to follow Jesus is dedicating ourselves to the truth of the Scripture in a culture that tends to base their lives on their own opinions instead of on the truth of God's word.

    I don't think I need to tell any of you that our church is going through a new phase. We are about to enter into a new stage of growth for this church beginning in January. I have asked God what words can I bring to the church that would make this transition a lot easier so that we can remain ...read more

    From Eden’s first lamb to Calvary’s cross, the Shepherd who died now leads His flock home—our unshakable hope and everlasting Rock

    The Garden After the Fall The garden must have been silent that evening—so silent that Adam could hear his own heartbeat. Moments before, he and Eve had walked with God in the cool of the day. Now the wind itself seemed to hide from them. They clutched at one another, covered in hastily sewn fig ...read more
