    Christians have all kinds of opinions about what preachers should do in their congregations. But what does God want those who enter the pulpit ministry to focus on? What is the "main thing" that these men should devote themselves to?

    There’s an old saying: “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” We’ll come back to that in a moment. Back in the 1990’s the Indianapolis Pacers Basketball Team had been struggling for more than a decade to be a contender in the NBA. With the exception of a couple of years, ...read more

    Evidence Of The Resurrection Personal Testimonies (Part 1) I Corinthians 15:5-7 Thus far in our study of I Corinthians 15 we have been considering the evidence that Paul submits in defense of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    Several facts about how a church should be can be found in the first three verses of 1 Corinthians 1.

    The first three verses of 1 Cor. 1 are the introduction to Paul’s letter. It’s only three verses, but they set the scene for the rest of the letter. Let’s look at the first verse. READ v. 1. Notice that Paul didn’t refer to himself as a messenger of himself or of anyone ...read more

    We read and learn daily from the truths of the Word of God. But how do we live those truths out? We are surrounded by all sorts of examples (some good some bad). Paul uses two servants to show us how God uses ordinary people to do the extraordinary!

    Maintaining a pure conscience is essential for intimacy with God, confidence in prayer, and effectiveness in ministry. In this (Part 1) message, conscience is explained as a universal faculty of the heart. Then various conditions of conscience are discussed.

Then, in a second message, we discussed three keys to managing self-awareness according to Scripture.i Today, I want to go a little deeper into the subject by talking about ...read more

    Paul is just too excited to stop praising God. The letter to the Ephesians is full of praise. Here are just five.

    Introduction: I. How many of us here this morning would say, A. I just want to praise God all the time, B. I never have periods of doubt or disappointment, C. I just always trust, and God always comes through. II. Probably many of you might say, “Yep. That’s me” but perhaps others of you ...read more

    The major threat facing the church is False Teaching. So Paul encourages Timothy to concentrate on what matters most.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings I wonder what you think the greatest threat facing the church is? Secularism and the push to privatize religion? The rise of militant atheism that’s always ready to attack Christianity? Perhaps it’s young people with their lack of respect? Or old people ...read more

    Paul said he prayed for the Ephesians that they would "know... what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us." Why would Paul bother to pray that they'd KNOW such a thing, and why would it matter if we knew this power?

    OPEN: The first church I served was in a quaint resort town called Hamilton, IN. It was a nice little town. A peaceful and quiet community. Well, except for that one time when the State police sent several officers as well as (pause) a bomb squad to the home of one of the residents there. It seems ...read more

    An attitude of envy can be a destructive force in any life. Envy is a serious danger, for it can make us unclean & unspiritual & rob us of our salvation. It is not a desirable trait to have in our lives.

    There’s something missing in the lives of so many of God’s people, and it’s called JOY. God’s desire is that we would experience fullness of joy, and rivers of pleasure.

    FULNESS OF JOY AND RIVERS OF PLEASURE: By Pastor Chris Jordan This morning when you woke up, I hope that your heart was the same as mine, and that you said as the Psalmist David did, “I was glad when they said unto me, let us go to the house of the Lord!” (Psalm 122:1).

    The sacrificial system points to God’s desire to save his people, the seriousness of our sin and God’s willingness to forgive. Tying the OT sacrificial system to the sacrifice of Christ.

    Many people begin to read about the Old Testament sacrificial system and think something like: “Why all the blood? Why all this slaughtering of animals? It seems so gruesome and disgusting. Why did God require all of that? What was the purpose?” Confusing as it is, the Old Testament ...read more
