    The Lion, The Lamb And The Throne Room Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 19, 2016
    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,697 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

    "The Good, the Better, and the Best!" Luke 10:38-42 Luke 10:38 Now it came to pass, as they went, that he entered into a certain village: and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 40 But ...read more

    Jesus came to do 2 things: save the lost and build His church. But how was He going to build His church and what tool did He give us to use to help Him do that?

    There’s a true story about a young boy named “Greggy” who was playing on beach. He spent long hours working on intricate sand castles; whole cities would appear beneath his hands. But then one day, some bullies came along and the kicked and smashed them all. And they did this day after day after ...read more

    The blind saw Jesus, but the Pharisees couldn't. What were the differences in their blindnesses and what can we learn from the man born blind?

    (Before reading the text and opening with prayer, we sang the following chorus: “I saw the light, I saw the light No more darkness, no more night Now I’m so happy, no sorrow in sight For praise the Lord… I saw the light.”) OPEN: When I’m preparing for a sermon, a lot of times I’ll take little ...read more

     | 3,536 views

    This message explores Jesus' connection to the Old Testament, particularly in the laws of sacrifice and atonement, and how the Old Testament sacrificial system was necessary, pointing us the the long awaited Messiah who would be the Lamb of God sacrificed for the sins of the world.

    The Perfect Father Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Jun 19, 2017
    based on 6 ratings
     | 16,470 views

    The Lord's Prayer tells us God is our "Heavenly Father". That implies that God uses the better tendencies of earthly fathers to communicate who He is. So, what are the traits of decent Earthly fathers?

    (Explanation of opening: The traditionally memorized version of the Lord’s Prayer is found only in the KJV. Since we have ESV pew Bibles – which leave off the last verse – I felt that would create confusion as to why that verse was missing. I didn’t want to go there, so I put the KJV on screen and ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,398 views

    The Bible tells us we should "Run in such a way as to get the prize." But there's one part of the race that's crucially important for us. Do you know what that is?

    I love this church. It’s so great to have this kind of worship where our Hispanic and Anglo congregations can get together, pray, sing praises and study God’s Word together. I’ve preached for about 24 years now, and every couple of years or so, I’ve preached the type of sermon I’m going to preach ...read more

    What A Wonderful World Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Sep 17, 2017
    based on 4 ratings
     | 20,875 views

    When we "Contend For The Faith" we need to realize the importance of contending for the fact that we have been created in the image of God. We're not an accident - we have value and a reason to live. But if folks damage that "image" how can they fix that?

    (We started out the sermon with a video from BBC One Videos - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auSo1MyWf8g - which displays the wonder of God’s creation accompanied by a poetic reading of the song “What A Wonderful World”) What a wonderful world we live in. The Psalmist observed “When I look at ...read more

     | 2,458 views

    This the second sermon in a series based on The Book of Proverbs. Based on the TV game show "Let's Make a Deal," in which contestants struggle with the desire of their hearts -- to win "big" prizes or money, the choices we reveal the desires of our heart.

    I’m going to assume that you all are familiar with a popular little game show called “Let’s Make a Deal.” It’s been on for, like, ever it seems. The “contestants” are offered various “mystery prizes” to choose from. Some of the prizes are really amazing and some of the prizes … well, they’re ...read more

    Faith That Follows reminds us that real faith doesn’t just believe—it moves. Like John the Baptist, we’re called to embrace our role in God’s mission. When we follow where the Holy Spirit leads, even ordinary moments can become divine appointments that change lives.

    God’s strength never fails; when we are weary, He renews us, teaching us to hope, trust, and find fresh power in His presence.

    Some of us walked in today with a brave face and a tired heart. Bills and busyness have been barking at your heels. Sleep has been thin. Relationships feel fragile. The headlines howl. And somewhere deep inside, a whisper rises: “I’m worn down.” If that’s you, friend, you are in good company. The ...read more
