     | 794 views

    Our true identity is not defined by the world’s shifting standards but by the unchanging grace of Jesus Christ, who makes us new, adopts us as His children, sets us apart for His purpose, and secures our citizenship in heaven

    Who I am in Christ Do you know who you are? John Newton was born in England in the early 1700s. His mother, a devoted Christian, taught him Scripture and planted seeds of faith in his young heart. But when she died tragically at the age of seven, Newton’s world was shattered.

    Who Picked Up The Tab? Series

    Contributed by Mark Opperman on Jun 7, 2011
     | 5,691 views

    Let’s look at a few thoughts that will help us understand how faith can make us right with God – nothing else can! Trusting God that what Jesus did on the cross was enough to take away our sins – that is the faith we all need today!

    Who Picked Up the Tab? Romans 4:1-8 Intro: Back when we were young, dumb, and kid-free, we rode AmTrak all the way from Southeastern Nebraska to Baker City. At some point on our return trip (which started in Portland), we realized that we hadn’t planned very well and were short on food and ...read more

    Reviewing the response of believers when they no longer represent the majority views in society.

    “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God ...read more

    The Prodigal Who Stayed Home

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 16, 2005
    based on 29 ratings
     | 12,203 views

    How do you know if you are inching away from a relationship with God? The story of the Prodigal Son features two sons - this is the one who don’t often hear about. Yet he usually bears the closest resemblance to those in the church.

    The Prodigal Who Stayed Home Luke 15:1, 2, and 25-32 "Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such despicable people - even eating with them!" These two verses from ...read more

    The Prodigal Who Stayed Home Series

    Contributed by Steven Chapman on Jun 22, 2015
     | 11,292 views

    This message speaks of the son of interest to Jesus in his most well-known story - not on the prodigal who left home, but the prodigal who stayed home. Of particular interest is the difference in this son's response and the Fathers to the other.

    The Prodigal Who Stayed Home Luke 15:1, 2, and 25-32 "Tax collectors and other notorious sinners often came to listen to Jesus teach. This made the Pharisees and teachers of religious law complain that he was associating with such despicable people - even eating with them!" These two verses from ...read more

    Joshua, Pt. 3

    WHO’S IN CHARGE? (JOSHUA 3:1-17) Famed Japanese director Akira Kurosawabest’s black and white movie “Ikiru” certainly makes one ponder about life’s meaning and purpose.

     | 27,252 views

    What's wrong with a little pride? Apparently quite a bit. Learn the effect pride had on King Uzziah, on you... and perhaps the influence it had one of the great prophets of the Old Testament.

    OPEN: A man by the name of Keith Miller told of the time when his daughters were very young. They’d drop them off at the church's children's chapel on Sundays before the 11 am service. But one day Keith chanced to be in the class when the preacher was telling the story for the day to the ...read more

    The God Who We Worship

    Contributed by Mike Bryant on Mar 26, 2021
     | 3,803 views

    God is worthy of worship because of His nature. This sermon considers how various aspects of God's nature should shape our worship of Him, lest it become meaningless with repetition.

    I. In the novel “The American” by Henry James, Count Valentin remarks to Newman about some of the terrible things Newman has endured. “You’ve spent some awful, some deadly days, and you’ve done some extremely disagreeable things: you’ve shoveled sand, as a boy, for supper, and you’ve eaten cat in a ...read more

    The story revolves around Judith; a daring and beautiful widow upset with her Jewish compatriots for not trusting God to deliver them from their Seleucid monarchs.

    The Book of Judith is a deuterocanonical[a] book, included in the Septuagint and the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian Old Testament of the Bible but excluded from the Hebrew canon and assigned by Protestants to the Apocrypha. It tells of a Jewish widow, Judith, who uses her beauty and ...read more

    In today's sermon we examine the actions of one who forgives.

    Scripture Two weeks ago I started a short series of sermons called “Forgiveness and Reconciliation” from Paul’s letter to Philemon. Part of the reason I am preaching this series is because I want to learn how, when I sin (and I do sin all the time), to repent well, and to seek ...read more

    Who Gets Your Blessing? Series

     | 7,718 views

    We do not obtain the blessings of God because we deserve them. We obtain them because He loves us and it brings Him glory.

    Who Gets Your Blessing? One of the most dramatically unqualified biblical heroes I can think of is Jacob. He was a liar, a con, a trickster, a fraud. He spent much of his life haunted by bad decisions and exiled to the chaos of self-inflicted consequences. And yet God called him, chose him, and ...read more

     | 3,601 views

    We can either have a faith that fails us or a faith that pleases God. We need to do some soul searching to see what type we have.

    INTRODUCTION Jesus performed many miracles as recorded in the Four Gospels. In those miracles, many times Jesus healed someone who was paralyzed. Just a couple of weeks ago, we looked at the man by the Pool of Bethesda near the Sheep Gate who had been waiting thirty-eight years to be healed. And ...read more

    God delivered the Israelites from Egypt. He has also delivered us. The Israelites complained and grumbled all the way, and so do we, that is the power of God, his presence and change can truly be felt.

    When the Lamb takes the sealed scroll, all heaven erupts in a song of praise to the Lamb & falls down in worship before Him. For He alone is worthy. He alone can bring about the redemption of man & the purpose for which man & earth were created
