Encouraging Dads To Tell Their Story Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 8, 2021

You see, the gospel is not just something you hold onto but the gospel has its hold on you. The power of the Gospel on a person is most evident when you see its hold on a person.

Happy Father’s Day! Dads, there are too few good fathers around. Dads, I want to speak to encourage you to deepen your commitment to living a life of integrity in Christ. To know Jesus is to have a story of how you came to know Jesus. This story is often referred to as your “testimony.” In fact, ...read more

Jesus Before Herod Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 20, 2023

Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more

Good-Bye To A Good Man (Funeral)

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jan 7, 2020

The highest and most powerful compliment you can give a person today is to call them a “good person” and sincerely mean it. Charlie Nanney was a good man … Charlie Nanney was a great man.

Charlie was a piece of work, amen? A genuine … one-of-a-kind … masterpiece … Hand-crafted by the very Master Craftsman Himself … And this is how he saw all of you … as genuine … one-of-a-kind … lovingly hand-crafted masterpieces. That’s how he saw everybody. That’s how he treated ...read more

To Whom Are You Yielding?

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jan 21, 2020

Most of us understand that when a person yields, he’s allowing the other person “to go.” This message is a somewhat detailed look at Romans 6 and what it means to yield according to scripture.

According to the Bible, Satan cannot force a person to do anything and God will not force a person to do anything. The title of the message is “To Whom Are You Yielding?” I am going to paint a image of “yielding” that we know and understand, but it is not the yielding that’s described in the ...read more

The Messiah’s Purpose, Suffering, And Mission Series

Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jun 8, 2025

The person who is self-reliant – who trusts in their own ability – will face God’s judgment! We must understand that this is the challenge of every person on the Earth, and why God is so CLEAR on this requirement.

Win As Many As Possible

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jun 29, 2025

If we look at the world as the Lord does, we will, like the apostle Paul, see every person as one for whom Christ died, a person whom the Lord loves and desires to be in His family.

Reset! Series

Contributed by Scott Turansky on Jul 27, 2022

young people, I would encourage you to understand the code. Where are you going to find out the code? You're going to find it in your own personal walk and your own personal Bible study. As you open the Bible regularly and you understand what God has for you personally.

I'm a Mac guy. I love my Mac toys. I've got a Mac watch, I've got my phone, I've got my iPad that I actually run the presentation with on Sunday morning. I enjoy my Mac toys until I get the little colorful wheel on my computer that freezes my computer and I can't do anything and ...read more

Dos And Don'ts Of Salvation

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 22, 2021

A defibrillator can’t save someone while it’s in its cabinet. It has to be taken down and operated. In the same way, Jesus’ death and resurrection don’t save a person unless a person makes use of them. A person has to respond to them. There are some 'dos' and 'don'ts'.

In recent years something new has appeared on many high streets: defibrillators. Defibrillators can be life-savers if someone suffers a heart attack. They aren’t only on high streets, of course. I like to do ‘Park Run’ (when it’s happening!) and lots of Park Runs have defibrillators. You often ...read more

Beyond Sunday (Love And Sunday Service) Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Aug 26, 2016

Beyond Sunday is about being a person who is after God’s own heart – a person who loves God first and foremost – who places their love relationship number one in their life – the person who does the One Thing – the greatest thing first with God/Jesus love

Beyond Sunday pt. 1 Introduction to Beyond Sunday Series: Our new series is designed and I believe inspired by the Holy Spirit to show how Christianity is not just about going to church on Sunday morning.

Reckless Worship

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Apr 7, 2019

Mary, the sister of Lazarus, points us to reckless worship that is costly, active, personal, and sometimes judged.

John 12:1-8 Reckless Worship Every time you see Mary, the sister of Lazarus, in scripture, you find her sitting at the feet of Jesus (Luke 10:39; John 11:32; 12:3). This lady knew how to worship. She knew—when many others did not—that Jesus was the long-awaited Christ. After all, he raised her ...read more

Ministry: A Call Without Compromise

Contributed by James H Boyd on Aug 29, 2003

In this study, we will examine how a person comes to occupy the ministry office, including the nature of the calling, the qualifications necessary to meet that calling and the avenue through which a person must go in order to answer the calling.

Transcending The World's Limits

Contributed by Robert Massey on Apr 8, 2002

God has a plan for each person’s life, He desires that we be molded into His image, not by the world’s standards. Here are three steps to being what God desires for you to be.

Let me start this morning by asking a question. How many times have you heard someone say, “I going to do my own thing.” I don’t want any part of church, I don’t want any part of Christianity, and I don’t want any part of Christ, because I want to live my life the way that I want to.

False Faith: Faith Amnesia Series

Contributed by Peter Loughman on Oct 14, 2007

Faith is about trusting in a person. Faith is not about stuff. It is not about things happening or things not. It is not about things coming together. It is not about a happy feeling or a secure moment or even knowledge - it is about a person.

Richard Dawkins, the famous Oxford zoologist said, “Faith is the great copout, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, a lack of evidence.” Does Jesus prove Richard Dawkins right in our passage today? Jesus is asked ...read more
