    Contributed by David Owens on Apr 10, 2023
     | 3,590 views

    The Roman centurion had a front row seat in the trial and crucifixion of Jesus and all that he saw and heard led him to concluded that "Truly this man was the son of God." In this sermon, we consider what led him to that conclusion and how it can lead us to the same conclusion.

    A. Once there was a Sunday school teacher who had given her class an assignment to read Isaiah chapter 9. 1. The next Sunday, she asked the class how many had remembered to read the chapter and every hand went up. 2. “Wonderful!,” she said, “And I’ve got a piece of candy for everyone who can ...read more

    Our need to be part of a community of believers.

    Falling Away April 23, 2023 I really believe God has a sense of humor. I also believe God can be really sarcastic! If you read the Bible you will see some of His questions lead me to that conclusion. But I also believe that because God created me in His image and I’m that way. So, that’s my ...read more

    Contributed by Todd Catteau on Apr 26, 2023
     | 2,004 views

    Part 2 in a series of sermons from the short and often neglected letter of Jude. Jude reveals the nature of the false teaching and the character of the false teachers.

    Open back up to Jude. Last week we discussed some introductory matters (vv 1-4). Jude is one of the most neglected books of the Bible because of its brevity, difficult subject matter (judgment of false teachers), and its reference to non-canonical books (we will address that today). Written by ...read more

    Contributed by Howard Strickland on May 1, 2023

    Jesus is the true king over everything. He proved his authority by resurrecting from the dead. Can you imagine the power of God behind Jesus’ resurrection? 
Can you imagine the power of God that brought salvation?

    Love Reigns (Easter) Week 1. Matthew 27:32-42.   As Jesus was being crucified, the soldiers mocked him by placing a crown of thorns on his head and placing a sign over his head that read, “King of the Jews.” They did not see him as the true King who rules and reigns. After Jesus’ ...read more

    The King Of Truth

     | 1,347 views

    People often become obsessed with royalty because they need someone to look up to, to be part of something larger than themselves. But they are always disappointed.

    We fought a war, once, to get rid of a king. Two hundred and twenty-two years ago Americans took up arms to win our independence from King George III of England. Some of the biggest issues were trade and taxes, sound familiar? “Fast Track” and IRS reform, 18th-century style. I suppose it’s always ...read more

    The God Of Great Turnarounds Series

     | 2,794 views

    The story of Esther and Mordecai is full of plot twists, unexpected outcomes, and surprise endings, all reminding us that we serve a God of great turnarounds. Do we have “Hamans” in our lives? From the story of Esther and Mordecai we can draw encouragement for our lives today.

    Introduction Video Ill.: The Story of Esther - Second Look Films (segment 4) We are continuing our study today based loosely on Max Lucado’s book, You Were Made for This Moment.

    For The Sake Of The Call

     | 3,325 views

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

    This sermon takes a look at our foundation as Christians.

    ENGAGE: The gospel is the ultimate truth that brings us hope, peace, and salvation to all who believe in it.

It gives us a ...read more
