Silence Series

Contributed by Steve Ely on Jul 5, 2022

Filters are important because without them things don’t operate properly. Are you living life unfiltered?

No Filter Pt. 1 – Silence In an age where things that are not real are promoted as reality it would serve to reason that in church, we would tell you to live with no filter since we are taught by our Savior to live authentic and genuine lives. However, I want to tell you that filters are an ...read more

The God Of Hope

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Jul 12, 2022

Even though the English word “hope’ may have an element of uncertainty in it, the Greek word in the New Testament always speaks of a sure expectation of some good outcome or positive result. There is a certainty in the hope given in the biblical record.

Alba 7-10-2022 THE GOD OF HOPE Romans 15:7-13 In one of Charles Shulz's Peanut’s cartoons, Lucy and Linus are sitting in front of the television set when Lucy says to Linus, “Go get me a glass of water.” Linus looks surprised, “Why should I do anything for you? You never do anything for me.” ...read more

Advancing Through The Challenges Series

Contributed by John Dobbs on Jul 14, 2022

In today’s text I’m more interested in noting the message to the Philippians that can FUEL THEIR FAITH … Paul’s message is that Christians are Advancing Through The Challenges.

Advancing Through The Challenges Philippians 1:12-20 Introduction American Ninja Warrior is a television show in its 14th season on NBC. People as young as 15 years old from all over America compete on the world’s most difficult obstacle courses. “A top prize of $1 million ...read more

Church Buildings?

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 9, 2022

What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

Church Buildings? John 4:7-42 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz New American Standard 1995 John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water.

Build The Church By Being The Church

Contributed by Paul Woodhouse on Aug 16, 2022

Nehemiah has notable character strengths which enabled the Jews to deal with conflict and injustice among them.

There exists a direct correlation between the effectiveness of our mission and how we treat one another as God’s people. We must be the church before we can build the church. We must care for one another before we can hope to reach our neighborhood, this city, the world. *No one is going to ...read more

Our Final Flight Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 17, 2022

Funeral Sermon: This message was written for the death of a pilot. It shows how aviation is a metaphor for life, with its highs and lows. It was written primarily for the survivors, to help them lean on God during the difficult days ahead.

We are gathered here today to remember and celebrate the life of George Royalty; and I want to hone in on a brief chapter of his life – one of the most memorable – which was his pursuit of aviation; a pursuit he undertook with his son. I got to meet George and talk with him a couple of times, such ...read more

The Siege Of Jerusalem

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Feb 1, 2022

We probably don't like to think about God's justice. The siege of Jerusalem by the Romans, in A.D. 70, forces us to. In this event we see God's justice but we also see that God protected his people in a time of wrath.

Note: this was a talk I gave to a small afternoon congregation. I wouldn’t give it in our main morning service. INTRODUCTION We’re presently following the theme of discipleship, picking up some of the big things that are part of being a follower of Jesus. But it’s good to have some variety so ...read more

Happy New Year…maybe!

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 23, 2022

I want to wish each of you a HAPPY NEW YEAR! But my wishing you a HAPPY NEW YEAR is not a gurantee that you will have one.

What will guarantee you a HAPPY NEW YEAR is the things I want to share with you from God’s Word.

Victorious Christianity

Contributed by Dennis Lee on May 1, 2022

This Sunday we’ll be looking at how as believers we are victorious and that nothing can separate us from the love that God has for us through Christ because in and through Him we are more than conquerors. And then we’ll look at the preeminence of Christ that seals the deal.

Victorious Christianity Romans 8:35-37 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=781uf4ezvXY As I was looking at the Love of Christ last week, and how it constrains us, that is, how it restrains us but at the same time compels us, right before that Paul said something that follows through on his ...read more

The Branch Of Motherhood (Mother's Day 2022 Version)

Contributed by John Williams Iii on May 4, 2022

How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about. John 15:1 - 8 echoes Ezekiel 19:10.

THE BRANCH OF MOTHERHOOD Texts: Ezekiel 19:10 & John 15:1- 8 Ezekiel 19:10  Your mother was like a vine in a vineyard transplanted by the water, fruitful and full of branches from abundant water (NRSV). John 15:1-8  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. ...read more

Contributed by John Gaston on May 7, 2022

Mothers are the most powerful people in the world because they shape the next generation into what they will be. Jochebed, by her faith and trust in God, brought down the Egypt, which had dominated her nation for 400 years!

The Zealot Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 8, 2022

Ordinarily a zealot like Simon would have killed a tax collector like Matthew - but he didn't. Why not?

OPEN: This morning I want to talk to you about the periodic table (we showed a periodic table on the screen). On this periodic table are two elements that I find intriguing. One of these is Sodium. Sodium is the 6th most abundant element in the Earth's crust (did you know that?) As a solid, ...read more
