    It All Began At Pentecost!

    Contributed by Jim Mccutchen on Nov 8, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,451 views

    The ushering in of the church of our Lord knew nothing of prayerless pews and lame excuses. The early Church began in that upper Room with about 120. They were in one accord, in one place lead by one Spirit.

    It all Began on Pentecost! Intro: As we travel thru the book of Acts our first stop will be Acts Chapter two. This is where the Church began. What was the message of the church? What was the purpose of the church. How did the church come about? How relevant is the church? All these ...read more

    Loving Love

     | 22,136 views

    God’s love is so misunderstood. This message looks at a prophecy delivered in 2008 about what God’s love means.

    God is good. All the time. To me. Say it again. God is good. All the time. To me! Praise the Lord! A couple of weeks ago I was reading through some of the prophecies that have come forth here in this church. I came across one from 2008 that’s titled “Love, Repentance, and Judgment.” As I started ...read more

    It's Good To Be Home - A Homecoming Service Sermon

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 28, 2023
     | 3,663 views

    If you’ve ever been traveling for a long time, one of the first things we say when we get home is “it’s good to be home!” The same is true about our spiritual home on earth, the church. By studying the story of the lost boy, we can see why “it’s good to be home!”

    Introduction Video Ill.: The Prodigal (Abridged) - The Skit Guys The Dream Home Is Dead Source: Adapted from Julie Kilcur, “The Dream Home Is Dead,” CT magazine (September, 2020), pp. 33-40 https://www.preachingtoday.com/illustrations/2022/november/dream-home-is-dead.html Copied from Preaching ...read more

     | 18,285 views

    When we’re confronted with desperate times, we can’t just do things the way we’ve always been doing them.

    - Have you ever been really desperate about something? o Maybe you lost your job and didn’t have any way to pay your bills or didn’t have any place to go. o Maybe you lost your home or your insurance and you didn’t know what you were going to do. - I think the most helplessly ...read more

    Peace With Jesus – Because He Became A Man Series

     | 5,035 views

    A look at how personal the rescue mission of the incarnation is. A reminder that Jesus becoming flesh means He relates to us completely

    You know the Christmas story. He was with God in the beginning. He was God. Through Him, all things were made. Jesus was there. The angels, also there, watched and shouted for joy as the Almighty, 3-in-1, spoke the physical realm into existence out of nothing, all for His glory and pleasure; a ...read more

    Sought By God

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 24, 2022
     | 2,296 views

    The evil and wickedness we are seeing in the world is breaking God’s heart. And He’s looking for a people to work with Him to give those who don’t know Jesus an opportunity to avoid the lake of fire.

    Turn with me to Genesis 18. I want to look at Genesis 18, but probably not for the reason that it was written. Oh, so you are going to take scripture out of context? No. You are getting ready to make scripture mean something that it doesn’t mean? No. It’s just that there so much that we can learn ...read more

    In this lesson, we learn about the justice of God.

    Introduction I am currently preaching a series of sermons that I am calling, “Glory: The Character of God.” In this five-week-long series, I am exploring God’s self-revelation of himself to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7. I am concluding this series today. So far in this sermon series, we have examined ...read more

    How do you explain that when people want to curse, they don’t say, “Muhammed,” but they swear by saying the words “Jesus Christ”? Why do Muslims, Sikhs, Mormons, Unitarians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Deists all find a way to incorporate Jesus into their religion?

    Have you heard someone say, “I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if I were you?” There are a lot you cannot of people you cannot count on. But there’s one you can bet the farm on, and His name is Jesus. Find John 7 with me, if you will. Jesus finds Himself poked and prodded by the public in every ...read more

     | 868 views

    Message introduces a series examining the Gifts of the Spirit. In the first half, the series entitled Foundations for Worship is reviewed, teaching the relational nature of the gifts. In the second half, God's purpose for the gifts is explained.

    Intro Today, we begin a series on the gifts of the Spirit. This is a challenging subject because the goal is not just more knowledge about the gifts but knowledge that releases us into the actual exercise of the gifts in our personal lives and in the corporate life of this church. “Be ye doers of ...read more

    Encourage: The Power Of Gathering Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 19, 2024
     | 1,028 views

    Christians were never meant to journey alone. The church provides essential encouragement through fellowship offering mutual support, worship lifting our spirits, and shared experiences strengthening our bonds. We need to actively encourage one another, following the early church's example.

    Introduction Video Ill.: Iron — FreeBridge Media We need each other. We were not made to walk through this life alone. I believe that is one of the reasons that the early church gathered so frequently and so often. I believe that is why they were devoted together.   In Acts 2:42, we ...read more

    Don't Be A Show Off

    Contributed by Jeffrey Sims on Dec 14, 2018
     | 6,489 views

    This could be used as a stewardship sermon and hopefully would get people to realize that their is more to being a Christian than just filling a pew. Hopefully this sermon compels people to look beyond the superficial and truly look to their heart.

    (a note about the opening illustration; It is not my own but i don't know where I actually found it originally, it is tucked away with some notes I have.) There was a man who called a church and asked if he could speak to the Head Hog at the trough. The secretary said, "Who?" Then ...read more

    Research indicates that it takes the average American church in the course of a year 85 members to bring one person to faith in Christ. What are we doing wrong? What should we be doing?

    Research shows that Dads play an indispensable role in the nurture and raising of children, giving children a sense of security, formulating personality & moral development, and modeling how women should be treated.

    It is the cross and the promise of a life after this one that makes this world, with all its ups and down, with all its sorrow, with all its conflicts and challenges all that much more bearable when we know that all of this is just temporary.

    “There’s no place like home.” Who said it? Right … Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Why is that line so iconic? As soon as you hear it, you see Dorothy … aka Judy Garland … holding Toto, clicking the heels of her ruby red slippers three times, and uttering the words … “There’s no place like ...read more
