    In God We Trust

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021
     | 4,501 views

    “Do not be anxious” about what you will eat and drink. “Do not be anxious” about what you will wear. “Do not be anxious” about tomorrow

    It’s so appropriate that all our money has the motto, “In God We Trust.” To understand why it’s there, you have to go all the way back to the Civil War when a Pennsylvania pastor requested the Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, place a Christian motto on our currency. Because of this ...read more

     | 3,528 views

    If you want to lead people effectively under fire, develop a strong relationship with Christ over time, shepherd the people you lead, and exercise oversight as a willing, eager example for others to follow.

    245 years ago today, 56 of our country’s leaders signed our Declaration of Independence. It marked the birthday of the United States of America on July 4, 1776. Many people have paid tribute to that day over the years, but no one said it better than Paul Harvey on July 4, 1974, two years before our ...read more

     | 3,439 views

    Here Jesus stressed 3 essentials related to our readiness: 1. The priority for us to get ready (Matt 24:40-44). 2. The proof that we are ready (Matt 24:45-51). 3. The way to prepare (Matt 25:1-13).

    Are You On The Way Or In The Way?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Apr 5, 2022
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,034 views

    Early Jewish Christians referred to themselves as "The Way," which some have surmised comes from the book of Isaiah, where it was prophesied, "prepare the way of the Lord" (Isaiah 40:3).

    "The Way" is how Jesus referred to Himself, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6 ESV). Throughout the book of Acts, people who were followers of Jesus were not called Christians but considered "a sect of the ...read more

    This message looks at the parable of the rich man and Lazarus. All of us are going to be rewarded according to our deeds with either heaven or hell. Heaven and hell are real, and this passage shows a detailed description of each place.

    This morning’s sermon is entitled “Receiving Our Reward,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus.” All of us are going to be rewarded according to our deeds when this life is over. Some will enter into heaven and others will enter into hell. In his ...read more

    A Baptism By Fire

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 28, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,910 views

    Fire is a fierce, frightening force and we do not usually associate it with Jesus. However, this message shows how Jesus came bringing what John the Baptist calls an “unquenchable fire,” referring to God's judgement.

    A teenager walked into the local Catholic church and sat down in the confessional booth. He wanted to talk about how strict his mother had been with discipline, as he was seeking a sympathetic ear. The session began with the priest asking, “What would you like to confess, my son?” The young man ...read more

    1. Jesus was abused for us (Matt 27:26-31). 2. Jesus was assisted for us (Matt 27:31-32). 3. Jesus was in agony for us (Matt 27:33-36). 4. Jesus was antagonized for us (Matt 27:37-44). 5. Jesus was absolutely willing to save us (Luke 23:34-43).

    We are sometimes asked how to know when we have been filled with the Holy Spirit. These are my thoughts.

    Has anyone here ever grown fruit trees? Maybe an apple tree or a cherry tree. I am not a farmer or a gardener, but in 1990 we moved into a rented house we were told had five different fruit trees in the backyard.  When I heard that I thought, “wow that’ll be cool.” The day we arrived, one of ...read more

    Ask And You Shall Receive Series

     | 4,620 views

    Jesus tells us how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. We will learn that when we pray according to God’s will, that He hears and answers; but it might not be what we expect. However, it will be exactly what we need.

    This morning, we are going to look at what Jesus has to say about how to pray in a way that leads to receiving an answer. In his song “Good, Good Father,” Chris Tomlin says, “I’ve seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we’re all searching for answers only You provide. ‘Cause You ...read more

    The Vanishing Father

    Contributed by Charles Payne on Jun 12, 2025
     | 491 views

    There was a time—not so long ago—when the word “father” evoked strength, stability, and sacrificial love. When a man’s presence brought comfort, not confusion… direction, not detachment… blessing, not brokenness. But somewhere along the line, the father began to vanish.

    Nevertheless, I Have Somewhat Against Thee (Church Of Ephesus) Revelation #1

     | 421 views

    If you had been living at the time of the writing about the seven churches of Revelation, and you wanted to live in the most exciting city in the world, you probably would have selected Ephesus.

    Two hundred thirty cities dotted the coastline of Asia Minor, and many of them were great cities, but Ephesus was the queen of them all. Paul went to Ephesus on his third missionary journey. He stayed there two years. He had two things to say about those two years. Look at I Cor. 16:9, ...read more

    An Extraordinary Commission (Part 1)

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 9, 2025

     | 671 views

    Does Jesus still call and empower believers to do bold and amazing things in His name, like healing the sick, raising the dead, and casting out demons? Does this passage only apply to the first apostles, or can it be applied to us?

    I have entitled our sermon this morning, “An Extraordinary Commission,” and this is Part 1 of a two-part message. I want to begin by saying that I was raised in a small country church with a pastor who loved the Lord and His people, and proclaimed only the basics, like sin, repentance, salvation, ...read more
