But do you realize how secure we are in God's name? In today’s message, let’s listen while the psalmist tells us how great our God is.

A few weeks ago we talked about how precious God's name is and the love that is expressed to us in His name. But do you realize how secure we are in God's name? In today’s message, let’s listen while the psalmist tells us how great our God is. I'll have to admit, that even as a ...read more

The Book Of Galatians – Chapter 4:8-11 - Message 14 - Do Not Become Wallowing Sows In Bondage – Protect Your Freedom In Christ Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jun 1, 2024

The Galatians had exchanged the bondage of idolatry for the bondage of the Law. False teachers promise freedom but chain their adherents in bonds. Our freedom in Christ must be protected. Do not use your freedom as an excuse to sin.

A New Song Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

God is infinite, and therefore, only infinite creativity is worthy of Him, and adequate to glorify His name. It is also essential to keep joy alive in the worshipper. Variety is the spice of life, and a new song is like a tonic that lifts and enables us to feel afresh the love that is always there.

It is easy for us to do what the psalmist urges us to do, "Sing to the Lord a new song." The number of new songs to sing today is enormous. Back in 1891 Dr. Julian in his famous Dictionary of Hymnology examined four hundred thousand hymns, and he did not cover them all. There are, ...read more

Preservation Of Truth Commanded Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

Most Christians go their whole life and do not break some of the commandments, but it is not likely that anyone even gets through childhood without breaking this one. We talk so much about other people. We are all mini versions of the National Enquirer.

An unusual trial took place in London in 1670. The defendant was none other than the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn. He was the leader of the Society Of Friends, known as the Quakers, and he was charged with inciting a riotous, seditious assembly. Parliament had made the Quakers an object ...read more

Becoming World Class Christians Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

God was the God of Israel and Jonah wanted to keep it that way. He did not want every Tom, Dick, and Harry of the pagan world finding out about the real God. Let them perish with their stupid man-made idols. That is what they deserve.

Trying to be a world class Christian can be a world class pain. Ralph Hult learned this the hard way. This Nebraska born Swede at age 32 went to Africa as a missionary, but on his first furlough in 1926 he was told there was no money to send him back. So he started a fruit farm near ...read more

Whose Report Will You Believe--The Resurrection

Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Apr 9, 2021

We have a choice as to what report we will believe concerning the resurrection. Some times like Thomas, we prefer our logic over the testimony of others.

Whose Report Will You Believe---The Resurrection 4/9/2021Jeremiah 38:14-23 John 20:19:31 When you get some news, what determines whether or not you are willing to believe it? How many of us have been hesitant because the news seemed to good to be true? How many of us have rejected it, ...read more

Why Does God Need My Money? Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Apr 10, 2021

One of my favorite YouTube personalities is Joe Scott ("Answers With Joe). I like him because he is a humble man who explains the deep things in understandable ways... but he also shared that he struggled with questions that made him skeptical - such as why God "needed" our offerings.

OPEN: “YouTube” is a site where people can post videos they’ve either made or like, and some of those videos are grouped into “channels” (like a TV channel). I have my own channel where I’ve put songs I’ve sung by myself or with the SonShine Boys. Now some of these channels are more popular than ...read more

"father Into Thy Hands" Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Apr 13, 2021

The cross was perpetually present to the mind of Christ. He was always moving toward that cross as a Victor, not a victim. He was always moving toward the ultimate final victory over sin and death

"Father into Thy Hands" Luke 23:46 The cross of Jesus Christ is the center of everything. Early in the Gospels we hear Christ declaring that He set His face steadfastly toward Jerusalem and the cross. His entire life was spent in the shadow of the cross. Isaiah 50:4–11 speaks of the ...read more

Living With Lament Series

Contributed by David Owens on Sep 21, 2020

In this last sermon of the series on grief and lament, we explore and engage in how to live with lament. How to employ it with cases of overwhelming grief, and with cases of everyday, minor grief. The sermon ends with two examples of lament prayers.

A. Back in May, during our series about hope, I opened a sermon with a story that I want to use again today as our launching point. 1.

The Surety Of God's Love

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Feb 8, 2022

With all of this unrest in our country, some people may wonder where God is in all of this. Others are tempted to question God's goodness. But just because there is human hatred and violence in our presence, this in no way negates God's goodness and love.

This probably comes as no surprise to you, but since covid-19 rearranged so many of our lives and schedules, we have changed how much time we spend looking at a screen, whether it's a tv, smartphone, laptop, or computer screen.

Blessed Are The Peacemakers?

Contributed by Dr. Jerry Hulse on Aug 23, 2022

Peacemakers are called the Sons of God because they have been given new hearts through the work of grace to reflect the peace of Christ to a hurting world, for those who bring the message of God’s peace to the world are "peacemakers," and Jesus calls them "The Children of God."
