    What it takes to avoid hell.

    INTRO.- This is not a popular subject. Never has been. Never will be. But it is necessary. ILL.- On an American troopship, the soldiers crowded around their chaplain asking, “Do you believe in hell?” He said, “I do not.” “Well, then, will you please resign, for if there is no hell, we do not ...read more

    In this text, Paul lists some good friends, which could be categorized in this way. 1- Staying friends 2- Praying friends 3- Straying friends

    INTRO.- Do you know what is closer than a brother? A good friend. A faithful friend is closer than a brother. Prov. 18:24 “A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.” Do you have a friend who sticks closer than a brother? Or did you ever? ...read more

    Slave Or Free? Series

    The world believes that if they can be free of God, they’ll be free to do as they wish? But the Bible teaches us that everyone is a slave to something, but does that really make sense?

    OPEN: I’m not sure who wrote the following words, but this story says a lot about mankind: When my oldest son was about three years old, I was outside doing some yard work one afternoon. I took Kevin outside to play while I trimmed the hedges. Holding his hand, I knelt down beside him so that we ...read more

    An Eggsample Of Folly

    We are often like the character Humpty Dumpty. Peter was too.

    Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall, all the King’s horses and all the King’s men could not put Humpty Dumpty together again! There is more than a nursery rhyme there. It is a parable of life, its injuries and the failure of human effort alone. This is an EGGsample of ...read more

    A great basketball player knows where the goal is at and continually practices until his body instinctively know how to put the basket through the hoop. Knowing where the goal is important in any sport... and it’s important in Christianity as well.

    OPEN: We opened with a youtube video that highlighted the basketball career of Bill Bradley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_BJg4rhFNs (24 second begin… 3:25 end) In 1964, Bill Bradley was captain of the Olympic Basketball team that won gold at Tokyo.

    Are You Fit To Be Tied? Part Iv

    These days we often hear the question, "Why are there so many divorces?" The answer to that question is found in the Word of God. It is because of sin.

    All across this nation we have lost our fear of sin. Fear will cause us to protect ourselves and avoid what is harmful to us. Illus: Most of us have a real healthy fear of snakes. This is a healthy fear because it keeps us from being harmed. If we were not afraid of snakes we might carry them ...read more

    In this text we are going to talk about something that most folks do not like to talk about, that is SNAKES!

    Illus: When it comes to snakes, most of us are like the fellow who said that the only kind of snakes he likes are dead snakes. However, we all have seen some people who enjoy playing with these slimy creatures. Every time we see people doing this, we experience a comforting feeling from within ...read more

    The tenth chapter of Matthew tells of Jesus’ sending the twelve disciples to the lost house of Israel.

    He tells them, in verse 16, “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves...” In verses 17-27 Jesus warned the twelve disciples that they might as well expect the same treatment that He had received. Then He explained in verse 24, “The disciple is not above his master, nor the ...read more

    This sermon explores principles that can help us get "unstuck" in life from a little book by Travis L. Thomas titled "3 Words for Getting Unstuck: Live Yes, And!" alongside the text of Hebrews 10:1-18.

    Unstuck By Grace I. INTRODUCTION: Today is my birthday! I am 43 years old. I am a Gen-Xer. We were born at a transitional moment in history where technology began to boom just as we were born.

    Sermon # 29 - The Power Of Corporate Prayer Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 20, 2025

     | 759 views

    Something happens when people gather together to pray. The early church experienced this in a mighty way and they witnessed astounding miracles because they prayed together. Only when families and churches pray together will we be able to see a revival in these last days.

    For our meditation I have chosen Act 4:31,“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” (AFV) It is a fact that whenever we as a church gather and pray together, there will ...read more

    Do All To The Glory Of God

    Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Aug 18, 2025
     | 352 views

    As Christians, we are to live in a way that glorifies God. That is the message of the last part of First Corinthians chapter ten. Verse 31 there says that “whatever you do, do all the glory of God.” But we have to be careful, we may do things that do not give glory to God.

    Alba 8-17-2025 DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD I Corinthians 10:23-33 Dan Blocker played the character Hoss on the TV series Bonanza. When Dan Blocker died unexpectedly at age 43, Hoss died. The producers knew they could not replace him. So they told the story that a woman was caught in a flood, and ...read more

    I give my full permission for this sermon to be used in its fullest for the glory of God. The parable of the Talents is a glimpse of the Judgment Seat of Christ and the importance of being prepared for that moment.

    PARABLE OF THE TALENTS Please open your Bible to Matthew 25 as we continue with our eternal reward series with today’s message, “The Parable of the Talents.” The parable of the talents is a behind the scene glimpse of what it will be like when we stand before Jesus Christ, the eternal King of the ...read more

    How the Bible and Prayer became real for me.

    “School Days are the happiest days of your life” so they say. Well, they weren`t for me - they were miserable. It was my own fault, of course, because at school I was lazy and lessons were a BORE. I couldn`t see any point to learning History and Geography, and French and Latin, though Math ...read more
