    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jun 19, 2018
     | 3,646 views

    This is a mini sermon used to exhort the congregation before the giving of tithes and offerings. It's designed to help them understand why Jesus' mission (saving souls) must be their mission and the role giving plays in accomplishing it.

    Turn with me to Matthew 4. We’re going to read verses 17-20. (17) From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (18) And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the ...read more

    The church must stop being reactive and always playing defense to satan’s attacks! It’s high time the church mounted, an offensive attack and became proactive against the never ending attack of the accuser!

    There is Hope As of today, there are people all over the world, sitting around and thinking about a lot of things. Will the economy rebound and what about the stock market? Am I going to be able to continue to work? When will all this end? When will things get back to normal? TBS. (now keep ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 3,891 views

    The act of playing the game after careful preparation is what the world is all about. Practicing and learning go for nothing if we don’t go out and use our skills. There comes a moment in time when we need to leave the safety of our pews and go out and me

    The words of the Gospel from Matthew 22:16-20 are known as, “The Great Commissioning”. Jesus said “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Listen to the words: Go and make.

    based on 1 rating
     | 16,953 views

    What really allowed Jesus to sleep through such a storm was His trust in His Father. He knew He was safe, because He was in His Father’s hands. We can survive any storm that comes our way when we learn to live as people of faith.

    Faith in the Midst of the Storm Mark 4:35-41 35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, "Let us go over to the other side." 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 11,584 views

    Deep divisions over politics, pandemic responses, vaccines, racial and ethnic justice, and many other issues abound. The church should be a safe haven from the divisiveness. How do we live together in unity that the psalmist celebrates? What does it mean to live in unity with today’s realities?

    Sermon - A Celebration of Unity Scripture Text - Psalm 133:1-3 “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;3 As ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 1,574 views

    If we want to have the special protection of God, we must trust God like David trusted Him. Only when our lives are in God’s hands and He becomes our shield and defender will our lives be safe and protected from every harm and attack that is aimed at us.

    Let us read 2 Corinthians 9:8, “Besides, God is able to make every blessing of yours overflow for you, so that in every situation you will always have all you need for any good work.” (ISV) God is able to make every blessing overflow on us, and this is applicable to every area of our lives.

    based on 51 ratings
     | 4,498 views

    As a kid, we loved nicknames. It meant acceptance, identity. Once playing baseball, someone called me, "Slugger." Thrilling. What must it feel like to have the Lord give you a name? Fulfill your potential.

    A Man Called Peter John 1:40-42 Intro. Opening day of the 1954 baseball season. A rookie named Jim Greengrass put on a stellar performance. With a made for baseball name, he went 3 for 4 with a couple of extra-base hits. Another rookie started that day also. Didn’t do so well. Struck out 4 times, ...read more

    Lose Some Weight!

    Contributed by Tony Searles on Nov 19, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,075 views

    A little play on words here, but with a serious intent. The message encourages us to gain victories over the flesh, so that our Spirit man can flourish in the Lord, and gain strength; while our flesh "loses weight"!

    Stand & Read - 1 Cor. 3:1-7 “And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to babes in Christ. [2] I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, [3] for you are still fleshly. ...read more

    Trials play an important part in our walk of faith, as well as our knowledge of the character and faithfulness of God. Only as we learn to look to Him in faith and confidence can we hope to have our needs met.

    From Trials To Trust Text: II Kings 4: 1-7 Intro: Let’s be honest this morning. There’s not one person here that has not had to endure some trials of some sort.
