    Our country/world is experiencing a time of darkness. I want to give you 3 causes for HOPE: a. It’s NOT as dark as you think; b. the Light of the world has come; and c. the Light will triumph in the end!

    A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS Isaiah 42:16 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: APPRECIATE YOUR LOYALTY 1. A little old lady got into an argument with her pastor. It got rather abrasive. The pastor thought he would never see her again, however she showed up for the next service. 2. “I thought you’d be gone for ...read more

     | 7,158 views

    We often think of God's will as something that will involve doing difficult or complicated things. Our text gives us three simple things we can do to be living in God's will every day.

    God’s Will for Us 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 Preached at Church of God December 2019 INTRODUCTION: We all share a faith in the God who made us, and saved us, and who has a plan for each of us. Because of that we often ask ourselves how can I do God’s will? We ask, what is God’s will for my life? ...read more

    The Truth About Being An Intercessor/ Intercessory Prayer

    Contributed by William Tan Yh on Nov 12, 2020
     | 4,441 views

    Who can be an intercessor? Some believers have a mental picture when the word Intercessor or intercession is being spoken. They think that the intercessors are a special breed of Christian who are specially selected by God to conduct spiritual warfare. Is this really true?

    The Branch Of Motherhood

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Mar 3, 2021
     | 3,480 views

    How can we relate Mother’s Day to today’s text, John 15:1 – 8? We can relate Motherhood to today’s text by thinking of Motherhood as a branch on the Vine that Jesus is talking about.

    THE BRANCH OF MOTHERHOOD Text: John 15:1-8 John 15:1-8  "I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower.  (2)  He removes every branch in me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more fruit.  (3)  You have already been ...read more

    Do you feel or think that what you do doesn’t matter to anyone or it’s just a waste of time? Do others tell you what you do doesn’t matter or it is a waste of time?

    Wasted! Mark 14:3-9 I want to start by asking you 2 questions: 1/Do you feel or think that what you do doesn’t matter to anyone or it’s just a waste of time? 2/Do others tell you what you do doesn’t matter or it is a waste of time?

    Surprise Endings: When? Series

    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 6, 2019
     | 6,072 views

    We might think Christ will judge us based on our correct doctrine, faithful church attendance, or moral behavior. But in our text Jesus offers a different standard: our response to the needy people of this world - the least of these.

    Surprise Endings: WHEN? Matthew 25:31-46 Introduction We are at the end of our four-part sermon series called Surprise Endings. This parable is different in some ways. It does not begin with “the Kingdom of heaven is like” - leading some to believe it is not specifically a parable. It is the ...read more

    What do you think the Tent of Meeting, the Tabernacle, looked like? You might imagine it being very impressive, but not really, more than likely it looked dark, mostly black, or maybe it was a very dark shade of brown.

    What's next, Lord? I think that's the question we need to ask ourselves regularly. What's next, Lord? What are you going to do in my life next? But I think some people approach that kind of a statement with fear and trepidation. You've heard the statement: Don't pray for ...read more

    Fighting Supernatural Evil Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021
     | 4,172 views

    When you look at your life, are you filtering out supernatural evil? Do you think life’s struggles are all against “flesh and blood?” Are you assuming there are no “rulers and cosmic powers” at work in your day?

    Imagine if your friends came to you and asked, “We want you to build a bridge. We already have the materials you’ll need to build it. We already have the engineers, craftsmen for the stone and concrete, and we have plenty of construction workers available to you as well. Here are the blueprints to ...read more

    Benjamin Franklin said, "He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything els." I think that God would agree. Because He says those who deny His existence are without excuse.

    When is the last time you stopped to think about the WOW moments God has placed in your life? Consider these thoughts as our Family Minister walks us through several WOW moments in the life of the apostle John.

    Our current sermon series is entitled “Words to Live By.” Last week, we talked about “Help.” Today, we’re going to look at the word, “Wow.” We’re going to look at how God acts in our lives and leaves us saying, “Wow!” I was once told a story about a boy that was drawing a picture.

    Trusting God In Turbulent Times

    Contributed by David Owens on Oct 30, 2023
     | 4,051 views

    What should Christians think and do about the conflict in the Middle East. Does God still have a plan for the nation of Israel? These are important questions. Trusting God and praying for peace are the most important things we can do.

    Introduction: A. Today, we are stepping away from our sermon series on the Gospel of Mark in order to address the heartbreaking current events in the Middle East. B. I’m sure that all of us have been horrified by the recent outbreak of violence and military strikes taking place between Hamas and ...read more

    Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Aug 6, 2023
     | 2,677 views

    This sermon was inspired by a sermon starter in "52 New Testament Sermon Starters" by Spiros Zodhaites. There is power in telling Jesus about our needs and the needs of others no matter how insignificant we may think they are.

    TITLE: Tell Jesus Mark 1:29-39 (NIV) 29 And immediately He [or, they] left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. The Greek word translated as "immediately" is significant in the gospel of Mark. It is used 42 times in Mark's fast-paced ...read more
