The Rescue: Alive By Grace Series

Contributed by Paul Dayao on Oct 12, 2025

This sermon explains that because of His great mercy and love, God rescued us from spiritual death by uniting us with Christ in His resurrection and enthronement, saving us by grace through faith alone, in order to make us His masterpiece, created for good works.

The Criteria For An Apostolic Replacement Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Feb 24, 2017

Matthias was evidently a good man. He met the requirements of an apostle, which meant he must have been with the Lord from His baptism by John until His ascension; and, more importantly, he must have been a witness of the resurrection,as the others were.

I Am The Vine, You Are The Branches Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Sep 5, 2021

When we are joined to Christ the true vine, we are powerfully connected to his Spirit and his vitality. By faith, we can share in Jesus’s righteous life and his atoning death. It is through his death and resurrection that the branches begin to flourish and bear much fruit.

When we take the time to look at trees, we get a beautiful reminder of how they sustain the life of their branches and leaves. Some of these trees are also able to produce a harvest of fruit that we can enjoy. Scripture talks about this too, the importance of the link from a leaf or branch to the ...read more

Funeral For "a Character"

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 26, 2019

Charlie was an Army man who gave his life to Christ. He was also "a Character" - a little eccentric, and offbeat. Find out why he made it to heaven.

One of my favorite books in the Bible is Ephesians. Paul wrote it as a letter to the church at Ephesus and the first chapter focused on how important that group of Christians was to God. But then, when you get to what we call Chapter 2, Paul gives them a reality check. (God tells us that once) ...read more

A Living Sacrifice

Contributed by Sam Mccormick on Sep 22, 2017

Sacrificing to God has always been part of the man-God relationship. Abel and Cain made sacrifices. Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son. The Levitical system of sacrifices lay at the center of Jewish life. Today God calls for living, not dead sacrifice.
