Are You Confident To Serve?

Contributed by Laura Martin on Jul 7, 2020

Luke 5:1-11 and Isaiah 6:1-8. What is the starting point for Christian service?

Today’s gospel reading is probably very familiar to you. If you attended Sunday school as a child, it is a Bible story that is popular to tell children. But familiarity can create blindness. In our familiarity with something, we can fail to see what is there. I enjoyed studying to prepare this ...read more

Chapter 45 Tower Of Shechem Burned Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 18, 2021

The tower of Shechem is where the elite of Shechem lived. It was part of the Temple of Baal-berith, and though we don’t know its location relative to the city, we do know that it served as the fortress to which the leaders of Shechem fled from the onslaught of Abimelech.

Chapter 45 Tower of Shechem Burned [Judges 9.46-9.49] Scripture: Judges 9:46-49 (KJV) 46 And when all the men of the tower of Shechem heard that, they entered into an hold of the house of the god Berith. 47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the men of the tower of Shechem were gathered ...read more

The Good News Of The Gospel-Pt.2-"saved By What?"

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Feb 16, 2021

Today, I want to explore the salvation that is ours by answering the question, “Saved by what?” As we consider the work of Christ, we need to consider not only His death but also His life. Both are needed for our redemption.

Last week’s sermon, Pt.1, “Saved from what?” was hard to listen to. It was a 100% true, but it was a difficult topic to explore. There is nothing easy or attractive about hell and the doctrine of conscious, eternal punishment. But hopefully, the desperateness of the situation, the hopelessness and ...read more

When Will Jesus Return Again? Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Jesus’ Second Coming is rich news to those who are hurting. All the pain and suffering of our lives will not last forever. As one pastor recently said, “The promise of the second coming shows us the ‘good ole days are always ahead of us.”

Several weeks ago, I asked for your help in your choice of today’s sermon. Your top choice was “When Will Jesus Return to Earth?” But a little analysis of the results led us to understand that it was really only this early service that asked for this topic. So … in the next couple of services, the ...read more

You Shall Not Commit Adultery Series

Adultery is a more heinous sin because adultery betrays the emotional-psychological intimacy that especially connects a husband and wife.

Happy Father’s Day. We continue to work our way through the Ten Words, or the Ten Commandments. These Ten Commands came from God’s lips and God’s fingers (Exodus 31:18).

Teaching Obedience To The Next Generation

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021

Saul hides behind his religion. Mafia hitmen rationalize, “Yes, I kill people but I’m really good to my mother.” We are incredibly good at self-deception. People hide behind their religion to evade obedience

Today, I want to speak to parents and grandparents on raising children who have a stalwart character all their lives. Let’s look at one of the most interesting kings of ancient Israel, King Saul. Today’s Scripture The word of the Lord came to Samuel: 11 “I regret that I have made Saul king, for ...read more

Philip & The Ethiopian Eunuch

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 22, 2021

God works strategically so that all races are included. God is working to populate heaven with all kinds of color. The Holy Spirit wants us to move past the barrier of the races.

We love to tell the “before and after” stories. Weight loss - I lost 100 pounds! Before and after for dental cosmetics commercials. Rogaine – I have hair! Or look at this one: meet my wife’s first husband (show picture of younger me) -:). Acts loves to tell “before and after” stories as well. Only ...read more

Good News In An Unexpected Place Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jul 17, 2021

In this message, we will see how the birth announcement of the King of Kings wasn’t delivered to the rich or royal, but it was instead delivered in the least expected place. It was delivered to some lowly shepherds.

When people send out baby shower invitations, they primarily mail them to family and friends. I once saw a really funny movie, a comedy, where a couple sent out fake shower announcements when they weren’t really going to have a baby. They were in debt and needed some money to pay off their bills, ...read more

Heaven Can Be Harmful To Your Health Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 30, 2021

Heaven can be harmful to your health. Any blessing of God can bring with it some handicap or problem because human nature has a tendency to pride that is so strong that if the blessings of life are not balanced off with some kind of burden they can actually lead to evil rather than to good.

For 40 years Rev. William Tennent served as pastor of the historic Presbyterian Church at Freehold, New Jersey. As a young man this pastor experienced a remarkable trance. He was in bad health, and one day while talking with his brother he fainted away and appeared to have died. The doctor ...read more
