    Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on May 9, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 577 views

    As we continue our journey into spiritual warfare, we turn our focus to what the Bible calls “the world”—not the physical earth, but the organized system under Satan.

    Sara is a person who worked downtown.

    “One out of Ten” “One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except ...read more

    Daring To Grow Series

    Contributed by Stephen Sheane on Jun 4, 2025
     | 453 views

    Spiritual growth is all about responding to God's great love. God invites, we enter. God invests, we engage. God intercedes, we endure.

    DARING TO GROW Back in 1855, Edward Kimball was an ordinary Christian who taught Sunday school in his church and made a living down at the shoe store. One day Edward determined that he was going to look for an opportunity to explain the gospel to a salesman named Dwight, who had just joined the ...read more

    7 The Inviting Overcomer Series

    Contributed by Kent Kessler on Jun 7, 2025
     | 378 views

    With these seven churches, Jesus has made it clear: Make NO mistake, JUDGMENT IS coming. But when you read through this Revelation from John and judgment is poured out, no one repents, no one turns back to God. And yet, God continues to reach out and invite all people, anyone, saying, “Come.”

    You have heard of BC, Before Christ days? This is back in BK - Before Kids days for the our family. My wife and I went on a vacation trip – a Carnival Cruise to Cozumel, via Key West. At the time we thought we’d be able to go about once every 5 years, but then more kids came along, and well, we ...read more

    Jesus didn’t come to take us from good to great, but to take us from depraved to saved, surrendered, and sent.

    Sending on Mission Isaiah 6:1-8 Rev. Brian Bill June 7-8, 2025 “This is holy ground because I’m looking at the Bride of Christ.

    Time To Engage: "Prioritize To Jesus"

    Contributed by Dennis Lee on Jan 12, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,226 views

    Making Jesus our priority means that we’re putting Him first on our list. If our priority is Jesus, where we prioritize our lives to Him, then everything else falls into place. And to make Jesus our priority, we need to look to Jesus’s life and see what He prioritized.

    The Spirit As Streams Of Living Water Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 27, 2025
     | 1,403 views

    Another amazing role of the Holy Spirit is to be a stream of living water that flows from within those who put their faith in Christ. We must be thirsty and drink before we will experience the refreshment.

    A. The story is told about a man who got himself lost in the desert and began to search for water to quench his thirst. 1. After countless hours searching, he came upon a well with a big opening at the top. a. He peered down into the well, but couldn't see a thing down there. b. He looked ...read more

    Sermon # 49 - Value What God Values Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Feb 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 498 views

    Jonah had more pity for the plant that gave him a little shade than for the people of Nineveh who had repented and thereby were saved from God’s wrath and judgement. May we learn to value people over things and traditions and love them like Jesus did.

    We read in Jonah 4:10, “The LORD said to him, "This plant grew up in one night and disappeared the next; you didn't do anything for it and you didn't make it grow—yet you feel sorry for it!” (GNB) Jonah sat outside the city of Nineveh and eagerly watched to see what would become of ...read more

    Who Is Jesus To You? Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Feb 24, 2025
     | 822 views

    We all face judgments from other people. Jesus faced that too. As He began his earthly ministry, Jesus experienced two completely different responses from two different towns. How will you respond?

    People make judgments about us all of the time. It’s not so much that they are judgmental, but that they get to meet us or get to know us based on certain associations. I know, by virtue of the fact that I’m a pastor, when I introduce myself to people, they make an immediate judgment. If they ...read more

    Faith Changes How We React To Our World Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Apr 25, 2025
     | 724 views

    Faith that sits still is not the faith Christ calls us. Transformative faith changes how we react to the world around us. True faith wakes us up, renews our minds, and shines as a light for others to see Christ in us.

    Only The Lamb Is Worthy

    A scroll sealed with seven seals is in the hand of the One on the throne, and no one is found worthy to open it or even look at it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears. But when John looks, he sees not a lion but a Lamb that appears slain.

    Only the Lamb is Worthy Revelation 5:1-10 I think that as we begin looking at our text today in Revelation 5:1-10, it would help us to understand something of the background that led up to this point in John's vision. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ begins with a powerful vision of the ...read more

    There are so many who are gripped with all sorts of fears, and only the Lord Jesus can help us overcome these fears. Anyone who puts their faith in Jesus will conquer every fear and live a victorious life.

    We read in Luke 21:26, “men fainting at heart from fear, and expectation of the things coming on the world, for the powers of the heavens shall be shaken.” (YLT) The disciples of Jesus enquired of Him as to what would be the signs that the end of days was close at hand.

    The Price Is Right

    If Jesus enters your heart this Sabbath morning because you have left the door even slightly ajar, please, please do not chase Him out when you leave church. Take Him home with you. Don’t force Christ to find other quarters because you refuse to pay the mere pittance He asks of you.

    THE PRICE IS RIGHT JAMES 1:19-27 #thepriceisright INTRODUCTION I should tell you that up front, the sermon that I will share with you this morning is NOT a sermon that I have written.
