    Breaking The Silence (Advent 2 2023)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Dec 8, 2023
     | 1,607 views

    All four of the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John speak of the ministry of the John the Baptizer who is the messenger who prepares the way for Jesus. A second reason that John’s arrival is such a big deal is because there had not been any prophets for 400 years.

    BREAKING THE SILENCE Text: Mark 1:1 - 8 Mark 1:1-11 The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. (2) As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way; (3) the voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ...read more

    On Leaving A Legacy Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 7, 2023
     | 2,554 views

    The end of Joseph's life provides an opportunity to think about the legacy he left . . . and the legacy we will leave.

    - Exodus 1:8 is a pretty famous verse. For good reason too, it provides a nice summary of our situation as we move into the story of Exodus and the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt: a. Israel is in Egypt. b. They are there because of Joseph. c. When Israel got there, they were highly ...read more

    Challenged With The Truth Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 8, 2026
     | 184 views

    Paul was well aware of the presence of false teachers among them and the real dangers their teaching posed to the churches and those within their communities. This wasn’t an issue that Paul could ignore – the souls of people within Galatia hung in the balance.

    Challenged with the Truth Galatians 1:6-12 I think you will agree that Paul offered a very encouraging and gracious greeting to the Galatians. However, having greeted them, he got right to the point regarding his concern for them. Paul was well aware of the presence of false teachers among them ...read more

    As we see the calling of the first disciples, we are sensing that He is calling us into his mission to save the world.  Do we hear the call? Are we willing to take first steps to following the Master? Are we continuing in the mission?

    Hear The Call of Jesus   Luke 5:1-11 Introduction The public ministry of Jesus is not a solo mission. He needed and called disciples, some of which became Apostles, and they carried on the work that he founded and empowered. Even today disciples of Jesus are carrying the banner of ...read more
