    What Can I Say?

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 15, 2019
     | 6,247 views

    This is a farewell sermon I preached at two of the churches I've been serving as I move on to my next appointment.

    Ah … famous last words. Here’s a few I thought you might enjoy or find interesting: When convicted murderer James W. Rodgers was put in front of a firing squad in Utah, he was asked if he had any last requests. “Yeah,” he said, “bring me a bullet-proof vest.” Drummer Buddy Rich died after ...read more

    All of us will go through the pit at some point. All of us will at some point go through hard times. We will go through the valley. But for every pit, for every valley, there IS a way out that leads to the very promise of God!

    Here are things to remember when you get in the pit. First, intolerance of your condition creates your future. Say that with me. Intolerance of your condition creates your future. The problem is some start looking for ways to get accustomed to the pit. You read books on how to adjust to darkness. ...read more

    The Call Of Jesus Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Jun 16, 2025
     | 486 views

    While Jesus announces for the first time to his disciples his call to the cross, He calls us to confess who he is and calls us to live a crucified life.

    I would guess that we are probably similar in that we get so many unwanted calls each day. Somehow, I’ve been getting calls for some group who says they can get me on Social Security Disability. Other times I’ve been on the list for VA loans - except I’m not a veteran. I’ve received calls for ...read more

    God’s resurrection power and Christ’s reign are for us now, assuring us of hope, worth, and strength as His beloved church in every circumstance.

    “‘The best of all is, God is with us.’” — John Wesley Friends, welcome. If you arrived today with a weary heart, a worried mind, or a wandering list of what-ifs, you’re in good company. The church in Ephesus knew the press of pressures and the pull of distractions. And yet, through Paul’s pen, the ...read more

    The Christian Sources For Encouragement

    The teaching method of education has changed drastically in America, and I am glad it has.

    For example, it use to be for us to make a good grade on our report card we had to have a good memory. For example, in homiletics in college we were assigned to take a test on: • Memorize 10 of these • Memorize 13 of these • Memorize 25 of these And if you had a good memory you made “A” in ...read more

    When we think we are independant we actually only change what we are dependant on.

    Americans love to celebrate Independence Day. The supermarkets stock up with extra ribs, hamburger and hotdogs along with anything else the goes with grilling out. It seems like the 4th is a big deal to more people than other holidays. As Americans we tend to flaunt our freedom before the ...read more

    Message for the first Sunday of the New Year. Can we live like we want then make it all up to god on Sunday? Will God accept our worship if our lives are full of sin?

    In this, the first Sunday of the new year, this message is about putting first things first. Too often we get wrapped up in non-essentials and we put the cart before the house, we major on the minors, rather than major on the majors.
