    The Journey From Life To Death (Part 1)

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Mar 21, 2023
     | 1,644 views

    What if we woke up every day realizing the only reason we are alive today, the only reason we have eternal life, hope, peace is because Jesus loved us enough to lay down His life for us so that we could live.

    This Lenten season we are talking about Jesus' journey from death to life. After Jesus’ time with the disciples in the upper room, He prayed His High Priestly prayer and as Rob spoke about last Sunday. Jesus was praying for unity, indwelling of the Spirit, joy, glory, giving and salvation for ...read more

    Acts 2:42-47 gives us the characteristics of a Spirit-filled church.

    Introduction We live in deeply troubling times. We have two major wars—in Ukraine and Israel—going on at present that are significant for our country in different ways.

    Building On The Rock Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 18, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,897 views

    Those who heed the message of a false prophet are unwise, building their hope on an unstable foundation. Jesus discusses "doing" vs. "doing his will," as many who proclaim to do works in His name will wind up in hell.

    Our message today picks up where we left off, where Jesus warned us about false prophets who are ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing (cf. Matthew 7:15-20). When I preached from that passage, I began with the fairy tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” and the wolf as our opening illustration. This ...read more

     | 1,996 views

    Acts 1:6-8 shows us that the mission that Jesus gave his apostles began with his commissioning of them.

    Introduction Luke wrote two books. The first book is called The Gospel According to Luke. His second book is usually called The Acts of the Apostles. The two books together are part one and part two of the same story of Jesus. Luke said in Acts 1:1, “In the first book, O Theophilus, I have dealt ...read more

    For The Sake Of The Call

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 23, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,195 views

    Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. So, when Jesus extends a call, what does it look like? What does it entail? What might He ask us to do? Or, what might we have to let go of in order to serve Him?

    I have entitled our message this morning, “For the Sake of the Call,” and we are going to look at how Jesus called a bunch of smelly fishermen to share in His ministry. Allow me to get started with a joke: “Why did Jesus call so many fishermen to become apostles? He was always looking for a ‘net ...read more

     | 2,906 views

    A donkey in the hands of the Lord, is superior to a donkey of a man. Balaam was the real donkey. If it was not for an obedient donkey, Balaam would have died as a disobedient donkey, and the obedient donkey would have lived. Jude continues the message on false teachers

     | 271 views

    When in Jesus' ministry of healing and teaching, he addresses the reality of the suffering that we experience and solves the root problem of our suffering - sin.

    It’s not uncommon for people to ask the question, “why do bad things happen to good people?” Or to state it another way, “if God is good, why do bad things happen?” It can sometimes feel like the worst things in life happen to some of the best people. At times it can feel like God is out to get ...read more

    No matter how weary or uncertain we feel at year’s end, Christ’s presence and strength sustain us and give hope for every day ahead.

    Some of us count the days on the calendar with a sigh. Others count with a smile. Many of us do both. The year has been a quilt of bright patches and frayed threads—birthdays and funerals, milestones and setbacks, answered prayers and unanswered questions. The days have left their marks.
