    What Is It Going To Be - Abiding Or Blacksliding? 1 John 2 V 28-29 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 5, 2022
     | 1,814 views

    It’s sad Christians live deficient lives when God has supplied all that's needed. Some say they have no direction; don't feel like partaking of spiritual things; careless about their walk. The problem often is the neglect of Godly resources - the word of God, prayer, and fellowship.

    MESSAGE – WHAT IS IT GOING TO BE - ABIDING OR BLACKSLIDING? 1 John 2 v 28-29 1John 2 v 28 Now, little children, abide in Him so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming. 1John 2 v 29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that everyone ...read more

    To Do Or Not To Do The Dubious

    Ahhhh .... The "gray areas" of morality. So tempting. So easy to justify. Should we be going there? What do you think???

    To Do or Not To Do the Dubious Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Titus 3:3-5 “At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. “But when the ...read more

    Persevere Even If It Gets Hard

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Dec 8, 2020
     | 11,311 views

    Believers are encouraged to not lose heart and give up, even in the face of trials and difficulties. To continue in the faith we should continue doing good toward others, continue in prayer, and continue in the word.

    I take as our subject today, the call in Scripture to persevere—to steadfastly continue in the faith no matter what happens.. Some of you have walked with the Lord for many years. You have fought some battles. You have not done it perfectly, but you have continued to follow the Lord. You have ...read more

    The Risen Christ Is With You

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 13, 2026
    based on 2 ratings
     | 190 views

    In the midst of tears, fear, confusion and discouragement, the Risen Lord Jesus was right there beside his distraught disciples and followers to empower them and encourage them. No matter what we are going through let’s never forget our living Savior will never leave us nor forsake us.

    Today’s meditation is based on John 20:14-15, Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him ...read more

    What Is The Most Pervasive False Doctrine In The Body Of Christ Today?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Jan 27, 2024
     | 1,371 views

    It all comes back to the salvation security issue, how do I know if I'm secure in my salvation? What about sins I've committed after becoming a Christian? How does salvation security work after I receive Christ as savior?

    What is the most pervasive false doctrine in the body of Christ today? In particular, we're looking at Western evangelical Christianity, and in particular Christianity within the United States. So in Christianity, in the United States, we've seen two trends that have shaped the theological ...read more

    Sermon # 33 - God Is Sovereign Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 11, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 636 views

    The King of Nineveh humbled himself before God because he understood that God is sovereign. There are many others in the bible who recognized God’s sovereignty and submitted to His will. Only those who recognize and acknowledge God’s sovereignty can joyfully accept His dealings in their lives.

    We read in Jonah 3:9, “Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish.” (ESV) The one who said these words in the verse mentioned above, was the King of Nineveh, which makes it truly astounding. Let me give you a background which led to this response ...read more

    Can A Genuine Believer Lose Their Salvation?

    Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on May 27, 2023
     | 1,679 views

    This is the concept of remaining in faith. Abiding in Christ. We must hold fast to our faith, not drifting away, while also knowing that Christ holds us firm, and we do not need to fear the Father losing his hold on us. This sacred balance is a difficult one.

    Once an unbeliever has given their life to Christ, been regenerated by the Holy Spirit, reborn of Christ, and placed into the kingdom of God, can such a person fall away, and lose their salvation? This question is so incredibly important. It goes to the very core of the gospel: How does it ...read more

    Sermon # 41 - Forgotten Purpose Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jan 14, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 634 views

    Jonah did not perceive God’s heart and thereby failed to rejoice when God’s purposes were accomplished in Nineveh. We as a church must have our hearts beat as one with that of God’s and fulfill His purposes to reach the lost and bring them into God’s Kingdom.

    We read in Jonah 4:5, “Jonah went out east of the city and sat down. He made a shelter for himself and sat in its shade, waiting to see what would happen to Nineveh.” (GNB) In this series we are studying the life of Jonah and comparing it with the church of today, thereby trying to learn some ...read more

    An ascent out of the depths.

    WAITING IN HOPE. Psalm 130:1-8. This Psalm is a song of ascent: “Out of the depths” (Psalm 130:1).

    The story of Demas serves as a solemn warning about the dangers of worldliness. He had the privilege of working alongside Paul, yet he abandoned his calling because of his love for the world.
