What Is The Source Of Temptation?

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023

The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

Designed For Life

Contributed by Brian Williams on Jul 29, 2023

When we better understand who God is, how and why the universe was designed, then we will better understand ourselves, where we came from, our destination, and how and why we were designed.

Today we are continuing in our apologetics series on: “What do you believe?” We have been looking at the world and universe from a logical or philosophical perspective and about the evidence for the existence of a Creator God. We will be looking at two passages of Scriptures. One in Isaiah and the ...read more

My Greatest Need

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Mar 22, 2023

The question is: How has Jesus restored your life? Just as Jesus brought physical healing to the man by the sheep gate through the power of His words, He has brought you spiritual healing through His death, burial, and resurrection.

Last week we started talking about what Jesus has done for us as we approach the Easter season. We looked at the long list of things that Jesus has done for us but finally decided that the greatest thing that Jesus did for us was to provide Himself. Today I want to look briefly at how Jesus ...read more

Understanding Servant Leadership

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

Some people have never heard of servant leadership. This message discusses the wrong attitude for leadership. It then looks at three points defining servant leadership, and it concludes with the six primary characteristics.

Dwight L. Moody once said, “The measure of a man is not how many servants he has, but how many men he serves.”(1) This evening’s message will discuss something called servant leadership; and servant leadership is when a leader humbles him or herself to the level as those who are served. Walter C. ...read more

Since we all have Adam as our father and Eve, the mother of all the living, as our mother, we are FAMILY!... with the same parents and that makes us family.

Now that was perhaps the most unusual sermon opening you have seen. Thank you for putting up with my poor imitation of Mr. Rogers Neighborhood opening. So, why did I do it?

Foundations For Freedom Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 6, 2021

When we see the Ten Commandments from the true Biblical perspective, we see them as gifts of grace. They came from God who first delivered Israel, and then gave the law to preserve that liberty He gave them. The origin of the law is God's love.

The Making Of A Deacon Part 2 Series

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Aug 12, 2019

When looking at the qualifications for a deacon we see that these are things that all Christians should aspire to.

For far too many churches, the deacons appear to be group that runs and directs the activities of a church, whereas last week we discussed how deacons were set up to be the servants of the church. In fact that is what the title of deacon means, a servant, not a ruler, taskmaster, or overseer. The ...read more

Sermon # 12 - What Is Our Identity? Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 26, 2024

When Jonah revealed his true identity, the other seafarers must have been astounded. We as a church are called to let the world know that the God we believe and worship is the true and living God, creator of heaven and earth and let’s not miss the opportunity to do so.

We read in Jonah 1:8, Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is happening to us. Tell us, what have you done? What is your job? Where do you come from? What is your country? Who are your people?" (ERV) The word of God came to Jonah to go to Nineveh, but ...read more

David The King Series

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 19, 2024

We look at David as king. We see that the foundational qualities he needed were justice and righteousness - and he showed them. And we see in David as king a foreshadowing of what Jesus will be like when he fully takes up his rule.

INTRODUCTION We’re in a series titled ‘Learning from David.’ Today’s talk is on David the king. I think today’s talk is the most important talk in this series. That might seem surprising to you. We’ve had ‘David: man of prayer.’ We all hopefully pray. We can relate to that. We’ve had David ...read more

Third Rail Of Politics Series

Let's talk about politics. There are three reasons most pastors and churches don't talk about politics - Money, Job Security, Community influence.

There are several iconic contemporary proverbs that swirl around us. One of the most familiar may be, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex at the dinner table” or slightly modified for pastors, “don't talk about religion, politics or sex on Sunday morning if you want to keep your ...read more
