Sermons on Proverbs 1:1-19:

Be In The Know (Part One)

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 28, 2019

2 Peter 1:3 says that God's power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him. Knowledge is key. Even though knowing is not enough, we must also be doers, we can't minimize the importance of knowing the Lord and his ways.

BE IN THE KNOW Last week, in my sermon on having a fresh restart, I talked about being refreshed. I went to 2nd Pet. 1:3-13 and we did some audience participation and highlighted all the refreshing things in that passage. Peter said God's power has given us everything we need for life and ...read more

Mom Strong

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 14, 2018

Actress Ally Walker said, "Being a mom is the hardest job I've ever had; but it's the most rewarding job I've ever had." I'm sure most moms share this sentiment. Moms are tough. Army slogan, "Army Strong". There's Army Strong and then there's Mom Strong.

Old Dogs And New Tricks Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 2, 2021

Shallowness always leads to folly, but depth, when it is directed by wisdom, will lead to a life pleasing to God and appealing to man. Very seldom is a truly wise man proud. He is humbled because he knows so well how little he really knows.
