    All Ye All Ye All Come Free

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Jun 14, 2013
     | 8,221 views

    There was a game that we use to play as kids, back in the time when kids actually went outside to play. The name of the game that we use to play was called Hide-N-Seek; some may remember it as touch the tree or kick the can.

    “All ye All Ye All Come Free” By Pastor M.L. Maughmer, Jr. Hebrews 10:19-25 “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And [having] ...read more

    Soul Winning Techniques of the Master, is a study of the Evangelism of Jesus; offering Christians guidance, hope, and enthusiasm for Evangelism and Missions, by looking at Jesus' example and saying, "I can do that too!"

    When Our Heart Walk After Our Eyes

    Contributed by James Dina on Jun 25, 2021
     | 3,979 views

    Watch your eyes and heart with great diligence. Guard your eyes lest they ensnare your heart. Look to your hearts, lest they be ensnared by your eyes. Where the eye is full of adultery, the heart is full of it too.

    WHEN OUR HEART WALK AFTER OUR EYES " If my step has turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot has cleaved to mine hands;" (JOB 31:7) Can the heart walk after the eyes? OR Can the eye misled the heart? That's the question that comes across your ...read more

    The Grace Of Overlooking An Insult

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 11, 2021
     | 2,399 views

    We look at the 5 reasons we should overlook insults: To aid the new nature, to seek Truth, because we consider its source, because we only seek God's approval, and to show our revilers God's grace.

    The Importance Of Faith Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,952 views

    Paul anticipates the Judaizers next objection since they were huge fans of the law of Moses. In general, they recognized the importance of the Abrahamic covenant, but they gave priority to the Mosaic covenant. This led them to emphasize law over faith.

    INTRO: We have seen the interrogation of faith and the illustration of faith and today we’ll see the importance of faith. Next week is the identity of faith. What Paul has been hammering home in Galatians is that we are saved by faith and not by works. This is the distinguishing hallmark of ...read more

    Offended By Grace Premium Sermon

    based on 3 ratings
     | 1,077 views

    This sermon explores Jesus' parable of the workers in the vineyard, highlighting the unexpected grace of the landowner and how such grace can either offend or inspire us.

    We’re going to let Jesus be our teacher today by listening to one of his parables about the kingdom of God. Your Bible may have a heading for Matthew 20:1-16 entitled, “The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard,” but I want to point out that this parable is less about the workers in the vineyard ...read more

    Emphasizes the importance of Christian community in encouraging love, good works, and mutual support as we journey together towards the Day of the Lord.

    Welcome, dear friends, to our shared sanctuary, a place where we gather as one family under the vast, loving umbrella of God's grace. We are here today, not by coincidence, but by divine appointment. I am reminded of the words of Germany Kent who once said, "Be nice to people... maybe it'll be ...read more

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 13, 2022
     | 1,505 views

    Shortcuts lead to short circuits in our spiritual lives. Today we will talk about repentance, confessing faith and persecution.

    SHORTCUT, SHORT CIRCUIT Text: John 10:1 -2 and Matthew 5:10-12 John 10:1 "Very truly, I tell you, anyone who does not enter the sheepfold by the gate but climbs in by another way is a thief and a bandit. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

    While God May Be Found (July 17, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Jul 15, 2022
     | 2,368 views

    Who would argue against the understanding that we live in a day when many take God for granted? One thing that eighth chapter of Amos makes clear is that moving away from God invites destruction. The opening image of ripe fruit cuts to the chase as a metaphor for God’s judgement.

    WHILE GOD MAY BE FOUND Texts: Isaiah 55:6, Amos 8:1- 2, 8:11- 12 Isaiah 55:6 Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Hime while He is near Amo 8:1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of ...read more

    Every nation has need of discipline. God will punish an evil nation for disobedience by unrighteous leadership. Look at the nation of Judah and God's punishment of them. Yet, God will protect and comfort the righteous in captivity.

    As Americans, we have not seen a complete overthrow of our nation’s leadership. We have witnessed many attempts to assassinate our presidents, with a few successes. Our form of government seems to be stable. The democracy in which we live has been built upon Godly principles and appears to be a ...read more

    Jesus Before Herod Series

    Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Mar 20, 2023
     | 2,197 views

    Herod is presented as a frivolous person, who desired to see some amusing tricks performed by one whom he probably regarded as some kind of magician. To such a person Jesus had nothing to say.

    LUKE 23: 6–12 JESUS BEFORE HEROD [JESUS’ LAST DAY SERIES] [Luke 9:7-9; 13:31; Acts 3:11-22] Pilate was astute enough to realize in some fashion that it was he who was on trial, not Jesus. In some way, Jesus is in control of His own trial and Pilate seems cognizant of that. But, in spite of ...read more
