Faithfulness And Goodness: Overcoming Hypocrisy Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Feb 22, 2023

Kamran was a violent man who sold drugs & weapons in Iran. A friend gave him a New Testament, & for 5 consecutive days, Kamran devoured it. He soon gave his life to Christ. Where Kamran used to sell drugs and weapons, a church now met in his home.

It seems as if corruption and scandal is everywhere these days. Goodness and faithfulness are rare commodities in our day. If goodness and faithfulness were sold on the mercantile exchange in Chicago, their very rarity would cause their prices to soar to unprecedented heights. Scandals are ...read more

Time Spent In God's Word

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 7, 2024

I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. These numbers show a troubling imbalance in our lack of time spent in the Scripture and its damaging effect on our spiritual vitality.

If we took a poll here in our church, I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 messages a day. You are probably thinking, "No way do I receive that many messages." But ...read more

Introduction to Psalms and a choice with two paths in life

The Two Paths Psalm 1 Good morning. Most of us here this morning, have heard of the metaphor, a "Fork in the road". Of course, while driving there are actual forks in the road, where one road splits into two. The metaphor of a "Fork in the road" can refer to a time when someone ...read more

How Can I Live A Happy Life?

Contributed by David Cook on Aug 3, 2022

Real happiness in life comes from anchoring our lives in God's Word.

If you were to ask your family or friends this question, "What is the one thing you want most in this life?" What do you think their answer would be? What is the first answer that pops into your mind? I bet many people would answer that question like this, "I just want to be ...read more

Psalm 1 - Like A Tree Planted Series

Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Aug 11, 2022

This is the opening sermon in the series and explores Psalm 1 and the implications for Christians today.

We are beginning a new series called Sermon in the Psalms. What is nice about the Psalms is they lend themselves very well to what is called topical preaching. We can focus on specific topics and each sermon pretty much stands alone. That is one of the reasons for studying the book of Psalms. ...read more

The Beginning Of Wisdom Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Oct 2, 2022

This is the opening sermon for a series based on The Book of Proverbs. I thought it would be a good idea to start a series based on the preeminent book of wisdom literature by discussing and defining what the book means by "wisdom" starting with the first chapter of The Book of Proverbs.

[Hold up Bible.] I love this book. You’ve heard me refer to it as “The Owner’s Manual.” It contains stories, history, poetry, adventure, drama. It contains hymns. It contains theology, philosophy, and it contains wisdom. Every book in the Bible is there for a reason. Believe it or not, not ...read more

Psalm 1 – This Way And That Way – Which Way Are You On? Part 1 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 5, 2022

Psalm 1 is a most delightful Psalm absolutely full of teaching and instruction. We take apart this Psalm to see what God would say to us about The Two Ways, and what our lives must do, and be. This is PART 1.

PSALM 1 – THIS WAY AND THAT WAY – WHICH WAY ARE YOU ON? PART 1 PSALM 1 – THE TWO WAYS This glorious psalm sets the division for all the psalms that follow.

Psalm 1 – This Way And That Way – Which Way Are You On? Part 2 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 5, 2022

Part 2 continues the examination of Psalm 1, the Psalm of The Two Ways. One is either in Christ or not in Christ; in the camp of the saved, or the camp of the unsaved; living with a glorious hope, or living with a fearful expectation. We draw out lessons from this Psalm.

The Politics Of Jesus

Contributed by Tj Long Jr on Oct 30, 2023

Christians think they align with Jesus' views. Some are surprised, others offended. Jesus’ campaign sounds like a liberal utopia because we’re not ready to let go of hate, we’re not ready to trust in God and not in the law. We have to transcend hate and show the mercy we’ve been shown by God.

There are only two shows that I’ve ever watched the entire series. One of which I still own on DVD and have watched the entire series 3 times. If there was any show that I’d love to see still running today it would be this one. I’d love to see how it would interpret and respond to the issues of our ...read more

The Barren Fig Tree: Personal, National, And Universal Applications Of Fruit Bearing Series

Contributed by Justin Steckbauer on Oct 10, 2022

A fig tree produces fruit, it produces figs, a wonderful fruit common in Israel in the middle east.

Black And White Morality--Absolutely!

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 12, 2025

Jeremiah knew what God wanted for them, but they continually rebelled.

Sixth Sunday in Course 2025 It’s likely that if you were educated, as I was, mostly in the 1960s or later, you might have bristled a bit at today’s Scripture passages. They have moral language that is very much black-and-white. If you trust in God and follow His way, you’ll bear much fruit; if you ...read more

Sermon - God’s Instructions For Purposeful Living

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 11, 2025

Some people live on purpose and some just respond to what the world delivers. A “life of purpose” is not something you do or something you have automatically, it is choices that each of us make. Living a life of purpose guides all our choices and shapes the direction of our life.
