Partnering On The Journey

Contributed by Chris Surber on Apr 14, 2007

The earlier followers of Jesus were known simply as “followers of The Way.” The way of Jesus is a way of peace, a way of mercy, and a way of grace. Christianity is more than simply an ethic or a philosophy. The early disciples lived together and broke

Contributed by Doug Henry on Dec 30, 2006

A look at the components that go along with making a proper sacrifice.

Resolutions and Sacrifice Genesis 22:1-19 It was once said that if Christmas and Thanksgiving are the holidays of excess, then New Year’s Day must be the holiday of regret.

Jesus Uncut

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2021

A preacher is very much like a traffic engineer. And the preachers of Jesus’ day were routing the traffic right off a washed-out bridge with no warning. For real love always stands against deception.

While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of ...read more

Nothing Of Significance

Contributed by Bradley Boydston on Dec 23, 2002

Christmas Eve parable -- kind of silly and serious at the same time -- poking a little fun at my own Scandinavian heritage. From the beginning the trained observers have failed to recognize the significance of the Nativity.

The Middle East is a troubled place. And, really, this is nothing new. The land that we call Israel or Palestine has been characterized by instability for as long as we can remember. The players change but the game is the same. It’s all very complicated -- hinging on geographical and political ...read more

The Worst Thing That Can Happen To You!

Sermon On Bitterness

Contributed by William Meakin on Sep 7, 2022

Bitterness is defined as anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly.

Jagadish “Jaggi” Vasudev, better known by the honorific title “Sadhguru,” an Indian yoga guru and proponent of spirituality once remarked: “To forgive does not mean to forget. To forgive means not to carry any bitterness in you, because that destroys your life.” Ephesians 4:31-32 reminds us: “Let ...read more

Lies We Believe About God Series

Contributed by Robert Higgins on Apr 17, 2008

Karl Barth said that there are two ways to attain knowledge of God. One is to begin with ourselves but that is flawed because we are flawed. The only place to begin is with God.

He asked him what he was drawing and the boy said, “I’m drawing a picture of God.” Art replied, “you can’t do that because no one knows what he looks like.” To which the boy answered, “They will ...read more

Let The Journey Begin Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on May 19, 2022

Our journey towards a deeper and closer relationship with God is not something that just happens. We don’t just passively float through life and hope that we end up somewhere wonderful or nice. We have to be intentional and we have to be engaged in the process.

Extreme Measures

Contributed by John Beehler on Feb 5, 2003

God took extreme measures to provide a healing for us. Shouldn’t we do the same for others?
