     | 25,580 views

    We all struggle with worry. It seems than any humanly devised plan only seems to cause us more worry. Jesus had some things to say about this subject. Let’s talk about what He said.

    Series: There’s an App for That “Worry” Matthew 6:25-34 Open A man went to see a psychologist because he was anxious and stressed out all of the time. At the end of their first session, the psychologist gave the man some instructions for the time leading up to the next ...read more

    How often are you tempted to think you’re more important than you really are? We like to be the center of attention. We like to promote ourselves. We like to receive praise from other people. We like the applause of others. It causes us to be more concerned about self than God and others.

    Series: There’s an App for That “Pride” Matthew 6:1-4 Open We’re in this series called There’s an App for That. “App” is short for application. It’s a downloadable program for your smartphone or tablet that aids you in some area of your ...read more

    Joy To The World

    Contributed by Marc Phillips on Dec 18, 2015
     | 6,202 views

    We should carry our Joy in everything we do. Our joy is a gift of the Holy Spirit and when we are less than joyful we are squashing that spirit. Joy to the World is not just for Christmas, but for all year long!

    Scripture is shared from the NASB... We just sang Joy to the World as a praise song, and I think we did a pretty good job of it. I’d like to try this exercise together if you would indulge me for a moment. Let’s sing that first verse again, only let’s do it with a scowl or a ...read more

    This message looks at how various folks in the Christmas Story responded to what was happening.

    Last week we celebrated Christmas with our children’s presentation, which I’m sure Marilyn and her crew would testify is kind of like herding cats. And that was part of the process that led Charlie Brown to ask in frustration, “Isn’t there anyone who knows what Christmas is ...read more

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Jan 31, 2016
     | 6,306 views

    This sermon looks at the question: How can a loving God send people to hell?

    Long before I knew about God’s grace I knew about Gods’ wrath. Long before I had encountered a loving God I knew about the fires of hell. Some of those images came from culture and some came from art. All in all I think I prefer Larson to Michelangelo, but I’m that kind of ...read more

    Christian Atheist: Money Series

    Contributed by Troy Borst on Mar 10, 2015
     | 5,112 views

    Do we really trust in God? Do we really trust in our money? Do we say we believe in God and yet live as though He doesn’t exist? Do we say we trust in God and in His security and yet live as though we trust only in money?

    This sermon is based off of a few ideas in Craig Groeschel’s book “The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living as if He Doesn’t Exist.” Zondervan, 2010. ISBN: 9780310332220 CHRISTIAN ATHEIST: MONEY 1 Timothy 6:6-10, 17-19 INTRODUCTION… “In God We ...read more

    Love One Another

    Contributed by David Hersey on Mar 27, 2015

    The love we have and show for one another is how we show the world that we are the disciples of Christ. This lesson is going to focus primarily on how we are to demonstrate our love for one another.

And of the "one another" phrases which do not fall into that category, many of those fall into the "How ...read more
