    What Does Holy Mean? Series

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Apr 13, 2021
     | 3,579 views

    There are several words in our “Holy vocabulary” that even Christians don’t fully understand. Taking a closer look at some of these Holy words to make sure that we fully understand them before we use them.

    As I was praying over what direction God would have me to go, God brought my attention to the fact that, as Christians, we have a unique vocabulary. We tend to use words that a non-Christian might not understand. So, when trying to witness to someone, we should be careful to use words they can ...read more

    Living Out Our Calling Series

     | 14,282 views

    The Lord through Paul calls us to get along, even when it's hard. He says to be humble, gentle, patient, and forbearing with our fellow believers. And through our efforts to do so, God will be glorified in the world. We pursue unity because God is one.

    Living Out Our Calling Ephesians 4:1-6 Some people are really hard to get along with. (Can I get an amen?) I remember several times in our past Becky and I have had the thought, “Why does it seem that most of the time, when we have relational conflict, it’s with Christians!?! With fellow brothers ...read more

    Dogs and hogs. Is Jesus showing some signs of ADHD? A difficult passage like this needs the context to help us understand it.

    Our passage today is a tough one. Probably one of the toughest ones in the Sermon.

    “Courageous Under Fire”? Is when you face the unknowns (and sometimes the known) and have no clue as to how the outcome will be. Yet, because of one’s trust and faith in God, the individual steps out in faith and pursue his/her god-given assignment.

    I was having difficulty with this topic because of recent setbacks in my life. However, I’ve come to the conclusion that setbacks are God’s opportunity for setups! Amen! Circumstances do not stop what God has for His children: that’s you and me. This morning, I want to speak on ...read more

    Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

    When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more
