Jesus Reaching Out To All Series

Contributed by David Hodgin on Nov 11, 2007

During Jesus discourse with the "Woman at the Well" He revealed six points of His divinity and seven life changing behaviors for the Christian.

John Chapter 4 is our passage for today, it begins with the account of “the woman at the well”. This is a powerful message showing Christ willingness to reach across the boundaries of prejudice in order to provide salvation to all people.

No Spiritual Elite Series

Contributed by Timothy Darling on Jul 16, 2007

There is a sad tendency on the part of all churches. That some people become regarded as a spiritual elite. That they, in some way, have more of an expectation to be heard by God and to have a say in the church’s operation than everyone else. This is a mi

Righteous Opposition

Contributed by Allan Quak on Dec 30, 2005

The doctrine of justification is such an important doctrine that a breech of it by Peter caused him to be rebuked by Paul. If the apostles can get it wrong so can we, therefore we need to understand what is at stake.

Blessed Ignorance, Jesus Is Mine Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 9, 2003

We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Apr 10, 2008

Part 7. We must be willing to make major adjustments in our life to follow God, obeying him 100% if we want to be faithful and experience God.

We have been in a series titled “Knowing and Experiencing God” because, truth be told, many times in our Christian life we are just going through the motions. Perhaps we go to church on Sunday, maybe we do our daily devotions (reading the Bible & praying), generally we try to be a good person, do ...read more

Jesus Heals

Contributed by Chris Blackshaw on Jul 2, 2012

We consider how Jesus healed in biblical times and the many different ways that he heals us today.

Throughout the gospels we read of the many events that were both inspiring and life changing, for people who were healed, for those who looked on and even for those who heard about what ...read more

One For All Series

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 8, 2011

The only walls appropriate for the household of God are load-bearing walls, to strengthen us for the work of the church.

Almost everywhere I looked while preparing this sermon I found a reference to Robert Frost’s wonderful poem, “Mending Wall.” He begins it with the famous line, “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall.” The poem then goes on to tell of two neighbors who meet at the wall between their two ...read more

The Truth Exposed Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jun 9, 2021

The enemy brings much opposition and false accusation against believers. While he has power, he is no match for the sovereign Lord. As we stand for truth, we rest knowing truth will always prevail.

The Truth Exposed Esther 7: 1-10 Take a moment to consider the many ups and downs the Jews have experienced at this point. All who are in Persia were either removed from their homeland by force, or born into captivity in a foreign land. One of their own had been crowned queen of the kingdom, but ...read more

Teaching Can Be Dangerous Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

The New Testament takes teaching so seriously that it demands only the most qualified be allowed to do it. The modern church takes teaching so lightly that it will allow anybody who is willing to do it.

Roger Williams was the founder of the First Baptist Church in America in 1639. He was considered a trouble maker and a nuisance by most church leaders, and they wanted to get rid of him.

Pride And Promiscuity

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Jun 12, 2016

Jesus contrasts a prideful Pharisee and a formerly promiscuous sinner desperate for grace. One is changed forever and one is unchanged. The difference: pride vs. humility. We all are in need of a Savior. Sadly, some don't realize it until it is too late.

Luke 7:36-50 Pride and Promiscuity The sermon title for today’s story is in honor of my wife, who first introduced me to Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice,” a classic tale of two strong-willed and misunderstood personalities coming together in romantic love. But ...read more
