    Sermon: The Danger Of Deception Series

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on May 4, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,517 views

    We live in an age where people want to appear one way but, they are just the opposite of their appearance. Hypocrisy pollutes worship. The most beautiful singing, the largest gift and the most radical praise can all be done with the wrong motive.

    Sermon: The Danger of Deception Scripture: Acts 5:1-11 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath ...read more

    There is only one way to the home everyone longs for, whether they know it or not

    I’m starting this sermon with a really old illustration because things have gotten so much worse that to introduce it with a contemporary example would take more than one sermon to adequately address it. So think yourself back a couple of decades, to 2002. That’s when football coach Ron Brown was ...read more

    Sorry/Not Sorry

     | 1,134 views

    Repentance is not a one-time one-action in the Bible but is a spiritual process that involves turning away from sin and turning or returning to God.

    SORRY/NOT SORRY ACTS 3:19-20 #repentance INTRODUCTION… Background of “Sorry not Sorry” The phrase “sorry/not sorry” is a sarcastic way of acknowledging that someone might not like whatever you are saying or doing … but you don’t really care. “Sorry not sorry” is a new take on a time-honored ...read more

    Taking Up Our Cross

     | 647 views

    The sixth church that Jesus addressed received no words of rebuke or chastisement. It was faithful to the Gospel, open to opportunities, and will be delivered from its enemies at the coming hour of trial upon the world. Take up your cross and do the same.

    Good morning, dear friends. It's a joy to welcome you to this moment of shared faith, a time of communion in the Word of God. We gather here, not merely as individuals, but as a community united by the love of Christ, a love that transcends our differences and binds us together as one family ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 98 views

    This sermon proclaims that God’s presence and Christ’s resurrection secure an unshakeable hope and inheritance, giving believers strength and assurance amid life’s uncertainties.

    Some weeks feel like you’re steering a paper boat across whitecaps. The winds of worry howl, and the waters of uncertainty slap the sides of your soul. A bill arrives. A diagnosis lingers. A relationship frays. And somewhere between the mailbox and midnight, the question rises: Is there anything ...read more

    based on 3 ratings
     | 114 views

    God’s grace alone saves us, transforms us, and empowers us to live out our purpose—not by our efforts, but as God’s gift.

    Friends, grace has a way of slipping into the room like morning light under the curtains—quiet, sure, and warm. It comes to tired souls and try-hard hearts, whispering what our to-do lists never can: you are loved, you are rescued, you are His. Some of us carry the ache of “Have I done enough?” ...read more

    God meets us in our weakness with compassion, removes our sins with mercy, and surrounds us with steadfast, everlasting love.

    Welcome, friend. Maybe you walked in today with a tired heart—a calendar full of commitments, a mind full of worries, and a soul that keeps replaying yesterday’s mistakes. Grace can feel like a foreign language when guilt is loud. Mercy can seem far away when shame sits close. But hear this: you ...read more

    Only The Lamb Is Worthy

    Contributed by Terry Hovey on Apr 29, 2025

     | 720 views

    A scroll sealed with seven seals is in the hand of the One on the throne, and no one is found worthy to open it or even look at it—until the Lion of the tribe of Judah appears. But when John looks, he sees not a lion but a Lamb that appears slain.

    Only the Lamb is Worthy Revelation 5:1-10 I think that as we begin looking at our text today in Revelation 5:1-10, it would help us to understand something of the background that led up to this point in John's vision. John's Revelation of Jesus Christ begins with a powerful vision of the ...read more
