    What was the first church devoted to and are we devoted to those things?

    Okay, I have a question for you. If you are driving through town and you see a store or some kind of business that has one of those giant inflatable gorillas on top, are you more or less inclined to stop into that business?

    Can you picture Jesus as He travels to the Mount of Olives passing through the vineyard to pray after his final supper with his disciples. Notice how He uses this opportunity to teach his disciples spiritual truths and benefits available when they submit their lives to Him.

    Under The Sun Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 1, 2022

    The focus of this sermon is to introduce the series on the book of Ecclesiastes and the idea that life lived in the hear and now (i.e., under the sun) cannot compare to a life lived under the Son (Jesus Christ)

    Good morning. It is great to be back in the ‘burgh rain and all. For some of you who don’t know, I was away for a few weeks for a sabbatical. It was a study time, and I was able to feel somewhat productive. I also had a time of rest. The better news is Debbie and I got to see our lovely ...read more

    "overcoming Adversity"

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Jul 5, 2022
     | 9,399 views

    Everyone deals with adversities! Everyone face obstacles in life. Winners and losers are separated by how they choose to respond with the adversities of life. Winners in the Christian race learn how to overcome their adversities by taking full responsibility of their opportunities.

    Subject: "Overcoming Adversity" Text: Mark 10:46-52 “Then they reached Jericho, and as Jesus and his disciples left town, a large crowd followed him. A blind beggar named Bartimaeus (son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road. 47 When Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby, ...read more

    Because Jesus will return one day, we must return to Him today.

    Have you ever become aware of a problem and put off taking care of it? A couple months ago, I noticed some significant corrosion at the top of our water heater where the cold-water line comes in.

    A Welcome Change In Government Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 26, 2022
     | 2,468 views

    Christ is Lord even over those who seem to have all the influence today. They’re not running things, He is. They’re not shaping history, He is. None can override him, for Christ holds the keys. He will be forever secure on his throne!

    A change in government is always a big deal: there are new cabinet members to choose, new policies to begin implementing, new office spaces to move into. The old is quickly shuffled to one side, and the new is put into the spotlight. In our text today, we see something similar. Isaiah 22 describes ...read more

    Where Do You Put Your Trust? Series

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,609 views

    Keep yourself from idols because all of them will come to nothing. Don’t trust in something that’s going to fail you in the end. Remember that you have a better refuge, a kingdom that cannot be shaken. The LORD God alone is the shade in whom we may dwell, in whom we may put our trust.

    Where do you put your trust? Without any exaggeration at all, that’s the most important question of our life: Who to trust? What do you seek for the security, confidence, the peace and rest that you need? And this is the only right answer: ‘I trust in God. I wait on him. My faith is in the Lord ...read more

     | 1,249 views

    Without the fullness of the Holy Spirit operating in our lives, all steps and principles of discipleship won’t work, because we’re trying to put into practice spiritual principles through natural understanding. Therefore, it’s only logical to build our spiritual lives.

    There is a reason why in the chorus of “Days of Elijah” that the phrase “It’s the year of Jubilee” happens in an entire chorus focusing on Jesus Christ. "Jubilee" is about Jesus.
