    Where Do You Stand? Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 25, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,886 views

    This message looks at how our heart is like soil into which the gospel is planted, and we must be certain that our soil is fertile and ready to receive the Word. Otherwise, we will wither in our relationship with God; or worse, we will perish.

    I have entitled our message, “Where Do You Stand?” This morning, as we look at what’s called the “Parable of the Sower,” we’re going to see how Jesus talks about four different soils, or four different types of spiritual ground, on which people may stand in relation to God. Something challenging ...read more

    Contributed by David Owens on Mar 6, 2023
     | 4,690 views

    In this first sermon in the series on the Gospel of Mark, we want to answer the questions: who was Mark and why is he an unlikely author of a Gospel.

    A. One day a woman was cleaning her house and singing Gospel songs as she worked. 1. She began singing, “Soon and very soon, we are going to see the king...” 2. A few minutes later, she heard her young son in the next room and he was singing the same song, but something a little off. 3. Listen to ...read more

    The Boy’s Sneeze And The Mother’s Joy (October 9, 2022)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Oct 6, 2022
     | 2,790 views

    Today we are looking at how God works beyond our ability to understand! In our scripture for today, we hear about a childless family who had a child and later lost that child until God showed up and showed out and brought that child back to life!

    THE BOY’S SNEEZE AND THE MOTHER’S JOY (October 9, 2022) Text: 2 Kings 4:18 -21, 2 Kings 4:28 – 37 2 Kings 4:18-37 When the child was older, he went out one day to his father among the reapers. (19) He complained to his father, "Oh, my head, my head!" The father said to his ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 2,185 views

    Much attention is given to caring for our bodies, but caring for our spirit is even more important. This message instructs believers on how to maintain a strong, fervent spirit.

    Intro We have been talking about the human spirit. Paul prayed for the Ephesian believers that they would be strengthened in the inner man (Eph. 3:16). It was said of both John the Baptist and Jesus that they became “strong in spirit.”i God wants our spirit to be strong. As we learned in previous ...read more

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 30, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,015 views

    This message covers the last six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 2).” As we get started, I should remind us that the words of Jesus seen in our passage are called “The Beatitudes,” and that the word “beatitude” comes from a Latin term meaning “blessedness.”(1) But the term “blessed” used ...read more

    The sixth sign in John 9:1-41 teaches us that Jesus is the light of the world who gives sight to the spiritually blind.

    Introduction The Apostle John wrote The Gospel According to John. Jesus had done thousands of miracles. John selected just seven of these miracles, which he called “signs,” to help his readers “believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing [they] may have life in his ...read more

    Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control (12th Sunday After Pentecost 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 8, 2024
     | 992 views

    One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Ephesians 4:25-32  So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.  (26)  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ...read more

    Navigating The Ebb And Flow

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Dec 24, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 789 views

    Jesus shared words to help John's disciples navigate change, as they were dealing with the loss of their leader. He also addressed the change of grace over legalism. This passage can be applied to change within the church.

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Navigating the Ebb and Flow.” The expression “ebb and flow” is an idiom used to describe periods of highs and lows, and growth and decline, just like the rising and falling of the tides. It is essentially the idea that life is not always constant, but ...read more

    Why Speak In Parables Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 456 views

    The parables are more than storytelling devices to help people remember Jesus' teachings. The listener who pursues understanding will receive both healing and blessing, and ultimately come to know God.
