    God in his mercy and grace hears us, renews and restores us, when we are broken and repentent.

    The Season of Lent… is something of a roller coaster ride in which we confront our own sinfulness in light of the suffering of Christ. And yet during this time of introspection we are also keenly aware of how the story ends with Christ’[s victory over sin and death. This morning we ...read more

    Hatred – A Path Of Self-Destruction.

    Hate is a mental condition that harms the mind, body and spirit, which if allowed to remain will also destroy our relationship with God.

    Introduction The Hatfield and McCoy feud was recently on TV; this is one of the saddest things I have ever watched. It is so wrong for people to hate people just because of their name or because of something they have done in the past. When Christians hate people they are in direct violation of ...read more

    The church has much work to do! We we never arrive at a place in history where the work of the church is irrelevant.

    Text: Matthew 25:35-40 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 ...read more

     | 5,115 views

    Most Christians can't share with non-christian why they believe except to say I believe because I believe. Faith is an amazing gift, but God gave answers to why all throughout the universe! WE WANT TO HELP YOU HAVE ANSWERS!

    March 17, 2013 Love does. CONTEND pt.2 // why? Good Morning! Why do we believe?

    This Christian Hymn is a great study on the struggle we face while we wait on Christ's return. We only find rest in His presence. May God help us not to seek satisfaction from the fount of the flesh!

    This past April 17th I had my 56th birthday. Jenny and I now have 11 grandchildren and our oldest grandchild is still seven years old! That gives new meaning to the words “Seven-Eleven” for us.

    This sermon is about the way that believers use straw arguments to hide their true agenda which is really to gossip and tear down other believers either based on race or what they have accomplished in the Kingdom of God.

    Judas - A Man Who Became A Traitor

    Contributed by Clay Gentry on Aug 7, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,242 views

    When you picture Judas what do you see? A monster, or a devilish figure? Do you ever see yourself? The truth is we have a lot more in common with Judas than we care to admit. In this lesson we'll explore the life of Judas and how it relates to our own.

    When it comes to villains the Bible has its fair share. There’s Cain the brother-killer. The conniving Delilah. The murderous Jezebel. The rampaging Manasseh. And then there’s public-enemy #1, Judas the betrayer of Jesus. Too often we look at the villains and we see people that we ...read more

    Joseph is young and good looking, yet he overcame a serious sexual temptation. We can develop our strategy for victory by examining Joseph's response.

    When I first studied Genesis 39 and the story of Joseph and Potophar’s wife, I thought initially that I would “tone down” the sexual content of this chapter. The story provided in this passage details Joseph’s vivid encounter with a seductive woman, and his victory as he ...read more

    Who is responsible for Jesus' death? Consider the men who plotted and carried it out.
