    1. Everyone says “Follow your heart”. But “The heart is deceitful above all things . . ." 2. we tend to be passionate about things we're good at, but getting good takes a lot of work 3. It's difficult to see the difference between passion and addiction

    The most common career advice people hear these days is that in order to be happy you have to pursue your passion. This is the first generation I’m aware of that has swallowed such a lie. Today I’d like to present three problems, huge reasons that pursuing your passion as a path to ...read more

    Called For Such A Time Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 21, 2021
     | 6,594 views

    While we are thankful for the blessings associated with our relationship with Christ, we know living the Christian life is difficult at best. Life is not without adversity, but the Lord's provision and guidance are sufficient. He has brought us to this place in life for such a time as this.

    Called for such a Time Esther 4: 10-17 The entire fourth chapter of Esther deals with her reaction to the decree signed by Ahasuerus regarding the Jews and the conversation she had with Mordecai concerning this disturbing plan. Our text today is a continuation of that conversation. One can only ...read more

    There Is Hope

    Ponder the various responses of the people who came to know of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus.

    Can this be real? That Jesus died and then came back to life? • What does it mean to us if He is dead? Does it really matter? The truth is, it matters. If Jesus claims to be God and comes from heaven, and He remains dead, then there is no hope for anyone. • Death ends everything. Death will be ...read more

     | 6,411 views

    I just can't believe it! Ever said that? That was a common response by those to whom Jesus appeared after his resurrection and it's still a rather common response by many today. Don't be surprised! Be ready!

    “I can’t believe it!” Something extraordinary, something unusual, something unexpected happens and we exclaim, “I can’t believe it!” “I can’t believe its snowing…again!” “I can’t believe they actually won the game!” “I can’t believe I passed the test.” “I can’t believe I got the job!” “I ...read more

    Thankful For The Commission

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Nov 25, 2018
     | 3,820 views

    Many are the blessings we receive through a relationship with Christ. One of which is being commissioned with sharing the Gospel. Rather than a burden, this is a tremendous honor!

    Thankful for the Commission Acts 5: 40-42 This morning I want to continue the thought we began last week in regard to the blessings we have through a personal relationship with the Lord. As believers in Christ, pardoned from sin, placed within the body of Christ, and promised eternal life, there ...read more

    "My Own Worst Enemy”

    based on 4 ratings
     | 13,854 views

    Let us hear from the mouth of our most reliable Friend, Jesus.... On HOW TO MAKE AN OPEN WAR WITH WORRY and come out of that battle victorious. It all starts in the mind. The battleground is on the mind.

    We are tested by major changes, delayed promises, impossible problems, unanswered prayers, undeserved criticism, and even senseless tragedies. Human reasoning produces doubt, doubt produces fear, and fear produces anxiety.... That is why we worry a lot! The good news is that God wants us to pass ...read more

    How should we respond to the lost?

    When a “99” Isn’t Good Enough Luke 15:1-7 Introduction How many of you can remember your school days? How many of you would be satisfied with a 99 on your exam? For some of us, we would rejoice at the seventy and one, no less with ninety and nine. But how does God see 99 percent? This parable ...read more

    God is speaking. Listen carefully to what He is saying.

    Out of the Belly of the Rock John 7:37-49 Introduction We can see from what we studied last week in the sermon “What Did Jesus Say (WWJS)?” that the word of God causes controversy in the marketplace. It always has and always will. Today, we will see that this same dispute will break out again in ...read more

    Confrontation means, to bring face to face, a person or persons into a revelation or truth. Confrontation in a Christians life is real! Those that live for Christ will by their very conduct cause confrontation.

    The story of a 12 year-old boy left behind in Jerusalem by his parents? Sound familiar? Almost sounds like a Christmas classic movie! Not exactly. This is the story of the Son of God, knowing who he was and why he was here.

    As I read through the account from Luke 2 which you heard this morning of how Jesus was left behind by his parents in Jerusalem, I couldn’t help but think of what has become classic Christmas movie, “Home Alone.” If you’re not familiar with the movie, it’s about a boy around the age of 10-12 ...read more

    It’s a different kind of blank check the Lord will be giving us.... “I will give you what you asked, even those you did not ask for— No other person in all the world will be compared to you for the rest of your life! I will give you a long life.”

    “Want A Blank Check? ...Check It Out!” 1Kings 3:3-15 3- Solomon loved the Lord and followed all the decrees of his father, David, except that Solomon, too, offered sacrifices and burned incense at the local places of worship. 4- The most important of these places of worship was at Gibeon, so the ...read more
