    When the storms of life threaten, even overwhelm us, know that Jesus is there, and can save us.

    One very cold day, a farmer sees a bird lying on the path, half dead. He picks up the bird, cradles it in his hands, and blows his warm breath on it. The bird begins to revive, but the farmer has chores to do, and doesn’t have the time to nurse the bird to recovery. But he spots a fresh cow pile, ...read more

    How To Have Healthy Emotions

    Contributed by Brian Williams on Jan 24, 2023
     | 3,003 views

    Remember, our emotions were designed by God and though they have been damaged by our sin or the sins of others, Jesus wants to bring health and healing to every area of our being.

    When we meet each other, what are the first questions we usually ask? How are you? And how do we normally answer? “I’m fine, how are you?” and then answering with what we have been doing, or how we have been physically speaking, not necessarily with what we have been thinking about, experiencing ...read more

    Stand Firm Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 15,434 views

    The world lives by the concept of "go along to get along" but God says "no - stand firm and stand for Me!" Why is that important to God and how do we "stand firm?"

    OPEN: The story is told of a man who was on his way to a costume ball on a Sunday evening. He’d rented a fairly realistic Satan Costume. It was a red suit with a tail and a skintight mask with horns. It was a quality outfit, and … he kind of looked like Satan. In order to get to the party, he had ...read more

    Casual Christians Will Become Casualties

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 25, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,785 views

    Barna research contrasted captive & casual believers, which we can see in Abraham & Lot. We'll see how their faith, or lack of it, guided their choices, and see the outcome of their choices.

    CASUAL CHRISTIANS WILL BECOME CASUALTIES Gen. 13:1-18 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BAD-MOUTHING TO THE WRONG PERSON. An elderly woman came into church. An usher asked her where she’d like to sit. She said, “I’d like to sit down front.” The usher said, “No, you don’t want to sit down there; our pastor is ...read more

    A New Year’s Examination

    Contributed by Kelvin Mckisic on Jan 10, 2024
     | 2,294 views

    With a new year comes a time for self-examination of your life and your relationship with Jesus Christ. Have you ghosted Him? Have you friend zoned Him? Or do you have a loving relationship with Him?

    It is our tradition in this church, as well as many others, to share the ordinance of the Lord’s Supper on the first Sunday of the month. Paul’s admonition to the Corinthian Christians is especially appropriate as one begins a new year: “Let a man examine himself.” Being that this is the first ...read more

    "grief (Part 2): Biblical Response To Kubler-Ross's Stages Of Grief" Series

    Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Aug 9, 2021
     | 5,568 views

    Death separates us from someone we love and oftentimes causes pain of grief! This sermon helps us understand Elizabeth Kubler-Ross's stages of grief and biblical's response to them.

    Last week we learned that grief is a normal response to the loss of any significant person, object, or opportunity. The Bible tells us that many people of faith, even Jesus, grieved. So, it is okay to grieve and cry. But do not grieve like the unbelievers who don't have hope. Do not dwell in ...read more

    A sermon about discipleship,

    “This is Extremely Difficult” Luke 6:27-36 A colleague of mine told me about a time a certain person in the church came to his office and told him: “I don’t like you.” Months later, she came up to him and said, “I get the feeling you don’t like me.” His response was, “Honestly, you make it ...read more

    For Growing Love Series

    Contributed by Scott Jewell on Feb 18, 2024
     | 1,538 views

    Paul's love for the church of Philippi motivated his prayers for them. What does this demonstrate for us as we pray for our churches today?

    This past Wednesday, we celebrated Valentine’s Day. So it seems appropriate that we talk about a prayer about growing love since the idea of love is on people’s minds. I had to chuckle when I saw this meme on Facebook and shared it with someone who had posted to see if anyone would like ...read more

    Easter, The Gospel Of Hope

    Contributed by Wayne Lawson on Apr 19, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,899 views

    The great question of the Resurrection is not whether it really happened - it did — and the evidence is overwhelming, so that’s not the question. Instead, the great question of the resurrection is - now what?

    TITLE: EASTER, THE GOSPEL OF HOPE SCRIPTURE: ST. MARK 16:1-8 One of the great disparities between the first Easter and our Easter today is that today Easter has become that time when we as Christians at least appear to have everything together — and that’s not a bad thing - this is just part of ...read more
