    Redemption Rejected Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Apr 3, 2018
     | 5,708 views

    This message was preached on Palm Sunday. Many people will shout "Hosanna" on one day and the next will cry out "Crucify Him." The reason why many stop following Jesus often not a matter of disbelief but outright rejection.

    Today is Palm Sunday, so called because when Jesus had His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the people were exuberant and waved palm branches and placed them in the road where the Jesus, riding a donkey, walked into Jerusalem. It is interesting to note that palm branches, in that day was ...read more

     | 7,140 views

    God wants us to be people: 1. Who have problems for the right reason. 2. Who remember that God is in control. 3. Who rely on God's help. 4. Who risk caring for other people.

     | 7,563 views

    It’s obvious why kids look forward to Christmas. But today we’re going to look at two people who were looking forward in eager anticipation for a much different reason.

    INTRODUCTION: Remember when you were a kid and you couldn’t wait until Christmas arrived? When my brother and I were young, my Mom would have this Christmas calendar with cotton balls stuck to each of the squares. Each day we took turns taking a cotton ball off. We were excited to do so ...read more

    True Shepherds & False Shepherds - Part 2 Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 9,958 views

    The reason for the broken covenant symbolically depicted in the Zechariah breaking the staff of grace is now more fully described. It becomes painfully clear that not only did they reject the Son of God but they mocked the character and glory of God incar

    Zechariah 11: 11-17 TRUE SHEPHERDS AND FALSE SHEPHERDS - PART II [Matthew 27: 1-10] God gave His Shepherd two staffs, one called Favor (or grace) and the other Union. The Messiah spoke compassionately to them and opposed the false shepherds. He wanted to unite them in the Father and pour His ...read more

     | 71,632 views

    Before you can change you must decide that you want to be changed. There was a reason Jesus asked the question of the lame man, "Do you want to be well?" All of us must answer this crucial question.

    `“A Lame Excuse” John 5:1-15 Jesus has now come up from the city of Cana to the city of Jerusalem to celebrate one of the religious feasts. In Jerusalem there were different gates to enter and they were used for a variety of purposes. One of these gates was called the Sheep gate. ...read more

    What is your favorite excuse temptation for not coming to Church? One of the best reasons to come to church is the old rugged cross. (We increased our worship attendance by twenty percent by promoting this "No Excuse Sunday.")

    “I’m Out of Peanut Butter” “But Caleb tried to encourage the people as they stood before Moses. “Let’s go at once to take the land,” he said.” We can certainly conquer it!” But the other men who had explored the land with him answered, ...read more

    Do Children Who Die Go To Heaven?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jun 16, 2016
     | 4,876 views

    The recent growth in Calvinistic doctrine & teaching on original sin has reignited the debate on whether children are guilty of sin & where they go if they die. This looks at that & gives 5 reasons why I believe they go to heaven.

    DO CHILDREN WHO DIE GO TO HEAVEN? Mt. 19:14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter.

     | 16,930 views

    We are often disappointed with new beginnings, especially with our resolutions to change in the coming year. The reason might be that we are looking to change the wrong things. We look at circumstances instead of looking at who we are within.

    Happy New Year! Some have heard me say before that this is my favorite time of year. It is … it feels sorta like we can start over … doesn’t it? In some ways we feel like we are starting fresh and because of this everything is possible. We haven’t done anything or failed ...read more

    In the introduction to the letter to Titus Paul states his reason for living. Paul lived for the faith of believers and to give them the knowledge of eternal truth. The purpose of our life also needs to be defined if we desire to be focused

     | 6,091 views

    The Bible tells us to stay strong in our faith and to always meet together as a church. But when we look around, it seems that more and more people are leaving the church. Why? This passage of Scripture explains the reason.

    In Hebrews 10:23-25, we read, “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one ...read more

    My Struggles Are All About God Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Jan 31, 2022
     | 3,341 views

    Do our struggles and suffering have a reason or a purpose? God can use our struggles and suffering to bring Him glory. But we must make our struggles all about God, and not about us.

    A. As I meditated on suffering and struggles this week, these ideas came forth in my mind: Suffering is paradoxical. Suffering is bad and good. Suffering is painful and helpful. Suffering is confusing and enlightening. Suffering isolates and builds community. Suffering may lead to death or ...read more

    Session 1: This introduction to "spiritual gifts" discusses the promise of the Holy Spirit, how and when we receive the Spirit, the meaning of being filled with the Spirit, and the reason why spiritual gifts are given to believers.
