    The Cream Rises To The To Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,799 views

    For most of us, the idea that the Messiah will judge each of us and the idea that God does not change -- and therefore we must adapt to Him and not He to us -- motivates us to surface as His followers. We recognize the wisdom of aligning ourselves to Him

    The Cream Rises to the Top (Malachi 3:1-7) 1. Sometimes people say, "It doesn’t matter what we believe, as long as we all believe there is one God?" 2. We were shocked to hear about the polygamous sect in Texas this past week. 3. According to the Associated Press, "Authorities searching the ...read more

    There is no other way of salvation but God’s way!

    INTRO. Have you ever just seen someone that was a good man or woman, but knew they had a need that only God could meet.

    Presenting The Gospel With Discernment Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 27, 2009
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,785 views

    This portion of Matthew is one of the most misquoted and misunderstood parts of the Bible. Jesus isn’t talking about political correctness but about correctly presenting the story of sin and salvation.

    What’s your approach in sharing the gospel? There are probably as many ways of doing it as there are people—mostly because Jesus told us to be His “witnesses.” A witness tells what they experienced. Preaching the gospel—the second of the two reasons for our existence as Christians here on ...read more

    So What

    based on 27 ratings
     | 18,326 views

    No matter what you have done in your life God is still standing by with forgiveness. Once He forgives you, He will use you for His glory. When we look at the Apostle Paul God shows us how he forgave, converted, and used Paul for His glory.

    Introduction: Through our journey in life, we have been on some roads that have put us to shame. We have even said and done some things that we only did in the dark because we did not want the light to shine upon us. If the truth must be told, we all have done some things that we are ashamed of ...read more

    What does it mean to be "born again?"

    Born Again!!! John 3:3-8 Nicodemus came to Jesus in the dark. When Jesus told him that "Ye must be born again" it blew his mind, because he was in the darkness. He could not understand. 2000 years later, do we understand any better? Do we really understand what it is to be "Born again"? We are ...read more

    The Magi not only saw the star which led to the location of the son of God, they made their journey by faith. God "spoke" to them in language they could understand. He does similar things for us today.

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 12, 2012
     | 7,897 views

    The proud are caught up in illusions about themselves. Humility helps us submit to God’s definition of reality rather than ours.

    We’re starting a new series on the Seven Deadly Sins and their corresponding Heavenly Virtues. With every negative command in Scripture there’s a related positive duty; for every “Thou shall not” there is a “Thou shall”. Sin is our ruin, virtue our ...read more
