    Something Completely Different

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Sep 17, 2023
     | 1,135 views

    When God intervenes to bring life out of death, we have to let him do it his way.

    How many of you remember Monty Python? The British comedy group in - I think - the 70's which used to transition between their skits with “And now for something completely different....” And it always was pretty strange. Part of their appeal was that their humor was so totally off the wall, ...read more

    Sticky Fingers Series

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Nov 25, 2022
     | 1,342 views

    This commandment teaches us that keeping our hands off our neighbor’s things is as important as keeping our hands off our neighbor’s neck.

    One of my favorite movies ever is a little gem called “The Gods Must Be Crazy.” It starts out with an idyllic look at society among the stone age tribesmen of the Kalahari desert. They have absolutely no possessions. Not one. Not even so much as a loin cloth. They spend most of their time hunting ...read more

    A sermon about humility.

    “A Riches to Rags Story” Philippians 2:1-13 You wouldn’t think it would be all that difficult. As a matter of fact, you’d think it would just come naturally. I mean, think about it. We are all born as little babies who don’t know a thing and are completely dependent on our mothers. We ...read more

    Exemplary Creature Of An Impeccable Creation

    Contributed by Ed Lu on Aug 23, 2020
     | 2,469 views

    This is a discourse to observe our role as God meant for us when He made us and gave us life. And to understand how Creation is God’s overarching plan to bless us with a part to be witnesses of His love, mercy, grace, power and goodness.

    God who is Creator is also my Helper 1. Psalm 121:1-2 I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Here is a pauper turned psalmist because in the midst of grueling horror he sees a glorious hope. He may have been ...read more

     | 492 views

    Believing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the ONLY way one can be saved. This message needs to be shared to the world/

    Faith Comes by Hearing Romans 10:8–17 NKJV But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be ...read more

    I Am The Light Series

    Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 7, 2024
     | 1,235 views

    Our words and deeds should not mimic the world’s futile search for significance but should instead reflect a passion for God so strong and divinely initiated that our good deeds point to the sinless One who holds the keys to both death and life.

    The Light of the World John 8:12; Matthew 5:14-16 Online Sermon: http://www.mckeesfamily.com/?page_id=3567 How can one cast a shadow of significance upon a world that is filled with constant change, ever evolving thought processes and constant innovation?

    When My Strength Runs Out

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 15, 2025
     | 350 views

    When human strength collapses, divine life begins; Christ replaces effort with indwelling power, transforming weakness into the vessel of grace.

    Introduction — When the Tank Is Empty There comes a point in every believer’s life when the gears grind and the fuel gauge hits E. You can quote all the right verses. You can teach Sabbath School, preach a fine sermon, smile in the foyer, and still feel like your soul is running on fumes. Some ...read more

    Dying To Know

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 19, 2025

    Christ turned death from final sentence to sacred sleep; those who die in Him will awaken when death itself has died.

    Opening Story – Everybody’s an Expert Have you noticed that everybody’s an expert on heaven until you ask for directions? A little boy once asked his Sunday-school teacher, “Do you really go straight to heaven when you die?” She said, “Yes, honey.” He squinted and said, “Then why does Pastor Bill ...read more

    Do We Want To Avoid Temptation? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Jun 2, 2025
     | 427 views

    We finish up the Lord's Prayer sermon series with Jesus' words on temptation. Do they match how we normally approach sin in our lives?

    AVOIDING TEMPTATION: Do I want this for my life? - Matthew 6:13. - Now we come to the close of the Lord’s Prayer. Jesus has invited us to pray about a number of important subjects and now we have a final one about spiritual victory. - What does v. 13 mean? I think a summary statement would be ...read more

     | 247 views

    To what degree am I receiving the Love of God. Where are we in our love for God and for each other? Where do we need to grow? Where do we need to change?

    In order to fulfill God’s mission for us as individuals and His church, we need to continually mature in our total being (mind, emotions, and will). As human beings, as men and women, made in God’s image He created us for His purpose and His glory. However, because of the Fall, sin has done its ...read more

    What Really Matters!

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 25, 2024
     | 1,033 views

    Considering eternity, what one believes is far more important than what one achieves. At the same time, are we also thinking about our neighbors and reaching out to them?

    Opening illustration: Video of Chiune Sugihara’s Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppCEta8I4UA Introduction: The power to obtain money is derived from God and as such all belongs to him; “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may ...read more

    God's Plan For The Nations Series

     | 897 views

    What materials are we using to build our lives and our futures? What are we using to build our relationships, our marriages and or our families?

    In chapter 10 we see a record of the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. It’s referred to as the Table of 70 nations - a record of all the nations that came from Noah’s and his sons and as they were dispersed. What is interesting is that, chronologically, chapter 10 should come ...read more

    Why do you suppose it is that people find it so difficult to understand that real freedom only comes when we obey God?

    It’s a risky thing to mix politics and religion. It’s too easy to confuse the two. And if I remember correctly, one of the major bones of contention during my predecessor’s tenure was over that very thing: whether or not it was proper to have the American flag in the sanctuary. Many people do ...read more
