    Let’s take an honest look at conflict in the church.

    Introduction It is time for peacemaking, time for us to consider how to have peace in our lives and how to be instruments of peace for others. I daresay that if I set aside sixty seconds for us to list the names of people with whom we do not feel at peace with, everyone in this sanctuary could ...read more

    The Masqueraders Series

    based on 5 ratings
     | 10,183 views

    The devil and his workers will not appear as satan & deceivers. They will appear to be on your side & on God’s side. But they will take your attention off God, off Jesus Christ, off sharing His Gospel & place attention on man & his frailties.

    2 CORINTHIANS 11: 11-15 [GAINING PERSPECTIVE Series] THE MASQUERADERS [Matthew 24: 1-5 / 1 John 4:1-3] A attack on the purity of Paul's motives was a disguise for the false preachers actions. They acted like they were concerned for what was right so that they could divide the unity of the ...read more

    Can A Person Know Jesus Intimately?

    Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Sep 6, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,773 views

    I believe that the essential issue in the church today is the need to grow in intimacy with Jesus, the Creator God of all things.

    God desires to have a personal, intimate, loving, dynamic, and powerful relationship with every person on the planet. WHAT IS INTIMACY? To develop an intimate relationship with Jesus, we need to define what that looks like. Some have said that intimacy means "in-to-me-see" and begins ...read more

    How Do I Strengthen My Faith? Series

    The church of Colossae was dealing with a new form of teaching similar to the kind of thing we witnessed with Tom Hanks’ movie, The Da Vinci Code some years back. Only this was entertainment, it was heresy. This new brand of teaching sweeping the day denied Jesus really was a human.

    Welcome and thank you for worshipping with us this morning. Keep Colossians 2 open before you, will you? Despite perceptions, people do love change. Many of you have been home with nothing to do for weeks now. If someone had come to you in early January and said, “I’ll give you a three month ...read more

    Courting Danger Series

     | 4,569 views

    Ultimately the biblical issue is Church division. Just as there can be internal actions that divide the church, there can also be external actions that divide the church. Paul hopes to set a biblical standard here for believers to follow.

    COURTING DANGER 1 Corinthians 6:1-8 INTRODUCTION: When I hear the word courting, my mind immediately goes to thoughts of dating, courtship and marriage. So, it was not so much of a jump to remember this story about marriage,: A wife was sitting at the breakfast table and asked her husband, “What ...read more

    Gamaliel gives us a fine example of one who practiced wise toleration without sacrificing what is true, honorable and God inspired.

    1. Today’s media continually stresses the importance of tolerating other peoples’ beliefs, practices or viewpoints with a measure of respect. Yet, Christians know that Jesus is THE way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Him. Gamaliel gives us a fine example of one who ...read more
