    The Garden of Gethsemane began as a place of stress and ended as a place of rest. We can learn much from our Master.

    Your Place of Stress or Rest Mark 14:32-52 • Do you know what stress is? Everybody in this room understands this term because it is seems to be so evident today. Little kids have stomach problems, teenagers have relational problems (peers), and everybody seems to have emotional problems if ...read more

In the Presbyterian tradition, only a minister of word and sacrament is authorized to consecrate the elements. And only ordained officers of the church are granted the privilege of distributing the elements to ...read more

    God must be sought by those whose soil is not nurturing the fruit of the Spirit.

    Read Matthew 13.1-9. Pray. Introduction A Greek philosopher wanted to illustrate to his students that they must not only have knowledge but also a life changed by the truths he gave them.

    Are You A Legalist? Or An Illegalist?

    Contributed by Jason Smith on Sep 15, 2013
     | 3,057 views

    Are you a legalist, or are you an illegalist? In other words, do you follow the law of God, or do you disobey the law of God? It is not a bad thing to be labeled a legalist. Satan has used this creative title to try to deceive many people to disobey God.

    Matthew 7:13-27 Who in this room would consider themselves a legalist? This is the topic that I would like to briefly talk to you about tonight: Legalism, or “The Lie of Legalism.” Since the beginning of the Lord’s church, the devil has held nothing back; He has created so many ...read more

    Like the Ephesians we live in an increasingly pagan world. Satan has provided us with lots of ,temple of Diana like, competitors. In spite of this, Like the Ephesians, Christ has made us to be His one body.

    One in Christ Ephesians 2:11-21 July 22, 2018 The early church was faced with the challenge of preaching the saving Gospel to Jews and non Jews who had vastly different cultures, vastly different values, and incompatible religious backgrounds.

    The Biggest Mistake Of All

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 19, 2023
     | 937 views

    Why did the crowd choose Barabbas over Jesus? Does it say something about their priorities - and ours?

    Nathan wished he were anything but here. When he had reported for duty that morning he had no idea what he was getting into. Usually he loved being a temple guard. The pay was good, the duty was light, and the prestige was awesome. The hardest thing he had to do was keep his mouth shut about what ...read more

     | 10,696 views

    Who we are depends on who we listen to tells who we are. We are used to hearing criticism from our friends, our bosses, the state, and our enemies. Who should we listen to? Well none of them, only person who the Lord says we are.

    A Challenge Of True Faith: Give Ye Them To Eat

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Nov 20, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,229 views

    You give them something to eat. We cannot be true disciples of Jesus with this dead faith, He wouldn’t allow it then and he doesn’t allow it now.

    The first outstanding event of Jesus feeding of the five thousand, occurs right after the report of the twelve apostles, who had just returned from their first missionary tour. This is a glowing account of their work and their teaching. Matthew says that Jesus withdrew to a desert place apart when ...read more

    Surrendering Credentials To Christ

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,948 views

    If we're not careful, we can get caught up in the world's system of polishing that pedigree. Rather, like the Apostle Paul, we need to surrender all to the great goal of knowing more intimately Christ our Lord. Everything else is secondary.

    Philippians 3:4-14 Surrendering Credentials to Christ Any top-blockers here? Any type-A personalities? Any hard chargers who consistently rank in the top percentile? The military is basically an up-or-out system, so it attracts into career service those who are driven to succeed. Many of you are ...read more

    Today, we will spend some time with a familiar but stunning story that is told in all four gospels. John tells us, “So [Jesus] made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts… and overturned their tables.” Jesus is consumed with zeal.

    A sermon for Church Anniversary

    Jesus said, ‘every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a householder who brings out of his treasure-store both the new and the old.’ This rather odd little verse is probably a kind of signature from the writer of the Gospel. It’s as though he was giving us a hint about ...read more
