    To Have It All You Must Love All

    Contributed by Tim May on Mar 15, 2015
     | 5,303 views

    It is easy to love church family members in blue sky moments, but real love is demonstrated in the grey sky days.

    This morning I want to focus on Jesus’ command: “Love each other as I have loved you." Please note it is a command and not a suggestion. You of course know that I as a military person understand the difference between a command and a suggestion. At first glance this command looks easy ...read more

    10 principles for financial agreement in the family (Material adapted from Wayne A. Mack's book, Strengthening Your Marriage, Unit 5, pg. 113)

    Introduction: We should be one in the area of our finances, but easier said than done. It is unlikely that a married couple will be free from conflicts over finances. Several reasons: 1) Each of us is a sinner and inclined to be selfish 2) Raised in different homes and have different ...read more

    Zacchaeus The Innocent

    As Jesus makes his way toward Jerusalem and the Triumphant Entry of Palm/Passion Sunday he makes an important stop in Jericho to have dinner with Zacchaeus the Innocent. How many times in life do we jump to the wrong conclusions?

    Zacchaeus the “Innocent” “Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through town. 2 A man there named Zacchaeus, a ruler among tax collectors, was rich. 3 He was trying to see who Jesus was, but, being a short man, he couldn’t because of the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed ...read more

    When you "mind your thoughts," you don't have anything to worry about.

    Next Sunday is Stewardship Commitment Sunday. You and I recently received pledge cards from our Finance and Stewardship Committee, and they are asking us to make a commitment about what we will give in the year 2015. There will be a time set aside in next Sunday’s service for those of us who ...read more

    God makes our desert a garden; He turns our exile into homecoming.

    MY MOTHER DIED when I was twenty-six. She was only fifty-seven. A few years before her death, she was diagnosed with cancer of the larynx. She fought it bravely, but, in time, it overtook her, and all too soon, by our accounts, she died. We had a service led by an Air Force chaplain at a local ...read more

    The Power Of The Secret Closet

    Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 13, 2015
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,994 views

    What is the “Secret Closet?” It's the Habit of shutting yourself in God, Seeking God, calling on Him, and Intimacy with God. Prayer is transfiguring, refreshing, and can alter the future.

    THE POWER OF THE SECRET CLOSET Mt. 6:5-6 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Some things really changed between the former generations and the kids of the last generation. 2.

    “he Was Tortured By The Romans” Series

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 20, 2015
     | 5,400 views

    The Romans tortured Jesus out of ignorance. But is that a justifiable excuse?

    It’s interesting to contrast how the suffering of Jesus is portrayed. There are depictions that are rated PG. There’s hardly any blood; and Jesus looks more annoyed than in pain. There’s a heavenly glow around His head, as He gazes into heaven. Then there are depictions that more ...read more

    Dispelling The Darkness

    What we’re trying to do is push back the darkness.

    So, Matthew says that, “when Jesus heard that John [the Baptist] had been arrested, he withdrew….” What does that tell us? It tells us – doesn’t it? – that there is a force of darkness at work in this world. And we know what that means, of course. It means there ...read more

    Daniel: Consistent, Confident And Courageous Series

    Contributed by Billy Ricks on May 1, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 20,295 views

    Daniel teaches us be example how to live righteously for Jesus. His consistent life and confident trust in Yahweh should be a great encouragement to us as we live in an ever increasing Godless culture and world.

    Intro: We are living in a culture that is much like Daniel’s today. Politically correct and privately motivated. Daniel is old possibly 80 or 90 years old. He has probably seen his family and friends grow old around him. His Hebrew accent is most likely gone and he wears the clothing ...read more

    God foresees our needs. He provides for our needs, ahead of time, even before we see them. God provides by grace, not merit.

    I want to share from both Chapter 20 and 21 today. Both chapters record God’s specific instructions given to Moses, and now for Joshua to follow through. • God made specific provisions for two particular needs. • Josh 20 – to designate 6 cities as cities of refuge, for ...read more

    Moses’ Disobedience

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 13, 2015

     | 16,228 views

    This time they are complaining that there isn’t enough water for the people. This murmuring led to mutiny, so they came together against Moses and Aaron. They had finally come to the point where they took up arms against their leaders.

    Moses’ Disobedience Keeps Him from Entering the Promised Land Numbers 20:1-12 We are only told about a few incidents that happened during the forty years Israel was in the wilderness. What we do know makes me think that they were out of God’s will most of the time. We can ...read more

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt- And Children Series

    Contributed by Davon Huss on May 22, 2015
     | 5,244 views

    1) God’s plan in creation is for men and women to marry and have children. 2) In this fallen world, marriage is not God’s best for everyone, and having children is not God’s calling on all couples. 3) Focus on Ephesians 6:1-4 (from John Piper)

    HoHum: “Familiarity breeds contempt -- and children." Mark Twain WBTU: Must go back to the context here. At the end of Ephesians 5 Paul talks about marriage. He does give the role of the husband and the role of the wife in marriage, but there is so much more. In Ephesians 5 Paul is ...read more
